Season 4 is fucking terrible but it's like the second coming of Christ when compared to the absolute trainwreck that was season 3. I don't blame anyone that dropped the show after season 2, I just continue watching it because I'm a sadistic asshole that has nothing else to do with his life.

I dunno about that, her bullshit with his sister and taking her to the pit of lazarus along with her shit after her sister came out as a feral beast was exceptionally annoying.

I don't really hate him, there are far worse celebrities out there. And honestly he didn't do a bad job in brutal legend, but I didn't really care that it was black jack voicing the guy. The part that turned me off was that it was such a big deal that he was the va and even then that didn't stop me from enjoying the game but it bugged me enough to mention it.

Did we play the same game? And also most people were pissed because there was zero indication from the games advertising or developer information saying it was going to have any of those mechanics.

Everyone thought it was going to be in the vein of Psychonauts but instead be a pure Hack and Slash Action Adventure set in a Heavy Metal inspired world.

I literally know 5 people in real life from school that had the same reaction as I did. We played the 360 demo and were fans of Psychonauts and then when we got the game were utterly disappointed when it turned into a console RTS.

Nope, game tricks you into thinking you're in a hack and slash game.

Usually I have pretty poor taste in TV and am proud of it, but I agree with you.

Seriously, did anyone else feel like watching Season 3 felt like a chore? All the plots of betrayal and twists and liar-reveals. Are there other reasons why people didn't like it?

Also, why did Amanda Waller need Oliver to do espionage shit when she could have used some special forces shmuck? On top of that, why is she written so overly evil?
>Threatening to kill Thea and Akio to keep people in line
>Willing to blow up a plane filled with hundreds of innocents just to kill one druglord
I get the whole "moral grey shady government to keep the world nice" deal, but holy fuck, how would ARGUS get away with all this shit?

I also think Oliver in this show doesn't even feel like DC Green Arrow, more like an entirely different character. Maybe it's the lack of curly mustache.

Nah, in STALKER, even when you get great gear and great weapons, you're still pretty weak. That's what makes the game so great though. You always gotta be on your toes because even the monsters you first encountered during the first 1/4 of the game can still fuck you up.
