    Spoiler Well, I guess he could have another appearance as a „dead“ Jedi who drops by to say hi - like Yoda - but technically Luke is not amongst the living anymore. At least that‘s how I interpret his body disappearing into thin air (like old Obiwan).

  • Star Wars

    Quite enjoyed it! It had one big WTF moment for me though:

    Spoiler Why kill off Luke after the plot twist about the jedi mind trick he played on Kylo Ren? Just so he didn't die a painful death at the hands of the Sith? Felt strange to me.

    Yeah agreed on Blizzard/Activision - pretty pot kettle stuff there. The loot box stuff in Overwatch isn't great and It's why I never bought it. It's the same old story though, developers dicking over good talented teams with dumb ideas.

    No offense mate, but I think throwing loot boxes that contain skins (Overwatch) and loot boxes that contain characters, abilities among other things (SW:BF2) into the same pot is an extremist view and not really constructive. There are big differences between the systems and the differences in the public's reaction to them is proving that.

    EDIT: Just saw this thread by another designer that explains in more detail what I am alluding to:

  • Star Citizen

    Yesterday we offered a first look at the procedural cities we are building on top of some the planets. It is basically handcrafted gameplay spaces + surroundings built with a new editor that allows you to quickly plot down streets, high buildings, industrial buildings, trenches etc. + object scattering. There is a quick look at the city editor plus procedural layouts for e.g. space stations during the QT travel in the middle if you are interested in the tech. I was sitting in the audience biting my nails and praying for no crashes. It has been a couple of stressful weeks but it is nice to see everything come together in the end (even though there is still work left to do) :) Gameplay starts at 11:30:

    Oh, and the one that no one was getting is "Charlie Wilson's War" starring Tom Hanks as Congressman Charlie Wilson in the 1980's. I hadn't looked at the thread in a while, got it on the first pic. :(

    But...I got it?! Anyway, Scream is correct. Your turn.
