Absolutely. I haven't been following this game and I'd be thrilled if it was solid at launch, but we gotta keep CS:2 in mind.

They were always 343 from their founding in 2007. It didn't form out of Bungie if that's what you're thinking.

I should play Skyrim again.

Seriously, a typical D&D session might last 6 hours and you accomplish nothing of note, but you have fun! Enjoyment should not be transactional with time.

Light references can be fun but this movie was nearly fourth-wall breaking with how hard they were winking at the audience. When the character itself doesn't even have a reason or know why they're saying the line, just because it's a reference, it begins to feel egregious and kinda icky. Tone helps, stuff like Deadpool can get away with it obviously but I have a hard time giving this one a pass.

The issues sound patchable to a layman like myself. Embrace patient gaming and enjoy in a month or so.

You heard what he said. Fred.

True other games have had that, but it really wasn't a goal for Elden Ring and I don't think it really hinders it. The immersion into a real world was clearly a tentpole design decision for Rockstar in RDR2, but not Fromsoft. Which is fine for you to miss in Elden Ring, I just think we gotta manage expectations sometimes where not every game can have every thing.

They're not good actors.

I had a similar experience tbh. Never played on release, got it a few months ago with Phantom Liberty, really had to push myself through the first "act" which honestly felt like all preamble. Jackie never felt particularly believable to me as a character, he was honestly kinda annoying with how eager he was and the "one more job and we're out" trope, then I was clearly supposed to have grown attached because of a montage of our adventures I didn't get to experience?

It's definitely the perm thing lol. I remember enjoying this movie for what it is.
