Movie trailers have stuff not in the movie all the time. Is that a comparison screenshot of that same scene in the game or something, with the watermarks? Because that would be new. Normally MIA scenes in trailers have some reasoning but are still sourced from filming obviously.

Eh I doubt it was a direct response to that, two of the three countries I'm aware of that are looking into it started before this blew up, and there's plenty of other games out there already doing this shit, AND the entire system they had is already on record and can be referenced for groundwork...

The food comparison would only work if you were giving them $5 after the price burger for random food or food-like substance. You might get bacon and cheese, but most likely your $5 gets you a spoiled apple and a couple of fries. The fries are just good enough to make you maybe want to chance it...

EA was voted most hated company in America 2 years in a row 4 years ago, I don't think anyone is catching up. The fact is this is just another low for a company known for pushing the bottom.

Just to emphasize how bad the whole microtransaction / loot box dynamics are, we are talking about a major release $60. Game development costs have gone down over the years, not up. You have more developers and publishers doing a lot more for a lot less compared to even 3-4 years ago. Big game...

Based on research into human psychology and gambling, it actually is unethical too. But it's especially shitty. There's been a number of articles written up in the wake of loot boxes this year about game finances, from the development and sustaining standpoint, and the general prognosis is...

That's what I'm interested to see, how does a comic-driven company with comic characters choose to handle the fact that these projects cost millions of dollars per and the actors actually age. I think your suggestion is the correct one and what comics would benefit from the most, too

The fact that they can just blanket reduce the cost of something by 75% tells you how criminally overpriced it was in the first place. Congrats though, now will only take you 10 hours of grinding in your game you paid $60 or more for until you can play as Luke or Darth or some other character.

These companies will take some light hits from stuff like this, because let's face it there's never been more insanely good games on the market to chose from, but the fact that these loot boxes take advantage of human psychology to earn money means it won't ever be a net loss until actual...

They buffed basically all the non-top-tier sets and legendaries for each class but more or less left the top tier set alone. So you have more potential options for clearing the journey more than likely. Exceptions might be Crusader and Barb who both got just big buffs to everything I think.

To add on to this, Sif has also appeared on Agents of SHIELD a couple of times so they have a number of ways to bring her back in with legitimate excuses if they want to.

Not TNG but wasn't the Dominion war essentially a holy crusade? Closest thing I can think of. The general idea in Star Trek seemed to be warp capable civilizations shouldn't be religious but it does pop up as a minor thing here and there too.

I don't, because Marvel is still putting out good, entertaining ones, even if not every time. Spider-Man: Homecoming did pretty well and Thor: Ragnarok is doing great and neither of those were the big "ensemble" ones. The failures of the DC movies, Fantastic Four, etc. are on the creators and...

haha yea I had nearly maxed Stealth armor / mods with all the stealth skills when I got to the container one so I figured out that just "quiet running" to ninja loot them was the way to go. I was never great at putting trip wires in the right places

I think there's only 2 hunter trials that took me more than 2 tries to get "gold" or whatever on. I didn't do them until I had all the Shadow weapons which is pretty crucial though. The only ones that super sucked were the kill-the-stealth-beasts one and the kill X robots that are frozen because...

Is everyone just saying random cities and states on purpose in here at this point? It's getting silly :P This heavily depends on any given town. I grew up in a smallish town in Illinois and it was pretty open and integrated in the late 80s, at least my grade school never had any overt racism...

She's sort of like Rubrik, but only for summoner's and item actives: those bubbles on the ground are enemy abilities that spawn when she has her 3-bubble-thingy up looks like, if she walks over them she can activate that bubble ability. So basically you can't flash away from her if she has...

I liked the season, it was not what I was expecting but it built up the world more and lots more of the Upside Down so that's always good. Beyond Stranger Things was kind of entertaining as far as those things go, as well. It's interesting how much priority they had on some scenes and things...

