For PvP centric games they absolutely get better at max level. You finally are at parity for numbers, and so skill plays a larger role.

“The game starts at max level!”

Diablo 4 fans be like

Conversely, too many good games get bad reviews because of lacking endgame. So go play the next thing in your overflowing backlog. Some games do what they came for, and that's fine.

It's like giving a bad movie review because the concession stand was closed when you left the cinema.

And each season is 20 episodes

I recently watched a video called Why Do We Play Games We Hate? I feel it applies to other media as well.

The thing that stuck out to me was that some people don't feel ready to decide whether or not they like something until they've totally completed the experience. They feel it isn't fair to judge the partial product, so they'll stick it out through the end, even if it's terrible, just so they say without a doubt they did not like it.

I can understand the mentality, but sometimes you have to just jump ship.

I have a friend who grimly stuck it out through Wheel of Time long after he stopped enjoying it out of completionism.

Screw that.

This week's episode is actually really good. You just have to watch the other 1071 episodes first and I swear you'll like it.

My GF loves One Piece, she started me at just one episode quite a ways in - the one with Bink's Sake - basically just to say "hey look, this story is actually going somewhere". Then we started at like episode 60 or so and kept watching from there - it's definitely a lot rougher, but I'm hooked enough now to watch it with her!

let me start on episode 6 and get back to you.

The first few episodes of Bojack were super rough. I think I had a friend that loved the first few episodes and fell off as the show went on.

I mention Bojack to pretty much everyone I care about. I am just worried there's someone out there that could love the show as much as me and just doesn't get the chance to.

Yeah, S1 was trying to be the office too much. The camera shots and everyone's delivery was just off a bit.

And Rikers Beard is glorious.

After GoT and all the cancelled shows on Netflix, Prime, etc. I refuse to get into a show until it has a few seasons under it's belt. Nothing like getting invested in a show only for them to cancel it.

Guilty

on my first watch of tng i straight up just jumped to s3 or 4, you pick up what you need pretty quick and skip to the good part

Seriously? Breaking Bad was awesome all things considered. But if you are not hooked by season 1 you won't like it, period.

The middle part of the series was a drag, too many filler episodes. Strong start, strong end, but if you don't like the start don't even bother.

Me too. It's a fun watch, getting introduced to everything. It just had the poor luck of being the least polished season of one of the best shows ever made.

Same here. I like the more OG feel the first and second season have, and some of the characters that are only there for those seasons. RIP Tasha Yar 😥
