If there's one thing I've learned about film opinions on this forum it's that they are never consistent.
SpoilerExcept for Dredd. We all like that. Yes, even you.

I think it will be a combination of a staggering achievement and very much worth playing while at the same time not being the definitive version. What I'd really like to see is to have the original available to switch to al la Monkey Island or Halo remakes.

OH YOU DON'T SAY.
Mind you, will it run on my lowly 270X based PC?

Breath of the Colossus.
I have to be honest, when something as fundamental as the colour palette changes, that's no longer really a faithful remake. So much of the feel of the original environments are locked into those hues, I'm not sure the PS3 remaster might not remain the definitive release.

Out of every pad I’ve ever used, I find the joy cons the easiest to use for fighting games (got Garou/KOF98/USF2). Having said that, I’m def getting the Brook adaptor so I can use my old Arcade sticks.
I don't understand... How can you make the tiny cross pad work?
SpoilerYes I know it's a plus button... I'm being silly.

You can be a proper bellend sometimes, Broker.
Of course I'm interested in PUBG, otherwise I wouldn't be in the thread. With the buzz around it I had assumed it was actually getting fully released now, but I was mistaken, so I offered an opinion on its current state, which the marketing had drawn me to the thread to investigate.
So get off your towering horse for once and don't act like such a prick to people.

It's a great film. Any prequel comparisons are ridiculous. If anything this treats them even moreso like they never existed.

I thought it had highs and lows, but the highs lifted it above the Force Awakens, even if it wasn't as consistent a film throughout.
Also:
SpoilerI have to grudgingly agree about the characters left now - you can see what they are trying to do: these are the characters we are to follow now as they are the new heroes and villains, but I did come away from the end of the film, especially the kid with the broom epilogue, thinking, "and here's the end of this saga and the start of a new one, all of the story of my favourite characters has now been told." But in some ways that's the point, it's setting up as a continuing saga for a whole new generation of viewers.

The last thing anyone wanted was a sniff of any of the shit from the prequels.
When I last watched them they were actually worse than I remembered.

Big spoilers, read at own risk:
SpoilerYoda was so much his lovely cheeky old puppet self I nearly cried.
Someone said rubbery earlier? That's because he was and always has been a Jim Henson creation. When I saw this Yoda it was like seeing an old friend.
As for Mark Hamil and Luke's send off in particular, that was fucking great. I love how the big powerful thing he does in the end isn't a display of raw power, but an actual proper huge Jedi mind trick that felt like an Old Ben thing to do. And that ties into Luke telling Rey the force is more than just what you can do. Him collapsing while looking at twin suns was particularly poetic I thought.
Say what you like about the rest of the film (which I thought was a highly enjoyable ride) - they fucking nailed the Luke stuff.

It's quite simple: futureshock hates women, so he'd rather defend to the hilt an alleged paedophile than agree with one.

For me it is simply that it pushes more of the risk onto the shoulders of the consumer. It's not necessarily a con, as such.
The Star Citizen stuff is probably the worst. That actually is a con.

Each to their own. I'm just not interested in parting with money on unfinished products. Though in the case of PUBG on Xbox it looks more like Alpha than Beta, so is a bit more suspect.

Just now, Black Cat Supremacist said:
It’s clearly not a demo. If you’d said paid beta then that would make more sense. It’s also clearly not a full priced product.
No it's clearly something unfinished. It's great that people are fine with paying money for that. Is what I'm saying.

Charging money for something that is unfinished is such a brilliant ruse. Back in the day we called them demos, and they were free.
2 -
People have charged actual money for that?

And with that, the pun well went dry.

Blade Runner 2049 is going to make me buy a huge 4K TV when it's out on home release next year.
So you can make an assumption about my favourite film of the year on that.

And there were people rating it poorly on the internet moaning about how slow paced and ponderous it was. Presumably YouTube generation reviewers with the attention span of a gnat and no appreciation of narrative build up.

That will easily be better than basically all of DC's live action film output without even trying.

They got the Ueda games upside-down, but other than that I'm pleased Dark Souls is second only to the best game of all time that I've not played yet.
In my new top 20, Dark Souls now really is second only to the best game of all time that I have actually played now.

She obviously meant "godspeed", which is faster than hyperspeed. She was hoping they would have it.
