Just give us Andromeda's continuation in the series.

Fuck the trilogy's TV adaptation. The games exist.

Just needs commercials: “I’m commander shepherd and this is my favorite site on the internet”

On one hand, Fallout. On the other hand, Rings of Power.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if they hired decent writers.

Don’t forget about wheel of time

But I want to forget.

As for canon, I think Rings of Power is actually an optimistic view. I mean, if it's terrible, nobody will count it as canon.

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.

Or more accurately, ME: Andromeda.

What's that? Some kind of fan fiction?

You know, ME: Andromeda wasn't as bad as it was made out to be... Which is not saying much.

But there are some interesting bits with some of the characters like SAM, and for all the pre-hotfix memes, the visuals and movement animations are really freaking good. So is the combat.

If you're talking about Avatar, no, it never had a movie adaptation.

For 30-40 years old gamers, Max Payne...

Mako goes inverted.

Fallout did an amazing job. It was something new that new folks and old fans could both enjoy.

I'll go against the grain and say I dislike TLoU series because not that it was done well, but because it just copies the games. Just like movies based on books, this puts an entire group of people off of playing the game. Why play it and experience one of the best games ever made when you could just watch it?

Fallout did a great job because it people liked the universe then you could also go play the games! Inviting more people to gaming. In Mass Effect there are so many untold stories, why couldn't they do one of those instead?
