I've only heard good things about Dragonflight and I don't care for WoW at all. Between that and D4 it looks like at least some teams are managing to get things done over at blizzard in spite of it all

Honestly I want to buy FF16 the same way as well, but I'm not sure if it's a game I'd really vibe with and have enough time for.
It looks SUPER interesting tho

A demo of 16's prologue should be out on the 11th/12th so you can find out then!!

I said come in! posted:

Overwatch had so much potential. Just pure incompetence from top to bottom on that game.

Overwatch 2 was such a massive own goal. Just an absolutely bizarre development cycle from top to bottom.

Like why does it even exist? It's effectively just new maps and characters for OW1.
Would have probably sunk any other comapny.

At least the character cinematics are fun to watch, and Blizz kicks rear end at those? :shrug:

Blizzcon is on again this year for the first time in forever, so the Overwatch Q&A panel will surely be a :munch: popcorn shitfest
I'll be curious if they'd wheel something like Starcraft 3 or Warcraft 4 out.

Across the spider verse is the best western animated movie in decades. They used the built in audience and almost inability to lose audience to go far more avant garde than they needed to, and to great effect.

Haha when someone said it was more of a two partner start than finished thing I was thinking I'd hold off till the next one is out.

I thought the first one was great and I loved the different art styles they played with, think I'll try and see this one in theatres now. Spiderman feels like the only marvel/DC character worth watching these days.

If you're a MIles Morales / Gwen Stacy fan, and their roles as respective Spider-peeps, you'll really like this.

Also takes a z list villain and makes them an incredible threat.

Having him be voiced by Jason Schwartzman is so on the nose, and yet perfect.

fyi, Monster Hunter Rise has canine drifting



I went on a Kulu-Ya-Ku hunt right after the basic tutorial, not realizing I what I was signing up for (I'm not sure how close I was to killing it when the timer expired). But it was a fun experience, learning the ropes the hard way.

So far I'm liking it more than every other MH I've tried. I'm not sure if it's all the smaller changes they've made (like the aforementioned dog riding), or if I'm just in the right mood. For a Switch title, it scales quite nicely on PC.

I love those 2, both the movie version but I also hate how Peter Parker and every body behind the mantle is immortal or periodically reborn so I always root for the replacements. Fortunately multiverse neatly takes my issue with IP-Armor and makes it into something that sidesteps my issues and makes a fun show of it so I can dig it. I also liked that madam web stuff when I was a kid.

Tried rewatching that series a while back after the last spiderman movie and lol so much of it is about him trying to get girls while remaining PG

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

A Spidey adjacent comic that was pretty fun was Nick Spencer's "The Superior Foes of Spider-Man" about a bunch of C-List Spidey villains teaming up together. Unfortunately, Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man later on was really uneven and I didn't like a lot of it.

Comic characters should get 100 to 500 chapters max and then retire or die. Past that you get weird stuff like One More Day and whatever is happening now

The most super hero comic booky thing thing I know of is the version of Batman who got so owned by his Joker he killed that Joker and became his own Joker and long story short that Batman was so evil he eventually killed most people in most universes along with some dark god of being bad until enough good superheroes from different universes gathered the 13 dark metals or whatever to kill that Batman.

only western comic book I ever got into was reading my brothers back issues of strike force morituri. because one it got cancelled after like three years so it had a definitive ending point and, two the whole gimmick is that the thing that gives them their powers is also killing them, and usually they just die after resolving whatever character arc they came in with and someone else joins in the next issue and there's barely any long term baggage

sometimes I think about getting a marvel unlimited subscription and getting Way Into Spiderman or whatever, but then I get tired thinking about it and just read a gn that's one and done or, some 20 chapter manga that had a 10 year hiatus in the middle of it's run before the guy came back to wrap it up

lol I went to see spiderverse and there were technical problems leading to a few parts where it froze or stuttered, including one scene with miles kinda shrugging iirc during the first fight with the spot, and the crowd thought it was part of the movie for a good ten seconds. Then it went on for 30 more seconds before it got fixed.

I guess I should be happy it was a momentary setback rather than the good old days of glitches like that being from the film reels literally catching fire.

Great movie though. Moves so fast it makes me want to pick through it slowly with a fine tooth comb to find all the little stuff. Animation quality is insane, too

define "armor variety", because every monster you fight is at least one new set you have access to
