    That's a bummer if true, but seeing as Dark Souls has been on PC, I'd wager they screwed up and jumped the gun, it'll come to PC too eventually, they just wanna sell PS5s this holiday and have at least one real PS5 exclusive for launch. That would be the only real interesting launch exclusive, and it's a remaster/remake of a PS3 game, it's still an incredibly dull launch for both consoles, nothing really worth a whole console purchase IMO.

    I see zero reason to get a PS5 at launch, Spiderman: Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West are both coming to PS4 too, I'll just play them on my PS4 Pro, Demon Souls is releasing on PC too. I'd just wait until next Christmas when there's an inevitable God of War Ragnarok PS5 bundle, the game doesn't even have a release date yet. Launch consoles are almost never worth it, this generations launch seems to be the most lackluster in history, there's zero real exclusives for either new console.

    I didn't get one either, which is a bummer, I really wanted this set. The swappable symbols and heads with different ear lengths really clenched it for me, the supreme suit looks good in black.

    I'm in for the Batwing too, the 89 Batmobile was fantastic!

    Got The Boys complete series in, just in time for season 2 on Amazon. At one point I had The Boys complete in individual issues, but over the years I lost over a dozen. Not a big deal, these six collected volumes are quite nice.

    I never played the original Hyrule Warriors but I'm in for this one on Switch! I haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game since, I think, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2? Been a good long while, this looks fun.

    Damn I read this earlier, MASSIVE bummer, I've loved this show for years now. Honestly though, I can't really say I'm that surprised, the show has had a sporadic, to say the least, run, for years now. It was fantastic while it lasted, this show kept viewers on their toes, characters were multi-dimensional and interesting, there were complicated little details and twists and turns throughout the series, it was amazing through and through. I did read it's cancelled, on CW, there's a chance we could at least get a TV movie or something else that finishes up the story, I wonder if Netflix can save the day and give us a proper finale?

    That isn't a plot hole, what happened was the truth, Homelander would be replaced, he's a product. Him threatening to go somewhere else was a bluff, and he was called on it immediately, he's not going anywhere. While other corporations that handle supe contracts exist, there's a reason we haven't heard much to anything about them, they aint crap, and Homelander knows it. It's like if Tom Brady, in his prime, quit the NFL to play in the AFL, he'd still be Tom Brady, but nobody would give a crap. Homelander knows damn well he'd be replaced in a week, there'd be a new leader of The Seven, and there would be a new Vought approved and marketed #1 supe in the world, even if it isn't true on a physical level in any way, Vought would sell it that way, it would become public opinion, and that would be that. Homelander could kill and take what he wants, but that's not his public image, he's still a good guy, the best guy, all of his murder and devious crap was on the down-low, hidden, and covered up, by Vought no-less. Not a single other corporation has that power and influence, and he knows it, once again, he aint going anywhere. Outside of Homelander going full dictator and taking over the world by force, and just openly becoming a monster and a bad guy, there's not a single thing he can really do. That back and forth he had with Stan was fantastic, it was pretty damn close to what we see in the comic, he is essentially the Joker to Homelander's Batman, there's nothing Homelander can do with all his strength and power, it means nothing to Mr. Edgar. Homelander did what Homelander does when Mr. Edgar tells him off, he shakes and gets red in the face, then storms off like a fragile little baby, much to the amazement of literally anyone watching, not a single other person on the planet can do that to Homelander. Loving the new season so far, Stormfront is great! I was wondering how they'd handle him, or her now, and if we'd see shades of the comic counterpart on the show, definitely appears so!

    I saw Suicide Squad was leaked as Rocksteady's next game a while back, very cool trailer, very fun. Once again, this has got to be outside Arkham continuity, Deadshot was white in the Arkham series, so at least they aren't beholden to that universe they already built. I need more details, WB is already doing their own coop Arkham style game, announced today as well, gotta see how the two differ, maybe full four player coop and no RPG nonsense in Suicide Squad?

    I absolutely love the Batman Arkham games, the whole series is nearly perfect, I even loved Origins and it's doomed multiplayer mode, I got every achievement for every game. I don't know how to feel about Gotham Knights. It's definitely as WB promised, it's not a sequel to Arkham Knight, Bruce died at the end of that, so this seems to be a soft reboot almost, it's obviously using the visual style and aesthetic from the Arkham games. Gameplay looks to be about the same as well, the predator takedown sections and the combat seems to be the same free flow style as well. It's the just numbers, the RPG stuff, I just don't know how to feel about that. I played the Marvels Avengers beta and it's exceptionally meh, I really, really hope this isn't that, another live service beat'em up game, with loot, and heavy repetition, and micro transactions.

