Yeah ain't no Trek fans watching that shit on broadcast CBS. Only people watching that are boomers who still regularly watch CBS in the first place.

I wonder how many people are in the 'eh whichever one I can get first' when it comes to PS vs Xbox? Is there a genuine market advantage to be had here or is it just that people already have in mind what they want? If they only plan to get a specific one, or plan to get both, there is no...

That's for the best, your soul will thank you.

AMC seems to think that $5 for a small popcorn is something that will compel us to come visit their cesspool.

I can't imagine why people would even want to have communication on with people on a console who wasn't already a good friend, much less manage to get banned.

Hearing rumors that a bunch of current people are jumping ship after some stock bonuses finish vesting on Oct 1st. I guess after the Bungie splinter Activision suits came down hard on the Bliz creatives and the COVID attitude has made things untenable.

They will have a Hearthstone-equivalent within a year I bet.

The original Activision team were goddamn rockstars. They (and to a lesser degree iMagic) forced the issue of 3rd party software development for gaming systems and set the stage for true competition in the marketplace.

The shipping thing is... woof. I'm not accustomed to paying money for shipping at this point.

HeroQuest Game System linked in the boardgame thread too

Its what Hasbro does for products that they want to make but which aren't guaranteed enough sales via market research to be absolutely viable. So weird fan stuff or outrageous things like the Star Wars Jabba Sailbarge etc. In this case they can use the format to potentially enable all sorts...

Note that the bios of the 'guest designers' betrays their bigger aspirations beyond the listed goals. One of the designers is for the Druid character which doesn't even show up currently as a stretch goal.

https://hasbropulse.com/products/heroquest-game-system Its amusing that Hasbro is running their 'lab' as a crowd funding enterprise, but I suppose it allows for more crazy moonshot ideas with expanded offerings so why not.

Xbox Just as much as a clusterfuck as PlayStation. Special award goes to the Microsoft store itself which buried the link to actually order the thing behind 3 interim pages of links and 'configure' options which led to a static link for the only actual 'configuration' available.

What the... after all the work they did in Legion and BfA to create scalable content that let people scatter to the winds and pursue the content in whatever order they wished (and thus reduce congestion) they reverted to a set order? Whose bright idea was that??

The series was crazy expensive to produce so I'm sure when it wasn't an immediate smash hit the Netflix eyes wandered elsewhere looking for their next great franchise.

Yeah you can get a hint of that with the "operations" toggle on the map whereby you can switch between (right now) the Avengers Initiative and the Campaign. Its clear they put that in to allow for very extensible campaign-like additions.

Yeah she has definitely levelled up... Surely they must be linking her and the whole Dr Strange multiverse into finally doing the mutants.

They clarified that Exotic gear can only drop the first time you complete heroic activities each week. They did say that the drop percentage would increase soon once the Last Avenger Standing was working properly.

My bad, it's a normal heroic hive but the mission is to do 8 of them in a series of parts. After I did the one last night I'm on part 2 of the 'quest'

Did the new Heroic Gauntlet1 after the patch, the hero rotation thing is working in that if you get downed you have to switch to another character so long as that other character meets the power requirement. It says it's 8 floors, but it was actually 6 and not too bad so long as I played super...

That may not be a fair assumption. I remember when PS4 and the Xbone launched that there were a couple of media apps that were not updated for a few months. It was very annoying.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-universe-rebranding-as-comics-only-platform-in-january This came with the natural sunsetting of DCUniverse as a streaming service.

I wonder if all this will cause retailers to rethink their bot-defense mechanisms? Obviously its been effecting shoe collectors for awhile, but I don't think they are numerous enough for it to be a news item. People are starting to talk about how hard it is for a human to place a preorder.

Yeah it is odd that its a game that is actually available at launch, wont be on PS4 / Xbone and they said nothing...

Digital Editions seem to sell out super fast, much more so than the full version

I am getting a twinge of FOMO and a desire to make Cyberpunk 2077 look as pretty as possible....

So Spiderman Miles Morales and a bunch of PS4 'classics' are the true launch titles?

The discless at $399 is very compelling. It certainly compares favorably to the 'wtf-level' Xbox Series You-just-fucked-developers-with-a-min-spec-S

Yeah I saw that blurb and immediately thought of this thread. Consider also the whole Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa OK and how completely unknown it was to most people until just recently. If you have an active disinformation campaign fostered by the Empire's control of interstellar...

Note that the story does continue after the "Campaign" is over. Think of the single player campaign as a very long tutorial / intro. This is similar to Destiny/Division/Anthem, but in this case there does seem to be genuinely an ongoing story that has had thought put into it.

His education has come solely from these people who are in exile. Its entirely possible that, despite his parents being killed in the Clone Wars it looks like, they never made mention of the Jedi as part of his upbringing as a foundling. Its clear he has no idea what the fuck the force is and...

It wasn't even his body most of the time. The melee stunt guy and the marksman stunt guy were in the suit far more frequently than he was.

50% rejection rate on the system-on-a-chip core sounds abysmal. Doubly so when you realize they must have relaxed their testing criteria a bit to even get it to that point and so its likely that somewhere around 10% of the units shipped will have underperforming cores.

Would make for good support superstructure for a goblin/gnome highrise. It is weird that they didn't even try to address this part of the plotline. I can only assume that it will be integral to the post afterlife plot

Make sure to do the Priority Mission each week. The first time you complete it you get stuff like 50 upgrade modules. Right now I'm starved for upgrade modules so this was a godsend.

I'm enjoying these animated previews they have been doing. They make it sound like Shadowlands is pretty cool with a compelling plotline, so good marketing there.
