    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    If the Caps keep handing Flyers the puck all alone in front of our own net, it'll be tough for Holtby. But that's the kind of stuff you have to look deeper than just the whole sv% to see. I've also shown he went 2 months straight above .920 sv%. I agree his dips are worse than they used to...

    Guess we'll see after the season. I think it's laughable to suggest retirement. Unless he falls off a cliff the rest of the way I guarantee someone is going to pay him with his resume.

    You don't think Holtby will sign somewhere in free agency?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    The funny thing is TLJ defenders use this performance to claim TLJ was just better and if they had made an actual sequel to that all would be well and refuse to accept that Last Jed is the reason both Solo and this did worse than they otherwise would have (completely separate from whether they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just wish the FF patch cycles had more Main Story to go through. You basically finish it in a day, then have all the stuff to do. They dumbed down crafting/gathering quite a bit where you don't have to put in as much effort anymore, and I don't actually raid in 14 so less to do on that...

    Was XV that bad? Like I said I heard mixed things, most people I talked to who played it agreed it wasn't the dogshit that stuff like XIII was, and enjoyed some of the DLC content. The battle system never appealed to me that much (and was one of my major concerns with 7R at first, that they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I completely understand people having certain aesthetics they like and dislike. The combat definitely feels at lot better at cap than it does early on. I don't notice too much of a difference at cap other than BFA GCD changes pissing me off and at least it feels way better playing a BRD in 14...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is where I'm at for the most part. New expansion obviously is a lure, but I've gotten to the part where I mainly just enjoy seeing the story unfold and checking out new zones. This is why FF14 expansion launches are my crack now because the Main Story there (or at least the massive amount...

    Yup, that's why I'm glad to bank any points we can for as long as we can. Now that both Toronto and Tampa seem to be back to where they should be, it's just going to be nuts.

    They've been saying it would be episodic for years, and literally stated at e3 the first installment would be Midgar only. Any idiots that don't know by now probably are illiterate and it wouldn't matter if it was on there or not. Anyone with interest in this knows already.

    Best movie of the decade ?

    I agree The Martian was better overall. I urge people to go find and read the original script for Interstellar. Not that the movie they made was bad, but it was about half to two thirds of what could have been without the silly overarching "love is quantifiable" stuff. Much better pure scifi

    Sorry Ottawa. Oshie and Ovechkin with 2 each, Ovechkin had another one cleared off the goal line, too. Officially tied with Selanne for 11th all time now (684 goals).

    When you say it won't be finished, is this a prediction they won't ever actually do enough episodes to get to the end of the original game story?

    If they're 50 hours you're basically getting 3 or 4 (or however many episodes) games worth of content. Knees to sharp lens flare bs whining at that point.

    This is one thing I like to see on the Caps as well when everyone talks about Ovechkin's scoring decline eventually. Although he's still on pace for like ~46 goals. But you have Vrana, Kuznetsov, Oshie, and Wilson all on pace for 25+ goals as well. Hell even Carlson although I think his...

    Be curious to know how badly CC2 screwed it up not that all the details would ever fully come out. Like I said, if it just ends up that for only ~15 hours, I'll completely understand everyone else's worries/disappointment.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I'll withhold judgement until actually playing through the first episode. Because there are many ways they could expand that story and the Midgar area where it'll feel satisfying to me as a complete story, even as a larger part of what I knew as the previous game. I think it's a little odd to...

    I actually never played XV, hear very mixed things about it. I'm sure at some point I'll play it but it's not something I have feelings about one way or the other. I'm thinking 20 hours just main story stuff. While it's not ideal at all, it's comparable to other games these days, and this is...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    If I get 20+ hours out of it, I'll be okay with it. Less would be pretty disappointing. I still think the idea of "well this chapter is 45 minutes so all the rest will be" is reaching pretty far.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The most amusing part is if we do get 25-35 hours of story (I'm guessing they'll have side content that isn't required that plenty of people will do), you'll have people saying it's far too long for just Midgar.

    I'm not discounting the possibility, but even calling that an "estimate" is a bit laughable, just a huge stretch. I think 3 or 4 episodes makes sense total. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think Aeris' death is another obvious stopping point for one. Frankly I remember people claiming...

    That's literally just taking the demo first chapter and assuming all other 17 chapters are the exact same length. That also assumes the 18 chapters they found in this leak are all there are, too.

    Rude it's hard to think you're not trolling at this point. Is the concept of them expanding Midgar WAY more than anything else that hard to grasp? I keep seeing trolls or absolute idiots think it's all going to be straight equal conversions across the entire game...oh longer Midgar by this...

    Haven't seen any estimates for this under 40 hours, at least not from any normal sources. Where did you see 14? I have doubts 2 blu ray discs of content would be done in 14 hours.

    I could see something where you can grind to 99 (or whatever cap they make), and scale you down to whatever they want you to be starting the next installment. I'm expecting a full 40+ hours based on what they've said so far, too. I'm not really worried about the episodes, I've already played...

    I hope you're right about at 5, or even worse for them if teams start to covet Tua and force a bidding war to trade up above 5.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Depends how Tua's recovery goes I think. If teams are willing to let him fall in first, Miami has picks 5 and 18 in round 1. If they could get him at 18? They also could take a Tackle at 5. If teams are not going to let him slip thinking he's the real deal even in recovery...they might have...
