They both have this exotic beauty look to them

For those who haven't seen the movie, just to give context for how dark and creepy the whole thing was:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEu7quzUsDk

One part that was really dark was where they were interviewing this Chinese-British woman who was harvey's assistant and she said she wore 2 pairs of tights under her clothes to "buy her some time" in case he attempted to rape her, and I was like Jesus. That's dark.

for Peter's face, iirc, it was because it was easier to face scan the actor.

that's how his face is like in the Spider-Man remaster and Spider-Man 2.

for the actress you're talking about, I think she was in Leftovers and Yellowjackets

... the new Scream movies! That's where I know her from. Jasmine Savoy. She's a real cutie.

I don't love the reasoning behind the face scan, but oh well at least now I know.

Oh man. I used to think I hated those cars in the black and white disney world. But then... then I discovered the ones in that secret cave in hollow bastion. Holy crap they're tougher than even the final boss.

I feel like Pete would be jealous that miles morales spiderman has more powers like venom stings.

The 2 spideys fighting side by side... This is like if Batman Beyond came out when regular Batman is still in his prime.

I like that Pete has to leave the city for reasons so Miles is now in charge of protecting it, a great way to serve as a bridge between spiderman 1 and 2.

Why did it take 27 posts... really shows the difference in age gap on this forum now

This is only a half game right, like uncharted lost legacy. So only a couple of hours tops? I beat spiderman in the summer and wanted to play spiderman 1.5 now

After playing spiderman 2018 I think I know everything there is to know so no need for any tips or tricks, although I'm super rusty, and groaned really hard at them bringing back the car chase missions where you have to not take damage. Completely forgot how to do that part.

But what I really want to talk about is wtf at Peter's creepy new face model? With the sharp squinty eyes. Why is this a thing with Sony. I remember a similar controversy with Infamous over a decade ago, with them constantly changing both the voice actor and face model, unable to settle on a direction. But this is much higher stakes because spiderman is iconic and they nailed it with 2018's spiderman. Why mess with what aint broke?

The miles voice actor and cast are great otherwise. The love interest has such a familiar face I know I've seen that actress before.

Why is this video private and why wouldn't it be available for viewing?

Lol at gamespot review giving it a meager 7 out of 10. Sure the game is a little expensive considering its length and scope but it's easily one of the best 3d platformers I've played outside of Nintendo and I haven't encountered any game that comes close. They actually called the hilarious voice acting annoying instead of charming, talk about a stick up their butt. Don't know what the reviewer's problem is, they must be super jaded on a daily basis.

But yeah this movie completely underperformed at the box office, literally no one went to see it. I only found about it because I love zoe kazan and tend to watch almost anything she's in.

While this movie only scratches the surface of the metoo scandal and weinstein rape allegations throughout the decades, it helped to give some general foundational knowledge, especially for someone who really hasn't been paying attention to any hollywood news and barely have a cursory knowledge of what happened back in 2017. Like Spotlight, it sheds some light on what exactly was happening (and probably still happening) to women in the workplace, hollywood or otherwise.

Really good movie, almost on par with Spotlight. I love journalism movies like this.

Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan play Jodi Kantor and Megan Twoey, the 2 journalists who wrote the story that took down Weinstein and exposed decades worth of sexual assault incidents and straight up rape. They were great in the role. The supporting cast was really great too.

Why did they make the arctic time rift harder than both the nyakuza time rift and the final tour time rift. I thank god that they give more pieces than is needed to advance to the next area. By the final level I was down to 1 life, desperate, and just needing one more piece to advance. And then there it was, the time rift! I breathed a sigh of relief, could feel my heart pounding. There was this sequence where I had to alternate between jumping between invisible walls that I (by complete luck and reflex) was able to get through. It's the level that made me rage quit once or twice.

But even despite that, still way better than the damn timed tasks level. That is the only straight up deal break level. The arctic cruise, despite being a setting I really did like, sure did have some crappy decisions regarding it.

Back in the gamecube era, super smash bros melee had these character trophies you unlock with these long bio descriptions about each character, the game they're from, neat little tidbits... I was too young to appreciate them back then or even want to actually read when playing a video game, but now I definitely want to and was all set to read them in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

But I was searching and searching and couldn't find them, and later I found out the devs didn't put them in the game at all. Not even a copy-paste attempt of the melee version of the description since I missed out on read it the first time around.

What the heck so there's no reading material in the game at all?

