Sweet, thanks. I'll do some solo runs and try to get a feel for it before wasting anyone else's time. Happy to join up where I can though. :cheers:

Just picked this up. Never done an extraction shooter. Anything to focus on early on or just jump in and let the gaming gods be my guide?
Cool, yeah, I'll just do a run through of the story and shelve it for when my daughter decides she wants to jump back in to it. :cheers:

First 66% of the game I rated it a 9 for the fun of running around Hogwarts and the combat is fun. The last section drops it to a 7 for me.


I've heard this about it or something similar. I actually bought it for my daughter and she played for a while but I think it was too much for her. I have it so I thought I'd do a play through but thanks for the heads up. I'm still in the middle of Doom Eternal and I may finish that around the time Battlefield 6 drops so, depending on how that looks, I might have to get it.
I was having similar feelings a while back so I stopped playing Warzone, Rocket League, etc. and started focusing on back log and games I missed out on and it's been wonderful. I was always terrible about not finishing so I don't move on to the next game until I finish the whole story or 100% all trophies. Since April of 2024 I've knocked the following:

Witcher 3 (3rd replay but wanted to finally do it all)
Arkham Knight
Doom 2016
Doom Eternal (current)
Ghost of Tsushima
Days Gone
Spider-man 2
God of War Valhalla DLC
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Next up either Mass Effect Trilogy or Harry Potter Legacy

Hellboy 2 is Top 5


Honestly not sure what my top 5 would be but I feel like this is an accurate statement. Golden Army is severely underrated.
I enjoyed it, the family enjoyed it. There wasn't anything I was disappointed in, per se. I liked Corenswet far more than I thought I would and I feel like I haven't seen him specifically getting enough praise for coming in, post-Cavillgate, and nailing it. You can tell he really wanted to get the job done and I think he was tremendous.

Batman is going to struggle in this universe.


See, I feel like Batman, is going to have an opportunity to really thrive in this universe. Hopefully they don't waste it.

Yeah, I didn't expect my take to change minds(if they're already made up). As a 90's kid who dreamed of having these comics come to life on screen, I rarely complain for complaining sake. Some are great, some aren't, some stories are changed, some aren't. I lean into enjoying them rather than the opposite. To each their own I guess. I, personally, am very excited for this, Thunderbolts and Superman.

The trailer makes it clear. This is Norrin Radd's origin story.


I don't see how you could say that just based off the trailer. It also can't be said that it isn't. So it's a coin flip at this point until either something gets leaked about it or it's confirmed when the movie drops.
Why is the existence of soccer fields and the lack of a baseball/softball sports complex an indictment on soccer? There's plenty of space in Ascension. I do agree that there should be a complex like that in Ascension and it does make you wonder why one hasn't been built.
That's awesome. My buddy started laughing when I said it because he was thinking the same thing. We were at the hotel near Array.
This pretty much sums up how I felt last night. It feels perfect - with the exception of the TTK and cash/plates. Every loot box should have at least $100-$500 in it and 1 plate. But that's a small gripe. Like you said, the strategy was back to late 2020 feel, we were running contracts, actually rotating, etc.. Running up 10 flight of stairs again was wild but I liked it. Minimal complaints and I'm actually shocked it ran as well as it did on day 1.
Watched a few clips here and there but buddies are saying it feels great. Looking forward to jumping in tonight.

Hard day for the madmardigans of the world. RIP to the man. Kilmer was one of a kind.

He never owned it outright himself. He had 2 other partners - Bryan and Joe. He sold his portion to them and moved on last year.

Danny isn't an owner of Brickyard anymore. He's the GM of Var's pizza.
Grandmaster's melt stick from Ragnarok was pretty bad.
