    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    It felt like they didn't want to end the movie the same way as the first one, with a clean revenge victory; but instead make it a catalyst for movie 3, so felt a little forced. There's any number of places in the world you can just vanish into if you can avoid leaving much of a travel trail...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    I enjoyed the movie overall but if it hadn't been Star Wars I think it would have been so weighted down with tropes as to break itself in half :P I always prefer character-driven movies/books/whatever over plot-driven though so movies with a few interesting characters are pretty easy to skate...

    Hearthstone

    Keep in mind that it gives you dust for a number that you could put in a deck - i.e. 1 of each legendary. And who knows if gold / non-gold stack (I assume not because that would make no sense). So don't go making 15 Rags or anything :P

    League Of Legends

    From all the NA LCS I've watched so far, I would say almost every loss or win is more shotcalling and strategy based than raw skill. You see 1v1/2v2 etc go every which way for every team, but there's just CONSTANT "wtf" moments for serious decisions and movements. Changing around 1 or 2...

    RIFT

    Part of the problem was I was already endgame with at least one character before F2P came out, but I only really cared about trying different builds out and doing heroic(whatever they are called in Rift) dungeons for fun. And patron isn't something you get for having previously purchased the...

    Hearthstone

    This is a bit of a side topic, but I feel like HS/OW/LoL have warped what people think of as a huge community. There's plenty of games out there that have tens of thousands or more of regular players, but they aren't in the millions like those 3 so they get perceived as "too small" which is...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    The 3D in Dredd is probably still the best 3D I've seen to date in a theater. Which is a bit infuriating. Actually, LEGO Batman had pretty good 3D but it's also LEGO Batman so I can't tell how much that mattered.

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    Isn't everything in this trailer in one of the previous ones? I didn't spot much new besides slightly more creepy light room doll scene thing. I still love the old GotS movie, in large part because of the slowness and such, I dunno. As I mentioned before I never expected this to be that movie...

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    The bulletproof suit was used in one sequence of scenes by 2 people and then didn't come up again because shit is rare presumably. Not sure I buy the complaint about it being "overused", unless you meant in movies in general, in which case even less of a real argument. I'm going to have to...

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    I would be OK with Captain Marvel being key because I like her, and she basically wields an external/cosmic-ish power source anyway although not sure what they'll do for the MCU. But would vastly prefer team-based over anything, even if Adam is included I think going team route is superior. The...

    Enter the Gungeon

    Diablo 2 wasn't cartoony at all... And this is just a different type of approach than the JRPG animation style. There are top-down-ish actiony games that use that style (like the old Rangnarok Online I suppose), it's just different art styles with pros and cons of each. I think the art and...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Right, so the same way the Tomb Raider reboots were, that is to say, not an RPG :P Shadow of Mordor was my GOTY that year and I still would not dangle the RPG tag too close to it. At that point DMC and Saints Row are RPGs too then.

    Overwatch

    It's been covered in this thread (and Reddit) a billion times but PC Bangs don't work quite the same way as a Personal Computer. PC Bang basically had/have agreements with tons of devs to where they buy a copy of the game per PC, and anyone that logs into that PC with their personal Bnet account...

    It really depends on your tastes. Most of those games are solid and just a couple of the bigger ones (Witness, Stardew Valley, etc.) at their cheapest cost more than the bundle so yea. Main problem for me is I own basically all of it already :P

    Enter the Gungeon

    Well animated, designed, and drawn pixel art is INSANELY easier/cheaper to make than "realistic" 3D rendered models. Look at games like Clandestine if you want to see what cheap 3D models gets you. Awful animations, awful design, I would much rather have had that game be cartoony but what can ya...

    RIFT

    I dunno if they upped the rewards but I played the game on initial release and for over a year after, and when I came back after it was F2P for a bit I had basically diddly for free shit. Certainly nothing more than I last had when I logged off, aside from some of the new content that I believe...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    I had no idea this was supposed to be an RPG. Every thing I'd seen just said Tomb Raider but robot dinos, and no one would argue TR was an RPG.

