After I grew up a bit and saw some of the cartoon episodes again, they were outright awful. Then I saw the He-Man movie with Dolph Lundgren and I threw up in my mouth.
Please, Netflix, don't waste your time and money on this franchise.
I thought the initial release of the game, it was an okay exploration game. It certainly lacked some difficulty and the planet flying was irritating without a mod to allow low flight. Overall, I enjoyed the game for what it was and put a good 40 hours into it.
I've been busy with life and other games since I last played it and I haven't checked into any of the patches or updates, but my younger brother has been waiting for a true mulitplayer mode before picking up the game so we can troll around as a team. This may be the update the game has been needing to get him to pick up the game.
I loved the first two movies and I can't wait for the third. I hope the third is just as successful, if not more. I would love to see a fourth installment.
I personally won't support any game that does this. Publishers will have a lot of games tied to their names and even well established developers will. As long as they don't tie their games to an exclusivity deal, I'll purchase the game if it's one I want.
Games I was looking forward to and would probably have purchased: Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3 and The Outer Worlds. I won't support these games even once they start selling from other digital platforms (GoG, Steam, HumbleBundle, GMG, etc).
Will I miss out on possibly great games? Sure, it's very likely. But that's just how I feel about it all and what I choose to do. Shame really. The Outer Worlds looked promising....guess I'll never know.
Eh. The Pre Sequel turned me off of the series. I had so much trouble getting through the awful game - so many characters on it irritated me to no end with their awful dialogue and annoying voice and the story was so uninteresting that I don't even know what the story was about. I trudged through the game simply because I paid for it. It's the only Borderlands game I never returned to for a second or third play through.
The game being available on EGS only for the first 6 months helps cement my choice to staying away from the game.
@Devils-DIVISION: It was a shame that Thomas Jane was lumped into the role with a mediocre script. I did enjoy the movie regardless and I thought he did a good job in it. I don't blame him for bailing out of the sequel (War Zone). I saw the second one and thought it was pretty bad.
@SirNormanislost:Probably start coming down to this:
Disney: Come see our new Marvel movie at your local theater!
8 weeks later....
Disney: We're not releasing the movie to DVD or streaming sites, folks need to pay for our streaming service and then for access to movies, you'll need to rent them for an extra charge. Don't like it? Guess you miss out because we do what we want, when we want and however the hell we want.
What a shame. I enjoyed most of what Daredevil gave us. It was leaps and bounds better over Iron First (though the second season was much improved over the horrific first season) and Luke Cage.....awful.
As for Disney, I haven't really enjoyed a Marvel movies since Iron Man 2 (which was okay). Most others have been overly corny and not really entertaining. The Marvel movies have moved from good to okay to dumb, much like how X-Men was a good movie, I thought X-Men 2 was better, but then it went to shit with X-Men: The Last Stand
The darker atmosphere brought around in a few of the movies made them feel a bit more realistic and what I'd actually like to see from these movies, such as Thor - Dark World and Captain America Civil War (they weren't great, but had a darker theme to them).
Making the movies flashy and poorly written (Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, Iron Man 3, Guardian of the Galaxy 1 & 2, Avengers Ultron & Infinity War and the list goes on) seems to be Disney's signature move.
Daredevil is more down to earth - sure there are parts of the show that made me go, "Really? This is stupid." But things come back around to the root of the show. Overall it's gritty, rough, daring, dark and set in a way that makes things feel believable even though you know they're not. The Marvel movies from Disney feel like they took cues from Power Puff Girls on how to be flashy and Barney (or perhaps Teletubbies) on how to be corny and Disney's fear to allow the movies to be rough and gritty like the actual comics....Disney pretty much sucks and they're not the company we need for handling these series.
I'm okay with Daredevil stopping after this season - though we're kind of left hanging here on how the characters move on.....a lack of closure. I just wasn't a fan of Bullseye in the show. His story of who he is and why he is the way he is was pretty good, but a character that just walks around throwing anything and everything, even without looking, and striking his target is stupid. It felt like how they ended the second Spider-Man from the first reboot (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) where they had a guy in a mechanical rhino suit.....it just didn't fit and felt like a lame attempt to drive another season with a mediocre villain.
