I am genuinely disappointed that Cloak and Dagger is cancelled. It's far from a perfect show but I enjoyed it a lot and was hoping that season three would bring us a full fledged cloak and dagger pair in their prime after the conclusion of season two.
Obviously Runaways is going to end at season three which I won't miss. I'm actually surprised it got a season three in the first place.
Hopefully Lord Feige can at least continue C&D on D+ with the same cast.

The Star Wars music has never meant too much to me. I mean, it's iconic as hell but it's never really got me. But this one, wow. This rendition just has so much majesty. A very fitting theme to close out the saga.

The tweet is lies, damn lies and statistics.
https://twitter.com/tvisgreat/status/1186452503942045696QuoteThat’s because Atom Tickets is actually working tonight unlike the morning Endgame came out.
I knew there must have been something else to that. I expect this will do well but I don't think it'll end up anywhere even close to Endgame. Unless this turns out to be a seriously amazing movie and has serious legs. I do very much enjoy Mr Abrams's work but I don't think any movie maker out there would be able to fix what was broken and wrap it all up in the same movie.

I have two Pro Controllers, one of which was bought at the Switch launch. Both are working just like the day I took them out of the boxes. I wholeheartedly recommend picking one up.

Well given the general quality of these shows I am fully expecting the latter. I think they are swinging well above their weight here but hey, the stupidity of it all will be worth the time on its own.
I fully expect to be screaming much annoyance at my TV on every single part of the crossover.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Link's Awakening - Remake, Re-release or Direct Sequel campaign?
« on: October 12, 2019, 01:07:52 AM »I've found your reaction pretty fascinating and wonder how many other first time LA players might feel the same way.
From thoughts I've seen on other forums it seems to be quite divisive. The majority opinion in my experience is praise though.
I have no doubt that if I had played it in previous releases I'd be drawn in a lot more with the nostalgia factor. I can certainly understand why classic players love it. But it's just not for me.

Birds of Prey trailer.
I think it looks like a bit of fun. I don't know if I'll bother in the cinema, but I'll quite likely see it on home release.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Untitled Goose Game: The Goose Is Loose!
« on: September 28, 2019, 04:47:49 AM »
This game seems to be in the same basket as Goat Simulator. A nonsense game made for streamers and YouTubers. It's essentially a glorified puzzle game.
Having said that, it's a very well made game. There seem to be multiple ways of fulfilling your objectives and there's a lot of attention to detail in there. But there's no longevity at all and it won't be long at all before it's passed by the next cute novelty.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Link's Awakening - Remake, Re-release or Direct Sequel campaign?
« on: September 28, 2019, 04:43:18 AM »One thing that really helps Link's Awakening's reputation is the context of its release.
A Link to the Past's reputation is, I think, pretty self explanatory. Link's Awakening is essentially a sequel to LttP.
Interesting. I never knew any of that. It certainly sheds some light as to why it was lauded so. Obviously, the circumstances now are very different to when it was released so the appeal that came from all the context is absent. It seems to be relying heavily on nostalgia and the subsequent rose coloured glasses. But these things don't make the game objectively better. To me it seems a questionable decision to spend money to make it at all.
So then, why remake it? I have a theory.
I actually think this game was made primarily as a mule to carry the new dungeon builder feature. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Nintendo are very carefully monitoring the response to it and if it's well received I fully expect to see a full Mario Maker style Legend of Zelda: Dungeons game release.
They seem to be quite into the whole 'let the people do it' approach with the two Mario Maker games. It makes sense, why should Nintendo pay people to design levels/dungeons if they can get the community to pay them to do it instead? It's easy money. Then they can take ideas from the higher rated levels to use in their own dungeons they make for future full titles.
Anyway, It seems ever since Twilight Princess (my favourite game of all time) my experience with the Zelda franchise has been very disappointing. Based on the teaser, the BotW sequel appears to be drawing elements from TP so hopefully I'll enjoy that. But if they ruin it I'll be mad as hell lol.

I still wish we had Luke Skywalker rematerialise in the Endgame final battle. Since he vanished at the end of the Last Jedi it would have been awesome to see him turn up. We could have seen Luke cut loose like we should have seen. Yeah I know it's completely stupid but still would have been such fun.

I also just finished it. I actually have a favourite part. Specifically: the "The End" screen.
I just hated it and will never be playing it again. I am genuinely amazed, and confused that this game has received so much praise.
The only redeeming facets of the game are the interesting art style and the well designed dungeons but they weren't nearly enough. I loathed everything else.
The lesson this remake has taught me is to completely ignore any forthcoming 2D remakes. They are evidently not made for me.

I have no idea where to actually put this given the recent corporate nonsense that's been going on, but given that FFH is still in the MCU I guess this is the most appropriate place.
We can go about our lives much safer now thanks to Mr JJ Jameson launching a Daily Bugle website. His benevolence is truly a gift no one was expecting.

Well Unclebob got his wish.
Sorry for bringing up such an old thread but I wanted to see if there was an existing one before creating a new one, and this one is as good as any I suppose.
_____
I'll preface this by saying that I've never played classic Link's Awakening. The remake is my first experience with the game.
Given how much praise I've seen for it here and elsewhere I assumed it was going to be a great time. I'm a few hours in and I am thus far very disappointed. I suppose the biggest issue I have is summed up in a single word...."Why?"
I don't know if I've missed something huge, but I have no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing. Why didn't I just roll back over in bed when I woke up? Why have I decided to embark on this epic quest? Why am I mercilessly striking down castle guards who are just doing their jobs, and stealing golden leaves for some person I've never met and doesn't explain why he should have them over their current owners?
The gameplay itself seems fine, but my questions just pull me out of it every time. Especially the above mentioned example of the castle. Given that I haven't been told who's in this castle and if they are deserving of some punishment I assumed that portion of the game was going to be a stealth section, (similar to getting to Zelda in OoT). Then one of them sees me and just starts attacking me. I initially didn't want to fight back because this is just some guy doing his 9-5 job, and I am the one who is trespassing. Yeah I know I'm overthinking this but that's just how I tick. I need a reason to do something, especially if that something involves killing people and stealing their stuff.
I'm very much hoping that there'll be some huge story dump at some time to give me a reason to care. But as things are currently I'm finding it very hard to keep playing it because I'm just not invested.

Erica Durance is also coming back as Lois Lane for the cross over.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if Dean Cain gets back into the tights in this event too.
