The Destiny community has this weird love/hate relationship with the property. Closest thing to the Star Wars or Star Trek fans.

Based on the original trailer, they not only eliminated PvPvE, they also removed a whole character, “The Hood”.

OG trailer:

I felt bad for Lost World, because Crighton went out of his way to write a novel that was a sequel to the first movie, not the first book, and then Spielberg just basically ignored it like it never happened.

I wanted to not see the chameleon dinosaurs, damn it!

Ever hear of Prince Randian, “The Human Caterpillar”? Born with no arms, no legs.

Married, had 5 kids.

By specifying first person shooters, they are ignoring all the dual analog games that started coming out in 1996.

People forget the first Playstation dual analog controller:

But primarily used in shooters for space sims like Colony Wars or mech combat like Iron Soldier, which aren’t first person shooters.

Pre-dating this was Sega’s Virtual-On arcade machine in 1995:

Banks are (mostly) free…

Personally, I think GamePass is a terrible idea.

The money developers get for GamePass “sales” isn’t enough to keep them in business, look at Tango Gameworks, who did Hi-Fi Rush. Great game, well received, lots of players.

Studio closed 4 months later.

If someone like Tango can’t survive on a game like Hi-Fi Rush, it doesn’t speak well for the business model.

So what you end up with are fewer games and lower quality games, it’s a race to the bottom.

Also, the push to digital only reduces the footprint in stores, so when people go to buy consoles, all they see are a bunch of old games, or (worse) no games at all, as we see in the Xbox section in Target and Walmart recently.

So GamePass encourages fewer games, lower quality games, a reduced footprint at retail, and ultimately, lower sales.

How much was it before it was $29.99 a month? 🤔

Looks like it was $19.99 a month until they raised it to $29.99 6 months ago.

Still an extra $3 a month though!

Bad time to point out that Lennon, Ghandi, MLK, and Harvey Milk were all assassinated?

Not sure who Anna represents… Politkovskaya? Murdered.

If you’re going to include pack ins like Wii Sports then Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper smoke everything…

It is broken into parts so you can watch it in episodes like a TV show.

The OG cut was universally hated, the Snyder cut is actually pretty acceptable. Other than being 4 hours long.

For what it’s worth, I’m in the US Amazon app on Android and it states “96 customer reviews”.

Once I unchecked the box requiring verified purchases, it does in fact show 96 reviews.

Never been a fan, but it’s basically a modern day RPG. Roll it to the future and you get Cyberpunk 2077.

I’ll get my mace.

Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.

Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.

You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.

I was disappointed they didn’t mention Deadpool and Wolverine even once, but checking the date, the article was 2023 and the movie 2024…

Quite a few games as a service games look like they could have been turned into interesting single player story based games if, you know, someone bothered to write a story for it.

Brink for example had fantastic art assets and back story, but no actual story.

Pretty sure the cops won’t buy that excuse…

More important is if the game looks and runs well.
