  1. I think I'll watch this some day when I get funimation's service.
  2. I died once on those platforms too because of a mis-timed jump. Just wait until raids come out. If Bungie focuses entirely too much on raid content like in Destiny 1 they'll loose all their casual players again. If they want to nerf turbines for the sake of casual retention, they might start nerfing everything else to appeal to the masses with the most money to spend. Then again, this is just them telling people they'll make fixes to ensure pre-orders stay in place. Once the game ships and they have the money I doubt they'll do small tweaks like this again. This could also just be vg247 turning a small dev comment into an entire article because they have a couple huge destiny fans there. I remember during the height of Destiny 1, they had at least 2 Destiny articles a day and a guaranteed Xur inventory update article every friday.
  3. ROTFLMAO! I died once on the turbine because I jumped right into that second turbine before I realized what was going on. But even as a hunter with crap jumps for height I had no problem with the area since it was pretty straight forward. I like this dev comment tho: Dev: "Its an outdated build, thats already been fixed." *jots down notes, 'nerf turbine room'*
  4. I bought a used 500gb super slim PS3 today from gamestop. Damn that thing is quiet compared to my old 120 gb slim one. Before my old ps3 died it sounded like a box fan even tho I've cleaned it repeatedly over the years and it had no dust build up in it. With all the free games I've been getting from PS+ over the past couple years, I think I'll install some to check out now that I have the hard drive space to install them. I didn't even realize I owned Beyond good and evil hd remaster. That sequel trailer for ps4 looked good. I might give it an hour and see if it holds my attention... after I play Uncharted 4.

  5. I finally got around to watching this. I enjoyed it, but its once again another origins movie. I'm burned out on origins movies which makes this pretty much a once off movie. Decent to watch once, but then its only good for rewatching for a few key action scenes. After reading @Strider Hiryu's spoiler comments I agree with alot of them, but not as much of the negative ones since I'm not nearly as familiar with the property. Until I read his comments, I had no idea Ishikawa and Borma where even in the movie. I didn't even notice them. That old man did a hell of a job and Batou was portrayed great to me. I was iffy about Scarlett Johansson playing the major but she did a decent job with the plot she had to work with. The origins aspect of her character was a bit meh tho. But that ending fight scene was spectacular.
  6. This looks amazing and actually resembles the book. It is one of my favorite books of all time. One of the best horror novels I've ever read. The mini series all those years ago was decent but didn't cover hardly anything that took place in the book. I'm hoping this movie shows It in it's other forms since it wasn't always a clown. Werewolf, zombie, massive spider.. It is the embodiment of fear. It just so happens that creepy clowns seem to be universally feared.
  7. This show has turned into crap really fast. After the first 3 episodes theres no longer any focus on monsters. Instead "the mist" is screwing with everyone's minds when they're exposed to it. It causes some people to go crazy and murderous, others see a dead relative that talks to them, others start bleeding randomly like it's acid. This is beyond dumb and its turning into a human versus human show that keeps focusing on bad characters and shitty plot lines instead of being a show about survival like the book was all about. In the book, a US government military research facility had a horrible accident and whatever science experiment they were performing got completely out of hand. The result was a breach between worlds. "The Mist" is actually the atmosphere from a different planet stretching over our own. And as the mist expands, the creatures that reside from that world are coming with it. In the book, all these creatures are extremely alien monster like and hostile and feed off each other. They covered it in the movie correctly, but the ending was horrible. In this series however I'm quickly loosing interest since its nothing like the book except that there is a f*cking mist and an occasional monster creature. Out of the last two episodes the only monsters shown were a bunch of leaches that fell off a ceiling that killed a guy. Still no tentacle monster, massive flies the size of large dogs, no big ass spiders with acidic webbing.. no massive sky scraper sized walkers.. instead in the series theres a human shaped black mass creature that can appear and disappear and kill people by face sucking them.. wtf. In the book and movie there was nothing human shaped at all, it was all literally alien.
  8. Awesome! I'll watch it soon. I just checked amazon's page and it looks like people are complaining that there are no subs and mandarin only. x_x I'll wait for the bluray. lol.
  9. Those buffs sound really nice. Being able to launch up to high locations and still having an explosive to use will change him up alot.. same with being able to just spam two right after each other at a choke point.
  10. I told myself I'd never watch another M Night Shyamalan movie again.. and then I watched and enjoyed "The Visit" only to find out at the end of the movie it was one of his.. (Lady had already started it so I missed the opening credits). I guess if he can make something decent again I'll give this series a try too.
  11. That would have been hilarious.
  12. Fairy Tail is over.. and the final chapter was decent. No hentai fluff crap like I was expecting. Instead it had a nice retrospect back to the first handful of chapters of the entire series. As much as I hated and complained about the ending, I will miss this manga. Its hard to believe I've been reading it for 11 years. I'll have to pick up some other manga to read now.