    RIFT

    I would probably come back and play this casually again if the extra souls weren't so goddamn expensive. I'm an altoholic and buildoholic and don't want to pay $100 just for a few sub-classes but I want to PLAY with those sub-classes :P

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    A shocking amount of women I know dislike the 50 Shades books because "pff, that's not real kink, <this>, <this>, <this>, and <this> are better". Go go being in a city I guess. Seeing LEGO Batman on Friday with some people but going to try and see this Saturday or Sunday for sure.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They already said they're going to significantly change how Primals are acquired or work or something I believe, based on pre-PTR feedback even. My assumption (and what probably is way smarter) is you can enchant/augment an ancient to a primal somehow. Having it be a 10% chance of a 10% chance...

    Overwatch

    Those Bastion changes look pretty spot on to me. The not reloading between forms makes sense with the faster transform speed and bigger clips. I sort of like playing Bastion on live but he feels clunky so all those changes are pretty nice. Server browser obviously is a huge boon.

    I'm gonna have to call this BS, because almost every month has 2-3 indy games from my wishlist that haven't dropped below $5-8 on their cheapest days. There have been a FEW duds from month to month. One of the reasons I started regularly subscribing though was the duplicates or titles I didn't...

    The Great Wall (2016)

    I think my favorite thing about the trailers/lead up to this movie is explaining to people that this is not a Hollywood movie, but Chinese. Like, they made this on purpose. My brother and I may go see it out of morbid curiosity and honestly I've watched way worse things more than likely.

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    The longer trailer released a while ago had a lot of stuff that wasn't in the 1st GiTS movie. I'm willing to accept this is a "based-on" thing basically, despite GiTS being one of my all-time favorite movies :P I really need to go watch more of the show, never gave it much attention when it hit...

    Overwatch

    The mode is set up where it's super hard to grab the flag in the first place, with the occasional chance to retrieve it. Considering how many draws there are now, you guys are insane for wanting to add MORE chances to stalemate. Also it would be nuts to have the most stale-mate-prone game mode...

    Overwatch

    I've won 3 outta 4, git gud :P CTF is always dumb in every game though. The only way a team wins is if the match is uneven so... yea. Way bigger margin for draw than any other mode skill-wise.

    In my free one I got the Tracer skin, which was one of the ones I wanted most. Don't think I've gotten any of the legendary ones from these events so maybe I'll get D.Va at least :p

    Anyone know offhand if any of the patches since release broke save games or would require a fresh start to take advantage of? I'm assuming yes but wanna know for sure before I throw away my last save from months ago.

    Overwatch

    The "always focus on your own play" is my thing because it's just the only thing that makes sense. You can't blame randoms for your problems when there's always MORE randoms on the enemy team. The only consistent factor is you, and you have no idea how you appear to be playing to other people on...

    Tracer has no disruption abilities though... she just shoots people. That's like, literally her only means of disruption :P Sombra at least has utility, problem is her utility is too weak right now. Have to see how PTR changes pan out because I really like Sombra when I can get things to line up.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You can do it with a group a lot easier. Just have everyone split up and one person TP as soon as RG spawns to turn in the quest.

    The new bundle is one of those weird cases where I own everything except the $1 tier so go me I guess. Also the previous humble bundle is still going on and added a couple decent games supposedly. I'll probably get the $10 of that, since they're doing a good job of preventing overlap from the...

    Arrival (2016)

    I'd rate R&M as one of the best shows ever, period. The writing is just top notch. It exists in the pantheon with (early) Simpsons, best Futurama episodes, etc. for me. Interesting find but I feel like that article is a bit... generalizing. You can't just say helium atoms function like photons...

    I'm in the opposite boat, I've only played the campaign, haven't touched MP yet. The campaign way outclasses DOOM to me but YMMV.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think I've seen 6-7 over the seasons just running normally, but that's with a LOT of bounty split runs, people tend to call them out if they see them before aggroing. I've seen 3-4 more get aggro'd in chat by people that I missed

    Well, OW and HS are kind of very different games. Obviously there's a lot of overlap on this forum of players but in the wild, most people that play OW may not have interest in HS and vice versa.
