It was still a really good game by the time they stopped working on it, and one of the least greedy CCG I've ever seen. Hearthstone was already starting to lose players, and they had a shot at being a replacement, even if the mechanics of the game were rather different.

And then Marvel Rivals came out and the CCG landscape was just overpopulated.

Next up: souls as property.

Satan: "I got a good deal on this one... only needed 500 dollars!"

I'm just going to guess that it reads "Are you winning, son?"

Kernel-level anti-cheat can go fuck itself.

They kinda did, if you think about it.

Say those words in the spoiler out loud, and you'll see how silly and ridiculous the concept was, especially to modern audiences.

Only the Sith believe in absolutes.

I agree that there were some duds in the bunch, but not everything in LDR was a hit, either.

Most of them told a good story, though, even for games that I would never think were story-oriented (PAC-MAN, Crossfire, Unreal Tournament, Honor of Kings, Concord). Honestly, I think they put more effort into Secret Level than this fourth season of LDR.

I agree, and I'm not trying to make it look like every page on Wikipedia isn't trying to be as impartial as possible. It's just that for certain issues, people can cheat their way out of impartially by magnifying or subduing the material they present.

Really? I liked most of Secret Level, except for that Sony advertisement at the end. Even the Concord episode was really good.

And they do this same thing every new Doctor. They just front-load the first few episodes with the same tired tropes and enemies we've already seen, as if we need to be re-introduced to the same bullshit.

  • Eccleston - A Dalek appears in the sixth episode in one of the worst episodes I've seen, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
  • David Tennant - Cybermen in the sixth and seventh episode, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
  • Matt Smith - Daleks in the third episode
  • Peter Capaldi - Daleks in the second episode (hey, can't be worse than Kill the Moon), Cybermen in the last few episodes of the season
  • Jodie Whittaker - Daleks in the New Year's special (I guess they tried to delay it?)
  • Ncuti Gatwa - No Daleks or Cybermen, so maybe they learned their lesson?

Unfortunately, like many companies chasing after trends in shitty ways, BBC really fucked up Jodie Whittaker's reign by trying to jump on this woke bandwagon by hiring some of the shittiest soap opera writers they could find, to push every kind of topic around racist, sexism, etc. in the most heavy-handed and clumsy way possible. So much wasted potential when they brought in the first female Doctor.

And before you start downvoting me for somehow being some right-wing hack just because I said the word "woke", let's not forget that Jay Exci, a trans person, wrote a five-hour rant shredding every single episode of that season in detail.

 

Disclaimer: I'm obviously not try to pretend this is a good movie, but it is a pretty good review of the hypocrisy at play here, and this channel could use some more views. Everybody point and laugh.
