The special efx haven’t gotten more expensive, cameras haven’t risen in price, writers don’t seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney.

So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?

    edit2: I hate HATE HATE game of thrones with a passion, I gave it a shot twice! (2x) What’s worse is the entirety of society gaslighting you into it not being an awful show.

    Admit got is no-where near as good a time as x-files. I just watched a humanoid leech escaping through a system of sewers. I witnessed alien abductions. Intrigue within the fbi. Secret allies, even more secret conspirators and classified government units on even more classified government missions.

    got is like a bad off brand xenia warrior princess…

      It has nothing in common with Xena other than being in the fantasy genre.

      You may not like GOT, but that doesn’t make it awful.

      Things like good an awful are subjective, so yeah. Sometimes I feel like a lot of people insist something is good based on their own connection to the media, but nothing is really objectively good or bad.

      People warned me against playing Final Fantasy 15, the critics trashed it, yet it’s one of my favorite games in the franchise.

          There are 16 actually, and that’s only including the mainline games.

          Each game is standalone, but shares certain attributes. Think similar to the Legend of Zelda series.

          For me, 15 was just a great escape. I often call it my “bro roadtrip simulator” because it’s a lot of driving around an open world and getting to know the characters.

          The last segment was rushed in development, and it shows, but for me it works because by the time I enter that segment, it’s because I’m ready to be done.

          I’ve played through it 3 times.
