I don't think Souls games are redundant, they have very good one-on-one combat where there is always a chance you can die. I was mostly referring to games like Diablo 3, where you are just clicking endlessly looking for loot, and that is the bulk of the game. Even that game can be more challenging in harder levels, but a lot of new MMOs are guilty of this. A lot of the game is locked away until you reach level cap. I love Diablo 3 however, so thus my defense of redundancy in certain aspects. this is a weird subject matter. 

Ahh, so you play for Prestige. I don't mind a dumb hack-n-slash or button mashy game here and there, but not overwhelmingly everywhere.

Yes. You can play for Prestige (beating your best score) or just to kill time. I'm just saying is that mundanity is everywhere, and I don't like it.

I should have been more specific.By redundancy I mean there is no point to gameplay aside from keeping you playing without 'meaningful rewards'. You aren't necessarily becoming stronger or learning strategies like in a MOBA or a hard raid in an MMO or a fighting game. It's just there to keep you from finishing something for as long as possible--unnessary basically. 

I would imagine that that is the full price for new players, or maybe the cost of the Collectors Edition. Interesting. 

I dont mind nostalgia. I was referring to the overwhelming number of Indie games that use the same formula. It gets tired after a while. 

$60? Seriously? This isn't some game changing expansion? It's just adding a new realm and some new mounts, possibly a few more classes or jobs, but $60 is a bit excessive. I know Star Wars just put out an expansion, as did WoW  and LOTRO charges a lot as well, so I guess it's just a sign of changes? 

Yes. I'd love to play Guild Wars 2. Is there a particular class or race that would compliment your character?

Divinity Original Sin is still and Indie game and a damned great one. I think these types of Indie games deserve more recognition and praise as opposed to whatever 2D thing is nowadays. Indie just needs to evolve already.

I also love MMOs and was sort of defending the grindiness of them which I find relaxing. 
 

That's a lot of regrets. A lot of these games are really great and they will still be great no matter when you play them next year or the year after. 

As a comic fan, I wasn't familiar with Guardians either. I've never really looked deeper under the surface in comics except for the more popular DC, Marvel and some Vertigo titles. I think Guardians was a sort of experiment for Marvel Studios. They wanted to see if they would be able to make hit movies from obscure licenses so they can sustain a studio without Spiderman, Fantastic Four and the X-Men, which they don't own the film licenses to. I think they succeeded. I'm sure we'll see more obscure comic movies after their initial phases or whatever comes after Avengers. Inhumans for example are supposed to be stand-ins for XMEN. Are you familiar with them?

The film was really fun. I don't think I heard anyone complain? I mean my family and friends that aren't into scifi or comics loved the film. Wierd?
