  • It is so worth it. I’m not really bothered by clunky controls personally at this point as I just feel like if you are playing with controller then most AAA titles are clunky to control at this point. But I do absolutely see where you are coming from and could even see the argument that RDR2 is a bit worse in that regard than most.

    But holy hell is it worth it. I really think that it is the deepest game I have ever played. World building, story, character writing, cinematography, humor, self awareness, difficulty and fun. Its absolutely phenomenal, and I had high expectations going in.

    Please do yourself a favor and push through the control schemes. There’s so much to love there.


















  • See with Mudd it’s obvious that’s what they were trying to do, but it still is gross about how it does it along the way. The nagging wife trope being his punishment is fitting but also not the nicest portrayal of women. Again, product of the time that occasionally it feels a little weird.

    That S1 episode with the kids that die when they hit puberty? I don’t care that they’re “technically” like 150 or something, Kirk was leading on a Teenager and it felt kinda gross. No one should play by loli rules. Good episode aside from that though.

    A Piece of the Action was fun. Tomorrow is Yesterday and Balance of Terror are both good. Idk if I have a favorite episode or not. I do think Season 1 had the best writing, and it’s almost like bit by bit they traded writing quality for budget or set/costume consistency. For example: in Day of the Dove, the Klingon constumes have an intricate and very well done chainmail aspect to them that is a very cool addition. Something the early seasons cheap out on unless the weekly hot lady is wearing it. And while Day of the Dove was good, Season 3 has been a little harder to get through because we tend to watch late and this season the episodes keep putting me to sleep lol

    My wife did say later that she changed her mind and Spock is her favorite after we watched the Methuselah episode last night and Spock made Kirk forget Rayna at the end.

    We’re very excited for TAS next, we’re both into animation. We’re planning on watching it all in release order unless there’s something we should change in that?
