Thanks the info even if it's backhanded >_> People should be able to tell when I'm adopting a persona and when I'm serious though.

I did nothing backhanded, I told it to you straight up. Hell, if I found this topic earlier I would've told you what the context was even when I'm aware of your gimmick/persona. I think your issue is that you can't see things from other peoples perspective, and this was evident when you go into a topic about someone fat and go "why don't they just try to lose weight? lol". When you give yourself a gimmick/persona and actively market yourself that way it makes it harder for anyone to take you seriously even if you're trying to be serious. It's not rocket science, it's just common sense. You sleep in the bed that you make, if you want that to change there's nothing stopping you from starting right now.

Yep, it's rule for thee but not for thou when it comes to their own rules. There has been soo many cases of Republican/Pro-Life politicians of their loved ones/teens having secret abortions to keep up appearance. Just because those complications with birth are the exception doesn't mean we shouldn't have procedures to help with them.

Yeah this is basically what I'm hearing which is that everyone that didn't watch it (only watched trailers) says it sucks while the people that actually watched it says it's good

Obviously I'm gonna be more inclined to believe the people that actually watched it but idk it's kinda funny lol

I'm also sure that there were people that watched it that still didn't like it but this is just generally what I've noticed

TBH, it is a cut above its competition from low effort studios like Illumination or Blue Sky Studios, but I'll admit my disappointment is that Pixar films are usually a bar above their competition, so when they make "okayish" movies it seems like a disappointment, which another user just said in this topic. The romance is cute, but in a friends kind of way. I didn't really get much chemistry between the two (pun not intended), but the standout is the migrant story since that's where I felt most of the heart and good intention of the movie is from. There's a good chance you'll enjoy it though, it's a low stake movie but I enjoyed plenty of low stake movies like Encanto and Luca as long as it's done right.

I'm asking and no one wants to answer >_> what else am I supposed to get from this besides assuming it's unhinged fearmongering from people that read social media too much. That's on them at this point lol

You only have yourself to blame with the reputation you build yourself with. But if you want to know, it's Trump's plan to effectively replace people he seems as the "deep state" in politics with his chosen right wing/conservative people for a full takeover. It's pretty disturbing.

It just wasn't at all what I was expecting from the ads

Yeah I got more romance vibes from the trailers, when that was the weakest part of the movie imo. I wished they pushed more into the immigrant story, that was the part I was more invested in.

None of them appear to know the reference, TC.

Most of us are Millennials, so most of us know. The meme wasn't used in a very good way.

Mid, wish I liked it better tbh.

There's quite a bit of fanservice, so maybe.

You would think them making a Tobey McGuire Spiderman 4 or Andrew Garfield Spiderman 3 would be a slam dunk, but I bet Sony made some kind of deal with Disney/Marvel to not make any other movie starring Spiderman so long as Tom Hollands Spiderman movies are being made. So yeah Sony is taking a massive L on this failed cinematic universe.

They haven't been relevant for the longest time and the group is relatively small with it mostly being family members part of the group. Also heard a couple of the younger members dissociate themselves from the group. Still doesn't stop them from being pieces of shits.

Yep, got banned from there myself for "transphobia" even though I had a history of posting pro-trans stuff on there. The context was that a trans user on there was calling anyone for everyone to boycott HL to make a difference for trans people, using methods like shaming others. I told her that actually voting and tackling trans issue politically would make more of a difference, especially when they revealed they lived in a swing state but refused to vote because they don't want to be part of the system, to "boycott" (she never clarified what she meant on this part). So yeah a bunch of other pro-trans users and/or trans users got banned in that topic because we disagreed with TC's method of shaming others to boycott HL. Never went back since.

At least it's better than gamingcirclejerk, especially when HL was a thing. That was a place that openly allowed doxxing as a method for boycotting. Though that's a very very low bar to pass lol.

I never understood why that show failed. It was good

It was ahead of its time.

I'll definitely say this, his movie do suck but at least they are memorable even if it's for the right and/or wrong reasons.

I really do hope James Gunn can turn around the DCU. I'm rooting for the movie to do well.

He needs a Sony seal of approval.

Hell I was disappointed in HL cause I was hoping it would be a little bit more like Bully with classes scheduled to take and the like. In the end I found it to be wholly underwhelming and generic aside from the setting (the castle and Hogsmeade were awesome!). But I assume most people that are hooked on HP just loved casting spells and exploring the world.

IMO it would have been great if they focused on just the school and the singular town of Hogsmeade and focused more on being in the school. Maybe the dungeons and caves you go into are just fast traveled to, would have given the game more focus and less open world generic bloat.

But I get what you mean, from the first reveal the feedback was NOT good and they should have taken note instead of doubling down. Just silly as hell.

