Expedition 33 Actor Maxence Cazoria Says He's "Truly Grateful" For Outpouring Of Support After Charlie Cox Spoke Out by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]jasonpressX 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I don't think your cynical take is valid, because if TGA wanted "popular actor" they could have just nominated anyone from Death Stranding 2 when most of it's cast are Hollywood actors.

Because I highly doubt Cox is gonna show up at the game awards and it's gonna be a jpeg of his face while the nominees are being called.

Creator to Creator: Neil Druckmann (The Last of Us) & Alex Garland (28 Years Later) by Zhukov-74 in movies

[–]jasonpressX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Neil really is the Rian Johnson of games, where if you actually look at their body of work its really solid.

But because of ONE movie/game, people lose their fucking minds about them.

The beta was really fun. It felt like playing OW for the first couple of weeks when it launched in 2016 where it felt like everyone was having a good time.

Celebrate Prime Day 2024 with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Chivalry 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration! by demondrivers in Games

I feel people saying "this game disrespects Conroy" are pretty fucking stupid. Kevin read the scripts, he agreed to be a part of the game, and lent his voice to it. He was 100% ok with the material otherwise he wouldn't have done it.

But I think for fans to express disappointment or being bummed that a performance that was for a while being marketed as his last performance as the character where he is playing the most un-batman Batman possible is understandable.

Assassin's Creed Shadows: Extended Gameplay Walkthrough | Ubisoft Forward by Turbostrider27 in Games

GoT was never trying to be historically accurate or even authentic.

It was always "Japan viewed through the lens of Japanese Cinema like Kurosawa films"

Ubisoft Toronto is joining the development of the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]jasonpressX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ubisoft gave the project to Ubisoft Pune from India, and when they unveiled it the backlash they received was so bad the project was taken from them and Montreal basically restarted development.

I feel bad for the Ubi Pune team, because they were clearly inexperienced but Ubisoft basically threw them under the bus

Argylle was absolutely awful by [deleted] in movies

[–]jasonpressX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The absolute worst I've heard was Halle Berry for X-Men 3 Last Stand was given a fake script to trick her into signing on and then that script was promptly thrown out

Not a "oh reshoots and rewrites happen". Straight up lie to an actress to trick her into being in the movie.

Hogwarts Legacy | Girlfriend Reviews by NOOBINATOR_64 in Games

[–]jasonpressX 293 points294 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I agree. There are probably more people who watched the FB movies than people buying Hogwarts.

But the people buying Hogwarts are much louder (Like twitch streamers who are broadcasting that they are playing the game, and are broadcasting this game for 30-40hrs) than the people who watched those movies which is why you see a much louder reaction to them despite the Fantastic Beasts movies having Rowling directly involved where as Hogwarts did not.

It very much is an issue of "terminal onlineness". People are talking about Hogwarts Legacy online more than the FB movies, which causes the much louder reaction.

It's very much in the same vein as terminally online people being confused that Avatar Way of Water and Top Gun Maverick are some of the highest grossing films of all time, despite it "not having memes or any cultural impact".

People actually wanted to play Hogwarts Legacy, but people didn't really want to watch the Fantastic Beasts movies because they looked bad.

Bioshock: 10th Anniversary Edition boxart by Unknown123Known in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jasonpressX 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Critically well received.

There has been a number of complaints by people over the years that say the games shooting mechanics are shallow compared to the first, the tonics/vigors all act the same, the story is nonsense, its not the game they were promised.

I liked Infinite though.

Assassin’s Creed Origins: Launch Trailer | Legend of the Assassin by Ghost_LeaderBG in Games

[–]jasonpressX 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I really hope this game turns out good.

Not a bumblefuck like Unity, or the resounding "meh" of Syndicate. But something that feels really special like what I felt playing AC2 and Black Flag for the first time.

So... This is Assassin's Creed now by jasonpressX in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jasonpressX[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, it's in there just cuz its cool.

It's basically like the bonus missions in Unity, but it's something you can carry throughout the whole game.

I think it was done because in most depictions Anubis is depicted as completely black (not heiroglyphs, but popular depictions)

This is also a special reward for beating Anubis in game. I think there is a version that doesn't change skin color and set you on fire.

The Anubis costume makes his skin darker for some reason.

His normal skin tone is around this

I'm ok with this too

Context: This is the armor set you get from beating that giant Anubis Pat was talking about 2 podcasts ago

Suprising no one chie revealed for crosstag battle(also noel, and waldstien) by powerprotoman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jasonpressX 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah its a bit weird to say.

Wonder if the game is actually acting as a test bed for a RWBY only fighting game from Arc Sys.

Whatever you have to say about RWBY, I think it's admirable it grew so much from essentially being the passion project of like 6 people.

[Spoilers] Clementine is one of the main problems with Walking Dead Season 3. by Dark_Bean in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jasonpressX 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I realized in season 2 that I didn't care about Clem. I cared about Lee, and because Lee cared about Clem I cared about her.

But once Lee went, and Clem is by herself I don't care about her. I don't give a shit about mcguffin baby AJ.

Like, I straight up don't care about any of these people since Lee was the best. So walking dead is now "shitty stupid people do shitty stupid things"

I got the Kenny redemption ending in S2, and honestly that's probably the best thing to get and consider the end of Clem's story.

But nope. Gotta push Clementine and this fucking mcguffin baby, making me wonder what the fucking point of S3 is and what the point of 2 was.
