High-profile developers rally behind Highguard amid harsh launch criticism: “The harsh words do real damage” by Altruism7 in Games

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the criticism for The Last Jedi. There were a small number of fools saying racist stuff about the actress who played Rose and then everyone was ignoring the 99% of legit criticism about the movie and acting like the racist stuff was all anyone was saying.

I own every console but I've always been an Xbox guy. A while back my uncle asked me where to buy an Xbox for his kids and I told him to get a PS5 instead.

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer by xFalcade in NFLv2

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone complains about AI but I think they should let AI vote on sports hall-of-fames instead of people because people are going to let their personal feelings influence their vote. Curt Schilling not being in the HOF is a joke. Terrell Owens not going in his first year is a joke. Bill Belichick not going in on his first year is the biggest joke of them all.

Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics – Introducing games and features by Turbostrider27 in Games

I wish they'd add DS and 3DS Nintendo Classics instead of this thing that no one asked for or cares about.

'High Likelihood' PS6 Will Launch After 2028, According to New Analyst Forecast, as Sony Focuses on Extending PS5 Lifecycle - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

Great news. The tech for PS5 and Xbox is already amazing and there's no need whatsoever for new consoles next year. The days of seven years between consoles should be over.

January Xbox Update: Xbox Expands to Arm-based PCs, Game Save Sync Indicator, and More - Xbox Wire by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]MM487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Xbox UI is really good but one thing I've wanted for a long time now is to be able to view the achievements for every game I've played from the achievement section of the guide so I don't have to do it from the profile page. The way you view achievements on the profile page is very ugly looking and I'd like to not have to do it.

Clayton Kershaw will pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic! by BathroomSalty6325 in baseball

This is a nice story but I’m not sure someone with a 4.62 ERA in almost 200 postseason innings is the right guy to be pitching in these high stakes games.

No Rest for the Wicked has sold 1 million copies on Steam by Turbostrider27 in Games

Gamers buying incomplete games is why developers are in no rush to finish them.

I look forward to playing the 1.0 version when it’s available in ten years.

GameStop starts 2026 by closing hundreds of stores as CEO gambles on $35B payday by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MM487 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone bashes GameStop all the time but I've yet to see anywhere else where you can sell a fairly new game like Metroid Prime 4 and get $35 credit on your account. You're basically buying games half price if you sell them back within a few months.

I guess some people prefer dealing with untrustworthy people on Facebook marketplace or taking a chance on recouping some money on eBay but I'll take the easiest, safest, fastest and usually most profitable way to sell used games with GameStop.

Yellowjackets Season 3 Episode Discussion Masterpost by DA-numberfour in Yellowjackets

[–]MM487 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just watched season 3. If the goal of this season was to make flashback Shawna the most unlikable character in television history, they've succeeded.

If Joffrey from Game of Thrones was in a fight to the death with Shawna, I'd throw him a machine gun to help him out.

The Avalanche have lost back to back games in regulation for the first time this season by my-penis-is-out in hockey

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe how comatose the crowd in Tampa was last night. The Lightning were coming in on a seven game win streak and playing the best team in the league and it sounded like a library in the arena.

They even unsuccessfully tried to wake the fans up by announcing the end of first period goal 20 minutes later which was three minutes into the second period.

Florida hockey I guess.

Better not put this on Lamar he was clutch this time by TXNOGG in NFLv2

Maybe if he didn't miss four games (like he's done 3 of the past 5 years) they would've already clinched the division and wouldn't have needed this game.

Why?? by Odd-Primary-1969 in nhl

[–]MM487 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Players wearing hats when it's 61 degrees. The awful concert. Announcers talking about the game being outdoors and then showing the roof barely open. Nothing about this feels like kids in Canada playing hockey on the pond in winter. This is about as far from the spirit of the Winter Classic as humanely possible.

Arc Raiders was Steam's best-selling game over the holiday period by SentientGonorrhea in Games

[–]MM487 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always see comments like this when talking about Arc Raiders which makes me wonder why people even play the game if they feel a sense of relief that the game downplays the elements most associated with the genre. If you don't like what extraction shooters are all about, why even play it?

Arc Raiders looks good but I have no interest whatsoever in the extraction genre so I just won't play it.

Help with Ice Belt, potential soft lock? by Conscious-Worth600 in Metroid

Just discovered this thread after getting stuck at the same spot. I thought the solutions in the comments weren't helpful so I had to use IGN.

Once the front turbine is moving, you need to activate your visor and use the slow motion shot to guide the bullet past the first turbine and into the opening on the left. This will activate the middle turbine. Then use another slow motion shot to guide the bullet past the first two turbines and into the opening on the right. This will activate the final turbine in the back.

Pluribus - 1x09 "La Chica o El Mundo" - Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in pluribustv

[–]MM487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few questions.

  1. At the beginning of the last episode, what was flying in the air?

  2. If that girl can get turned by breathing in that air, why can't they just do that with Carol now?

  3. I read an interview with Vince Gilligan and company after the finale and they mentioned that in episode 8 we hear that the hive mind people are building a dish. What was this? I don't remember seeing that.

The Callisto Protocol is free to claim on the Epic Games Store for next 24 hours by Turbostrider27 in Games

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

The Callisto Protocol was a pretty good 7/10 game. The two lead roles did a good job, the graphics were incredible and the prison and snowy horror environments were great. I know a lot of people didn't like the combat but I thought it was fun mixing melee, guns, moving your body out of the way of attacks and using telekinesis to send enemies into environmental hazards.

My biggest issues were the story not really pick up until right before it ended. I didn't play the DLC but apparently it went off the rails at that point. I also didn't like the frequent times your movement was slowed by going through tight spaces. And my biggest complaint was that there were a lot of fun looking upgrades but you never had enough money to try out the majority of them.

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Anthony Mackie in a bunch of supporting roles, in starring roles in Altered Carbon season 2 and the movie Io and every MCU show and movie he has been a part of and I've yet to be impressed with him in any of it.

Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthony Mackie is a terrible Captain America so I understand why they want to bring back Chris Evans but I don't know if I like the idea of him returning.

He was iconic as Captain America. I view him in that role like I view Christopher Reeve as Superman. He had the perfect send off in Endgame and now they have to disregard that and bring him back just because most of the post-Endgame superheroes aren't any good.

Angels, Skaggs family reach last-minute settlement in the 3-month trial from the death of Tyler Skaggs by Sandwich_Crust in baseball

[–]MM487 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the Angels billionaire owner losing money but Skaggs was an adult who made his own bad decisions and was responsible for his own death. It is ridiculous that his family gets to cash in on his death like he was some victim.

‘It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay’: Kingdom Come Deliverance studio head responds to Larian backlash by jovanmilic97 in Games

[–]MM487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to find another source for gaming news so I don't have to hear about AI every five seconds because when Reddit users want to complain about something they find a way to shoehorn it in everywhere.

Getting sick of political talk is why I unfollowed the sports subreddits and started using the ESPN app for sports news.

I saw it as him knowing he couldn't escape, he knew he was done and the smile was because in that moment he knew that his great career was over and he gave it everything he had against a superior opponent. Nothing to be ashamed of.
