An aquaman trailer just dropped, and I have no idea in what universe it takes place. And there are at least 3 options now.

@LukeAlmighty I hate multiverse garbage. It’s like the creators have no imagination to explore this current world, so they want to remake something in a sort of deja vu scenario. The new Starfield video game does this…you have a whole universe (lol) to explore, but the stupid Marvel-obsessed nihilist writers just made it a multiverse story where you repeat your actions, basically.

@RehnSturm256
Oh... Should I check the cringe? I just saw the ending, where you can become one true rick.

But seriously, at this point, I don't care about the game, since the devs themselves cannot decide if they even want to do FPS, RPG, city builder or a flight sim.

@LukeAlmighty that’s what I got from the stream I saw the point is, nothing matters with multiverse theory because everything still exists “somewhere” so there’s no stakes.

if you want to talk about movies, though, I recently saw the Flash movie, and maybe to some people they like experiencing “the same story, but a little different “ and with fan service, but I see it as a lack of imagination.

It never feels like there is any GROWTH to a world, it is just a remake or rerun in someone else’s vision (which describes comic books and their movies, but now it’s basically an acknowledged meta distinction by the creators)

@LukeAlmighty oh uh sorry for the spoiler, I figured it’s safe to spoil a dumb story from a disappointing game that I could be wrong, too. So don’t listen to it. Hah ha…

@RehnSturm256
You cannot spoil a game I have 0 interest in

@RehnSturm256
So, now I saw an explanation for the story....

And, there was literally nothing new I learned, since the ending + first artefact was all I needed to expect this exact shit anyway.

@RehnSturm256
BTW, you are canonically the most boring person in all of multiverse fiction.

Immagine. You get the ability to travel the multiverse, and you use it it return back in time 1 week earlier to slightly altered universe.... And then do it again and again....

You are canonically Groundhog daying yourself.

@RehnSturm256
And no, I am not joking or taking game mechanics too literally.

You have the knowledge of previous universes, because it grants you dialogue options, and there are even random universe variables, that are there specifically to show, that you are in fact the same person in a different reality.

@LukeAlmighty see!? I hate that stuff. You can explore the friggin universe…and they instead have you playing deja vu in the same boring handful of planets occupied by ugly people. It’s lazy and terrible! All the lives you affected mean nothing because it’s all reset. The game doesn’t even let you eliminate most quest npcs, so it really feels like you’re trapped in a purgatory.

BTW, this is actually the thing that made me fall in love with Skyrim.

I had an extreme dificulty mod installed, so there was no chance of fighting a dragon in 2nd story mission.

So..... If you don't do story missions, there are several reactions.

1) The world doesn't mention you as the "dragonborn". You are just a gigachad.

2) You cannot do main story, so you have to do sidequests instead. That leads to EXTREME IMMERSION. Especially, when you cannot fight anywhing stronger then a guard.

3) I realized, that the game literally is split between a true RPG, and a GOD power fantasy. And most people have never seen the first half.
