Every single thing your were excited about (Rey meeting Luke) or curious about (Snoke's backstory) in the Force Awakens gets literally tossed out like Luke throwing away his lightsaber. <div><br></div><div>People are gonna argue "Oh it was surprising" but my question is, "did these directoral choices <u>payoff</u>?" </div><div><br></div><div>The answer is a resounding NO.

39503	Shenmue I and II getting enhanced ports	So happy for this. I played the first Shenmue ages ago on an emulator, but my laptop died shortly after and I never got around to reinstalling everything again. I'm not a big fan of quick time events, but I loved the open world exploration.	jkatz	Apr 14, 2018
