I understand that if you’re a creator, you want your IP represented in a specific way, you want certain creative choices to align with your ideas, messages to be conveyed, etc. And when it comes to Hollywood adaptations of video game properties, a lot of things tend to get lost in translation, and a lot of times,…

This is exactly my thinking. Maybe he will serve as a later host, but it seems fairly obvious from a drama standpoint, that it’s going to be... yeah.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we don’t know for sure that this iteration of Venom is Eddie Brock. In fact, the credits stinger of the first game would strongly imply it will be someone else, who I won’t name due to spoilers. That said, yes, it’s possible that maybe Brock will still play a role as an earlier or later…

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a “your mileage may vary” kind of thing. I was enjoying the invasion for most of the game, but after a while, it really mostly happened when I was cleaning up those small tasks/discoveries/trophies, etc. So the timing was a big part, whereas other people clearly might have had slightly different…

Thanks for chiming in. That’s kinda what I assumed after reading that comment--that maybe it would just reduce the frequency, not stop it completely, but I didn’t feel like doing a ton of personal data myself. Good to know.

She’s easy to kill yes, but after about 10+ hours in, she was invading me so often (twice per loop in most cases) that it was getting boring, annoying, disruptive, etc. Sometimes, yes, I relished the shootout and the very concept of it—which is a figurative wrench-in-the-works gameplay element to throw you off your…

Random forum comment I saw (so take that for what it’s worth) but someone suggested turning your setting on to “Friends Only” and that may or may not stop AI Julianna invasions, or at least slow down the frequency. The downside is you can’t truly “pause” the game in that setting, so I ended up turning it back to SP…

I think partially because of the Dishonored roots, but also just general gaming instincts, I tried so hard to go stealth for the first few hours of the game. Over time though, I actually ended up really enjoying getting into gunfights with Eternalists sometimes. Having some fun guns and slab powers adds some…

I’m still kind of blindsided by this Guardians of the Galaxy game coming out in just a month, apparently. For a game that I think only was officially a thing as of E3... this year (???), that seems shocking, when most AAA titles go through the rigmarole of “announced in 2019 for 2020 release”, “delayed to early 2021",…

Yeah, I feel like they’d basically have to reinvent themselves and come up with an entirely new gameplay model to satisfy fans. People who like QD games in general might be fine with it, compare it to a Telltale Games sort of experience. But when you tag Star Wars on, you’re going to draw the attention of tons of…

In a previous but recent update, they made a minor change to the Library that apparently I’m in the minority of disliking. Previously, you would scroll to the Library, and it would show every PS5/PS4 game you’ve ever downloaded/played. Your entire collection, front and center. Now, by default, the first thing it shows…

Right, that’s partially why I see those animations looping in my head, because it was basically RNG. Right, right. A duel would go on as you hope for your attacks to actually land. Yeah... I like the “look” of the combat, looping animations aside, but the RNG element could probably be ditched.

Yeah, I guess to amend my statement a bit and be more specific, the presentation of the gameplay should be the same, but I would agree, maybe ditch the behind-the-scenes RNG part to attacks.

I almost forgot to mention that Revan technically has a voice over in The Old Republic. I never played it and know very little about it, but I remember watching a cutscene on youtube of him speaking. Not sure what the reception was to that, but I’m gonna assume he’ll be recast. Plus that version went with the…

Good point! Where are Korg and Miek?

I’m kind of expecting some large revamps in some places, but I think I’d still prefer the combat stay mostly the same, but I guess look a little flashier. Fidelity to the original is something I think most fans want, but I can see the dual-wielding lightsaber attack animations looping in my head and it feels a bit…

They’ve apparently been doing a lot of Star Wars stuff recently, including the ports of Jedi Outcast and Academy to PS4 (I’m pretty sure they’re ports and not remasters, although both games looked a bit smoother/nicer). They also apparently did KOTOR 1 on mobile, so they at least know the source material already.

Ok, wow, yeah, he’s gonna be quite bulky indeed! Nice find! I guess a lot of us (myself too admittedly) are so used to the Chris Hemsworth look. This version of Thor is a pretty meaty dude. Should be interesting.

Dad of War 1 was my GOTY pick so I’ve been waiting for this for a while. So much excitement! Also. I am REALLY distracted by Thor’s sausage fingers in this trailer. I’d have to rewatch the first game’s secret ending (basically that same scene without voice over) but I don’t remember that standing out to me.

At first I thought, how do you make a good, fun, compelling Wolverine game? Then I figured, I trust Insomniac completely. They’ve been on a total roll.
