Same.  I found that Crossguard was the best for most enemy encounters and regular bosses, and Dual was the best for the big boss fights because the meditation block works great against melee opponents for wearing down their block meter quickly.

Man, than Angel finale was amazing. 

Agreed on Dark Fate. It was the best Terminator movie since T2. The rankings, at least for me:
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
So rarely has a sequel been better than the original in every way, that we still consider this to be the prime example of it, over 30 years later.
2. The Terminator
Has some of the best…

You say that, but a massive patch and a huge expansion helped fix a lot of the problems with The Division. That game was a train wreck a la Redfall when it first came out. That big Year 1 update changed so much in the game and basically salvaged it, leading to an eventual sequel.

Coming Soon to NewsMax: The Fuck Fox News Hour with Tucker “you thought I was unhinged before!?” Carlson.

I know it’s not the same thing, but I’ve been playing Watch Dogs 2 lately and there is something really wrong about just killing people in that game. You’re a hacker, not a violent criminal, and you’re not in a war zone. It always bugs me when I see other players killing people in that game. I only use the tazer,…

I owned a 2014 Sonic LTZ (they didn’t make the sedan in the RS trim level then.)  It was an ok car.  Had a decent get-up-and-go when I needed it, but nothing spectacular.  I did like the look of it, though.  It was like they were trying to make a small car feel bigger with the boxier design and I thought it worked…

Yeah, Secret Wars will likely end the “Avengers” era of the MCU for a while and end up focusing on the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Then they will eventually recast the Avengers and reboot that as a franchise.

Agreed. There are issues, sure. But I don’t think there’s any real reason to get concerned until we see how GotG Vol 3 does. If it hits big, then I think the issue is more with spotty quality of phase 4 films and less overall fatigue.

I wouldn’t put it at #1, but it’s top 5 for me. I loved Odyssey. It has the best combat mechanics of any of the open world AC games, a beautifully realized version of the ancient greek world, and just enough RPG mechanics to make it a game I could come back to and play through in large chunks whenever I wanted that.

Yeah, that was surprising. The most surprising was Angela Bassett losing to Jamie Lee Curtis. I still don’t get that one, but the Academy loved EEAAO and wanted to heap all the love on it.  Honestly, some of it’s wins kind of make me wonder if there wasn’t some heavy backroom politicking coming from A24.

Well, that almost always goes to major blockbusters these days.  It’s basically their “Most Popular Film” award most years.

It’s not, but that shouldn’t be a non-factor in nominations, or frankly winning, either.

Because now there are 10 films that get to put “Best Picture Nominee” on their marketing materials.  And the Academy gets to deflate some of the criticism that they ignore films that have both critical acclaim and box office success.  But that also means that there are some films that will only get a Best Picture…

I almost never side with rich douchebags, but I kind of feel like I should in this case. Everyone on here is just piling onto them for a frivolous lawsuit, being morons for believing it, etc...

Not to mention, let’s not pretend that Fireflies were the good guys. They were essentially terrorists in a lot of scenarios, willing to kill innocent people in order to strike at FEDRA and fight against the new order FEDRA ran.

I’m not surprised that Tom Cruise and James Cameron didn’t go. They both knew their films wouldn’t win anything outside of 1-2 technical categories (they were both guaranteed to win something for Sound or Visual Effects anyway), so why bother? Their ultimate award is box office success and sustained popularity. They…

Totally agreed. Fun movie, but not best picture. And I haven’t watched all the other films (mostly saw the big ones: Top Gun, Avatar, Elvis, Everything, and All Quiet), but with almost all of them having majority white casts and filmmakers, I’m not shocked the Academy voted the way they did.

I was onboard with almost all of these, but Parasite as best picture? No. It’s a good movie, but it did not deserve best picture. It was not, and still is not, a better film than 1917, Ford v Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, or Marriage Story.

Yes, Denzel probably should have won for Malcolm X. But in reality, he won for Training Day, but not actually for Training Day. He won because he got fucked over the year before when he should have won for The Hurricane, and the Academy knew it. So they gave him a “mea culpa” Oscar for a good performance, but one that…
