Galavant is so good!!! I wish there was more of it.

Dude, you are way too focused on who did the thing (or rather, how much money they had) than what actually happened. You're missing the forest for the trees.

Makes sense. Cause it would have been perfectly OK if he carved his name into, say, something at Disney World, or a stranger's house, since those are newer structures...

Tell me you understand nothing about US politics without telling me me you understand nothing about US politics.

That's hilarious, and about on par with most of the writing on so-called journalism sites these days. Glorious!

Yep. My family were lifelong subscribers to National Geographic Magazine, and I grew up reading it. And I remember distinctly the change in quality when Fox bought it. The first magazine that was put out under the new management was all about the "facts" of the "real" Jesus, and would have been fit for a History Channel special. It was such a disappointment to see something I loved so much turn into a trash rag.

Thanks! I will check it out!

Wow! That is fascinating and the videos/screens are gorgeous! Thanks for letting me know about it, I will definitely check it out.

I'm willing to give it another try. Worst case it's a few hours spent enjoying colorful images before getting bored.

I can appreciate that.

I enjoyed it for what it was. I just saw so much more potential in it, and was heartbroken that it didn't go in that direction.

Those aren't the only 2 choices though. Ideally we'd get something like modern visuals on top of the game design of 15-20 years ago. Remember when you could host your own server and play with dozens of people? Remember college LAN parties of Wolfenstein with 60+ players? That's what this could have been. We need TF2 in space, but we got Overwatch.

Squadron's ugly flaw (aside from the bad latency caused by US-only servers) was that they copied the current trend in pvp games where it's a 5v5 battle and everything has to be "balanced." It was like playing crappy football with Star Wars ships. The objectives were pathetic and matchmaking was so bad that the games were almost always a pathetic wipe because one side was a team of 5 near-pro level gamers vs 5 solo newbies.

Still, it was gorgeous. And in VR it was chef's kiss

With some patching it could live up to its potential, but as it is it's sadly a dream that never came true.
