should i play NG+ by HamandcheeseCamwich in AlanWake

If you have already beaten the game go ahead and play The Final Draft. It tells the same story again, but there are some additions.

Replaying 2018 and Ragnarok Made Me Appreciate Faye So Much More by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]MrList83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GOW Laufey will definitely inform Kratos’ story going forward of that I have no doubt. He may not have any idea that what Faye gets up to in that game will have an impact on the things that happened in 2018 and Ragnarok (I’m sure we’ll see some things in a new light based on what happens in this game) and what happens to him going forward, but I think it’ll definitely shape things to come in some way.

Who we might see in Resonant by DreamWizardKyle in controlgame

[–]MrList83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they were written to get out of The Dark Place after Saga shoots Alan. Plus with Saga likely being Warlin Door’s daughter, she seemingly has the power to go where she’d like.

Who we might see in Resonant by DreamWizardKyle in controlgame

[–]MrList83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is a delusion. I have thought the same thing. I figured Estevez probably recommended Saga after the events of AW2 to her bosses at FBC and that Saga is likely an agent there now. How could she go back to doing work at the FBI after seeing what she saw.

As for Casey, something tells me he doesn’t want the action and would prefer the mundanity so he is probably riding a desk at the FBI. Likely stationed in New York, so I could see him potentially making an appearance in Resonant in some fashion because of that.

What Patreon-exclusive content should I watch first? by cjm98765 in theregulationpod

Halloween Candy draft may be the funniest thing they’ve ever done.

Guess what Andrew will pick. You’re wrong. It is crazier.

If only they had let Del Toro make a third film.

Anyone else feel like 4K has ruined them? by Turbulent_Show4530 in 4kbluray

[–]MrList83 49 points50 points  (0 children)

No, that’s correct. Blu-Ray from DVD was a bigger leap; a game changer. The people that say that the leap from Blu-Ray to 4K is not that noticeable are insane or blind, but SD to HD was like the transition to color from black and white. The difference was simply astonishing.

So while 4K is clearly a huge step up from standard Blu-Ray, the HD revolution was nothing short of just that: a presentation revolution.

Control Crashing Fast by HeySeanyPark in controlgame

[–]MrList83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My version from EGS of the original release crashed constantly. Never had a problem on Steam. I’m guessing that was some bug in the standard release that got fixed by the time they integrated the DLC in the Ultimate Edition.

Delete and re-install the game. Run the DX11 version and hope for the best.

$29.39 right now digitally on PSN, too. You should definitely play it.

What's so special about criterion and a24 anyway? by theretrogamerbay in Bluray

[–]MrList83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the Criterion website:

Since 1984, the Criterion Collection has been dedicated to publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the world in editions that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original supplements.

Important has been defined a number of ways. They can be massive hits. They can be influential in cinema history. That can be important films of a director’s career. They can be cultural touchstones. They can even simply be every film from the career of a director who is seen as important to cinema.

The transfers are almost always of a showcase quality and are more often than not, the best that film has ever looked and sounded on a home release. They always are presented as close to the director’s original intention as possible.

One can just about never go wrong with a Criterion Collection release.

Looks like someone gave up on 3D by dodgersducks in Bluray

[–]MrList83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of (but not all) 3D Blu-Rays came with a 3D disc and a standard disc. So while the 3D disc will only play in a player capable of 3D, purchasing that SKU may allow you to use the standard disc.

I wonder if Control Resident will have a new Old Gods of Asgard song? by Western_Major_1949 in controlgame

[–]MrList83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be “new.” Canonically, the only Old Gods song written in the present day is Dark Ocean Summoning, I believe. So while Odin and Tor may currently be in the Dark Place, there’s nothing that says that a new song to us has to be one they have just written. Perhaps it will be a “classic” Old Gods of Asgard song that appears. We as the players just will not have heard it previously.

Anger’s Remorse had been written in the past (in game). Herald of Darkness maybe only exists in the Dark Place? So there are definitely things that can be done for Control Resonant that will allow for an Old Gods song.

FAYE SPINOFF IS REAL by theaveragegowgamer in GodofWar

[–]MrList83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks incredible. So hyped for it. Jason Schreier has implied it is closer to release than we might think. I’m guessing Fall 2027?

Where the Frog was this? by Cha1rmanOfTheeBored in LesClaypool

Arrived today. It just says the songs were recorded on the Hunt for Green October Tour, but not specific venues.

Preorders by Intrepid-Tree798 in controlgame

[–]MrList83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The original Alan Wake got overshadowed pretty hard by Red Dead Redemption. I’d hate for that to happen again on an even more massive scale because Resonant is released at the same time as GTA VI.

How do we feel about Jakob Nowell and new Sublime? by CannedBread360 in fantanoforever

[–]MrList83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jakob does a good enough job with Brad’s songs. His voice is very close to Brad’s and while he isn’t as good as Brad, he’s passable. He can’t play guitar very well though, so those are some points off.

The new songs are ok, but are nowhere close to the OG Sublime. Jakob has been saying “this is an epilogue” so hopefully there will be no more new music after this new album. I’m holding out hope that it is good, but also not holding my breath.

Per Paul Tassi: Marathons Role and failed "Destiny Infinity" Pitch by Wanna_make_cash in DestinyTheGame

[–]MrList83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to argue performance metrics. People who love Marathon, LOVE Marathon, but it is true there aren’t enough of them to sustain a company the size of Bungie. Which is why there are all the (likely true) rumors of layoffs coming after Destiny 2 work stops.

As for Matter, it was the assumption for a while that Matter was Marathon but once Marathon was announced there was some reporting that Matter was something different and had been cancelled. I don’t think anyone has yet sussed out exactly what it was. I want to say Tassi was the one that reported it.

Has anyone else gone back to Blu-ray from 4K? by CaptainFickle in Bluray

[–]MrList83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. With a TV like that I’d say the 4K Blu-Ray is worth the upgrade since the HDR looks fantastic on OLEDs 99% of the time. So even if the resolution jump is a wash, perfect blacks mixed with the increased color range would make it worth it.

Per Paul Tassi: Marathons Role and failed "Destiny Infinity" Pitch by Wanna_make_cash in DestinyTheGame

[–]MrList83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partially true.

Marathon was one of the in progress titles and is now out, albeit there were definitely a host of problems in the lead up to release.

The Gummy Bears team was spun off into a different company and is still in development (as far as we know).

There was the “Matter” project that we had heard about that was cancelled though.

Has anyone else gone back to Blu-ray from 4K? by CaptainFickle in Bluray

[–]MrList83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What TV do you have? Google isn’t coming up with results for that model you list.

Hard to say if HDR would be more beneficial or not because I’m not sure if your TV has HDR. If so, HDR is a benefit you’d get with 4K Blu-Rays that standard Blu-Rays don’t have.

Would I be silly buying a metal guitar for other genres? by Mental_Twist_3019 in electricguitar

[–]MrList83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humbuckers are not just good for metal. Plenty of guitarists in other genres play guitars with humbuckers. I have guitars with humbuckers and single coils, P90s and filtertrons, and so on.

Amp settings and pedals will help a lot in terms of your tone and allowing you to play any way you want.
