I don't like Jessica Jones. I mean the over all show is fine but the lead is very unlikable. I get get that she's hurt, has PSTD and is hell bent on stopping Killgrave (I'm only on ep 6) but her crassness only goes so far in driving the show. Maybe she'll stop being such a dick later on but right now it's starting to wear thin.

They seem to be suggesting Rey is Luke's daughter, but I don't think so. I sort of felt that Rey might have been trained by Luke when she was younger, maybe at the academy at the same time as Ben, but was sent away protect her from Kylo Ren and Snoke once Ben turned. Maybe she had her memory and force powers suppressed and they were finally "awakened" after she got off Jakku. It just seemed that Han, Leia and Kylo Ren all knew who she was.




YES!

128
Disney Infinity thing is NOT a spoiler. Kylo does NOT say that. its safe
 

129
She has been trained to some degree. That staff she's carrying has Darth Maul old saber or something that is meant to look like an old Lightsaber Her parents, whomever they are has to put certain things into place to protect her, even training that she may have not realized was actually Force training. Plus Kylo Ren was just shot with a Tank Gun in the belly, of course she could be him.

The movie met my every expectation, but it didn't exceed any of them, and was a letdown in a few ways. I thought the pacing was good up until the second act, which dragged on ridiculously and went nowhere, and the third act felt way too rushed.

Finn was, by far, the best part of the movie, giving it a much needed sense of grounding. Rey, though I liked her, was WAY too much of a Mary Sue. Never flown a ship like the Falcon before, yet managed to do so with such little effort that she impresses Han Solo? Also just starts using Force powers without even having training and pretty much just basing them off of how she thinks they should work? I mean, I get it. The title of the movie clearly is directed explicitly towards her but she is the most adept force user I think we have ever seen in the series thusfar, and the fact that she's great at a number of other things doesn't help.

There were definite stakes when Han and Finn and Poe were on screen. Not so with Rey.

Other than that, I liked the movie. I am hoping Kylo Ren becomes even more of a monster in the future, right now he's just a BIT too emotional to me.






She's not a "Mary Sue" at all. The precedent was set way back in episode 1. Anakin Was a freaking genius. Building Droids from scraps, fixing Watto's junk, Podracing when no other known human can do it and flying in a strange ship through a blockade and blowing up a capital ship. AND HE WAS FREAKING 8 YEARS OLD! Rey is like 20 or something with far more life experience and the nature of the force is once you believe in it, it has you.

Its eye bleed fast on the Subsonic level which while impressive worries my future.




I also suck really bad at this game...


really bad

As much as they are differentiating from the EU, BEN SOLO is Darth Caedus. They could make Rey "Skywalker" work long as Finn still becomes the Hero he's meant to be by episode 9.


Also, how the hell Does Maz get Luke's original lightsaber?

133
It's the best standalone Star Wars film out of the 7 but in the whole of the saga its probably 3. Its good but its safe. Visually is damn near perfect with a perfect mix of old and new. Music was so-so except for Rey's theme which was great.


Kylo Ren is what Anakin Skywalker should have been in the prequels. Angst, anger, insecurity and entitlement. That dude is evil. I thought it was Ben Solo, not Skywalker?


Can we talk about who Rey is? I don't think she's a Solo or Skywalker.

The Force Awakens:


Is a very good film and classic JJ Abrams. He has a very punchy directing style that lends very well to the type movies he does. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and can't wait to sneak out of work next week to see it again.


**** YOU KYLO REN

However, this movie felt too safe and formulamatic. Very by the numbers way of telling a Star Wars film. It also lacked a bit of George Lucas'..."something". I don't know if he had anything to do with this film other than getting Han, Luke and Leia on board for the story he created but it needed something more of his. Not that I wanted him to direct this film, no not at all but I think Star Wars still needs its Master in some way.


**** YOU KYLO REN one more time

8/10

Never knew how many people prefer Clones over The Phantom Menace. The second half of clones is pretty good after Obi, Anakin Padme land on Geonosis, but teethe 1st half drags. TPM never excels above average at best but  it feels like a Star Wars movie.

Now that the game is out, can we tell if the texture work is that much better than other Wii U games? 4K/8K texures and all. I can't tell since I'm in the middle of doing a Wii U data recovery and my hard drive is currently offline.

139
what if they do like Twilight Princess and release the game on both consoles but they change art styles Wii U gets the cartooney Zelda to go along with Wind waker and the whole Wii U theme, and NX gets the real, hard core Zelda that will convince gamers NX is the real deal and they are withholding new footage to avoid a repeat of Wind Waker's original reveal.


The trailer from 2014 is one of if not the best looking game I've ever seen. Unless NX is doing it 1080p60 even still  it might not make a difference. NX would have to be a beast of PS4 plus level to make a difference in the visuals, to me at least.

140
You guys know I'm far from negative but it feels as if something catastrophic happened with the game. I hope I'm wrong.

141
HOW THE HELL IS THIS OK?!?!?  Yes, a rational person will say that the game is probably 6-9 months away at the very earliest so be patient. Others say "waiting for the NX side port" I haven't picked up XCX yet so forgive me but this has been a really shitty holiday for Nintendo with 2 of the big 3 titles delayed to next year. We still got some solid looks at Star Fox even with a 6 month delay. WHERE THE HELL IS ZELDA!?!? HOW THE HELL IS THIS OK?!?!

I actually love the curved edges on U discs. I hope it carries on to the next console. Just a nice little touch I wish they had been doing since they began using discs.


But the Next System is Cartridge based.




Ian please buy Wonderful101 to fill your Pikmin3 void (I know its not the same game or even the same genre shhhh)

143
This, if true is absolutely a handheld of some sort. Nintendo H.DS (powered by NX)




I don't know anymore.

The amount of Hype and Press this movie is getting is unprecedented. I have never witnessed anything like this. I get that its the sequel to Return of the Jedi, which still blows my mind but damn its EVERYWHERE! It might break 300 Million in the first weekend (5day total) Is there too much hype?

http://pressroom.target.com/news/target-reports-strong-start-to-black-friday-weekend-online-and-in-stores

#1 selling item at target.com - that might actually be just the #1 selling console, or I guess iPads are listed individually and not lumped together. Because if target.com sold an iPad every second, and Wii U actually sold better than that, then that's over 86,4000 sales in one day, on one website, which is extremely unlikely for our 32GB friend.


But Ian just bought a Wii U, anything is possible now..and I'm only half way joking. If $250 was what everybody was waiting for ...I doubt it but who knows? America loves an underdog story.

Well I bought a Wii U. 


This is truly a sign of the end times and the Wii U was the number one selling item on Black Friday @ Target (not a joke)


Honestly Ian, Welcome to the club. Mario Kart is damn near perfect. One of the systems MAJOR flaws is Disc Durability. Its not the bottom of the disc you have to worry about, its the top. Any game I have with the artwork scratched WILL NOT WORK. Check the Top of the disc for scratches if the screen gives you a "dirty" msg.

I didn't think "he" was in it but I"m guessing its possible since Thunderbolt is back in the picture.




Jessica Jones:


I only watched the first episode and while it has good production values and seemed like a decent start, I think its my lack of commitment to the character("Jessica Jones" not the actress) that has me "meh" on the show. Marco Polo and Daredevil had me from the 1st show. I'll stick with it

I personally think Black Panther's mask would look so much better if it looked like it was covered in the same material as the rest of the outfit.




The lighting is making the contrast more stark but I agree it should be a bit more uniform.


149
Is there any CGI in this game or is it all in game? Some of the shots I'm seeing look too good for Wii U but at the same time not good enough to be ps4/one. Limbo Graphics
