    So i've now watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of Luke Cage, and it's.....pretty similar to season 1. It's still pretty slow, although that doesn't bother me too much, but the dialogue is still awfully clunky and awkward. people just say odd things all the time that don't feel natural or appropriate for the character.

    I'm so glad to get a voice of sanity here. I've got friends who normally hate anything that's a little badly made, but they love Luke Cage. I also can't get over how bad almost every bit-part and extra actor is. Like, are they not even real extras, just people off the street?

    I tried to get back into this and actually, there were a couple of episodes in the prison that weren't too bad. But then after that it goes back to the same tired crap. I've got long random drawn out scenes with Claire's side story that just doesn't go anywhere and nobody cares about. Talking goes on and on as if they think their dialogue is really thought-provoking and emotional when it's just boring. I just don't get what they're doing, it's a comic book story about an invincible guy with super strength, why is half of every episode just him talking to old guys in the hood...

  2. You didn't, sorry should've been clearer, I think I read into that in something Flink said

    The part-time fans are annoying, but they're only part-time annoying, too! They're very easy to sniff out and see through. The ones that annoy me are the ones who trash stadiums or start riots, as they give the sport a bad name. I dislike these ones most of all. 

    But re-reading that I think I got defensive and misunderstood that anyway.

  3. That's a pretty extreme example then, and one where I appreciate being a little irked by your brother's hypocrisy, but I wouldn't take that as a reason to look down on anyone who is only now gaining interest. Plenty of people could be nudged into a deeper enjoyment beyond the world cup, tell them "if you thought that was a good match check out this youtube video" etc.

    I wouldn't consider myself a football fan at all, but my boss' interest often inspires me to pay more attention, learn the player names and teams etc.

    And on the idea that it's casual fans making a mess of arenas and causing violence and giving "proper" fans a bad name.... Blimey, hate to break it to you but "proper" football fans have a pretty bad name for these kinds of things most of the time already.

    My eldest brother hates the sport but now that England are doing well he tries to have a conversation about it with me and it's just embarrassing. The same thing happened at work a few times, which is why the conversation got brought up.

    Blimey, talk about gatekeeping. Shouldn't you be trying to encourage more people to love football, instead of rolling your eyes at people who don't take it seriously enough for you? Tell your brother without making him feel stupid what he's misunderstanding, and he might get interested....

    In video game terms, this is like PC master race/neckbeards looking down on casuals. Instead of feeling that your precious interest is being encroached on, encourage those casuals to try a real game and they might be surprised, right?

      Niflheim (Hide contents)

    @Shorty What is it that you dislike about Niflheim? I've enjoyed the maze running and mini boss fights etc. Still have 2 more of the realm tears to complete (I'll admit the mist echoes are annoying), but I managed to defeat the Valkyrie (Hildr) last night at the first attempt - so one less thing to worry about :)

     

    I guess it's easier if you go back later. After I got a few better bits of armour every fight got a lot easier. That stands to reason obviously but it's so late in the game the options for getting much stronger are fewer, so it's a bit of a wall. Also it's going to take a lot more runs to do all of it.

    Yeah when you see a Valkyrie ready to take off for an aoe attack a shock arrow should be enough to disrupt the move set and keep them grounded. To be honest I left the Valkyries till last when I had the pick of all the gear I'd collected, the fights can be pretty fun if you mix up your gear to suit each Valkyrie, except Sigrun, she can fuck right off.

    I can't really stand mixing up gear. If a game ever needed saved armour sets, it was this one.

  7. When the red circle appears for an unblockable attack? The one that does full AoE damage of about 1/3 your HP? Man I hope the arrow is not enough cos if it is, I've been overcomplicating that particular aspect.

  8. They can fuck right off too. Most of them have reasonable patterns but for every single one they definitely thought "how can this be a bit more frustrating than the last?" Some of them have unblockable attacks where you have to hit them with an axe throw before it happens, with no other option, but I'm pretty sure some attacks are just 100% unavoidable.

    Don't even get me started on Niflheim.

  9. That mouse is trash EE, sorry. I bought one and I just couldn't stand how fussy and inaccurate it is. I never cared about mouse resolution until I got that and struggled to move the mouse in small increments.

    Good news is if you complain and review it low, they'll offer you a refund and alternative product free. (But I didn't bother because I assume they're all trash)

    Why is it so hard to find a full size wireless mouse now that isn't a gross LED/snake covered gamer mouse with a keyboard on the side?

  10. Does this game stand up still? I think at this point if I wanted to go back for some nostalgic co-op I'd get Diablo 2 and the mod that adds all the tweaks/fixes and extra dungeons at the end.

    Still this is often cheap and the "complete" edition for PS4 is calling out to me...
