You said "every time you watch said demo".
...yes? I did? Your point?
I mean yes of course i saw it multiple times but I have also been in Crestwood three times. I have spent a lot of time in Crestwood in the game. Especially Kara hunting down those damn Assassin tokens.

My point is that I simply interpret people's words on face value. It isn't my problem if you meant something entirely different.

Ack! Why am I getting so serious? I meant the original post as a tease in the first place. I almost happen to agree with you original Crestwood looked amazing. Though I do really appreciate the moment when you climb out of the cave and its day light, one of the most amazing non story moments in the entire game.

You mean.. when you defeat the demons?
I vaguely remember it. I only played it once when the game came out.

Yep.
Kinda funny that the area that gives me the most sniffles in game is the Hinterlands.
I was not in a good mood by then.. but for a bunch of things about the game. That could have shaped my opinion.. I don't need to mention the demo.
Ugh been so long since I have been writing the story, especially the main plot of this story, that I forgot some of my characters and which one was the antagonist and which one was not. 
Doesen't help in my notes I went with a different character name in the actual story itself.

I haven't written much, but I know the feeling.. mostly with songs. I have tons of little tapes full of riffs. But it's hard to get back the mindset that created them sometimes.

Yeah. But I think I got it back just reinacted a future scene in my story in my driveway while waiting for Pizza.
So I just watched Mad Max: Fury Road and would like to give my exhaustive, critical review. Spoilered for TL;DR.

I just like car chases. It lived up to Road Warrior better than Thunderdome... which was solely about story and the world. I don't care about either. Fury Road had a little of that, but it didn't take center stage.

I knew you were wise.
Maybe don't be wise, when watching.
I mean, I have a liking for that Punisher movie too (Thomas Jane), just because of the action (and the car chases). It's old school stunts.. no CGI. I'm a sucker for that.
One should always be wise when it comes to entertainment. *nods sagely*
It depends on my expectations, I guess. I feel that way about Dragon Age. I refuse to just have fun with it... like, say, what I do with Diablo.
The Road Warrior was always a movie I loved though. And I never really liked the first one much.. Mad Max. Or Thunderdome. Road Warrior is just visceral. It's not for the wise. So that's what I mean by Fury Road living up to it. But I've only seen it once. I'm not a huge fan.
Heh. I actually set that last road fight scene on 2x speed just to get through it because it was so damned "Ugh, more road fighting?" The movie had no character development and not real decent plot at all. The original Mad Max rocked. I wouldn't have minded the movie at all, and may have been able to enjoy it as mindless violence entertainment if it hadn't tried to pawn itself off as a remake of a great movie.
ETA: Change name of movie to, "Blood Bag's random adventures in post-apocolyptic rooland" or something and remove any attempt to hearken back to the original mad max. Then I could have enjoyed it.

So what do you think of the Road Warrior?
Because I'd hardly say Mad Max rocked. It's a drag. We seem to be two different types of fans.
However, it's funny that the villain from Fury Road is the same guy from Mad Max. Don't know if you noticed.

Character development is very important.
Exactly what character development do you need? Max is an achetype. It's instantly there.. not developed. Like Clint in Spaghetti Westerns. Or Charles Bronson. The man with no name.
I liked Road Warrior, but you cannot really compare it to this new Mad Max. Road Warrior was a continuation of the original Mad Max, so the character had already been developed, so that allows for some leeway there. Plus, let's be honest, it's road race/war scenes beat the crap out of this new Mad Max's ones, it's villain was far superior. It was just better in every way. Okay, I guess you can compare it to the new Mad Max.

Again, it was setting itself up to be compared to the original Mad Max because, you know, it calls itself Mad Max. GIven that, its lack of character development compared to the original was glaring.
Same goes for Boba Fett btw. Since you're a SW fan. The guy has like a handful scenes and did jack ****.. and he's instantly badass and remembered after decades.
Uh... I've never given two craps from a fat donkey for Boba Fett...

Well, I do like the old action more. I don't know if I agree about the villains though. Immortan Joe is pretty scary.
Which is annoying. But at least Fett is nowhere near as annoying as Maul.
I am kinda curious though how big of a SWs fan everyone thinks I am.
