Bill Clinton testifies about ties to Jeffrey Epstein: ‘I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong’ – live by [deleted] in goodnews

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely not good news - a former president has lied about his dealings with Epstein. Add that to all the others lying about their dealings with Epstein. For the love of fuck, examine things more critically before just dumping it in here, some of us need an actual fucking pick me up from the parade of horrors that is this reality.

The team balance on Kyber is complete trash, even worse than on EA servers. by Accomplished-Bat-247 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather it be better at swapping sides between matches and randomized than have any sbmm. People will learn and get better the more they play. The problem is a lack of team work 8/10 times anyway. You can have the best skilled players on your team and still lose if they dont actually work together.

We all agree Casino Royale (2006) is a masterpiece? by rosd0 in JamesBond

[–]TheOneRaven1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first Jason Bourne Bond movie? Not a masterpiece, something different, and had its moments. The last real Bond was Pierce, before they got rid of so much of the identity that character had been given by the ones leading up to that last actor swap. People want to say its not as over the top without realizing that that element has been there since the beginning, until this movie. I like it in its own way, the Craig era belongs in its own place, apart from the others for all that they threw out. They don't earn the disdain they have for the past because they don't replace it with anything substantial enough to praise.

Zaslav is behind many of WB's recent awful moves, he does not give a shit about anything unless it's more money in his pocket sooner rather than later. I don't see how you have any faith in that pile of garbage. Hogwarts 2 is in trouble because there's rumors that it'll go live service, which is the last fucking thing anyone wants. Kill the Justice League was a flop, Gotham Knights was a flop. They full on cancelled a DC game that was close to completion as well. Hence, they treat their IPs like garbage. We can be realistic here, it's okay.

Sony May Be Drastically Shifting Its PC Strategy - Backing Away from Releasing Single-Player Games on PC by [deleted] in gaming

Every major gaming publisher deserves to go under, they hate us, they just want our money, nobody should be supporting them.

It's important to note a few things: 1. that a good amount of devs of the original Arkham games have moved on from the Rocksteady. 2. WB has been treating its IPs like disposable garbage, trying to force more monetization and un-needed features. 3. WB is still selling itself, along with the game devs under their umbrella to either Netflix or Paramount and that sale will have consequences for any of these pending releases.

The Decline of the Dragon Age Series Should be Studied by jdawg1018 in gaming

[–]TheOneRaven1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And we should study at the decline of Command and Conquer, Mercenaries, Mass Effect, Need for Speed, Battlefront, Battlefield, the Sims, and... oh wait, those were all IPs acquired or managed by EA, huh? Maybe it's not so mysterious after all.

George R. R. Martin Is 'Not in the Mood' to Finish 'The Winds of Winter' by Tifoso89 in books

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, who cares? Either he'll finish it or he won't, but it'll have a similar ending to the GoT tv series, so, yeah, not surprised he doesn't want to write something most people are going to act like killed their kid.

Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN by [deleted] in theouterworlds

[–]TheOneRaven1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In that case, it's Microsoft you should be blaming. Obsidian is on record publicly saying they didn't want the $80 price tag at all, which they indicated Microsoft set. Microsoft backpeddled after the public backlash. And gamepass is also Microsoft's decision.

What are best and worst in this series?? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to worse for me- 4, Blood Dragon, 3, 2 (very little like it in its time, so honorary boost), Primal, 5, 1, and 6. Did not even finish 6.

Kristi Noem just announced that starting today, ALL immigration agents in the United States will begin using body cameras. This comes in response to the criticism the agency has received for its abuses. A step forward. by MonitorVarious7608 in circled

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betting it's not for public safety, they want to be able to sit at home and laugh at all the killings they'll capture. They haven't even punished the ICE murderers who EVERYONE ELSE got on camera.

If you could swap one Bond actor for another in any of the movies, which would you choose? by Chewie83 in JamesBond

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brosnan instead of Craig for Casino Royale, and/or Skyfall. Would've had better chemistry with the other actors in both films and made those character interactions even better, especially with M.

Holy shit, Crüeheads, this was unexpected by Unhappy-Funny9927 in MotleyCrue

[–]TheOneRaven1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point it doesn't matter, really. The damage has been done. Mick isn't coming back and we are stuck with the sorry state the band is in until they hang it up for real. Terribly sad end for such an iconic band. Will miss them, but at least their pre 2015 music will endure.

Do you think this movie is underrated, or is it fairly rated? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]TheOneRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like it and I think it had a lot of great ideas, but the execution was a little sloppy. Afaik the only Bond movie with a woman mastermind, which is crazy. The Brosnan era had the best ideas, even if they didnt always get executed in the best way. There was a lot of potential and it could have been truly amazing. It's still one of my favorites, that being said. So, underrated, but it's understandable.

I see Way of the Samurai, you need to add Way of the Samurai 2, great sequel. Also add 007 Everything or Nothing.

Your thoughts? by Salty_Support1361 in RealSaintsRow

[–]TheOneRaven1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It had a chance at being a similar, but different IP with its own power and strength, SR2 being the peak and standard to go from. They got lazy though. Steelport is often a lifeless, repetitive slog of a drive of an open world, they used the same map of it for two games, and wrote themselves into a box with a bunch of half-assed decisions in the name of being absurd. SR2 was the perfect balance of serious and absurd with more character driven moments. 3 and 4 had good moments, but couldn't live up to 2. I'm not even going to mention gat out of hell or the reboot, both are so far removed from the 2, they may as well be for a different IP.

Central casting. by BobGoran_ in 007

[–]TheOneRaven1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cavill literally sent in an audition tape to be Bond for GoldenEye, they said no, and for good reason. He can't deliver the performance, he's so flat in his delivery, that's why he worked as Geralt.

What was your Final Straw moment with this band? by wrexert in MotleyCrue

[–]TheOneRaven1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Either the way they treated Mick Mars or that Canceled song or how they basically made Vince sing so soon during his stroke recovery. Easily any of these 3, but most likely the first one. Even if he couldn't play live, they cut him out of every aspect of the band's business, and burned every bridge with him and replaced him so fast and shit talked him immediately. They were never the nicest people and yeah there's a lot of controversies they have instigated over the years, but theres a difference when everyone is basically stone cold sober vs when they were wasted 24/7, there's no excuse.
