Halo (2022)
Halo is a first person shooter not third person talker.
I do not follow the games closely. I played a few of them so I am not stuck in the lore and already made story of halo. I enjoy a lot of the first season but not all. There are added side stores that are not needed. Over all I give the first season a 7 out of 10. The biggest draw back is the whole qwan story which they wrapped up at the end of the first season and had the freedom to move on. They didnt. Second season that I have watched so far is just junk. They start out ok but that quickly goes away for some boring talk fest and they bring back qwan for no reason. So the second season so far gets a big 3. If this is the way they are headed then I won't be watching.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves (2023)
Wow is this boring
The overall story is ok. I'm very interested in it but the way it is told in this is boring. I like westerns. A good hard story is great. This is not that. This is mostly filler. Could have reduced it to a made for tv movie with a run time around 1.5 hrs total. Very disappointing to me.
The acting seems to be on par. I can't blame the actors for a boring plot with what should have been a lot better.
How do you write a long review on a show that most of it is filler without spoilers? You don't really. You have to add filler also.
Takeaways: Could have been really good. Turned out to be very boring. Like the idea of the story just swung and missed.
Starfield (2023)
Take aways: boring and load screen
Starfield is a typical Bethesda game which is fine for 10+ years ago. I wanted to like it... I still want to like it but I can't. I can't entirely place my finger on all the issues. I can tell you several of them. The world is large and empty... really empty. Like I know you were "trying for boring" so we could experience what space is like. Well... let me say it is a video game! It isn't real life. It isn't supposed to be. May be try for quality over quantity in the next game.
The game starts slow. I would love to say it gets better but for the most part it doesn't. When you finally get to the part that starts explaining everything, the game is pretty much over. Not to forget to mention (at least for me) that the game got super buggy. Like crash on load screens (and there are way to many of those) and frame rate issues. Oh my ship didn't render properly for half the game so every cut scene showed me floating through space or hovering down to the planet. Once again many many many many many load screens. (I under exaggerate.) Like I play the game while doing other thing there are so many load screens.
When it does come down to the action, it is ok as a first person shooter aside from the AI ammo passing through solid objects and I really like the dogfighting but good luck trying to dogfight on the regular. As a RPG I didn't feel it. I just kept getting the feeling that I'm not improving my character as much as I am being less punished if I can just get the next level and then the next level comes and you are still bored.
Like seriously who played the game to be a space pirate. That was sure on my list of things to do and then came the bounties. Steal a ship worth 14k (3k after registration... why yes I'm sorry let me register my my pirate ship) and then 45k in bounties for stealing it. Aww I see Bethesda make sure you drain all the fun out of it.
Then there is their morality standards... not sure what they are since I accrued fines for nothing multiple times through the game. Bounty system broken. Sneak system... is there a real one? Morality harping from story line character. (Hint Bethesda this is a role playing game. I play with different morality laws based on my role and you pulled me right out of role playing with your game.)
Don't get me wrong I put hours into the game with hopes that I would like it more but every time I started to think it was getting better the game just stopped me and was like 'NO'.
If you are a hardcore Bethesda fan then play the game. You might like it. If you didn't care for their previous work, run cause this is one of their worst so far considering how far technology and gaming have come. I played the game on game pass. I bought it for a month. I am glad I didn't buy the game. Don't. It is worth 1 month of game pass. Play it. Push through it if you can and drop it and forget about it like so many other are doing.
Oh Bethesda how far you have fallen or is it your Microsoft overlords? We may never know now.
Far Cry New Dawn (2019)
Another farcry fail
If you enjoy the farcry franchise then just stop reading. I have very little good to say about it.
This is a first person shooter rpg explorer. It is an expansion off of farcry 5.
Graphically the game is good(enough). The shooting is fine most of the time (when you watch your bullets pass through the enemy then it tends to lose its credibility). The driving is bad and don't get me started on the autodrive. The overall game play is annoying lackluster garbage. The plots on these are just junk.
So to be fair the overall mechanics of the game I am not too upset with. They have their moments when it is glitchy. All games do. Farcry just a little more than most. The plot and game play are just awful. Ubisoft needs to find good writers and needs to improve their overall formula. This series could be good... but it really isn't.
If you just like wasting time then this is an ok game to play. If you are looking for something good... then walk away. Don't play. You will be the real winner.
Teen Wolf (2011)
Started ok almost not watchable by the end
To start, the first 3 season were semi entertaining. I would actually go as far as to say they are at least a 7. The last 3 seasons are... something. Soo bad I would give it no more than a 1. That is how I came to the conclusion that the overall show gets a 4.
The first 3 deserve some credit although they are still cringe worthy. The last 3 are so scattered and the plots are almost none existent. They are filled with boring relationship drama and dialog.
It is a show about teenagers and supernatural creatures. The teenagers practically run the town with anything that involves the supernatural. Even when adults do get involved they are some how more stupid/worthless than the teenages.
The best character is hands down Stiles. Makes the show. Would never have watched it without him in it.
Overall worth a view at least the first 3 seasons.
Spiderhead (2022)
Interesting concept... failure to perform
I thought the concept was interesting. Just failed to make a meaningful plot. The acting was okay.
You really have to suspend reality to watch some of these movies. Like a prison with no oversight. A prison basically run by 2 people. Drug systems with little to no safeguards. Just takes it to the point that I can't like the movie.
