@tameshiyaku Funny you say that, because I think James Gunn's style is the best of all the MCU subseries. Although most films trying to replicate it, with exceptions, fail. Taika's Thor Ragnarok was a good example of replicating the humor. Love and Thunder, not so much.
I felt like the new Captain America was pretty boring outside of the action and some of the drama. I'm glad you liked it, but I unfortunately found it bland.
I'm hoping that this is closer in quality to the first three Captain America films and the Black Panther films, rather than the newest Captain America film.
Spoilers to the Captain America trailer and also major aspects of the plot of the film. I just need to make fun of it. "You're not Steve Rogers" "You're right...I'm not..." 🔥🔥🔥 Cinema.
Why do people always want Sony to buy these large companies outright? Did we learn nothing from Microsoft's acquisitions of Activision Blizzard and Bethesda, or even Sony's acquisition of Bungie?
Regardless, it's definitely something seeing Tencent buying further stakes in companies, especially after closing offices, laying off employees, and even having one subsidiary buy themselves out to get away from their shackles.
Honestly, for a modern-day PC VR headset, that's an absolute steal. I don't think it's an amazing price for PlayStation 5 in particular, but this is a really good competitive price against the Quest 3 for PC VR gaming.
I've never been happier to procrastinate a purchase.
@Jay767 Video games never age, because if they did, the PlayStation 3 would be nineteen years old, and that's just ridiculous.
All jokes aside, I don't agree with that sentiment. Games still feel fresh to me for a few years, at least until a new generation, sequel, or it's been four to five years. It's probably because I take a while to actually play a game, but I still consider games from one or two years ago fresh or new-ish. Sales are just a part of the video game experience for me. Outside of Nintendo.
@BamBamBaklava89 Marvel Rivals made over $130 million in the first month alone. A free-to-play game, making that much money. I think the issue is a whole lot bigger than people not appreciating art.
@Cornpop76 Wouldn't mediocre slop be a 5/10? 7/10 is still good, sometimes great.
Also, Avowed has more of an 8/10 than a 7/10 response at the moment. I'm not saying that pre-ordering is worth it, especially at $70 or £70, but if people want to pre-order, they can do that. I personally don't pre-order, but I do sometimes buy games at full price after they release, specifically if they have very good reviews.
Hmmm, should we put our Civilization game on the popular VR headset with great third-party support and ok first-party support, or the VR headset that's been considered abandoned by manufacturer that made it not even two years after it released? Hmmmm...
Jokes and whining aside, I just feel like Sony brought this on themselves. A $550 VR headset with only two original VR titles from Sony Interactive? Really? Oculus Studios isn't supporting the Quest headsets amazingly either, but at least the price and third-party support makes up for it, and when Oculus Studios does release a new game exclusive to Quest, it's usually well received.
while I'm still early, please bring Blinx back, Microsoft. I know that it's very unlikely, but the damn cat deserves another chance! L Also Ori on PlayStation would be nice. Ori is the best Xbox franchise (lol), and it's incredible on Nintendo Switch, so I think that my fellow gamers (lol) at PlayStation deserve those masterpiece games as well. where's sneakers 2
"Come on Phil Spencer, give us Gears of War on PlayStation!" note: this can also apply for Halo, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Ori, Fable, Hellblade, Age of Empires, all of the Bethesda-Microsoft exclusives, you get the darn point.
The fact that 1.5 million players in Dragon Age Veilguard is considered disappointing is kinda hilarious, 'cause dats a lotta people, but it also shows how expensive video game development has gotten. All of this without even mentioning how controversial the latest Dragon Age game is (you can already see conflicting opinions in this very comment section), and while I don't think anyone is really wrong for how they feel about the game, it's absolutely one hell of a problem to have a game with such a mixed reception.
1. Damn
2. I do wonder if PlayStation Studios will (directly) benefit from this buyout. I honestly think it would be smarter to keep developers like FromSoftware, Acquire, and Spike Chunsoft multi-platform. But you just never know. After all of Microsoft's bullcrap, Sony integrating Kadokawa into Sony Interactive Entertainment, or even PlayStation Studios, isn't impossible.

Re: Tencent Increases Stake in FromSoftware Parent, Closing the Gap on Sony

Moral of the story: Big companies suck.
Re: Still Wakes the Deep Publisher Goes Solo After Sumo Group Buyout
You'd think that being a part of a big company, especially a conglomerate like Tencent, would be a more secure path than being an independent studio.
Yeah. If only.
Good on these guys for getting out of the shackles of Sumo Digital and Tencent. I hope the best for them.

Old PS5 games? These are still rather new games, stop acting like the console is bordering on five years old.
Wait, s**t...

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-Orders Are 'Solid', in Line with Odyssey
@Cornpop76 Understandable. I cannot buy games early anymore, especially after I got Miles Morales for PS5 almost a year before I actually got a PS5.
Anyways, I'm hoping at Assassin's Creed Shadows is good. That'd be cool.
