More predatory and stuck with their same graphics engine as their PS3 titles. Their reasoning? It's more profitable to upscale a PS3 game for PS5/Xbox, and downscale a PS3 game for Switch than to invest money into a game engine that only runs on 2/3 main consoles. Oh yeah, and they've kept the mechanic where you can't use the same cards and need to get new ones throughout the year. As in, the way that sports games make money each year (players reacquiring new cards) is now implemented several times during the year, with it only being semi-mitigated through repeated grinding. It's a PS3 game that used to have the sole appeal off not being predatory. But now it's literally just a predatory PS3 game being sold as a full priced, next gen title with egregious monetization. lol

Across the Debuff takes a bit getting used to. I wouldn't compare it to Darkest Dungeon other than the fact you have a party. It's far more in-line with a Slay The Spire in gameplay and feel. GAMES/TURNS ARE VERY LONG A single run of Across The Obelisk takes well over an hour, and I usually take a break during the run. Think of Slay The Spire, but you have 4 people to control in a turn, versus up to 4 enemies....And then instead of each enemy playing only 1 card each turn, they end up each playing like 3-4 cards. You're literally going from 4 enemy moves to up to 16. This adds up with animations and even on 'fast mode' runs can take hours with 'great' wins. It seems strange that the game would be this long because of how much focus there is on 'losing and then doing better the next run'. (You unlock a LOT of cards, pets, and perk points that you can spec into to get permanent bonuses) If you are patient with it, and take the time to learn all the debuffs, and accept that you'll never play another game as good as Slay The Spire, you'll have a lot of fun with this game. Just don't get blown away by the fact there's like 60 different status effects. lol Some debuffs are just completely worthless to use, which you'll ironically 'see', but other than that the game really is a case of the devs just dumping all of their ideas and passion into an incredibly thought out game. The graphics remind me of that old browser game Adventure Quest, too. lol Anyway, yeah. I know I said a lot of things that seem bad about it, but it's still an amazing game. TLDR: •Not much like Darkest Dungeon other than party config/size •If you like Slay the Spire, you'll like this. •Just because you like Slay the Spire, don't expect this game to be like Slay the Spire •Each run is extremely long (once you get to the later acts) •Very clear passion project; the amount of work/thought ideas that went into the game would be absent in a game that would be abandoned •The game has a giant focus on trial and error, with each run being better than the last. •Has its flaws and quirks, but it's still a 4.5/5 •Really wish it was on mobile, too

Parts that were good were really good, and the parts that were bad were blatant. To just summarize it, it honestly seemed like some weird fanfic in terms of the Dragonball Universe. Also, the CG is odd. All of the physical fighting had the speed of like, Goku vs Raditz because of the limitations of the CG. The visuals of special attacks and explosions all look amazing, but the intensity of the fights is completely lost with CG. Dragon Ball peaked with the Broly movie. It's a fun movie, but the direction they're heading in with cheaper CG/3D sets a dangerous precedent.

Game went full MTX mode: •Inning bosses - Gone •Topps Now - Gone •New type of pack with high rewards is obtained by pulling said pack from a 'Show Pack'. You literally have to have good luck twice, because the pack you pull from the regular pack doesn't guarantee the featured card. •Monthly awards (current is 'face of the franchise') are now from packs, rather than actual card rewards, and those packs are random between a set of 5 players, and you're limited to only one of those cards. So it's now random, and the rest you have to buy. •Create a player now doesn't progress from anything outside of RTTS, so you will either have to grind really hard, or buy equipment and perks (speaking of perks, P2W perks like 'Clear for takeoff' are now useable online with your create a player). You cannot progress your archetype (which is now even more restrictive) by playing DD modes with your create a player. NO UNIVERSAL DH (SDS is likely actively figuring out how to heavily monetize that for next year due to the fact that a DH will result in bench players and relief pitchers having less value) MLB The Show used to be the most rewarding sports game with very fulfilling gameplay and rewards. Because Xbox and Switch have never had sports games that were as accommodating, they're used to the toxic models from their respective sports titles. Bringing Xbox and now Switch into the market when those two markets are used to much more greedy games, allows for SDS to shift into a greedy model, while still appearing 'better' than games like Fifa and NBA. I called that this was going to happen 3 years ago, but it was even more evident when they started adding retro jerseys as loot pollution. All big changes start with small ones.

Hardly scientific anymore, and contains sensationalized, and dramatized pieces in order to generate as much revenue as possible. One issue is that we already know everything we know about sharks, and the rate at Shark Week occurs far outpaces the rate that we can learn more about them. So instead of making another documentary about how sharks migrate from x to y, or that they attack out of mistaken identity, they create fluff pieces and fake drama. There's one clip where they have an acrylic cage and the cage miraculously can't close so "they're in so much danger"; this was intentional, and we already know that sharks will not attack for no reason at all. It's all sensationalized garbage like everything else on TV is now.

On a PS4 pro in a room with a temperature of 67 degrees, the game will crash and stutter with an incredibly unstable FPS. The game isn't optimized for the current generation of consoles, and when I decided I'd purchase the game again on my PC, I find out that it's an Epic Games Store exclusive. Sorry, but the analogy of 99% of a grape is still significantly less than 10% of a watermelon still applies when it comes to EGS and Steam.

What a surprise: The film school failures and elitists judge a 'fun' movie seriously. It's pretty pathetic when a very small percentile target audience is always the one with the power to dictate what's good for the majority. If you're looking for raw action, and incredible CG monster fights, this movie is king. It's incredibly predictable, cheesy, and you'll have absolutely zero connection with any of the human characters...but like I said, it's a 'fun' movie that's meant to entertain with action and monsters. Ask yourself if the movie First Blood is good, and also ask what makes it good despite being so hollow. Whatever answer you'll get will be the exact same answer as to why Godzilla: King of the Monsters is amazing.
