The true Hitman movie should be like Run Lola Run, where you see the same assassination happen multiple ways.

By this argument the best video game movie is Edge of Tomorrow.

The guy who wrote the original novel it is based off of (All You Need Is Kill) was explicitly inspired by video games, yeah.

It's not Hollywood. White people in general haven't let in Iranians into their invite-only club.

Shohreh Aghdashloo is probably the most well known Iranian-American actor in the west (she's been in the Expanse, 24, and the Star Trek Movies) and she usually plays Indian or Pakistani characters :saddowns:

And while Iranians are Caucasian and "white," we still look pretty brown even if blue eyes are not totally uncommon.

I think the worst thing about the Assassin's Creed movie is that the best things about the games were always inhabiting the old worlds and getting to interact with cool historical figures. I don't even remember anyone in the past sequences in the AC movie getting named.

Frankly there's just too much poo poo to unpack with Assassin's Creed anyway and a ten episode Netflix or HBO series would work a lot better, and give you more time to spend with the fun characters.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing. There were no fun characters. They had Brendan Gleesan, Jeremy Irons, Michael Fassbender, AND loving Marion Cotillard and completely wasted them.

I finally started Arkham Knight and maybe its just because I haven't played an Arkham game since Asylum was released but its rad as hell. Can see the batmobile getting tiresome though.

A good tip for the batmobile woes, is to change the control scheme for the gas/aiming to the other option. It helped me a bunch.

Do you like games with a grind loop of farm things to make more inventory space to farm things?

If no, don't play this game.
If yes, there are better games out there to do this in.

I mean i knew the history that came before it but I thought with the apparent updates that £14 would make it a reasonable punt but it sounds like thats madness, pocketing that £14 towards Persona sounds the safer bet

Olga Kurylenko is so unbelievably gorgeous in that movie that I don't know how the cameras didn't just spontaneously burst into flame, especially during that dinner scene where she shoots Bald Bullock that look. I will watch that movie whenever it comes on just to see the scenes she's in.

I'm the guy who liked the second hitman. It had some dumb stuff, but I liked how they worked basically every aspect of the games in, and showcased every playstyle. The only scene I really didn't like was the car harpoon zipline sequence. Because, what?!

I'm sorry but what does this mean? The book is about zombies who think and learn like normal and working this into a cure. Are people thinking this is The Last of Us? Did they change the story for the movie that much?

Ps4 black controller (dualshock 4) issue: The left button is spamming itself regularly (pressing again and again) and for sure, every time I press the left trigger the left button also registers a press.

I've had some limited success with taking ds3 controllers apart and cleaning them. Could I fix this issue by taking the ds4 controller apart or does this mean it's finished?

how old is it? original ps4 controllers have poorly designed L/R buttons that get squeaky or sticky. Supposed to have been fixed as of november 2015

if you don't want to fix it, you can always trade it in for a new one. people say gamestop pays well enough for broken controllers for their refurb business but idk from experience myself

there are lots of youtube tutorials out there for fixing it though because it was a common problem on the orginal model

Well, for one thing, they could use the proper expansion of "BFG". It was going to be rated R for gore anyway, why hold back on the fanservice.
