System Wars Lounge v54: The So Many Games Edition

Haven't really cared since it's Valve, Unreal 4 though looks AMAZING.

@Ballroompirate: But dude! HL3+L4D3+CS2+TF3!! Those shall be an actual thing in the coming years now! :O

And all of those are meh except L4D3, which L4D was actually made by Turtle Rock, Valve just bought the rights and helped with the development.

@Ballroompirate: You don't deserve nice things >.>

So a huge update just dropped for the Master Chief Collection, and many are claiming this has actually fixed the matchmaking problems. I'll have to try it out after work this evening, but that's awesome to hear that they may have finally fixed things.

@Zassimick: And it only took them 4 months of Beta Retail Testing! :D

:D

They really dropped the ball on a flagship franchise for the Xbox brand. I wonder if anything has or will happen behind closed doors, y'know?

@Zassimick: Likely some studios might lose their contracts after Halo 5 is out (doubt they'll risk any sort of resources before that is out). Or maybe some people will be fired, which kinda sucks. Or maybe things will remain as is, who knows! :P

He did?

Yeah some gamespot article had an image of a person who looks exactly like a chubbier Jack Black.

OlliOlli 2, why are you so addictive?

So a few days ago, I watched The LEGO Movie for the first time. Loved it! Worth a watch if you're a fan of the LEGO games and/or if you at least like the concept of movies like Last Action Hero (which wasn't received well by critics, but a film I liked myself).

When's Arrow coming back anyways? I hate these stupid periodic breaks.

The 18th I do believe. Two weeks. Flash returns the 17th.

@Zassimick: WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO UNTIL THEN!?

Suffer like the rest of us waiting for Arrow and Flash to return...

... and for Avengers: Age of Ultron...

... and for Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice...

... and for the next spin-off series to Arrow...

... and for a whole bunch of other awesome shit.

@Zassimick:

One of those things is not like the others.

I'm curious as to which one you're speaking of. :P

@Zassimick:

BvS. The only thing that interests me about that potential train wreck is Ben Godfleck as Batman.

Woohoo first parts arrived today along with my SSD, hopefully will have it up and running by next weekend.

@Xaero_Gravity: oh you! :D

I'm so pumped for BvS. I really enjoyed Man of Steel though, so that's probably part of the reason. Remaining optimistic for it because it has a ton of potential.

upgrade or new build?

@lostrib: New. Reusing my case and power supply and thats it.

@Zassimick:

It just seems like they're cramming so many characters into it in order to rush towards doing the Justice League movie, unlike Marvel where they took their time establishing each character with their own movie.

I'm still not sold on the DC Cinematic Universe, mainly because I'm salty over the fact that Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin won't be playing Green Arrow and The Flash respectively.

@Xaero_Gravity: I'm not worried. :p They'd be lambasted if they copied Marvel, and they're receiving criticism for not doing it like Marvel. If they treat each of these characters like characters, it shouldn't be much different than having a large cast of non-superpowered peeps. That's how I see it at least, though I do feel like I'm in the minority.

Plus who the **** asked for a Cyborg movie? I'll take a Booster Gold movie over that shit.

@Slashkice: man, i dont get hyped for many marvel movies now a days but that looks fucking dope

@Zassimick: They are not doing Marvel, but Marvel did their thing because it made sense.

Introducing Batman AND Wonder Woman in the same movie with Superman? Maybe, if you can get a good, proven director and writer who can actually pull it off (i.e. Jose Whedon who made Buffy and Firefly, AKA shows that worked because of character chemistry and balance), but if there is one thing Zack Snyder showed to us in his decade-long career is that his biggest weakness is just that.

Man of Steel was a laughable film if you were looking for characterization (he used Amy Adams and still couldn't save Lois Lane from being shitty character) or smooth direction that balanced drama and action.

300, and to a lesser extent Dawn of the Dead, more or less worked because its characters and dramatic assets were very simple. Watchmen failed, and the only reason it's not an utter shit in my opinion is that the source material was too fucking great.

If they fire Goyer and Snyder, maybe it can get better, but for now, hell no. I don't see Superman vs. Batman being good at all.

debating whether or not i should give the new monster hunter a try

My problem with these rants is that nothing I say will change your mind, and a lot of what you say there isn't going to change my mind.

I was typing something up in response but ended up deleting it because it really isn't worth the time going back and forth in long paragraphs. I get it. People hated Man of Steel and many are automatically writing off BvS for any number of reasons. Still one of my most hyped movies and really hoping it isn't terrible, much like everything that I get excited for.

@Zassimick: Well good for you, but you know I'm right.

Exactly what I figured you'd say. :P

@mems_1224:

If you have a New 3DS I say maybe. Depends on how much you like that style of game. I'm not the biggest fan of the genre, but MH4 is easily my favorite MH. It's no Freedom Wars though.

never played one. im just curious about it

@mems_1224: There's a demo of the third one on 3DS.

@mems_1224:

There's a demo for the 4th one as well, so I say give that a shot.

@mems_1224: Keep in mind the demo sucks, though

@Zassimick: People hated Man of Steel for the dumbest shit, those people are fraking stupid (like them bashing the last fight scene and called his actions "not what Superman would have done" bitch please you have no idea what Sups is has done in the comics). I can see them hating on Superman Returns since that was actually pretty bad, but saying MoS was bad....please

SvB looks interesting cause it's ether gonna do well (not mind blowing) or completely fail. The sad thing is for Avengers 2, it looks pretty meh to me since Marvel has just gone down hill for me except for the Garfield Spidey films and GoG. The thing that excites me at all for Avengers 2 is James Spader.

The demo sucks because the game sucks.

Man of Steel sucked and the Vita sucks.

That is all.

Borderlands 2 and Barcelona sucks.

Man of Steel was an even shittier super hero movie than The Avengers

Am I the last person to find out McShea works for Ign now?

whaaaaaa?

Everything sucks.

@lostrib: I know, right? I'm trying to find the preview I watched on my Ign roku channel this morning... There it was in big letters, preview by Tom McShea... And his goofy voice to follow. Shit, I can't even remember which game it was.... Arg! Help