I'm assuming this is only for US based consoles? I mean either way I can get sony/columbia pictures movies in so many other ways so it's still definitely not worth it.

This time for the ending I gave the mustachioed girl a time piece. The final picture book time rift made me almost cry I felt so bad for her, all alone in that cave against the mafia men. She may have been corrupted by power but by god if she didn't tug at my heart strings at that moment.

Welp I beat the game, for real this time. 100%, all 56 time pieces! My overall verdict: This game is fantastic. I know it got rave reviews across the board, but I was still not expecting to like it let alone this much.

I should have seen the writing on the wall after Xeno X, should have know 2 and 3 would have been hot garbage after how X turned out. Now I realize that Xenoblade 1 really was just lightning in a bottle, and the exception rather than the norm, because it's not that 2 or 3 were disappointing with their vastly different tone and design, it's that this is the norm for what the director is capable of.

Don't you mean "Batman de Bergerac"?

Lol as a kid I was thinking more Zorro actually

Valhalla, at least when it comes to the world, isn't very interesting. I liked a lot of things they did with combat and gear but the leveling was oversaturated with dumb bonuses and the world was very empty and the sights to see there just weren't interesting

Britain at that time was mostly just mud huts and grassy hills I guess

Oh no, Britain? We're back there again? I loathed Syndicate perhaps even more than Unity it was just so boring. London was just so boring even the somewhat likable idea of Evie wasn't enough to make the overall experience just blah.

Holy hell so the The arctic cruise time rift was just insane, kicked my butt a bunch of times. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to find all the damn pictures. This was harder than anything from Nyakuza Metro

This, plus I really liked the song Someone to Say

I could see that... I on the other hand thought it was an example of just how terrible the soundtrack is, and how generically meh the choreography was, though Dinklage's facial expressions throughout the scene were hilarious.

If I were to say a song that was kinda sort had potential to be good, it was "heaven is wherever I fall" near the end. The lyrics and actual scene were cringe as fuck, but I thought the chorus part was catchy and could have been used in a better movie and scene.

NoHo Hank is a GTA character come to life in the best way possible.

Oh man I love this description...

50-50 with crystobal... I like the sound of that

Ok the cat metro level was pretty fun. Would be even better if all of this was part of the main game, but as a one time thing I didn't mind doing the whole DLC purchasing.

This game has this thing where I don't know if I'm going the right way since there's no map but I end up getting the time piece anyway, and even if I don't I end up discovering treasure. It's all completely by dumb luck and chance.

Well it's over for those who missed it. But they did it twice before, they'll surely do it again. Also the black friday is coming up sometime this year so that'll be another occasion.

Yeah I sunk a lot of hours on Odyssey but I ultimately came away not feeling like I enjoyed it all that much, it was really just a timesink.

I'm still considering buying Valhalla, but at considerable discount. And with the new game coming out I'm thinking within a year or 2's time it'll definitely drop to very cheap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_Mirage

Surprised no topic. I was somewhat excited at the prospect of moving away from what Odyssey and Valhalla did. Going back to story focused and maybe tight gameplay if there's time (a first for everything right?)

Nintendo is losing so much money by not going hard on mobile.

Didn't they already make a game, pokemon go? I remember it being so popular and so huge that even normal people knew about it. At work no less

I wish I could have known about and played the first warioware on gba 20 years ago. I tried playing it a few years back but I'm just too old to handle that kinda frantic reaction times

At least I'll always have warioware smooth moves. That first year of the Wii was some great times, great memories

mooncakes sound like one of those desserts that sound super cool to taste but are as awful as macaroons and similar lame pastries.

I've always wanted to ask what the heck this service was, same as Redbox if I remember the term right. I've read the description and had people post several times and I still can't wrap my head around it in a "people pay for this?" sort of way. I also don't live in the US so have never been able to try this and see what it was firsthand.

What? Then whose guide did I follow when I was playing the psp port 10 years ago...

Anyway I don't play SE games anymore out of principle, but I downloaded the demo because I was curious to see if they still made Reina look like a 10 year old girl. And I was very surprised that they went with a different, much improved portrait style this time around. Previously they went with an anime style that was good except for the aforementioned Reina, but this time it was more... mature

What, they don't like falafel?

https://youtu.be/FqE5NX1UOqY

I like how they knew they simply didn't know how to make good gameplay, so they instead just decided to go hard on the music

Does Europe love peanut butter the way America does? Or do they replace it with nutella over there or something. Looking at all the posts and votes for peanut butter

Is that DCAU art style? Because I like it, what comic? I like art styles that are more simple and cartoony and less ugly/comic booky with all the drab colors and shading.

