Sorry @GRiNET, but when you see someone with few posts proclaiming masterpieces for a game that has been pretty much forgotten and critique certainly didn't elect to masterpiece status… it's natural to think you're trolling. Especially in the days Crytek is in the news… for possible bankruptcy.

Also, just noticed you opened a new topic but we already had one on this (some mod can merge?)

I was playing but haven't finished Ryse, wasn't that engaging but will probably go back. Mainly I was deeply annoyed by the controller layout choice: why would you swap parry controls compared to the Batman games that are the standard for this kind of combat? Despite the prompts I couldn't get in the flow, this was really stupid choice. For the brief moments I managed to nail a combo was quite satisfying brutality.

I think the only way you can call it a masterpiece is considering how many times the game was rebooted and changed scope/target. Then I'd say that the "self configuring" multiplayer arena was a great idea, too bad that hardly anyone must have played the mp.

@2d-chris really sad you have to feel that way about something you worked on luckily you're clearly super happy where you are now

PS: @GRiNET the Thief that Dux mentioned was the very first one, not the last

PPS: @dux which occasions did C2 had QTE? I have amazingly forgot about that 0.o

The organisation's IT guy was down at ours centre this week, hopefully he fixed stuff so that my connection is more reliable and I can attempt to play multiplayer. Those maps are a… boner

Far from me to say that they're the ultimate movies to see @FrieChamp, but I still find them quite entertaining. Like others before me pointed out, these movies have turned out to be there comic adaptations, in the sense they flow almost like a TV show… doing that, keeping up with comics would be more time consuming and more expensive.

A little embarrassing, I haven't really contributed much in terms of ticket money as for unlucky work+girlfriend conjunctions I missed out on most of them and just resorted to download them.

Anyway, other than enjoying the movies enough, I think they are interesting stuff in terms of reference: character design, UI, set pieces… all stuff that can turn useful for videogame developers.

I've seen S1E1 when it was on the "pilot season", then was too long wait. When it came out I was into something else so now is in the pipeline.

I plan to catch up since I pay for Amazon prime but there's not much good stuff.

Small ot: I see they finally are releasing Sneaky Pete, which I thought would have made for a good filler but as well seemed wasn't going to happen.

Don't feed the troll

Surprisingly a game not covered here, despite all the spaaaace fans.

I would go on to say that this looks so much better than No Man's Sky, like you can actually do something out of the box without waiting months for an update. Not sure if is coop, but looks like it since they show 4 players.

Unfortunately is clarly another big time-sinking game, for which I surely not have time personally, but maybe others around here can be interested.

Miss Rick's snarkyness. And is made worse by missing out on the post that got him banned… need closure lol

IMAX with 3D?

I promised I wouldn't watch any more 3D movies after BvS, but the IMAX screens in my area only project in 3D.

This one I watched in "real 3D", the IMAX show was too long wait for my schedule.

I'm not sure how to rate this film, I mean I don't think it was super great, but my mind has been going back to it in the background. Also not being so heavy handed on that The Force shit that pervades the saga, it made it for a much more grounded and basically war-sci-fi movie.

I must say with personal surprise that I managed to spot several easter eggs myself, despite I don't see a Star Wars film in like 15 years! (how do i know? I checked some easter egg clips on YT)

Stuff like the blue milk was somehow familiar straight away and rang a bell the moment it came on screen. I recognised some verbal references as well.

After it happened a few times, I think it's safe to say that there's a bug for which when you edit a post, cutting and pasting a passage to alter the way a post reads, that causes the cut text to be bigger size when post is saved.

It happened only on mobile for me (iOS). I was only rearranging phrases, is not text coming from elsewhere that could be carrying formatting.

Like this.

I dunno, I'm a terrible person and I get upset for the animal killing rather than humans. I'm one of those cheering when bulls nail the torero.

Since my work in Africa, I changed my mind a bit on hunting, after all I used to fish with a spear gun, so if you're doing it for food I can tolerate, but there trophy hunting is disgusting. I dunno what the game is about but I assume it's exactly that, even if you're doing it for fun and not necessity. I was really annoyed it was a forced mechanic in FC.

In war if you don't sit they shoot you, an animal will steer well away.

So no, is not the same at all.

I can't wrap my head around hunting games. What's fun about them?

Can't wait, saw the trailer up in my stream and got all excited. Need to watch again on the big TV when I get back home tomorrow.

The best thing tho is that the movie is directed by my last year's favourite pick. I don't think Villeneuve had yet bombed one of his films.

lol, TopHatWaffle Easter egg there

My favourite character in the movie was Krennic, I think the actor playing it is great any film I've seen him in.

I've been tempted to buy the Revenant statue, after watching the Noclip documentary… they have so many cool figures in the office that makes me want to try to work with that kind of material.

Currently waiting for the endless ads to end. FFS the movie is indicated to start at 16:45… 30 min of ads. Pathetic.

Yeah reading that I was wondering how can someone live for 6 months without pay. Also who would stick around, I would leave before that with a same day notice I think.

Maybe it means they are not getting a full pay for 6 months, but something to pay the bills?

well said about the sins of investing in the wrong markets, although mobile can be profitable when you have these budgets to invest. Maybe they would have been better off doing investments the way Rovio has done, publishing small studios and others indies. As for VR I was surprised to see them investing so much (the games seem incredibly polished from the videos) since there's no install base to get a return.

What a dick move