Yeah make no mistake, HL is aggressively mediocre. There's a great video on youtube called "Why does Hogwarts Legacy hate Hogwarts" that shows all my problems I had with the game and why it would've been better off concentrating on its biggest strength, the wizarding school itself. I felt more like a mercenary than an actual student. So yeah I agree to get rid of the open world aspect all together and just stick to what works, the school and make it more like Bully. But my point was that single player games still sell like crazy, which is something I think business execs should be concentrating on just making as high quality games as possible instead of going for cheap predatory monetization that now many gamers are showing we have enough of.

The only thing good about GaaS is that if it's successful enough, it can count as supplemental income when your other games don't perform as well.

Kaldrenthebold posted...

Yeah that's what really did it for me. I am not OPPOSED to live service games (Destiny 1 and 2 and Division 1 and 2 were the ones I played the most) but they need to at least be interesting. Give me a cool map to move through that leads to a wave defense or kill x amount and that's better than just what they put on offer.

I also forgot that Gotham Knights exists and is more or less a looter fighter with the Batman family, and that one crashed and burned too. How did WB just completely blind themselves to this?

If anything, Hogwarts Legacy shows that you can make a single player game sell like crazy if you deliver on what people are actually looking for in a video game as oppose to tying a game to predatory practices...but I don't think that will be the message that will come across towards the WB execs and their shareholders.

But yeah I play a lot of looter shooters and the most important thing about looter shooters is to have enough enemy diversity, mission objectives, and styles of play for self expression to where it doesn't feel monotonous to grind. Suicide Squad is early in its "life cycle" but I don't see it living very long lol.

The world is a fucked up place filled with fucked up people.

Yeah it's stories like this that just makes it harder be "charitable" to anyone. I mean I still help out people as much as I can, but I'm definitely more wary of helping strangers out.

From what I played, it's fun but it also gets old pretty fast. I don't think it will have staying power with where it is at. It doesn't help it's a playstation exclusive with a lot of monetization. I don't see it lasting long.

That was faked. This further proves that women don't actually poop. They dispense soft serve ice cream from their asshole.

If this is true, why isn't every men an "ass" man then?

Kaldrenthebold posted...

How are the missions? They seem so boring and stupid compared to a well crafted one, is that true?

Yeah the missions are primarily escort missions and "kill x amount of enemies". Like through the nine years of game development for this game, I don't know how the hell they couldn't come up with better mission objectives. You would think they would look at Destiny to give them ideas lol.

Go unwoke, go broke and misery.

So yeah it's no surprise this game would fail to meet expectation, the moment you showed a live service in the same year as other live service games died out like Marvel Avengers and B4B. The only people who didn't see this coming are the literal business execs who have no idea about the gaming industry other than terms like GaaS, gacha, loot boxes, and battle passes. This means they only know which parts of the gaming market makes them money through predatory means and that's all they care about.

But anyways yeah I played the game, I didn't buy it my friend had an extra code for it, and the characters do actually have unique movesets and play differently because of the guns some characters are allow to use and the traversal options. But yes at the end of the day they all just shoot guns and that's how you literally kill the Justice League with. The game runs solid and it's pretty fun, but it's heavily marred by its GaaS model that ultimately will make sure this game will never be good.

AI can be a great tool to help supplement the creative process as long as there is an human creative element to it. Like AI is inevitable, it's too cost effective to not use. What we don't need it to do is to put artist out of commission.

I guess this topic is in character because no one can see him.

They did this character justice like they did with Omniman. Them incorporating Eagly into his moveset is pretty funny.

That needs no China.

Arrival has a simple premise, but it was masterfully crafted and directed. Interstellar has the most interesting premise, but flunks on the execution hard.

Famous last words

Nintendo gone woke!

It really is an insane miscarriage of justice. Even if what they were saying was true, there's something called proportionality.

I think a lot of it is punitive damages, this is the first of its kind so it's meant to be a punishment.

I watched the anime and I really enjoyed it. I can understand why it had such a big impact in Japan when it came to the sports genre.

Yeah no denying it's a massive success. I'm just saying that the survival/crafting part isn't the main draw of the game, it was the mix of both genre's. No doubt the game can only get bigger from here on out, especially since it's an early access, I was just making an offhand comment about staying power/replay value. If this game has done anything to change the gaming industry, it's that there is a market for games mixing different genres together.

Baha05 posted...

Probably has more to do with the crafting elements then the monster catching parts.

There's plenty of survival/crafting games, but it's also the melding of the two genres that really caught on. What's going to be the real question of staying power is if the devs can give updates to the game that will enhance the gameplay loop and if they make any patch updates that piss people off or breaks the game.

Megalobox, especially season 2.

Yeah, it literally all happens

how did they make something *worse* than Morbius

Well to be fair I consider this movie "better" than Morbius. But at least Morbius is "so bad it's memorable" type of movie, Madame web is "so bad it's forgettable" nothing in the movie stands out. At least Morbius has the hilarious dance.

I remember it, too, but it turned out everything was true after all. But I can't remember all the things listed as before so I don't remember if anything in this list wasn't in the last list.

Okay you and I are thinking of the same one then.

I watched the movie (unfortunately) and it's all of the above again, hilariously.
