Good movie, lots of plot points they start but don't finish IMO. Also some things that go unexplained by the end of the movie. I'd say it's worth a rental or opening your sails...

I realize now you are not the person who originally commented on my top level comment, so my reference to my original point was moot. Have a great day!

The game played like a beta on underpowered consoles, but the PS5 versions were complete and were able to be finished with no DLC needed. They did the work, turned it around, and the game runs and plays fantastic now 5 years after launch. On top of that they did it in less than 3 years.

Not understanding how it doesn't qualify under my original statement.

Huh, I... Acquired Jedi Survivor so all connectivity shoving monetization must not have worked. I haven't played the 2nd one, but at least in the first one I didn't remember there being DLC packs and whatnot.

Also to be completely honest I haven't played Persona, so if there is DLC in it I am mistaken.

Mostly agree, but WoW wouldn't qualify for the no monetization part.

I disagree. When AAA is approached with a solid ending, no monetization beyond a full expansion for less than retail, and good story, I can enjoy them just fine.

See: God of War, Death Stranding, Horizon (not the racing), the Jedi: Survivor series, Persona, Dead Space, Cyberpunk, etc.

AAA can be done right.

Ah my bad, I'll correct it.

I was coming in here to say this: every MGS since they added the stamina bar I have beat non violently, including all the bosses. Even in the MGS 1 remake Twin Snakes for GameCube, no kills.

In MGS 5 they have a whole set of non lethal shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles. I think it's super fun, and makes you come up with creative ways to knock out armored enemies.
