    Yeah definitely not a bad thing, Shadow of War/Mordor did it, Sleeping dogs for the combat, AC Origins and a dozen other games have borrowed "Detective Mode" from Arkham.

    I'd personally say I still believe the best Spidey game we ever got overall, gameplay and story, was Spider-Man 2 for PS2. Great Spidey game, even more impressive, it was a great movie tie in game, which historically, are usually completely awful.

    Might have to dust off my old PS4 for this, looks interesting, though to be fair, it also looks like the Batman Arkham games with a Spidey skin on it, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Already pre-ordered the day he went up on BBTS, he looks damn good IMO. He seems to have split people down the middle as far as whether they like him or not. Some are turned off by the hyper-realness of such a simple character, others think it's awesome, I think it's awesome and something I would only expect Mezco One:12 to do, like with all their figures, take a simple character design and give it that, "If this were in the real world", look. I dig it, and honestly if you're interested at all I would grab him, Mezco One:12 figures tend to disappear and then sky rocket in price, not every release, but most. The thing that would blow my mind is if they did a live action Robin Williams version, I would be on that like a fly on fresh crap.

    The Jaeger names for both films have been the BEST. As a part time Aussie these days, Striker Eureka for our Jaeger put a smile on my face. Aside from that, Romeo Blue, Horizon Brave, Coyote Tango, Cherno Alpha, Diablo Intercept, Tacit Ronin, Matador Fury, all badass.

    Looks good to me! I'll be grabbing it for my Xbox One X!

    Play Origins, it's far more Witcher 3 with some AC in it then your standard fair AC game. Combat was revamped, stealth was revamped, it's an RPG now, all about the numbers. Far more story focused, a wider variety or missions, less follow missions, more interesting exploration areas like tombs and hidden temples, less collectibles, less focus on needing to collect what is out there, there are still view points to climb, but I never minded that in AC. As for Far Cry, as I mentioned above, 5 really tried to do away with a lot of the monotonous stuff you mentioned above, liked towers. Far Cry has always been tongue in cheek at times, in the beginning of 5 one of the NPCs even mentions he's not going to have you going around climbing towers all over the map, there are no mandatory towers, the map is revealed through actual quests, dialog, road signs, and gameplay.

    To be fair, Far Cry 2 was pretty meh, it wasn't very good. Outposts are definitely back, they are bigger and more elaborate then ever, plus tons of smaller farms and buildings to clear as well, I recommend it.

    I'm enjoying the hell out of it, but to be fair I am a massive fan/shill of the series, going back to the original PC game and the Instincts remake on the original fatty Xbox. The game is gorgeous, I'm on an Xbox One X and in 4K with HDR going this game is a jaw dropper, really beautiful. Huge, dense map with tons of stuff to do, better progression, better quest giving, coop, less samey style collectathons and missions, they even took out the monotonous towers that you had to climb to unlock the map, the map unlocks much more "naturally" now, through progression on side quests and other activities. The game is very open ended too, you do the tiny tutorial island and that's it, you're free to roam the entirety of the map, for better or worse. The game doesn't feel as much like a big digital check list like the previous games did at times, and the way you get quests now is much better then just running to the same person a dozen times over and asking "What's next?".

    Far Cry 5 is VERY pretty on my X, fairly stable too, I've only had a few frame rate hickups and drops, it seems really well optimized. I love me some Far Cry, I know a lot of people aren't into these huge collectathons, but I will always love them, and this one is quite varied in things to do. Plus I like the more organic flow of missions and how new missions and side objectives pop up more naturally instead of just running to the same person and doing their stuff until they have nothing left to say to you.

    I saw it last night and absolutely loved it, just as much as the first honestly. The new younger cast gets a bit grating at times, but it's not so bad. Performances were fine, Boyega was fine, Eastwood was fine, nothing stood out as either terrible or terrific, it was all serviceable, like the first. I LOVED the fight scenes, they weren't power rangers, they weren't super robot, they were just as heavy and weighted as the first. Designs were hit and miss, I really liked the new Kaiju designs but wasn't totally hot on every new Jaeger design, Gypsy Avenger was badass. I'll definitely be seeing it again sometime soon, I gotta see Ready Player One sometime soon too. Definite sequel bate, I'm hoping that like the first, this one will be profitable enough to continue the franchise, I'd love for a trilogy. As already mentioned by several others though, the first didn't make much in the US either, in fact if I remember right, Adam Sandler's offensively stupid deer piss moron bait movie Grown Ups 2 beat out the first film in it's opening weekend, and had a higher overall domestic return. China is, like the first film, what will make or break this movie.