  13. I set my dvr to record all eps and it recorded 12.. I went to start watching this and I realized the damn thing recorded 6 random episodes twice instead of recording all 12 actual episodes. I'll have to download them and watch it this weekend.
  14. The trailer seems a bit too campy, like something I'd expect from Guardians of the Galaxy. It looks fun, but it doesn't seem to stress any actual seriousness to the plot being hinted at.
  15. I'm assuming at the end of the trailer it'll be Superman since hes listed as being in the cast on imdb. lol. And somehow Lex Luthor is in this movie too with 3 female characters called "Lex Luthor's Guard". I'm guessing there will be a clip of him in jail surrounded by female guards. The action in this clip looks as good as an Avengers movie, but Batman riding around in his kill mobile is starting to feel like it'll be the equivilant of a James Bond car chase scene that has to happen in every movie hes in now.
  16. My PS3 died today. :( It was one of my favorite consoles of all time and the best bluray player ever. I tried everything to fix it except buy a new power adapter. If I buy a multimeter I can test it to see if thats the issue or not. But I'll probably be better off putting the $30 that would cost towards a newer model refurbished one. I would just get another ps4 for my living room, but I still have a bunch of ps3 games I still want to eventually play.

      You'll never play them. XD

      I left my PS3 on for its entire life. I never used that "off switch" in the back so it was always on low power or what ever it was called. I had a first gen launch day version. It actually got me more money on trade it towards the slew of PS4 games I got on the PS4 launch. thats pretty sad that a first edition was worth more than a newer slim because of the backwards compatibility.

      I might not ever play them, but it was the Final Fantasy 13 games. I could pick them up on steam now, but that PS3 was the best bluray player ever because of it's built in dolby digital surround sound decoder. With a bluray movie and my 5.1 speaker set up, that PS3 made my living room sound like a movie theater with massive bass. I think to buy a bluray player with that audio output would cost around $50, so I still think I'll spend the extra $50-$80 more and get a refurbished ps3 instead so I'll get the benefits of auto firmware updates, a 500 gb hard drive and access to all my games again.

