To me the “worth it” came down to only paying about $115 after trade ins and there’s been no regrets about those trade ins (my OG PS4, my PS3 that wasn’t touched in 3-4 years, and a few games). The upgrade has also given me peace of mind over a few things. Exclusives will be at their best so no concern about a game…

Sounds good in theory but not sure if it would work well in practice. Developers would be forced to make sure games can perform well regardless of the console model and I don’t know if that form of optimization would work like it does on PCs. It might provide unnecessary challenges for developers, unless it’s a…

I’m unintentionally taking it slow because of the annoying priorities of life (I suppose my job is more important than playing this game) but I honestly think I could play this game for days straight and never get bored or uninterested. The pace of the game has been nearly pitch perfect for me. There haven’t been…

To be fair, doesn’t this happen in comics all the time too? I think it’s just difficult to consistently handle the power and strengths of each superhero and villain. It’s a balancing act of trying to show off how powerful certain characters are while not making other characters look too weak or obsolete but also not…

I don’t understand how people could be upset with the ending. If you’ve read the comics, specifically “Infinity Gaunlet” then you know the deal. This is basically exactly what happens in the comic and if they didn’t do it in the movie then why even do an “Infinity War” movie? The only way that scene works is if you…

If you didn’t like GotG 1 you won’t like part 2. You could always look up and read about the important tidbits from GotG2. Warning about Ragnorak, it does have a little bit of a Guardians vibe because of the humor but maybe you’ll like it because it mostly comes from Hemsworth, Hulk, Jeff Goldblum, and a couple…

Thor 3 is fun. They really go in on adding comedy which could be a positive or negative depending on he person but I enjoyed it. Spiderman was pretty good to. Different from a lot of the other MCU movies because we are seeing a young, novice superhero who lacks confidence and isn’t quite sure who is he yet (in…

The key there is “right away” which tells me you plan on seeing it eventually. The movie is going to kill the first few weeks because of people that can’t wait to see it or love it enough to see it multiple times but even after that the sales should still be pretty steady because of people that wait to see it. …

“But even then, it wasn’t supposed to be as big a hit as it was”

Dude imagine telling people a 2-3 years ago that a Black Panther movie would break records and make more money than a Justice League movie by a large margin? People would laugh in your face.

Exactly. If the predictions were “this will be the best reviewed movie of all time” then I’d agree the Disney bias is in play. But I think even the biggest Marvel haters know this movie is going to absolutely kill it in terms of sales. Anything short of Black Panther numbers would be surprising and, to some…

Spot on. The Disney, Marvel bias might exist, can’t really be proven or disproven, but there’s no bias involved in these predictions. Anyone that has been paying attention to these movies over the past few years could have accurately made this prediction/assimption. Not to mention that presale numbers indicate that…

Considering Black Panther killed the box office it doesn’t take any bias to predict that Infinity War, inarguably the biggest superhero movie ever that also features much of the cast and setting of Black Panther, will break records and possibly best Black Panther’s performance.

I think I remember that now that you mention it. Hard to keep track of all the rumors and leaks over the years.

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply or assume that’s what you were saying. Hopefully Microsoft has a couple surprised in-store for us.

You know how these things are though. The disappointment with the game at release was probably a bit hyperbolic and overstated. The biggest complaints I remember at launch was about the bugs/glitches and the visuals not looking “next gen” enough. The game was so hyped and anticipated that anything short of “great”…

I’m with you. The first time they showed the game was impressive with the huge swarms of zombies and, seemingly, destructive and interactive environments but the more they show the more the gameplay resembles most open world type game imo. Seems like you do the same type of things you would do in any other open…

With Sunset Overdrive the combination of the combat and traversal system was enough to keep the game entertaining until the end but once I finished there wasn’t enough to bring me back to finish side missions or just run around blasting enemies. One thing I think the game needed was an improvement to melee combat. If…

As with all E3's my hope going in is for legitimately exciting surprises and reveals. No “announcements” for things that have already been leaked or rumored. Im talking genuinely unexpected announcements. For example Sony’s announcements for Horizon and Spiderman were nice surprises because both games looked great…

I hope that’s not Microsoft’s plan for E3. That would be highly disappointing. It seems like Microsoft/Xbox has been turning a corner the past few years but if their answer to the complaint of lack of exclusives is sequels to a few of their longest running franchise then they haven’t learned much over the years. …
