Be great to finally get some proper BOTW2 info. Crazy how it's been 5 and a half years since the original.

How bizarrely passive aggressive.

Bring the hype.

Good trailer but the one at Celebration was different and even better. Looks like they're still holding things back. I agree I'd like to see new things now (which I think they are doing a bit of that too tbf), but I think that's just a sign of the times tbh, not just Star Wars. I know I say this a lot on here, but modern day audiences have just been conditioned to want what's familiar. That's why everything these days seems to be a sequel or reboot or remake, or thing that gets an old cast back together.

He did more than predict a September Direct, he predicted the content as well.

I'm currently in pieces after watching S4 E4.

That's pretty much what most of YouTube seems to be these days, it's really sad. Also Jim Sterling lol.

You did better than me, I only lasted 20 seconds.

I think the over-arching narrative is why all the films blend into one, each one doesn't have as much of a unique storyline like the previous Bond films do. I think around the time Craig was hired, "gritty" was the big buzzword when it came to films and tv shows so they went in that direction and like you say, copied the Bourne films. Hopefully the next set of Bond films strike a good balance. I think Casino Royale did that pretty well. It was fun but also down to earth.

Saw it a few months ago, can't remember much about it. I've struggled with the last few Bond films, Casino Royale was amazing, and Quantum of Solace was watchable, but everything since I just find way too bleak and depressing. I really miss the more fun Pierce Brosnan days, but I'm probably in the minority.

Regardless, they made a statement so I thought I'd post it.

Nintendo has joined Microsoft in responding to this week's shock PlayStation 5 price hike, and said it had "no plans" to similarly bump up the Nintendo Switch's cost. https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-responds-to-playstation-price-hike

I just find this whole line of reasoning really strange. Like you've totally been a jerk here about a pretty positive announcement, and instead of acknowledging it you're basically resorting to whataboutery. Because I'm being accused of being the reason this forum is apparently dying, so forgive me for pointing out when others such as yourself dismiss literally anything Xbox does that's positive, or someone else I've already mentioned often trolls the Nintendo board throwing console-war grenades, then acts all outraged when someone says Microsoft did what Playstation is doing now, seven years ago. It looks like a great controller, but to suggest it's going to change the industry, I very much disagree.

Gamepass is amazing and you are constantly poking holes in it, as well as almost anything Xbox ever does. Your anti-Microsoft bias or @drahkon's OTT Playstation bias and constant comments about how he "forgot we aren't allowed to criticise Nintendo on here" or that "Mario 3D World is the worst 3D Platformer in existance" or that "Nintendo don't make good Zelda games" are as glaring as anything. So I'd suggest you both look at yourselves a bit more before accusing others. Again, it's a really nifty controller, and it's great to see such cool tech being released, but 'Incredible and game-changing'? It's long overdue.

There's fanboys everywhere. It's a cool controller, but "incredible" is pushing it just a tad.

Or Xbox, seven years after PS?

I know, point still stands though, its not a very nice looking game imo. A lot of Japanese development studios seem to be (at least) a generation behind technically.

*Google Images Harvestella* Pass. A step up from Game Freak visuals, but just barely. cool re the Splatoon treehouse though

Very cool!

Playstation's answer to the Xbox Elite controller, a whole seven years later?

Lots of reasons as stated. Obviously Covid is a big one. BOTW is a tough act to follow so I imagine they struggled to find gameplay that was on par or as special an experience as the original. Padding out the release schedule could easily be another. No way does Nintendo need that game this year, but to kick off the next financial year? I could see that being a reason to delay it a few more months

Tonally speaking, the Star Wars sequels fit together fine (and I'd also argue storyline wise too, but that's a different discussion). Back to tone though, they work together more so than say, Iron Man 1 > Guardians, or Thor 1 > Thor 3. Ok The Last Jedi was a bit more thoughtful and nuanced and 9 was more of a pulpy action film, but that's the case with a lot of trilogies. The middle chapter slows things down a bit and then they go all out for the finale.

I think you mean Spoiler for Season 4, which I haven't yet watched @Josh64 But yeah Steve is fantastic, love his relationship with Dustin too. I liked the scene at the school dance between Nancy and Dustin at the end of S2 as well. The show does great montage scenes in general. The Ghostbusters one in S2 was amazing, and the Material Girl one in S3.

I'm finding the series pretty much perfect, I can't think of a single negative. All the characters are just fantastic, it makes watching any scene they're in a real joy. It's also beautifully produced. Glad to hear the quality is still up there with S4. Gonna give it a few days break then jump straight in... PS: the Never Ending Storyyyyyyyy sequence is up for there for best things ever committed to film imo

Finally started watching this a month or so back. Finished Season 3 last night. This show is incredible. Will give it a few days then jump straight into S4. Hard to rank the first three seasons tbh, watching them back to back the quality remains high pretty much the whole way.
