No terrain tools, no pools? Only two empty lots? No normal jobs? I'm a big fan of The Sims but they've taken out a few too many features here. It seems like the series is getting more and more into the realm of fantasy with each expansion. I wanted a game where you could simulate and control virtual people's lives. Sims 1 and 2 were perfect. The fun for me was in making relatively believable people and putting them into hilarious social situations (like grandpa making out with his young trophy wife as his grandkids react with sheer horror). If every sim is an astronaut, rockstar, or some other kind of unusual occupation, and everyone has weird sci-fi tech in their house that makes no sense to the setting of the game, then you totally lose the fun of simulating your own nightmarish vision of suburbia.

I get console exclusives, I mean that's why there is more than one console out there right? But taking a game that's obviously going to run better and look better on PC and forcing it onto some console hardware is stupid. The first game looks great on PC, why would I buy a sequel that looks worse?

Steal my dad's car (it's like one of those almost-SUV crossover things) and just fucking drive all over the place, and see the things I never got to see. I live in Canada but always wanted to do the classic US road trip, might as well do it then. Oh also I'm completely unlicensed and uninsured so this is why I'd do that in particular, I just couldn't do that now because of the law.

I use styling creme, it's like gel but weaker. I also use very little of it. It's potentially expensive (70$ a bottle for the stuff I use) but I also use like a bottle every 8 months. I use barely any, only like twice a week. It just gives my hair a nicer, shinier look, and prevents my hair from frizzing like crazy after I wash it. But it doesn't look like I use gel or anything and my hair doesn't look greasy, just soft which is what you want.

I enjoyed it, which is saying something because I've become so grossly cynical of these Marvel movies. It may be because I'm something of a sucker for sci-fi fantasy movies, but I found myself more able to look past the movie's many glaring issues.

It had an absolutely awful opening and possibly one of the cheesiest endings ever committed to film, but the pacing, visual design and action sequences were very well done. I didn't think any part of the movie was especially hilarious (and every now and again jokes failed miserably I'm looking at you dance-off and Footloose running gag) but I absolutely had a grin on my face when I wasn't rolling my eyes.

Still bums me out that these movies can't feature a cool female character almost entirely defined by their relationships to other men, but even more egregious than that is the never-ending trope of the unlikely heroes thrown together who initially don't get along and can't save the day until they realize they're a family and teamwork and YAY!

I'm just glad it wasn't another two and a half hour bore like the Avengers. More like this please Marvel, and maybe if possible move away from the assembly line story telling.

So should I go see this? Cause I thought Avengers was boring and I'm kinda tired of the comic book movie formula, but I do love some good sci-fi.

It's still easy to find a match on Xbox One it seems, but I'm a bit bored of the game. I don't regret the purchase though, I bought it at launch and had a lot of fun with it. The expansion was a bit of a waste, I barely played it and there were only three maps.

Rogue Squadron for N64 is my favorite, along with KOTOR. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast needs mentioning just for being the Star Wars action game the franchise always deserved.

I don't think it's worth the price if it doesn't cover all the consoles, PS Plus already gets me a shitload of games with decent variety and I bought a couple years in advance thanks to black friday deals last year.

@mikkaq: Oh yeah, I understood that much. What I don't understand is if Nerissa and Faith are the same person, whose head was at the foot of The Woodlands apartments in the first place, and why I should I care?

Like I said, it just came across as a twist for the sake of it. A good twist should have your mind reeling with possibilities. At least one, preferably more. Here, the only possibility is that it's someone else, but who it is is completely irrelevant.

Ooooh okay yeah. I see your point, it seems like it's just there to set up a second season, since everything else seemed pretty well wrapped up. It was a bit of an arbitrary twist. For now I choose to believe that the real Nerissa died and Faith gave Bigby just enough info to figure this out for himself. I tried reading the comics for answers but it seems like this is a pretty separate story from the main Fables comics (which are awesome so far, worth reading if you liked the game).

@tehpickle: The ending implies that Nerissa is really just Faith in disguise. She said the exact same line to Bigby as Faith did at the start, plus they did that little audio flashback as she was walking away where they remind you that Faith was able to hide in plain sight and whatnot.
