    Loki

    You probably meant that at least a little tongue in cheek but this is the real problem with Hollywood. Weird ideas like this won't get greenlit because people are afraid to make content for anything that isn't the lowest common denominator, and Disney is right at the top of that list. I really...

    Bobcat vs Coyote

    i live in Lake Havasu City and it is HILARIOUS being up late with your window open and just hearing random barks or hisses cut short. then in the morning you hear karen yelling out for whatever stupid house pet to come home because she left the door open or forgot to let back in the night...

    Yeah I thought the propaganda stuff was great.

    Disney was founded as a propaganda machine. I'm not sure why anyone thinks that will change

    lol... the idea that they aren't the smartest people in the world, only the smartest people left should REALLY be a movie. idiocracy 2

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    there's obviously a ton of holes, so explaining any seems sort of trite... but with the first fall, i think basically what they were saying is that the only people who survived where the ones around pratt, who landed in the pool. now, a 10 foot deep pool is NOT going to give any kind of...

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    that's true, but he's also got alien guts all over him in every scene he's in after... which i guess could be added with cgi without too much issue. i just think it's a lot of time and effort just to make fun of zac snyder... though it's entirely worth it so /shrug

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    i am PROBABLY wrong, since Betty Gilpin said she finished shooting this back in 2019... but when the dude sawed the alien my VERY first thought was that it was a dig at army of the dead for hyping the saw but never using it.

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    The problem is that while it is a new ip, it's actually not at all. There isn't anything new that this brings to the table. As far as I'm concerned it's just another vehicle for Betty gilpin to out-act everyone she comes into contact with

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    i feel like the movie should have ended in the 2nd act. i honestly paused the movie towards the end of the 2nd act to go to the bathroom and saw there was another 45 minutes left and was flabbergasted. the whole 3rd act felt silly and tacked on.

    "Bumblebee" Transformers spin-off starring John Cena

    optimus primal NOT being voiced by peter cullen is a pretty normal thing. i don't think ron perlman is a bad choice, i mean dude LOOKS like a gorilla

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Any attack from behind on any character is an autocrit. There is an actual backstab mechanic but it is near impossible to trigger. Enemies have a stamina bar as well, and when it drains you can do a backstab on them from behind. The problem is the time frame is too short and if they take any...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    yes that's basically it. it's not that it's "hard" it's that there's no telegraphing insta-kill moves. and it's not even bosses... those stupid flying wizards that instantly teleport away while you are in mid-attack insta kill you as well.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I think that makes it a good candidate to play, then. There isn't anything that will remind you of modern day politics. It's just a world where you get to see beautiful landscapes and efficiently dispatch mongols with a katana.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    the only politics in this game are from fuedal japan. i.e. at what point does "honor" actually stifle growth? also mongolians are evil. it those two things don't bother you then you'll be fine

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    as it turns out, the gaming industry has always been like this. a couple of undeniably amazing works of art scattered throughout a sea of mediocrity. we're just older now and have matured in our tastes so we notice it more.

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    I have a regular party and my friend is having a good time as the dwarf. He's not a heavy damage dealer but he's pretty strong support. Gives party wide damage reduction, has a small aoe health Regen, can give the party fire damage.

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    for what it's worth i've really enjoyed wulfgar. catti-brie is probably cheat mode, but at higher levels wulfgar just deletes enemies. of course plenty of enemies just one shot anyone and everyone so staying at range is safer

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    any weapon that allows you to change it's color will allow you to put a pre-order skin on it. i initially thought it was based on quality (so no whites, but greens and above) but i ran into some green and blue gear that you couldn't change the color on either, so i don't know what it is...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Yesterday we had played most of the day and had one net issue where after we beat the mission, during the tally screen it basically froze and sent half of us back to the boss room and while the other half just stayed at the tally screen. We had to alt-f4 the game and restart but only the host...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    that's one of the more interesting aspects of the suicide squad. the entire concept of the comic was based around literally EVERYONE being expendable. when you watch something like avengers or whatever, there's really no anxiety about who will die. but with suicide squad you almost get a little...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    Nope, superman is superman for a reason. He's the one who gets to win the no-win scenarios. He's the one who gets to save the world, beat the bad guy, get the girl and have everyone love him for it. Superman isn't a person, he's an ideal and that's why you can't make him grimdark because it...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    i'm confused what you guys mean about being on console with a controller. doesn't this game play leaps and bounds better on a controller than a mouse and keyboard? they straight up say on their official website that the game was made with a controller in mind

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    superheroes are firmly in the zeitgeist right now. it's one of those things where as an actor you'd be stupid to turn down a marvel role. same thing with directors in that they get offered a tentpole movie and it feels like career suicide to turn them down when it ends up being career suicide to...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    i've seen a few people mention that there's no crossplay, but all the news sources are saying, yes, there is crossplay. or, mostly. i guess xbox and pc have crossplay (definitely gamepass, but no idea about steam) and crossplay between ps4 and ps5. so no crossplay between playstation and pc/xbox

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    eh. i don't know how excited i was to begin with. GotG was great and refreshing. GotG 2 was significantly less so in both areas. Suicide Squad looks like it is clearly going to be extremely similar in tone and on top of that the trailer just clearly showed the beginning, middle and end of...

    you played it, you mentioned several valid issues, you don't like it. that's basically the end and that's obviously fine. no one is trying to convince you to change your mind. myself and a few others have said the same thing, that there are issues but we are still enjoying in despite those...

    i feel like THAT should be what reviewers are talking about if that's true... like that's pants on head... i watched chunks of that wolfheart stream that i posted yesterday and he never brought that up. he mentioned plenty of goofy AI and combat issues, but i never heard him say anything about...

    100%, lol. great description. but yeah. there are some definite things to criticize about this game, the map loading process is such an odd thing to grab on to. i mean, like on one hand you're right it's an odd gameplay decision, no doubt. on the other hand the impact that it has on the game...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    it's not a perfect game by any stretch and i don't think anyone could even jokingly argue that. i played a level with drizzt and had a good time. it's a very similar kind of thing to gauntlet in that the game is FAIRLY simplistic and repetitive (though it seems this game has some decent...
