I recently completed Shattered Space, and overall, it was a challenging experience with a wealth of content and an extensive storyline that made it enjoyable to play. However, there are notable drawbacks worth discussing. This DLC I was most looking forward to, my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I found some aspects disappointing, particularly concerning the character of Andreja. I’ve always been intrigued by her storyline and have pursued her in nearly every playthrough. Yet, her dialogue and behavior often felt contradictory. In the main game, she portrays a fierce attitude, but when the player makes questionable choices, her reactions can be harsh. I had hoped the DLC would delve deeper into her character, but I found her to be surprisingly underutilized. She hardly spoke throughout the playthrough, and when she did, it didn’t relate to the DLC’s core narrative. For instance, while she had an opinion on how to handle the Ryjuin storyline, there was no mention of her home planet, which felt like a significant missed opportunity. Given the weight of her backstory, it was frustrating to see such an important part of her life go unaddressed. Another issue was the lack of resting spots at vendors. After selling items, I found it cumbersome to manage my inventory with no convenient place to pause and continue trading. The sheer amount of gear and materials in the DLC led me to abandon the effort of organizing my ship, opting instead to focus on gameplay. In summary, while Shattered Space was a fun experience that didn’t entirely meet my expectations, it certainly has its merits. It could have been more refined, particularly regarding character development and inventory management, but I still enjoyed my time with it.

As a long-time fan of the Borderlands franchise, I was excited when the movie was announced. However, I was disappointed to learn that it features a brand new storyline that isn't canon. Given the incredible lore, characters, and world already established in the games, it feels like a missed opportunity to create something truly special. The decision to mix up character personalities and diverge from the original narrative was puzzling and, frankly, frustrating. While the movie might entertain those unfamiliar with the games, fans will likely find it disappointing.

I miss Filoni. This series, so far, is nowhere near what Star Wars has become. Everything from the choice of dialogue to the filming. When my girlfriend asked me what I thought after watching, I said “You can use Star Wars phrases in and call things by Star Wars names, but it doesn’t make it a Star Wars film. I had high hopes for this series, but unfortunately it missed the mark. Cons: Bad acting Terrible writing No sense of the Star Wars world and it’s connection Repeat story of the Rey saga Too many cliche moments to count

Bethesda is one of my favorite Game developers and if I’m being honest, I was a little bummed when Starfield was announced. However, now that I’ve been playing Starfield before launch and I’m at NG10, they did not disappoint. If you’ve played any of Bethesda titles, you’ll appreciate and quickly fall in love with this one. The story is deep with twist of physiological and theological themes that make decision making difficult and a blast. Knowing that each decision will have consequences. For those of you reading this and thinking to yourself that im full of it, im not ignoring the fact there are bugs and glitches. But if you understand even just a little bit about gaming, Bethesda always create massive worlds and that takes a lot of mechanics to run and operate. It’s impossible to come out with something this massive without things not functioning correctly. Im just happy that there hasn’t been a single bug or glitch that has made the game unplayable. There has always been a work around or a simple reload. This game has been fantastic to play and I look forward to future content and it will be added to my collection of Bethesda games to continue to play.