  17. That fushion rifle looks incredibly effective. But that clip also shows how one sided the pvp matches are. He went on a 5 kill streak against a team of 4 people. The first one died, but because the map is so small he spawned close enough to the guy that killed him that he died a second time within 9 seconds of his first death. Whats really funny is right at the beginning of that clip he name pops up in the kill feed.. He died right at the beginning, spawned.. lived 15 seconds, died, respawned and died again 9 seconds later. That guy is averaging about 10 seconds per life.
  18. I was surprised at how many skippable mobs there were. The one portal jump area had enemies spawning behind us that we could basically out run to get to the switches and in the drill area itself i saw a bunch of cabal that were down on some lower ridges that looked out of place since we never had to engage them to proceed. Pvp is an even bigger disaster with those cool downs. In one round I got some heavy ammo from a spawned ammo location, then 3 seconds later I died without getting to use my sniper rifle. I respawned and the ammo is gone... And do my cool downs get reset? Nope. I have no heavy, no grenade and a crappy dodge to reload my gun while a Warlock hangs around his hp regen bubble and wrecks me 3 seconds away from my spawn location. on average i got 2 grenades per control match but i easily died and respawned as much as any cod game. The game will probably be alot of fun with a bunch of friends to play with and the campaign should be enjoyable and much longer than D1. The raids will probably be the highlight of the game again and might even have some cutscenes and more plot to go with them which will make playing with friends even more crucial if the raid lobby they have planned falls thru.
  19. I tried every part of the beta tonight with the hunter class. Destiny 2 looks good, but its not enough for me. The mechanics of the hunter are pretty much the exact same as in Destiny 1. I don't like that. I expect sequels to have new mechanics to make it more distinctive like how every god of war game has new weapons, spells, etc. I stuck with triple jump and still felt like I couldn't get enough height half the time compared to other players around me. Golden gun was decent with 6 shots but felt a bit underpowered against some yellow bar enemies. The dodge roll to instant reload my gun was nice, but the recharge of it, melee and grenades was so abysmally slow I couldn't get into any timed routine at all for when to use them. Arcstrider felt just like bladedancer except it had no auto targeting enemies that made bladedancer amazing. But its a horrible subclass to use seeing as every enemy now melees the hell out of us. So if that staff attack doesn't kill everyone near me it triggers everyone's melee and they pummel the hell out me. I switched back to golden gun after trying out the super only once. Onto the guns.. I hate that sniper rifles are a heavy now. Screw that. Theres so many areas where a sniper rifle would be beneficial and I have a whopping 6 bullets with half the enemies needing two shots to be killed. Makes the rifle almost pointless. Machine guns were horrendous and wouldn't kill anything before running out of ammo and needing a reload. Assault rifles would at least kill most enemies in a single clip easily, but hand cannons were superior damage. Sunshot was a great exotic but it felt so odd to swap from a hand cannon to another hand cannon. I didn't try out the grenade launchers tho. I really liked the initial mission and it felt more fulfilling than all of Destiny 1's plot. Although the traveler still did nothing to defend itself. Maybe they'll get into the plot about it in D2 and explain what it actually is. I was half expecting the guardian to instant die seeing as in Destiny 1 hes a re-animated corpse brought back to life via the traveler's light via a ghost. Maybe bungie won't ever mention that plot line again. The strike was enjoyable until one of the people in my strike team quit near the beginning and was never replaced until me and this other guy wiped at the last boss 3 times. We wiped at another part twice and when we both respawned it skipped us to the next checkpoint instead of letting us attempt it a third time. The strike had a horrible drop rate for ammo. I nearly ran out of kinetic ammo repeatedly and I got a total of 10 heavy ammo for my sniper rifle the entire strike. 10. wtf. Along with the recharge timers being so slow I felt like all I could do was keep shooting my alternating hand cannons at all enemies regardless of what range they were and regardless of whatever shielding they were using. It felt like Bungie took the strategy out of the weapon combos and now expect everyone to rush right up to mid range at all times while getting sniped by psions. Crucible being 4 vs 4 was a bad move. All a team needs is one hard core guy and the match is completely one sided like in the 4 matches I played. Whatever that one game mode was that required everyone to kill the enemy team or detonate the bombs is not enjoyable. Its YOLO. No respawn and for some reason a team mate can revive you after a 1 minute timer but each match I was in lasted no more than 1-2 minutes. Control had much smaller maps than in Destiny 1, probably to compensate for the lack of 4 extra players.. but as a result the spawn locations must be predictable because I felt like I was playing Call of Duty and getting killed every 15 seconds. x_x I'm glad I got to play the beta, that first mission was definitely enjoyable. Sniper rifles being heavy with limited ammo and no real diversity for the hunter class from D1 means this game would be just like playing D1 for me, in new locations, but with no sniper rifle secondary. ehh. Warlock and Titan probably feel more diversified but I didn't really play either of those classes in D1. A couple last things.. turns out arcstrider has some combos I didn't know about. This guy listed them all in this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/07/21/five-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-the-destiny-2-beta/#e5bb8506e3cf And the hunter's dodge roll instant reload seems so damn weak compared to the warlock's hp regen and the titan's shield. That shield was very useful, lasted a good 5-10 seconds and everyone could use it.. and then I dodge roll and save myself a whopping 2 seconds of reload animation. ummm.. ok.
  20. I'm tempted to read that spoiler now, but I'll wait. That would have been the best ending for that show.
  21. This is actually impressive and looks like the best netflix movie yet.
  22. A civil war with a bunch of action! Not bad, but I hope Lagertha survives or it could be the end of the series. I read over this article about Lagertha's potential death: https://moviepilot.com/p/vikings-lagertha-death/4173948 If she does die, the ratings might sink so low the show gets the axe.
  23. That actually looks decent, but Light is ugly as hell. He's supposed to be dating a pop icon modeling star, but he looks like he should have been cast as L. I don't understand why they're not showing Ryuk's face at all.
  24. Awesome. This season should be great and finish up the Negan arc. At the end of the trailer I'm assuming a time skip takes place. I don't see how these people can keep coming across endless enemies without eventually getting into a period of stability that could last for years. If he had a Rumpelstiltskin moment and everything was a dream it'd be the worst ending for the series. If it is a time skip, at least Carl will be re-cast if he's still alive and I wont have to look at that horrible hair anymore.
  25. Looks cool. I guess Valve made this teaser trailer? If not, the robotic voice is a complete rip off of their game Portal / Portal 2. Having 2 pilots was quite unique, but that plot line was covered quite well in the first movie. Time for better technology:
