Morgana was cool because it could transform into a bus. I guess it cause I’m not sure what gender Morgana is supposed to be but all you haters need to loosen up on that poor demon bus cat trying to get you a good 8 hours of sleep!

Surprised I haven’t seen a lot more mentions of Ashley from Resident Evil 4.

@rejizzle: Its definitely not just one thing. People explode like this after a culmination of issues that finally come to a boil after one thing too many.

@rejizzle: His/her grievance is that negative feedback is not taken well on GB and that the community tends to jump down your throat when you express dissenting opinions - which as a long-time forum user here I have to say is kind of true.

That said, this type of aggressive and insulting way of voicing your frustrations will NEVER do you any good. If you frame a cohesive and level headed thread about what’s bothering on the site then the worst that can happen is that it will get ignored.

Starting a thread by mocking everyone on the site from staff to users is just venting from which you can’t come back. That sort of thing is best done elsewhere and there are plenty of outside forums and outlets that discuss GB in depth where you can complain with effusive and often time repugnant freedom to your hearts content.

@jondamnit: they wouldn’t dare..

@ichthy: While 99% of the time this is true I will posit that The Departed is actually better than Infernal Affairs.

Similarly as I get older I tend to value my time more and have lost the patience or energy to suffer through things out of principle. My limit in the past was “never” because I paid for the game so I was obligated to see it to the end. These days a game won’t bankrupt me so if it’s a dud I just move on. The time limit depends on the game really. Some open up later than others so I give it until at least past the un-official prologue.

Game Pass has done wonders to reinforce this mindset. Since it’s a subscription I don’t feel any guilt in just uninstalling something if I’m not feeling it.

Then again...I thought RAGE 2 was incredibly lacking and yet for the lack of anything better to do I kept going back to it after “calling it quits for good” after every single session.

@shagge: I can honestly and in clear conscience say that as absurdly stupid as Genisys was, I enjoyed it more than Dark Fate just because it was doing something ever so slightly different with the franchise. They took all these motifs from the past films and then remixed them in weird ways. Here is the liquid terminator, here is Arny, here is a new cool looking one, here are characters you've heard about but haven't seen in this way before. It's a bad movie but at least it was going for it.

Dark Fate's defining moment of we aren't waiting for a man to save us anymore because now we have a strong woman instead is a nod in the right direction but executed with all the subtlety of an airplane crash. Then the part where OH it's not Skynet, it's totally different, it's Legion.. a military AI that went rogue and wants to destroy humanity.. Like why even bother changing it if you're not changing anything at all?

I'm not even a big fan of the Terminator franchise - I watch them and think it's fun action and cool special effects - but somehow I sat there kind of getting upset at how ridiculous some of these changes and decisions were. It really makes you wonder how does the story writing in these sort of productions actually work because it's impossible that more than 2 people read this script and thought it's good to go.

@sloppydetective: As long as you know what you're getting in for with Stalker it can be an interesting experience although taxing in many ways. I would say Roadside Picnic on which the whole Stalker game franchise is centered around (and the movie is inspired by as well) is a much better distillation of the core idea. The film is very art-house but even more indulgent in all it's shots and narrative breaking editing meant to convey the shattered reality of "the zone."

I found the film more tiring than satisfying despite enjoying slow, uncompromising burns such as Under the Skin. But many do swear by it. Solaris is interesting in how much it strays from the source material, in a rare instance for the better in my opinion.

I was actually looking forward to this one. Then again I wasn't even aware of the initial release date but as long as it will be better for it then sure? Another game pushed back, 2020 already has a theme going for it.

Loved Crime Crew

Haven’t laughed so hard in a while and unlike other series it kept me constantly entertained. Enjoyed Sunshine but would sometimes tune out after a while.

That said 90% of content from the East Coast is golden.
