The worst season of The Wire is better than the best of The Sopranos.
Na, only good thing bout the wire was that red cap life son. Its cool you don't know. All that cop shit was wack.
You could say the same about Destiny and Destiny 2, especially at launch. Anthem suffers from many of the same problems haha. Almost everything Destiny did wrong was done better elsewhere, it was like they didn't look at any other loot games as an example of how to make a good one. Not saying Anthem is any better in this regard, but I also don't agree that Destiny is a good example to look at lol

Where were things done better than Destiny? Genuinely curious because it has hands down the best gameplay and shooting in any loot shooter.
I find the movement (flying feels really good except for the aggressive overheating) and abilities far more fun/interesting in Anthem. On Destiny everything has a long cooldown (at least when I played, I only played both games at launch for a few months though, no expansions) so most of the time you are just shooting. In Anthem I am using abilities all the time and most of them feel really good to use (at least everything besides Ranger, haven't played that javelin much). The combo system makes it interesting too, finding the right combination of abilities to use (Whether you are solo or playing with friends/randoms).
The shooting in Destiny is unquestionably better though, I 100% agree on that!
I'll be more bummed if they don't get the collector's edition skins, the Liara outfit is great
Yeah, Destiny seems extremely boring to me after playing Anthem. Abilities and movement are so much more fun in Anthem.

They did decrease cooldown time from launch (of D2), but it still primarily a gun game. Guess it depends what you are looking for. But I find double jumping and headshotting someone with a throwing knife - only for their head to burst into a poof of smoke unquestionably more fun than anything I experienced in anthem.
Watching Alex run around The Normandy.... Remember when they added an unskippable full body scan thing on the ship in ME3 that you have to go through everytime you port back to the ship to hide a load screen on consoles but they still left it there on the PC version?
Good times.
Good times.
Yea I agree, definitely different in terms of how they play! PVP in anthem would not be fun at all haha
Honestly the game would probably be better if that were the case
Wow, looking at the new games this week it really is just Anthem and Steins;Gate Elite, unless people are super excited for Farm Together. Otherwise not too eventful this week unless you're really excited for Anthem.
Also can I just say I've been bothered that Giant Bomb hasn't fixed the new games problem where the first games listed are games released 2 week prior. Maybe it intentional that they haven't fixed it, but I never understood why I have to scroll a page down to find out what's releasing this week.

I wish I could scroll through all the months. Not just till March 9th or whatever.
I realize that all of the calendar is not fully filled out, but even something like knowing when Division 2 or Sekiro or Days Gone come out would be useful to me. (Games with release dates already)
Linear Bounded Phenogram is the more important new Steins;Gate release this week anyway
Still enjoying Anthem quite a bit despite it's complete bullshit in every area except the flying/combat/abilities
Is there even enough to Crackdown to tear it apart? I can see it being more apathy/indifference than really digging in.
Hey, unlike Brad with Destiny, at least I acknowledge its shortcomings
i've waffled on this over the years and i think i agree. The Wire has a really impressive construction of characters to illustrate the futility of public institutions, but it's bookended by seasons that don't match the heights of the middle three. season 5 is particularly flimsy in comparison and it's disappointing that it kinda doesn't stick the landing. The Sopranos has some points where it falters, but there's never any specific element that the stakes of the show are hinged to the way The Wire was to say, McNulty's antics in season 5, so it never gets stuck in a rut for too long.
it also doesn't help that the real world in the years following the end of The Wire has done a more than adequate job illustrating how fucked up and dysfunctional the institutions highlighted in the show are every day. it's like David Simon is ghostwriting The Matrix :/
Wire's great, sure. But the Sopranos is beyond any other TV out there. A true master class on all levels
They're waiting for the Shenmue 2 ER so people are up to date with the story.
my Night In The Woods vinyl soundtrack is out for delivery, can't wait
also bought the Gregg Rulz OK shirt yesterday

The Sopranos is great, but nothing touches The Wire.
David Simon can do no wrong.
At least the debate is Sopranos and not Breaking Bad... such an overrated show.

ASG was fun and it should be interesting to hear their thoughts as they wrap up.
Also i'm 1000% on-board for them to watch that fucking godawful movie.

I think one of the biggest failures of Anthem is in the enemy designs
Destiny's factions got old after a bit, but at least they felt pretty distinct and had different strategies.
Most of the enemies I have fought so far in anthem have been fairly mindless