I don't know if ps4 has any issues? Anything as bad as ps3's yellow light of death? Because I didn't know about ylod when it happened to and then my ps3 model YLOD'd on me and not only did it scare the crap out of me, it made me pretty much give up gaming for a couple years since I could neither recover my data or even find a new ps3 anywhere in stores.

I forgot how good this show is. I also hate/love Barry and how psycho he is. Also when you start the show Sally was extremely forward with Barry tbh... and then she sleeps with him and wants to discard him like yesterday's news. Always thought that was hilarious.

It came out in 2021, so I'm going to assume it was back when cinemas were limiting so people were happy to see just about anything, hence the absurdly high rating.

I liked Steve Martin's Roxanne and the Cyrano movie with Gerard Depardieu which was pretty fitting casting

It was... kinda terrible.

They made the odd decision to have it be a musical and... that wasn't a good idea.

The actors were dull and uncompelling, with this being possibly the worst Roxanne I'd seen yet, I absolutely loathed the actress in the role. Definitely no where near Daryl Hannah's more likable Roxanne.

Peter Dinklage was the best part of the movie, the only one with any modicum of charm and appeal, but even then, his singing voice makes Russell Crowe's singing in Les Mis seem amazing by comparison.

Just so many odd decisions with this movie that were also executed poorly. And yet it seems to be extremely highly rated on RT by even the audience, not just critics. Makes me wonder if we watched the same movie.

Starting the tokyo metro level now. Seems like the hub is gonna be confusing...

That's a huge price drop, but my thinking is if it can go as low as $40, then surely it can go even lower to $30, although I'm hoping for $20 before I finally buy it.

So overall I'm gonna rate the chapters.

Chapter 1: Mafia Town. Pretty damn fun and a great introductory level. It gave off Super Mario Sunshine vibes with the whole island surrounded by water level, and lots of little secrets off the beaten path.

Chapter 2: The movie studios levels. It was ok for the most part. Fun and silly, the train levels were cool. Parade level brings it down a lot though.

Chapter 3: Forest level. I enjoyed this while playing it but it was annoying how everything was walled off with magic fire or whatever and honestly it was by sheer coincidence that I was able to unlock all the paths, I was just randomly jumping around and seeing if I could swing from tree branch to tree branch. Vanessa's manor was terrifying. And the Chapter backstory was heartbreaking I don't know why it got to me.

Chapter 4: The mountains level with all the sky rails. I didn't like this so much.

Chapter 5: Finale. This level didn't really have any acts, it was just one big level and then you fight the boss. Very Bowser's castleish and I thought it was alright.

Oh so... did anyone give mustachioed girl a spare hourglass time piece? I honestly was in a forgiving mood but it's just that I felt that if I gave her one, she would become corrupted and seek out more, since she's shown to be easily susceptible to corruption.

So I opted for no but kinda want to see what would happen if I said yes.

Ok at first I was liking the arctic cruise but the second chapter can go die in a fire. I have to do a bunch of weird tasks across the ship and there's a timer and I think there's some RNG involved because sometimes the tasks don't always appear and it's tedious as hell, this is what I paid for? Goddamn.

Well I finally beat it, but that chapter act is a huuuuuge miss. It's somehow worse than even the parade act from DJ grooves, and I didn't think anything was worse than that level.

Yeah this game was super disappointing for that aspect

i paid for the Kickstarter, and it took way longer than they had anticipated to release the game, then when it finally came out after like 5 years of development it was like, a third of a game.

the dlc makes this better but it still feels incomplete imo.

I mean I don't mind so much since I only just came across the game and started playing, but I can understand how it would feel for someone in your shoes.

The fact that it was so much more fun than anything I was anticipating when I first bought it really helped, and I'm just shocked there hasn't been more games like it. Or more from the studio, because I certainly wouldn't mind a sequel.

Oh we don't like Kamiya? Isn't he behind Devil May Cry and Bayonetta? I love those games, though I'm apprehensive about starting Bayonetta 3 and being disappointed.

I like how Disney tried to appropriate it for a kid friendly version for the skyhigh movie. And young me loved it lol

When I finally heard the song for real I was like yeah this makes more sense.

Catchy song, I like it.
