This is where this game stands above most other games. The story is full of a simple premise, but filled with a history that pulls you in. I am one of the few people that think that the modern day is just as important as the historical period in the game and that is fine.
Over the course of three games, the gameplay just kept getting better. For the last one, it is very good. The movement is so much better. The aiming system is fair improved than any previous one and that makes the weapons more fun to play with. The movement has more options, but it's clunky.
I thought the show was incredible, with a gripping mystery, rich character arcs, and a fantastic cast. Rebecca Ferguson was outstanding, and Steve Zahn delivered an underappreciated, award-worthy performance. My wife and I were completely invested, and it was well worth the time.
It doesn't start well. I cannot imagine the amount of handcuffs they had on the creation of this show, and you can see it as they work through how to handle it. The actual event themselves is terrible in my opinion, but how they iterate through it really is one of my favorite parts of the show.
I remember reading this book the first time and just being pulled into the additional story of Bean vs. Achilles. Also, the idea of "What comes next" is much more prevalent in this book. You have a significant stream of thoughts about what happens after the war. Who will the kids belong to.
For context, the German experiences described in Operation Paperclip, were things that allowed the world to have air and space travel. I know that the experiments by the Japanese gave us a lot of Information about frostbite, but it is only alluded to and passively dropped rather than explained.
This is where Sucker Punch excels. Their sound design for the weapons, the attacks, the music, the sound of the wind. Outstanding. I want to take a second to talk about the music and the Shamisen. Listening to it and how it is displayed in the game is very well done.
He does a great job of explaining the events that are happening, and what the hurdles he faced were. I can only imagine trying to deal with the cops from dozens if not hundreds of different precincts. The hoops to jump through, and the temperaments must have made it more than a headache.
This tells a very good story. A very classic story about greed, actions and consequences. It really provides you with a good understanding of those that leave active service. That confusion, loss, lack of funds, and then attempting to find something that would set things right.
it is a good way to show the post-war actions and how they affected people. I think that might be the better bit of deep lore here is how the morals of those in charge/owned things, played such a large part of where bases were built after WWII. Unrelated to the movie, but still sits there.
This movie both really good and terrible. From a highly predictable plot points and pacing, to great chemistry from Scarlett Johansson. She is probably the best part of this movie and the rest of the cast for the most part just along for the ride.
There is a lot of this campy, slap stick comedy to it. The thing that really highlights that issue is near the end when Bond returns to his hotel and is walking around the inside of the lobby on the walls while the people looking for him are on the inside.