    I'm not trying to censor anyone, nor am I implying people shouldn't be free to share their opinions, this is a forum, sharing positive and negative opinions on things is why it exists. I just said I didn't understand the hate, I wanted some perspective, I got it. While I am still full hype mode for this film, I can see what many are saying and conveying, Del Toro put a lot of personal sheen on the first film. I bought the first film on DVD, Bluray, 4K Bluray, digital, I bought NECA toys in both scales, I went ape crap over this film, and most importantly, watched the behind the scenes and special features about a half a dozen times. The way Del Toro explained how he very meticulously put together each action scene, down to the flipping, tossing or movement of every little CG car and bit of debris. I get it. The way he spoke so passionately about all the old monster movies I would watch in marathon on Scifi channel, War of the Gagantuas, old school Toho Godzilla, his pretty vast knowledge of mecha anime, he clearly loved working on the first one, it was an obvious dream project. I just think this new one looks fine, zero doubts far less care went into making each scene special but it is what is it, it still looks like giant monsters fighting giant robots, so I'm there. I think a lot of the changes were due to the studio actually even making a sequel. If i remember right the first one way under performed, and was only slightly profitable due to the Chinese market going crazy over the first film. For over a year we were told a sequel won't happen, the first didn't make enough, there wasn't enough interest. So when this was green lit, I'm sure the studio wanted to make this sequel far more "digestible" for a large audience, it couldn't be a director's dream project, if it is to become a franchise, it needed to be streamlined. I can see some of what made the first more personal and less blockbustery missing from what we've seen of the trailers, but overall, it just looks like more of the same to me .

    I may actually buy a new Mafex, swore them off due to four horrible figures in a row, but Baba Yaga may make me bite... http://news.toyark.com/2018/03/23/john-wick-mafex-figure-photo-details-294057 Not a terrible face sculpt, the question is how much will it change before release? Mafex promo faces usually look nothing like the final retail release.

    Holy crap, we can down and up vote?!

    C'mon Bandai, just announce the MK I already so I can finish my damn Figuarts Hall of Armors off.
  17. Tking22
    They do look neat, a bit pricey considering the parts count though. I'm still bummed these were selected overall though, I feel there were far more interesting things up at Ideas at the same time.
  18. Tking22
    Meh, agree to disagree. And I personally still feel the first was dumb fun, slower dumb fun, but not really anything special, it was just one of the first modern films to take a stab at the giant robot v giant monster theme. And I didn't imply faster and shinier meant better in any way, I just stated that was the only real difference I am seeing between this and the first. I loved the first as much as anybody else, I grew up on Toho monster movies and mecha anime, bought hundreds of dollars worth of toys and merch, I just don't feel robbed or slapped in the face by this sequel personally, it looks fine, and it looks like a sequel and evolution to the monsters and tech seen in the first film.

    But I don't think anyone will care if you go see it, hell, it's still Star Wars, I still expect a ton of people to go see it. I'm definitely going to see it, because it's Star Wars.

    Interesting... I don't do the Bayverse stuff myself but some of my buddies are wetting themselves over the in hand images of Blackout, and they are insanely hyped for that Starscream and some Studio Series Grimlock nobody has seen in hand yet.
  21. Tking22
    Wow, that pose and face look SUPER awkward without a blaster in hand. edit: Oh man, I didn't even notice they made Chewie drop his bow caster too, that is pretty lame.

    Double down on being an ass guy, that'll sure show me :). You also pirated it which is gross, I didn't even read that bit.
  23. Tking22
    Yeah I don't get that guy, he seems like a bit of an ass so I put him on ignore, he tried to chew Kuma out for some of his fantastic photos as well. I don't get it, this is one persons opinion that's been railing on the film since it was announced, why not you know, go see it yourself? I'm baffled at the hate the sequel is getting, the first film got borderline middling reviews as well for being a stupid blockbuster giant monster giant robot fight movie. This one is faster, brighter, and shinier and it's terrible? I just don't get some folks, to each their own of course, I'm just really not getting the pedestal the first film is being put on. I love Del Toro's work as much as the next person, but the first film was literally dumb fun, nothing more. This looks to literally be more of the same.
  24. Tking22
    I'm confused, isn't this just the Leader Class movie Starscream that was released multiple times over? Same engineering, same figure and all that? I'm pretty sure I have this exact thing boxed up somewhere but with the stupid Cybertronian markings all over it. And what's up with this Studio Blackout or whatever? Is it essentially a new Leader class Blackout like many people clamored for years ago? I'm not getting the big resurgence of movie toys, didn't the franchise just get set to be rebooted after the solo Bumblebee movie? These will all eventually be the "old" movie designs, no?

    Oh boy, oh boy, it looks like the Mezco Ghostbusters officially went up for PO. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/71461 Snatched mine here, fortunately they are not a Mezco Store exclusive. These were a must buy the moment they were shown off, I think they look fantastic. I don't remember them being announced as one big $300 box set, but I'll take it, buying these piece by piece would've been annoying, like a third party combiner.
