Yep. The design of the game is all over the place. Whereas the aesthetic in the first two were very cohesive. Because it was one artist’s vision.

I just really loved how eerie the first Mercs was. You could still do crazy stunts like run up the barrel of a tank, but the tone was certainly not Just Cause level crazy. The game actually FELT like you were behind enemy lines. The same dev team at Pandemic that made the first Mercs didn’t make the second one (which…

Simmons’ character doesn’t really give a shit about control. He was only pushing Teller to do whatever it took, break up with your girl, get hit by a car, in order to achieve greatness. He doesn’t really care about anything else. He was preaching earlier in the movie about how he loathed people being content with…

Miles Teller, Miles Morales, that’s close enough for JJ.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully on board with this movie... Miles, the animation, all of it. BUT the extended clip I got a chance to see showed some borderline Looney Tunes cartoon violence in it. Spider-Hams aside, I hope this movie doesn’t degrade itself into a bunch of silly antics. I’ve been praying for a…

Yes, yes you are. You’re not wrong about the deliberate choppiness. But disjointed would suggest that this isn’t some next level quality animation. It really shines in the quieter moments.

Nope. Some, not all. Most importantly, not Joe Madureira, who helped create the entire look of the game and its characters. He moved on to make Battle Chasers with his Airship team. He’s literally the reason I had any interest in Darksiders at all. 

I lost all expectations when I learned Joe Madureira wasn’t on board in developing this. And from the look of the first demo they showed, it was painfully evident. The same feeling I get when they follow up your favorite comic book series with some knock-off copycat artist.

Especially when the man behind the entire look of the first two games wasn’t involved. Its the video game equivalent of a 1990s straight-to-video Disney sequel.

Rocksteady was a part of all those 3 Batman games, so it doesn’t compare to Darksiders. This third Darksiders game is considered worse (not necessarily bad) because the same team from the first two games didn’t develop it. You’d be closer in comparing the two first Arkham games with Arkham Origins, which obviously…

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t age well from the original Xbox, but the first Mercenaries makes my top ten all-time video games list. It actually DID age well during the 360 days, as it was the only previous gen game I went back to play. Mercs 2 kinda plays more like Just Cause.

4 real spoiler alert. I didn’t know Jesus died on the show! I was thinking of starting up again :/

I’m in the midst of video game overload right now. I can always go back to the next Division global event and sports games like NBA 2K whenever I want, but like half the country, Red Dead 2 is demanding most of my free time. Problem is, my sister just hooked me up with 3 free months of the game pass on Xbox! So a…

Those are two top notch choices. I’ve been a one-man marching band for Sunset Overdrive, I think its the single most underrated Xbox game the console has released. Sunset Overdrive is included in the Xbox game pass too FYI (1$ for a month of it) :)

Damn her acting, but I did think she was going to be the next female action movie star. At any rate, I been a newborn sucker for this lady ever since..

“movie about CGI badasses kicking the shit out of each other”

There’s no need for any of those things. The actress’ ACTUAL FACE is perfectly fine. Its like they cast the perfect person for the role, then digitally covered her up as if she were in some witness protection program.

THIS... or a cool rider, whatever it took.

I was born into the era of Grease 2, and I get a lot of shit for being a mega fan of the music and the movie, although I’ve seen/heard my share of the original.

Jesus. Its times like these where you realize how old you are getting. I may have fell in love with every soundtrack for every musical I saw when I was little, but this was nearly beaten into my childhood (and I’m 100% grateful). We had this joint on vinyl and everything! For the culture!
