A lot of people said that about Iron Man a few decades ago.

When Marvel does non-powered heroes they are generally just bad action hero movies/shows. They aren’t great at action, writing, or plotting. It’s the super powers that is the magic. When you take that out, there isn’t a whole lot of point.

Spielberg is a notorious Nazi!

This film, like the first one, will make 90% of it’s money in Asia.  I’m surprised they are even bothering to release it here.

I don’t think anything any game company is doing would even come close to an “ethical hack” which is a very very tiny set of cases (environmental damage, REAL slave labor, war crimes, governmental collusion, criminal financial fraud injuring naive investors)

There’s got to be a way they can rework it so Gugu Mbatha-Raw can become the new Kang. She’s a great actress, and the end of Loki 2 was 95% of the way there.

His Tesla empire is going to really fade fast now.

Looks like this has also had the effect of dropping the price on the Xbox S by $50.

The State of Decay Guys have been trying to make a Zombie shooter MMO for going on 10 years now and they were able to get bought by no less then Microsoft because of it.

He should be able to get a nice free trip to New York for Dr Phil out of it, where he can complain on TV for thirty minutes.

I’m sort of defending them, but I’m also not. It’s a really hard problem, but they should have been able to solve it during this time, probably by writing a D3 that is basically a ground up rewrite that is built to be a truly live service game (this is what a ton of competing companies are doing right now). But for som…

They could have solved it by literally having 6 executables and content directories (with tons of duplication), and some kind of transport between save files, but would you be happy with a multi-terabyte install and a full game restart to play content from each season?

My understanding, and I never worked there, but I have many friends who have, is that the original plan was to release a new Destiny every 2-3 years, which would have eliminated all of these issues.  When I describe them as working off “the seat of their pants” I mean, they originally planned on a very typical…

Honestly the main way you do it you make Destiny 2 three years later, and Destiny 3 three years after that - and you write a method to pull your character over to the new version. If people want to keep on playing the old content it is basically sealed away. My understanding was the original plan for Bungie was to…

I’ve worked on a Destiny-like game before, while I don’t want to forgive the Bungie guys for all their mistakes, it is exceedingly hard to keep all of your old content playable over a multiyear game. Just the amount of content alone grows to an amount where you have to develop an entire system for load/unloading…

I am utterly shocked that they are not releasing for the PC at the same time. They have a huge PC player base, and unless they are planning on doing a lot of extra mod support work for the PC, the amount of additional work to support mid/high-end PC versus Xbox is negligible (all the developers are playing/testing it…

It’s pretty hilarious. Agriculture might not be as bad, but it’s rapidly reaching the point where you simply can’t buy or sell houses in Florida because no one will insure them (and no insurance = no financing).  Anyone who buys a house in Florida at this point needs to understand that you will never be able to resell…

This line must be a typo:

I sincerely hope the end of your story is: “And that’s the last time I ever shopped at Gamestop.” Because I would NEVER do business with a place that did that to me again.

Thank you. You know one thing a lot of people seem to be forgetting? Rocksteady has made some fucking fantastic games in the past. Maybe give them a shot?
