Universal values? What a crock. I lost so much respect for Disney over this. I personally didn't agree with most of what Gina said because I lean a little left, but what she said was right down Republican main party lines. That's literally like what 50% of the country believes. I live in a conservative area, and I don't know a person in this area that didn't agree with most everything she said.
She got fired for going against Democratic values - not "universal values" - which is the same thing as saying she was fired for political reasons.
@DeadlyMustard: honestly, the bugs alone make it worthy of a 7. She could take everything else out and that could drag the score that low.
She said every single quest had a bug! And these aren't bugs you miss in QA testing. These are things that should have been fixed forever ago.
How does the game get this delayed and people constantly T-posing and cardboard boxes exploding for no reason all over the place stay in the game? And then tons of places are giving the game a 9 or a 10? That's shameful in my opinion and sends a clear message that they can release a buggy mess and fix it later and they'll still get good review scores. Review outlets need to hold them accountable for these kinds of practices. It's okay to give them a low score and change it later if they fix it, but there's no way a game this broken should get over a 7 in my opinion until it's fixed, no matter how good the bones underneath it are.
@Barighm: Exactly. It's not like people are saying, "Too much avengers! Let's wait longer for the sequel!" The problem is JJ Abrams set up the universe and then Rian Johnson tore it down. If JJ did all 3 and the creative vision was constant, they wouldn't be having these problems. I haven't seen Solo yet, but I've also heard a lot of people were fed up with the not so subtle agenda messages in that one. You can't take one of the greatest series of all time lightly and then not expect a backlash.
@gamingdevil800: I just worry that they're going to turn Dr Who into some heavy-handed, politically-correct agenda show. If they turned the doctor into a girl for story reasons or because she nailed the audition more than anyone, than fine and I'd be hopeful for what they could do with that, but i didn't get that vibe at all - i got the feeling that they chose a girl on purpose to push their agenda - and i wouldn't be surprised if they took it even farther. Hoping they make this work and don't ruin it. Just make it entertainment while being true to the characters, not a platform for shoving values on people.
Everything looked incredible to me other than the overall battlefield graphics. I love when the actual fighting starts and all the units clash, but when selecting movement and where to attack, the backgrounds and environment look so blah and low res. It looks like PS1 quality almost. I hope they up the quality a little more before release.
@joshrmeyer: It's officially out of early release and on v1.0, but this game is still no where near the stability or even the features of what you'd consider a completed game. I'm not sure why they arbitrarily chose this release to be v1.0. Most finished games have bugs, but most of them are so obscure that the average player never runs into them. I can name over 20 major standing bugs or missing features in this game just off the top of my head. They still only have 2 maps, no other game modes, no way to practice or even try the weapons really. They actually have a custom game mode... but only a few people have permission to use it hasn't been released to the public yet, despite being "1.0" and out of early release.
Having said all that though, I play the game every single night. The performance is massively improved in the last 6 months. The features that are in there make for a very solid experience, and they are constantly adding new patches and improvements and continuing to improve things. There's not a whole lot that can compare to the excitement of this game or the feeling of unique stories or experiences every night.
@DrYuya: I know. I work in IT and I have to work with all these clowns everyday and they just act like children. It really is a scary profession. I really like the imagery they used in this movie to potray the fear people have of interacting with IT as well. 5 stars.
@fanirama: My impression was that's because they have a specific setting on that sucks the ball in if it's close. I thought that's what the tornado above the hole meant.
