General Off Topic / Re: Netflix to Produce The Witcher TV Series

Two episodes in, it's not bad. Geralt fight scene in episode 1 was really good, even.

But it *is* a bit low quality, feels like a B-class TV show a lot of the time. Bad (and overused) CGI, oftentimes bad/weird dialogue (that battle scene was hilarious, "we're losing", "oh yea btw I forgot to tell you before the battle began, our reinforcements aren't coming"), sometimes shit costume design (nilfgaard armor lmao), overall just a "cheap" feel that comes from pacing and camera angles and cuts etc. -- a very clear difference compared to "triple A" shows.

We'll see how it gets later on, but so far it's a bit better than I expected, and not as good as I hoped.

Another absolutely awful episode that, once again, does nothing to advance the plot in any way.

Imagine, if you will, being a wanna-be bountyhunter. You don't care about the money at the moment, you just want to become a Guild member.

What do you choose?

Option A) Deliver this handcuffed and captured target you originally wanted, to become a full member of the Guild.
Option B) Try to backstab a superarmored legendary Mandalorian, whose help you needed to capture the original target because you were scared, to become a full member of the Guild.

Hmm yes, let's choose option B, seems very smart and likely to work.

What a weak-ass villain and weak-ass story once again. And no plot whatsoever. Is the entire show just supposed to be about flying to different planets and then someone trying to capture the hehecutexdbabyyoda in ever dumber ways?

Shows like these don't even pretend to have intelligent characters that have an inner life, just caricatures that unthinkingly and nonsensically drive the plot forward to the inevitable ending, i.e., the Mandalorian saving baby yoda.

The Walker scenes were fucking pants-on-fire retarded. Absolutely nothing cool about it at all. It made no sense whatsoever. Red eyes? Really? How subtle. And this mega-weapon of destruction managed to kill a grand total of 0 people, while firing at a bunch of people twenty meters from it, people who were hiding behind.... a couple of wooden sticks. Just awful.

Don't forget the Mandalorian brooding at someone menacingly, then getting himself thrown around like a ragdoll by first random opponent.
It's ok if the opponent is a strong and independent warrior woman.

What will happen next, and every episode: Mandalorian with a heart of gold will struggle for a bit with his morality, but in the end do the right thing. Cute baby yoda will look at the Mandalorian cutely. Everyone will miss the Mandalorian from two feet. Mandalorian saves cute baby yoda once again, and they fly off to another identical episode.

Started out alright, now it's getting really bad and boring. Awful action scenes that make no sense with the usual Stormtrooper-tier accuracy, and really cliché, predictable, Disney-tier storylines, etc.

High damage is usually in favor of 1vX being possible. Low TTK means that you can't take anyone out quickly, so you get ganged up on.

But if damage is high, there needs to be high mobility and/or skillful ways to avoid it, and ways to disengage after bursting.

What's the combat like? What about PvP? Skill ceiling? Does individual skill matter a lot? Can you 1vX, realistically, against competent people if you're really good? Does PvP just consist of massive zergs or is it possible to skirmish as well?
