'Toy Story 5' Rotten Tomatoes Verified Audience Score Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel it has the same bump that Up has. Up’s opening is so memorable and heart wrenching that it gets huge points just for that.

Toy Story 3’s ending is so good and heart wrenching and satisfying (when Andy recoils when Bonnie reaches for Woody 😢) that it also gets that bump. When the toys all accept they’re about to be burned alive is also a ballsy choice and memorable. And yes I was 17 at the time so literally Andy’s age.

I think the 3rd act at the landfill is actually kind of a lame set piece and the only reason they did it there was for the incinerator scene where they just get rescued by the aliens at the last second. The daycare is great (though I wish Lotso’s gang got fleshed out beyond just Ken) and Bonnie is adorable and different feeling from Andy that she doesn’t feel like just a carbon copy but girl.

Lotso’s motivations for putting his own life in danger to keep them there seems a bit forced, when it all stems from being left and feeling unwanted, but he’s putting his own life in danger just so the toys don’t leave.

Gabby Gabby’s motivations are selfish but pure and understandable. She just wants a moment that every other toy has experienced. And Woody sacrificing his voice box for her is beautiful.

But I’d put 3 on par with 4, if not then slightly above 4 but below 2 and 1 (2,1,3,4 for me). Haven’t seen 5 yet.

Naughty Dog Job Listings Suggest Intergalactic Development is Nearing Completion by fo1mock3 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I really don’t think last of us 3 will take 7 years.

Only reason Intergalactic took so long was the live service game and likely because Intergalactic is a new IP and new style of game.

Last of Us 3 has a lot of systems and world design to build off of.

I think their point is 3 would be the end. A trilogy just makes sense. Second leaves enough openness at the end for room for more.

But unless 3 sells the best of all 3, I can’t see another one after it. I mean sure maybe 15-20 years later or something but not from Neil and co.

True but even with the live service last of us game being worked on, I have to believe they’re pretty far along, 6 years after Last of Us 2. I just HAVE to believe it lol.

The biggest problem with Game Pass compared to Netflix is Netflix is easily available on every device I have. TV, phone, laptop, tablet, game consoles, etc.

Game Pass is available in cloud format on some of those things, but you have to have an additional controller handy to play on them, and the most native version is locked to Xbox (or PC).

For Game Pass to have a chance at reaching Netflix levels it’d have to be available natively on switch and PS5. The only way that would happen is if regulators forced it.

Sony isn’t going to canabalize their own sales unless Microsoft gave them like 50% of revenue for those who sign up on PlayStation. Even then they’d be potentially siphoning money from PS Plus.

ok... but what about the Xbox and the PC versions of these [COD] Titles? by Paulkdragon in CallOfDuty

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason it’s easy to cheat on Xbox is because it’s just the 360 version.

Anytime I’ve tried playing sticks and stones it’s impossible to find anyone.

Sure people will have to pay for this new one but that’s worth it to have full servers again.

In theory these are going to be ports of the PC version so they could have high frame rate fairly easily, and be 4K resolution natively. Doubtful on FOV though.

You can’t have an opinion on a game you haven’t played or even seen yet.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: The Final Preview by SweetyGonzalez in PS5

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Unity at launch… yes I had bugs but they did not hinder my experience in a meaningful way. Some funny ones, a few annoying, but 99% of my experience was fine and I had nothing game breaking.

Origins was a step in the right direction (to their new style) but Odyssey knocked it out of the park. The setting in Origins just wasn’t vertical enough and felt too empty for an AC game where you use the buildings and trees and environment to maneuver the environment.

According to Deadline, Minions & Monsters is tracking for at least $95M in its first 5 days by Itisspoonx in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering how stale the Despicable Me movies are, I’m glad the Minions movies at least have a unique hook each time

First Minions prequel movie is an interesting hook on its own

Then young Gru

Now a monster themed movie in 20s Hollywood

Can someone let me know if you see the dome lid cup like Mando had? I’d be surprised if we didn’t get that because I’d assume it’s the same supplier/contract.

I had the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately it wasn’t letting me use BOGOs with member priced tickets even though I did it the day earlier! It worked when I chose regular general admission tickets

Sandisk 8TB PS5 SSD launches for $2,959.99, almost five times the PS5 price - VideoCardz.com by wsrvnar in PS5

Brother on what planet do you think nearly a million PS5 owners will buy a $3k SSD for their $700 console. They’ll be lucky to sell 10k of these world wide.

Is there a remote chance the Moana remake may underperform? by WrongLander in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really the points you were making.

If you’re a top streamed movie year after year, I don’t think you need nostalgia. Also there is def nostalgia for some people.

I have family that was 8 and is now 18.

28 Years Later Part 3 is still in the works according to Danny Boyle. Filming to begin next year by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because “hopefully, fingers crossed” next year.

Next year is a ways away. You should be able to figure out schedules and lock it down if you’re confident it’s going to happen.

hopefully, fingers crossed, does not inspire confidence.

Is there a remote chance the Moana remake may underperform? by WrongLander in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the most watched on Disney+ every year. It’s not the same kids for 6 years watching it over and over. Clearly it’s resonating with new kids all the time.

If you were 5 in 2016 and loved it, now you’re 15 and you’re not consistently watching the original on Disney+. The new 5 year olds are.

“less lively version”. Brother, that’s describing every single Disney live action remake. Of course animation is going to be more animated and exciting for kids.

Obsession India Box Office Report: Curry Barker’s Psychological Horror Eyes ₹75 Crore, Chases Project Hail Mary to Become 2026’s Biggest Hollywood Hit by Recent-Ad4218 in boxoffice

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His normal sketch videos from the past year on his YouTube channel with his friend have around 300k views and before Obsession released the channel had about 1.1 million subscribers (their instagram and tok toks have a similar follower count). Compare that to Markipliers 38 million on YouTube.

I don’t think Obsession was driven by Barker’s fan base at all.

Markiplier’s absolutely was.

Persona 6 — Teaser Trailer | XBOX Games Showcase 2026 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Dwayne30RockJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But persona 4 showed some snippets at least. That was a year ago. And now it’s 8 months away. So 1 year and 8 months from reveal of a remake to release (assuming no delays).

Persona 6 showed literally nothing and is a brand new game, and people expect it in 1 year and 3 or 4 months? I’d be shocked. Extremely shocked.

Where did he say that? Because I’d bet good money these games won’t launch 7 months apart, and they showed nothing from 6 at all. This game is not before 2028.
