    It's good! Storm Is a really good Lucio and being able to fly over the map and have an ult that can tko rules.

    Tonight, after doing several team wipes using omega hurricane, the other teams Jeff popped his ult and ate his whole team as soon as I used my hurricane and saved his entire team. I had no idea it could be used that way. I'm still kind of stunned lol



  • I agree on the liberalism and chauvinism bits, it's DNA definitely has that in it for sure and when they show through on screen it's kinda gross. I think there are ways to handle it appropriately without just glossing over colonialism and theft. Or maybe I'm just coping with some cognitive dissonance right now.

    I do disagree that it's boring though. Those first movies were great action movies that were aimed at an audience that films don't really care about anymore. It sucks that everything is either for infants or for adults with almost nothing in between now. I wish they would make more high quality movies, that do not have disdain for its audience, and are still appropriate for 10 year olds. Unlimited genocide on the YA fiction world.

    I also think the world benefits from having some more autistic hero characters in it.


  • Oh man I completely forgot about the Soviets in Crystal skull. What an absolutely trash movie. Now I really wish they had just skipped those and went straight to video games lol

    I have to look up dial of destiny later. I think Crystal skull damaged my psyche in a way that prevented me from being aware of that movie when it released. I'm sure it's probably better this way but I'm kind of curious to see how bad it is.


  • I'm having a ton of fun with it. I'm about 10-12 hours in and I'm looking forward to playing more right now.

    It's different than the Wolfenstein games, but if you enjoyed any of the more recent ones, there is some similarity in the writing and gameplay. The level design reminds me of how they did the levels in youngblood: semi open but with an extremely high level of detail.

    Probably more importantly, if you enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies, you will probably dig this. It's better than any of the movies from the last two decades by a wide margin. It honestly feels like the first real sequel to The Last Crusade. This game does a remarkable job of capturing the spirit of those movies. Bravo to the voice actors in this, especially Troy Baker who absolutely knocks it out of the park.