I just finished this, took about 15 hours and it says I'm at 68% completion. That was on one of the medium difficulties. That's way longer than TNO took me, I played through that twice and had 100% completion after like 22 hours total. I want to go finish up more of the side stuff but the amount...

huh, I'm like 13 hours into Wolfenstein 2 and maybe 60-70 percent of the way through. I've done a few of the side missions but not all of them. I think the big time sink is wandering around the hub talking to people / listening to conversations. If you don't care about that it probably cuts 3-4...

I'm enjoying it so far, only have two complaints. Hunting for collectibles seems more annoying than the last game and there's more of them. And second

It wasn't controversial until this year, now somehow there's actual dialogue about it. That's insane. Personally, I think it's funny and more like Bethesda pointing out how absurd it is to have a dialogue about whether we should hate Nazis or not. With bonus capitalism for them, sure, but this...

There were some pretty significant things that happened towards the end in Thor 2, as average as the movie was. Although it looks like most of it will be dealt with in the early stages of Ragnarok maybe.

It is, but gives me time to play Wolfenstein II and watch Stranger Things S2 and Thor, so I'm OK with it this time.

Basically changes enough to make me want to mess with every class. I'll probably stick to 2 for next season and work my way through the others in the next couple since I don't expect big changes like this for a while again.

That is usually the point of a plot, yes. Why did anyone think this was gonna be a feel-good Jackie Chan stunt-fest? Nothing about the trailer or synopsis or anything gave that impression. I realize he typecast himself pretty hard over the years but he has branched out a couple times and this...

I do like Froggen well enough but my support for Echo Fox is 99% because they have a fox in their logo. Still a C9 fan first though.

I thought lack of lock on was weird at first until I realized how important shooting individual components was. I mean you could argue you should be able to lock onto those, but most get knocked off in 2-3 good hits and the thing isn't always gonna even face the right way. I think locking on...

If you want a movie that the trailer did not make this out to be, you will of course be disappointed. This is a perfectly fine "revenge" drama though, a la Taken, Equilibrium, Man on Fire. Not the best, not the worst, but I didn't regret seeing it. The trailer pretty much shows what it is: a...

I prefer the Steam controller for most things, although it can take some tinkering to get the right pad to feel better than a stick. But that's part of what I like, having it be so flexible. Nothing beats having those extra buttons under the grips and being able to do weird mapping stuff to make...

The first game dropped in price pretty fast and pretty hard. It was available for sub $20 within a few months if I'm remembering right. This one looks great but it has a bunch of things on my shitlist so will definitely wait, or even just go for the cracked. I haven't actually pirated a game...

I'm not sure I see the analogy there :P

When that scene was happening I was wracking my brain because I swear I've come across that same or similar concept before and I have no clue where, still haven't thought of it but also haven't Googled it because wtf does that search even look like

It's a uPlay game. They're not exactly trying to hide it, but the first one was released right before they started using uPlay for all their games. So if you can't stand having a program open in the background, don't buy this, otherwise it shouldn't really have an impact, aside from needing...

Apparently October 27th got short articles on a number of sites because of all the releases, I just Googled it. AC: Origin is the other big game one though. And I think November ~8th has some stuff as well (with Thor in between on the 3rd) so kind of a nuts few weeks frankly. If I owned a Switch...

Season 2 comes out same day as Wolfenstein 2. Also I think some LoL worlds stuff is happening that weekend. Gonna be a takeout-and-sit-at-home few days for sure.

Ah, thanks. That's the impression from CW he gave, the lights just threw me off then. I much prefer simple super-armor than another over-the-top-techno-Spidey-Suit situation. Hopefully one or two of the action scenes don't involve riding around on cars :P

Yea I know I just like poking fun I guess. It's very not Australian obviously :P Way too weird.

Can anyone more familiar with BP tell me if the suit doing like color-coded stuff means anything? Like the purple lining look at the end. Does it have modes? It initially was presented as kind of just a simple body suit (with vibranium) but obviously going high tech here.
