    @XAF1: Consoles ARE about the exclusives though. It’s why PS consistently wins even if Xbox has the better hardware. It’s why Nintendo is still around and why Sega as a console isn’t. Sonic was nev...

    @blaznwiipspman1: I use gamepass as basically a demo platform. Subscribe for 1-2 months of the year, queue up like 10 downloads, play each of them for a couple hours, unsub.Gamepass has probably save...

    @Wraith3: I’m a gen Xer who was in his 20s when the prequels were released…and I can tell you from my generation with no nostalgia, Star Wars died somewhere during phantom menace.Say what you will abo...

    @MigGui: No…it’s actually better to branch out to new fans and replace those that obsess about source material. Take Star Wars for example. The kid who played anakin as a kid was bullied so badly on...

    @just1mohr: probably 2k cheap recent college grads with no practical experience, but who cares? Gamers already showed they will buy buggy pieces of junk on launch day and wait patiently for patches t...

    @mushywaffle: I have to agree. I’m in my 40s and spent my childhood playing pittfall, kungfu, Mario, Metroid, etc.It feels like the industry gets punished for moving forward though. New IPs fail bef...

  • Baconstrip78 posted a message on the post The Rock Says He Wants To Make Movies "That Matter," And Also More Fast & Furious Films.

    Most of the roided-out 80s action stars tried to transition to serious actors too and it never worked. Closest I ever saw was Copland with Stallone, but that movie isn’t great because of him. The re...

    Only good part of invisible man was the suit tech spin they put on it. The idea that this genius multimillionaire tech CEO would stage his own death all so he can don potentially billion-dollar secre...

  • Baconstrip78 posted a message on the post Best Of 2023: WoW's Future Is Looking Bright After A Transformative Year.

    The fix is so obvious. Every expansion dies after casuals get their sets from LFR. Basically when people can’t auto-queue for the content they want they peace out. Solo queue PvP has all but replac...

    @cj_topspin: pretending a large group of gamers don’t have serious issues with women isn’t going to make the problem go away.

    @Destructionzz: MI did nothing well though which is why it flopped. How can you have a rogue AI creating misinformation and not talk about politics? So scared of offending anyone they made the cinem...

    @dragonsama: Who is “no one”? Of the 3 highest selling consoles in history, 2 of them are Nintendo’s “gimmicky” underpowered handhelds (DS, Switch).The other one is PlayStation 2 which came out 23 ye...

    @rohanrocks88: What agenda is being pushed by a movie with 3 female superheroes, exactly? Was there an “agenda” with the last Spider-Man movie starring 3 male heroes?I’ll save you the trouble of worr...

    @zelda37: Word of advice. Be careful your comments about “pandering” to women or how you frame women in media. Your daughter will one day be a woman herself and she’s going to remember EVERYTHING yo...

  • Baconstrip78 posted a message on the post The Marvels Review - Meaningless Fun.

    @esqueejy: Pretty much. Was anything prior to phase 4 more than a well made action movie? None of it is high art or trying to say anything more than what you see on the surface.

    @j3diknightdave: One is a Disney+ Star Wars show and another is a Martin Scorsese movie starring Leo….If I knew they got a 2 and a 9, I would not assume the latter is getting the 2.

    @sladakrobot: GT7 should have two review scores. One with PSVR2 (11 out of 10) and one without…8 at best.I’ll never go back to playing a racing game without VR.
