You won't see major PS4 sales moving forward because the majority of households who wanted a PS4 have one. Additionally, the rumors of PS5 have ramped up and the expected release date for that console is sometime in 2020. The PS4 is towards the end of its life cycle.

It's tough finding a game that sparks my interest while browsing my queue. The majority lately is either early access or shovelware. To be fair this is after I've gone through 10,000 titles so I am more than likely scraping the bottom of the barrel.

If you don't like then don't watch them. It's that simple.

TC believes that these superhero movies are somehow taking spots from movies that he likes. Despite the 200+ other movies that were released last year which don't count apparently because of "budget" reasons.

Again, your list sucked. Most of the movies were irrelevant. A studio can only produce so many movies in a year. If they make two or three big budget superhero movies, something else is getting passed on. It's logical.

It's not my list. It's a list of all releases in 2018. You saying a movie is irrelevant because you don't like the studio or the budget allocated for that movie is your own personal issue. Is your complaint that your favorite studio is not making more movies? That is a different issue and one you could provide more support for. You could also provide support for any claim you are making rather than "it's logical" or "obvious." Why can't someone enjoy a movie that has a 1 million dollar budget over a movie that has a 100 million dollar budget?

You posted it to support your argument. That's why I'm calling it your list. I can't prove it and I don't need to. It IS logical and obvious anyway. One movie gets made, another doesn't. I like low budget movies, but I also want big or epic ones sometimes. Of the dozens and dozens of big budget superhero movies made this century, I wonder how many could have been different projects that I may have bothered to watch.

Dozens and dozens of big budget superhero movies over a century? In 100 years there was no place for any other movie because somehow dozens of superhero movies prevented it? You're not really interested in any discussion you just want superhero movies to go away in the hopes/promise of something new EVEN if there is nothing proving that the replacement will be better or even happen.

However, the conversation ends at "I can't prove it and I don't need to." I appreciate the honesty of this statement and directness.

In theateres - Aquaman in 4D

On Netflix - Venom and the Equalizer 2.

Death Wish (2018) - It's like Donald Trump made this movie. A good, wholesome American family with a lovely dad invaded by evil, evil men who just really love being evil. Time for some sweet violent justice.

At this point (probably years earlier) it's pretty clear Bruce Willis doesn't give a shit.

I saw DW also. It was a decent enough action flick. It was a remake of the classic movie series from the 70s and those were pretty wild (at some point Charles Bronson found a rocket launcher).

Vita library isn't that terrible but it suffered from big first and third party support. There were rarely any huge hits to sustain it and push it into homes. I picked one up and it's a pretty good device. It works well with playing classics, remote functionaly with PS4 is good and there are some hidden gems. It's a nice addition to the PS ecosystem but something I wouldn't necessarily go out and get on its own.

@blackballs:

No not so simple. Big corporation like to make product which build around other product. This mean movie like Spider-Man come out and have video game or app or heavy push on toy or costume. In this cycle said corporation hook in other license to string consumer along. It why Disney make marvel one big universe so seed put in one product lead to next. General customer aren’t aware of psychological aspect of it so they easy to rope along. Others who see bad procduct very smart enough to see what is happening.

It is that simple. You're delving into some psychological analysis for a topic that doesn't need one. People like what they like and companys will cater to that. There will always be merchandise associated with media if there's a demand for it. As a fan of the original animated Ninja Turtles (late 80's) they made a Ninja Turtle for everything. Here's Raphael as a vampire, Raphael with a new movement, Raphael as a football player, etc. (And yes I had them all including Raphael as an astronaut)

I believe they also released a Predator remake which bombed.
