Why they made this fps, nobody knows

There's not even an article behind that, the tweet goes to the same donkey's substack in which he proclaims "a retail insider" has said this before asking for money to continue reading the article.

Buying a skin like that as a male would make you gay because you're not wearing it for yourself but for the pleasure of your teammates and opponents that will sneak up behind you and knife you and frick you. Deep down that's what you want. You're gay.

It was probably one of the worst films I ever saw tbh.

It's remarkable because Spielberg is an incredible filmmaker, like on the level of craft alone he is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. Even if I think his recent movies blow, I can still look at them and say "this is very well made." But Crystal Skull actually just seems to misunderstand what people liked about Indians Jones completely. It's a baffling movie.

I hate commies as much as the next guy but you can't just replace Nazis with them in an Indiana Jones movie. They might have been just as bad but the circumstances of how Americans interacted with them was much different. In my grandparents' generation they went off on exotic adventures around the world and killed krauts and japs and it was pretty simple. You get into the Cold War and it's much more complex and closer to me and not as fun.
And the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail have a certain gravitas that the goddarn crystal skull hoax just does not have, even with flying saucers. Especially in Raiders of the Lost Ark it's very good at telling you throughout the movie that this is a power beyond our comprehension. I don't want to know if it's Yahweh as seen by ancient Jews or aliens as seen by ancient Jews or what, that's one of those things that your never reveal because it will never live up to the audience's expectations.

Aliens don't work to replace ancient artifacts. Scoffing at the concept of the crystal skull makes no sense for what Indy has seen.
More importantly, thinking the Russians are crazy for what they're looking into makes no sense when the US was doing the exact same thing, with remote reading and all sorts of Men Who Stare At Goats stuff.

I think George was mostly in charge of that one and Spielberg tried and failed to stop him from ruining it.

Boring and pointless movie but i actually enjoyed Harrison Ford's performance. Really embraced the aged old man thing in a much more heartfelt way than I would have expected, especially considering how he sleepwalked through The Force Awakens lol.
The director of that film, James Mangold, is actually pretty talented too but there was no passion or energy at all behind the movie.

Shit opinion
Dial is a tier below even crystal skull

Yeah it is worse than Crystal Skull for sure I just surprisingly enjoyed Ford's performance. But that's nowhere near enough to even slightly redeem it. At least Crystal Skull had Spielberg's flair and energy.

It's not a bad show. They had it on around 1pm every weekday here and when I was a kid I'd watch it in the summer when I was off school.

But seriously, is the intent of modern game creators to beat every last ounce of content out of defunct IPs?

Oh totally. The people who grew up with them are in their 40 50 or even 60s now so cash out on their nostalgia and hopefully rope a new audience cause if not it'll be a completely dried up IP in 10-15 years.

I mean, no IP is truly dead but there are things that are in good taste and there are money grabs and everything since Last Crusade was a money grab.
Anyway pretty soon they won't even need Ford for the movie, as it can all be generated on a bunch of GPUs
I just miss the days of movies that don't fricking suck

Thing is, Indiana Jones is a great franchise for games, Emperor's Tomb is absolute kino. The problem they have is that Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny pooped the bed so bad they can't get the stink off the franchise, and any Lucasfilm-based game not made by LucasArts is a real coin toss on whether or not it will suck balls

I could believe it. Gamepass is an example of Microsoft being both bold and hilariously shortsighted. Pivoting to a focus on being "the Netflix of video games" when releasing boxes to compete with Playstation wasn't really working for them anymore deserves props but it's a little unbelievable that nobody at Microsoft foresaw that going so hard on Gamepass, including pushing day 1 releases on there, would condition Xbots into not purchasing games anymore. Now some developers won't bother porting to Xbox unless Microsoft cuts them a large enough check to cover the porting costs.