    Nobody is angry or shocked, as you said and as everyone has already acknowledged, that's clearly the direction Takara is and has been going, it's just every new release a lot of folks like to air their grievances with the line, and their disappointment that this was a line many were buying before, and are not now due to a distinct change in aesthetic and design direction. I'm honestly super happy with the Siege stuff I've purchased. I didn't plan of getting anything from Siege, I don't do mainline stuff, MP only and I finished my collection a while ago now. but Siege has been fantastic, design and aesthetic. I think Siege gave birth to one of the finest mainline figures ever released, Jetfire/Skyfire. Honestly, if I didn't already have FansToys Phoenix/Skyfire/Jetfire, I probably wouldn't flinch too much at using Siege Skyfire/Jetfire as an MP stand-in, Siege has been a really fantastic line of figures, I haven't bought in on and been happy with mainline Transformers since Prime.

    Oh no, the original was pulling for $700-900 on average on the aftermarket, I don't think when this one sells out it will climb that high that quickly, but it will definitely be well above retail when it sells out, Most MonsterArts non-Gozilla baddies sell out quick, and blow up in price quicker on the aftermarket, finding Godzilla baddies on clearance hasn't happened since Moguera.
  13. Tking22
    Better to grab one now at retail if you want one then wait and it sells out, once this one's gone aftermarket prices will be back at $600+ in no time. I grabbed mine, zero chance I'm missing out again.

    Lego NES finally arrived, definitely looking forward to this build. I can't decide if I want the grand piano next, or the 89 Batmobile.

    It's this. I get that perspective, really, really bringing the toon to life, being able to pick it up and move and transform it, it's just not something I've ever had an interest in. Watching the cartoon as a kid I knew the cartoon was crappy looking, my parents mentioned it often enough, a lot of cartoons were crappy looking, in my mind they obviously looked "real" in real life. Clean lines, clean logos and paint, they looked like real cars in vehicle mode, with all that real detail sprinkled throughout their G1 cartoon silhouette. I never wanted toys that looked like the cartoon as a kid or now, I wanted and like them to look how they would have looked in real life. I know a lot of folks are tired of this opinion, but I liked the Hasui stuff better, aesthetically both modes were pretty much exactly what I wanted out of a Masterpiece G1 toy. If Takara kept that style going with all of their modern techniques and engineering, I'd have purchased far less third party and I'd be far more interested in new MP news and announcements. I think Inferno did it in for me, it was just so, so plain in both modes, vehicle in particular hurt my soul, it was chrome free firetruck, save bumper.

    Got some mecha anime on bluray. I missed out on the Patlabor box set when it first released, definitely couldn't miss out on the July restock.
  17. Tking22
    Does True Lies count? True Lies is great, and Jamie Lee Curtis is a beyond real, drop-dead gorgeous bombshell in it.
  18. Tking22
    Done and done, Lego Nintendo console ordered.

    I finished the new season earlier today, loved it, really fun, great energy throughout, great soundtrack too. Definitely a bit slow in the first few episodes, a lot of stage setting, then really picks up. Definitely a great finale, really looking forward to season 3.

    Yeah I got my platinum last week, the trophies are cake, like Horizon Zero Dawn, which I like. Eventually we'll get a New Game+ with a hardest difficulty trophy, I'll return to the game then, maybe do Kurosawa mode for the whole run.

    Looks awesome, I'm excited to get my hands on Spidey and his bot.
  22. Tking22
    Yeah I saw some in hand pics yesterday that I was hoping weren't real, appears they definitely were. Also, apparently the suit is really bad, the guy who got his early had to remove a bunch of cotton from the suit to make it sightly less terrible.

    Yeah my Figuarts Endgame Thanos already looks almost exactly like that, I bought the Takasa Tony Thanos arm and sword kit, so yeah, basically identical already. I take it Fat Thor is a regular release, the previous one was TWE, this one will probably be easier to get, only difference I'm seeing is lightning effects, so another pass for me as well. Just give us the damn Endgame Iron Patriot already, that's the big one most fans are waiting on.
  24. Tking22
    Yeah that piano is pretty incredible, but pricey, I'll have to think about this one. Chill Lego, you're doing too much cool stuff.
  25. Tking22
    I guess I mostly forgot about all that, I wasn't as in to X-Men at the time. I remember the MvC disappointment, I never really noticed the deliberate lack of other merch. I'm glad we're beyond all that, X-Men toys are really having a new golden age right now, everyone is doing some amazing X-Men stuff. I'd like to see a Mezco Nightcrawler, I'm hoping Gambit is solid.
