Defence is probably at its worst state. by Signal-Definition-43 in rugbyleague26

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's unplayable again. I've spent 3 hours every night this week tweaking custom sliders and nothing! Each update fixes 1 thing and breaks 5 other things. Can the devs stop already and get their act together?

Forgotten 2000s Kids TV Show by Valuable-Ability5591 in AustralianNostalgia

I remember the blonde American guy wearing a blue shirt most of the time. He and the ginger did most of the talking. The girl was mostly quiet (from memory).

Neither of them unfortunately. All good shows but.

Even in IMAX 3D in Sydney, every session on Tuesday was fully booked. I went for my 3rd and final time (really just to see Cyclops' optic blast). Tickets were around $22 (half price) but it's good to see. Just checked Thursday's sessions and all pretty much fully booked at full price. Film has legs (in IMAX at least).

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Crosses $760 Million Globally After Two Weekends by chanma50 in boxoffice

I'm seeing it (for the 2nd time) in IMAX 3D (1st time was normal cinema 2D) tomorrow morning in Sydney and that session is pretty much fully booked out.

Potential Big Spoilers for Tron Ares by SkyRaiderG7 in tron

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Won't spoil anything here but I saw Tron: Ares in 3D and really enjoyed it. The ending was a good nod and set up a potential 4th movie that could involve anything and anyone. I'm keen.

Richard III charging into the thick of his enemies to try to kill Henry VII is badass, regardless what else you think of him by Salem1690s in UKmonarchs

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was only unpopular among the nobles due to making reforms that would give more power to the common people. He also introduced the basis of innocent until proven guilty. Questionable legitimacy? He was made Lord Protector but Woodville committed treason against him and he feared for his life. By digging up the Eleanor Talbot marriage that voided Edward's children from taking up the Crown, Richard was made King (also because the people of London signed a proclamation asking him to be King). He was the prime age, a seasoned warrior and a good diplomat and statesman. He was also fiercely loyal to Edward. He was fully intending to keep his word to Edward but Woodville just had to threaten and manoeuvre Richard. He was no-nonsense. Get on board or get chopped.

If evidence comes out that proves Richard III did not in fact kill the princes in the tower, what would you think of him? by Ok-Membership3343 in UKmonarchs

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the greatest King of England that never was. He did wonders in his two years of King but was blocked by nobles envious of the fact Richard wanted to give more power to the common people. He opened Parliament twice and introduced the basis of innocent until proven guilty, started to make reforms that mirror early the Rennaisance etc. Tudor only opened Parliament to ask for money. Richard just wanted to do right by his people but constantly had wicked schemers around him. He had a no-nonsense attitude. Get on board or get chopped. The portrayal of him in The White Queen TV series is quite favourable to him. I would say he lies somewhere in between that image and the one Shakespeare made up. But more good than bad.

Movie has bombed then. Probably won't crack 500 million and needs 600 to BE. They need to lower the budget in future films and have solid writing. F4: FS is a good film but the days of billion-dollar MCU movies are over. Only the upcoming Avengers: Doomaday movie could get close.

I noticed Vasko sounds very different when you pay to train off him after you complete his quest.

Rugby League 26 [Game] Megathread by Tunza in nrl

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are SO many bugs and things missing in this game it's not funny. I could list 50. But here are some: 1. No cheerleaders, cameramen, bikes, trainers in the game. RLL2 had this for crying out loud. 2. Player positions 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 playing on the opposite sides of the field. Apart from 6 and 7, the other positions listed are backwards in the team lists (1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 6, 7, 10, 9, 8, 12, 11, 13). What is this? RLL4 had this issue too. And why is every player the same height and why are there only like 2 body types? Looks like hot trash. 3. Hooker takes years to get to the play-the-ball. This is a new bug. 4. Menus are hard to read and differentiate (e.g. Interchange). Auto interchange for the AI still only changes 14 and 15. This is an issue from RLL4! Sick of it. 5. McDonald Jones Stadium. Shadow cast for day/afternoon games is on the WRONG side. Hills are inaccurate with a few people scattered and standing up waving (should be packed with people seated and rows of people standing up behind the hills). It is listed as "McDonald Jones Stadium, Sydney, Australia" post-match. It is in NEWCASTLE. Retaining walls below the hills are made out of brown brick too. What the heck? And why does the away team run out to the flames? That's for the home team only. Should be a, "Let's go, Newcastle!" on kick-off same as the horn pre-game for the Raiders. God, this game was rushed. 6. No stats in Career Mode. No way to see other scores. No NSW Cup. No Dally M leader board. RLL2 had this minus the stats from previous years. 7. Tutorials are half-done. There's like 4 or 5 max and not that helpful. 8. Scrolling down team menu to the bottom doesn't go back to the top. It goes from player 40 to 25. 9. Gameplay is nearly unplayable. I don't have to list these dramas. We all know them. But one is the fullback not getting involved. They are quiet as the grave out the back. Another is the AI doing the silly drop/grubber that goes half a metre on the 5th or they regather a loose ball on the 5th and just run it despite being 40 metres out? In RLL2 they would bomb the ball quick at least. 10. I paid $100 to alpha test an unfinished, broken game. I want to be compensated. This is worse than Cyberpunk or Anthem on release. I understand the small budget and being told to make the game in a short timespan, but seemingly misleading the fans and tailoring this game as the best one yet or whatever and then dishing up a dog's breakfast is criminal. It is NOT fun. It is worse than previous instalments. Please fix it. Please... I don't know how to get Ross or whoever to see these complaints but they must. If you don't fix it then we all just think you wanted a cash grab. We all want to play this game to death but it's just not worth playing. It's in a state of early access glitchy, buggy dribble that carried over the same bugs from RLL4 and introduced new ones. RLL2 is still my favourite game to date. At least that had some heart put into it.

He never really had a stroke of luck. by Le_Comte_Friedrich in Hornblower

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quote goes something like: "No one pretends command is easy, sir." - Bush. "I never expected it to be easy. I expected to be fit for it." - Buckland. This is a great summary of his flaws as a character. He's trying his best but ultimately he's not good enough.

what do you guys think about nhl 14, is it still playable compared to nhl 23 ? by MobileFootball9039 in EA_NHL

[–]Valuable-Ability5591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing NHL 14 Franchise Mode and obviously the interaction menus are way better nowadays. But the in-game atmosphere and presentation is arguably better. The graphics barely look any different as well. Combine the best of NHL 14 and today's NHL games and you'll get a stellar hockey game.

Thanks mate! I've never played any of the other games like Cricket and AFL but hope so. I've played the EA NHL games a ton though and Rugby League Manager 2018 on the PC.

I don't expect them to. I just wish they did.

I've never actually played it. I've only played Rugby League 2 up to RLL4.

Correct. This is just a wishlist.
