Tobey’s Dad

Best open world game ever. Bar none.

The last few years have taken a tremendous toll on my mental health. Being made redundant thanks to the pandemic, the months of unemployment, the mental stress… I developed an erratic sleep pattern. Basically I suffer from extreme insomnia, and I rarely get more than 2-3 hours at a stretch. Thanks to my deteriorating mental health, I find myself reading, watching anything and everything. The countless nights of bad reality tv binges, the hours of unsatisfying TV series… and then came Amazon’s Rings of Power. What an amazing feat, such a tour de force of elaborate not to mention costly… dullness. One cannot help but marvel at the consistency in blandness in every episode. The sheer effort in cliche acting choices, the uninspiring plot and script devices. Every time one hopes that the storyline will give you a twist, a significant plot turn, the show producers never fail to let you down. Awards should be given out simply for how much has been wasted in resources, time and even careers just to put out something this tedious, monotonous, not to mention drab and just simply boring. But at last, my insomnia may be cured. For the first time in months, I slept for a good 9 hours. I’m grateful, I really am. I read about how expensive sleep therapy could cost and I never expected Amazon to spend over a billion to help cure mine. For that one night of good sleep, I thank you, Jeff Bezos. Truly.

Cheesy and so cliche. Typical nostalgia tripe selling the “good ol’ days of yore”, nothing that hasn’t been overproduced and overshot with filters since SBC produced 雾锁南洋 back in 1984.

Well written, well shot. Cinema-making at its best; no overwrought CGI, no false dilemma drama. If only movies can go back to the good ol’ days, well this movie proves they can.

Despite its impressive budget, the show comes across as a cheap, low-rent production befitting a high school video club project. The actors are uninspired, the dialogue delivery flat and uninteresting, and the special effects are unimaginative. As for the book fans, all I can say is this series shares some very broad story arcs, that’s all. If you are a huge fan of Robert Jordan’s work, then stay away because this aberration by Amazon utterly butchers his work.

Horrible combat system. Full of bugs and graphical errors. Dated art renders. No cross-gen play and pre-order + special edition items not available. Playing on PS5.

Been playing since launch and... there’s just not much going on. By the time you’re done with the story campaigns (finished all 3 at this point, TWICE), and levelled up a few characters to max 150 gear level, there just isn’t much to do. Combined with the fact that killing droids nonstop is just... boring. And ironically for a MARVEL game, its main villains are just so, so DULL. So 1st June 2021, I’m calling it. Champion system grind? No thanks. Red room event? It’s just the same old rehash of the same old whatever. I’ve done my bit as a fan. Crystal Dynamics has failed as a studio.
