How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don't need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you'll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.

I started a permanent loblaws boycott this week. Won't be shopping at any of the other big names either. Preparing to participate in the boycott led me to sign up for a co op that I should've been using all along and I don't see myself ever going back. Anything they don't carry I can get at a local independent grocer and they're usually a little cheaper than no frills anyway.

Co ops are a solution to corporate greed, use them whenever possible.

Without Oldboy on the list at all, I can't take the site or the author seriously. None of those movies even come close to the horrifying revenge of Oldboy. It evokes a special kind of darkness that stays with you long after viewing.

To those in this thread who may not have seen it yet, make sure you watch the original Korean movie. The makers of the American version didn't have the balls to get the story right.

This is a 9 year old article about a guy who isn't in politics anymore. Still crazy and all, but this was in 2015.

I appreciate the reasoned response. Maybe by the end of the game the pay items don't feel limited, but they did in the first 20 hours I played before returning it.

If I was disappointed solely at the sales compared to my dislike then you're right to think its nonsense. What I'm disappointed in is a business I have loyally and regularly purchased from for over 30 years compromising their product and making it worse to try and fleece more money. I also worry deeply that the game selling well despite the flak means every major developer will find their own way to follow suit and refine the tactic until it becomes the norm.

I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

Sure if 20 hours in isn't far. I was at Battahl when I returned the game

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Didn't know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don't assume others are too.

This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.

Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.

Yeah it could probably use a cunt at the end for maximum efficacy
