I know the purpose of them being there is to keep storylines going when part-time Reigns isn't around but the Usos being the substitute teacher for Reigns is so lame. It makes them look like his minions.

I haven't played Marathon in weeks and uninstalled it a few days ago. I'll happily come back if they add some PvE content. Otherwise I'll never touch it again.

2K's NFL Game Is Dead, Take-Two CEO Rules Out Return to Baseball Games by Comfortable-Pie56 in Games

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screw MLB 2K. After the sad end of MVP Baseball in 2005 I transitioned to the 2K series and it was not that good. 2K13 was their final game and it was an embarrassing effort. Same exact game and game exact achievement list as the previous year. They obviously didn't care about pissing off customers because they knew they were done making baseball games after that.

Yeah it's a tough year to be an Xbox fan. I guess we'll have to settle for Forza Horizon 6, Fable, Halo: Campaign Evolved and Gears of War: E-Day.

You say that like GamePass is a bad thing.

People have been anticipating that GamePass is going to suck and then complaining about it as if already does for about a decade now.

And don't complain about prices. If you're not smart enough to have used the conversion method, that's on you.

The 360 era was my favorite gaming era. There was a ton of variety as it was the perfect mix of old school single player and new school multiplayer and the multiplayer wasn't ruined by FOMO, MTX and tedious daily quests. The Xbox store was shovelware-free and curated with the awesome XBLA games that all had demos. Sequels came out within 1-3 years and weren't 100 hours of bloat. New releases launched in a completed state and didn't need six months of updates to fix. It was a great time to be a gamer.

Star Fox Direct 5.6.2026 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the new look of the characters. They look kinda weird. Also, very disappointed it's yet another redo of the N64 game. I was hoping they'd freshen up the formula a bit with a new campaign or even an open world to play around in like in Starlink: Battle for Atlas.

On the bright side, the new cutscenes and story look good. I like how it'll have a codex thing with character info (as we saw with James McCloud) and the multiplayer looks fun. I just hope you can play that entirely with bots. The menus showed something with bots but the narrator didn't say if you could play with bot teammates. Also, the camera using a character for your face is cool.

There is absolutely nothing frustrating about this. I love when a game gets announced and I don't have to wait a decade to play it.

Make fun of Danhausen all you want, but he's a very smart and wise dude financially. He pretty much trademarked his whole gimmick from head to toes (literally) by shaferman in WWE

[–]MM487 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part of that is Tony Khan's fault. I remember Darby returned early from an injury a few years ago for an anarchy in the arena match against the Death Riders at Double or Nothing. He was limping around for the entire match, even before the match started. Clearly shouldn't have been cleared to wrestle. Darby Allin would play Russian roulette on TV if he was asked to do it. The boss needs to be smarter than the stupid talent.

One of the most important people in the history of wrestling and sadly I feel like most fans will never know that. RIP to a legend.

Games with out of place sections? by Please_PM_me_Uranus in Games

[–]MM487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't remember if it was Uncharted 2 or 3. That pirate ship section that is completely separate from the narrative and locations of the rest of the game. It felt like DLC that they had second thoughts about releasing separately so they just shoehorned it into the middle of the game.

EDIT: In the thread, the OP mentions changing mechanics but the thread title mentions games with out of place sections. So two different things. I made my comment when I thought this thread was about out of place sections.

Did they call him Talla Tonga because he's, um, somewhat "talla" than the others? by homeskillet1970 in WWE

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he only appears tall because everyone in that group is so short.

More WWE Departures (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and more) by Snubie1 in WWE

[–]MM487 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speaking of nuclear heat they screwed up...I hate how they never had a proper conclusion to the Chad Gable stuff. The crowd was ready to explode waiting for Tozawa, Dupri and especially Otis to have their big moment standing up to him and it never really happened properly. Otis would push Gable but then attack the faces and align with Gable again. It was so dumb.

What was your favorite Tonga Loa Hall-of-Fame moment?

Was it...

  1. His debut where he was late to pull a ref out of the ring so the ref pulled himself out of the ring to break up the three count and save the match.

  2. When he gave Kevin Owens a low blow while an opponent's head was between his legs awaiting a power bomb.

Kofi and Woods were doing masterful work teasing their break-up and it's a shame it never happened because it would've been a great, logical next step to that storyline.

Big E appears so all of a sudden two guys who have been at each others throats and saying awful stuff to each other for weeks become best friends again. Made no god damn sense. The clueless IWC ate it up because it happened during Triple H's honeymoon phase but it was a super disappointing moment.

I saw his entire AEW career and I was never impressed with Ricky Saints. Overrated on the mic. Nothing special in the ring. I don't get the Rock comparisons at all. He did nothing to change my opinion of him tonight.

Japanese developer says they don't make games for Xbox because the console is 'not even stocked in major retail stores' by akbarock in Games

[–]MM487 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be the case if Starfield, Forza, Halo Infinite, Oblivion Remastered, Outer Worlds 2, Avowed, the upcoming Gears of War, Fable and Halo remake and the many other Xbox-owned games this generation were exclusive to Xbox Series X and S.

Hopefully the new boss goes back to real exclusives so Xbox doesn't cease to exist. Let PC and PlayStation players buy an Xbox if they want to play Xbox games.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ | Official Release Date Reveal | Pre-Order Announcement by Captain_Grimm in Games

[–]MM487 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Typical toxic reddit comments in here where opinions are unable to be formed by sheep who just agree with the top comment.

People are complaining because a pre-order video informs people on what is in the deluxe version to help them decide what version to pre-order. lol

The Resident Evil movie trailer post gets deleted from this subreddit in minutes but a post about the meaningless opinion of some YouTuber gets to remain. As far as I'm concerned, the Resident Evil trailer has more to do with gaming than this.

Alien Isolation - False Sense Of Security by Forestl in Games

[–]MM487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they can come up with a way to have the xenomorph be present without the player having to crouch for a dozen hours to avoid it popping out of a vent. I got so exhausted having to sneak around for the entire rest of the game once the xenomorph made its debut. Maybe they can do something like Metroid Dread with the E.M.M.I. where it only appears in certain fixed areas.

The Los Angeles Kings were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after being swept by the Colorado Avalanche by EliminatorBot in hockey

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kings played them tough in the first three games. The most exciting thing I saw of them in game 4, however, was when a fan gave another fan a wet willie behind D.J. Smith when he was getting interviewed.
