    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    It had a 60% drop week 2 and another 60% week 3. I think it'll struggle to take #1 worldwide.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Some boxoffice #s: Endgame is finishing up its 3rd week, doing ~$4M/day domestic atm (higher on weekends). At this rate it might pass Avatar domestically in 2-3 weeks. It is basically impossible to catch SW:TFA. So Endgame will likely end #2 Domestically. All Time Domestic Box Office Results...

    Aladdin (2019)

    The cartoon has a lot of shots that imply a very LARGE space whereas the live action is very confined, making the parade seem super-small. Cartoon has low angle shots looking up at open sky, and when you see the crowds they are far back and imply a ton of spectators. And yea, the Genie is more...

    Hearthstone

    So they are back to doing the $20 mini expansions, except you get 0 new cards, just PvE content with packs from the previous expansion. It's a good money grab I guess, and in-line with buying straight up packs ($19.99 is 15 packs). I'll likely just do the free mission, if I even log back in. I...

    Aladdin (2019)

    That clip is so terrible, why would they even show that. If that's the best part then.. ouch. Will Smith sounds terrible, the song has no pizzazz. Very amateur. The whole scene COULD have been epic as hell but this looks like some small-town parade. It doesn't FEEL epic enough that it should...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I skimmed it last night too and have no idea what "serious" stuff you saw, but if it's anything I said, I've not seen any spoilers and most of my predictions last night weren't very serious . Other than Jon killing Daeny

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Nobody was going to be happy with the final season, but last night's was fine. After catching up the past many pages, biggest criticism I see is Daeny going dark. Obviously the writing, acting, and directing didn't portray it well enough, but I believe we're supposed to believe the loss of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I thought this episode was a ton better than the last 2. They had to make Daeny the villain in short order, this did that. I was bummed on the Cersei death. I was hoping a standoff where Drogon and Daeny are towering above her& Jaime and she scorches them while Jaime launches a bolt into...

    Hah, what the fuck? Of course there's nothing tangible, this is a gaming forum. Where did you think you were? Which is why all your drivel about design docs and funding has been so absurd. Welcome to a discussion forum, not Arm Chair Games Inc.

    I agree 100% with what you're saying. I wouldn't play the game if there weren't other core gameplay elements included. As I said before, politics has been seldom explored and I think there is great potential including it in future MMOs in conjunction with the your normal MMO content.

    Lol you're funny. I'm not trying to pitch you anything. That's very presumptuous of you. Why would I pitch to someone with 0 power or vision? Your 1st paragraph is ALMOST accurate. You finally seem to understand the point but your conclusion that it disconnects from the metagame is...

    EQ was such a new concept to me that I had no idea the world was open and could be traversed starting at level 1. Once I discovered I could explore, game over man. I ended up traveling with a group from Qeynos to Freeport on a whim. I couldn't be contained anymore. I started as a Druid and I...

    Just going to reply to the part of your post that has any substance: (in order). 1.) Clamping the system to a democratic process is essential otherwise you end up with what you describe before, a single ruler that dictates everything and a large "hook" for the game is non-existent. There can...

    Agreed. And we're talking MMO stuff here in general, which PvP could play a part, but ideally I want to see something innovative on the PvE side. I know some people still advocate for hardcore death penalties too, but imo it's in the same boat. I don't want to be punished even more for "losing"...

    Sonic the Hedgehog (2019)

    I think the main issue is Sonic's design at this point. Nobody knows the plot other then we know it'll suck a dick. But people want to see Sonic on screen, not whatever that abomination is. If Sonic looked right and had a badass attitude, I'd probably watch regardless of plot.

    I disagree that Art is the main issue here. Reusing assets is normally not a problem at all. Big Worlds are easier to make than ever and procedural generation isn't out of the realm of possibility anymore, and it's been done to an extent. Tuning & creating the content is going to be the largest...

    I mean... this right here shows you don't read posts. I literally said this in the sentence right after. You sound like a disgruntled game designer. Streamlining content creation CAN be a decent solution but then you're looking at very formulaic content. It would be very difficult to create...

    Problem is, it's in EQ. Yea, designers can do nearly anything. 1st problem is we have very few AAA MMOs in production. New World maybe the only 1? MAYBE a LoL MMO? Pantheon is not AAA btw. 2nd problem is the designers need to embrace the camp life. Most dont. 3rd is making sure it can support...

    Sonic the Hedgehog (2019)

    The only reason I watched the entire trailer was because of Jim Carrey lol. I still love the 90's Jim Carrey. He must need a payday, he hasn't done shit in like 5 years (Dumb and Dumber To). He had a couple random things in 2016 and did an Amazon Prime TV show in 2018.

    Camps that were basically Mobs coming to you would be great lol. Like in Fellowship of the Ring when they are trapped and goblins / cave troll are all coming at them. However, I think it will essentially be like an EQ "ring event", and not many people enjoyed those I think. People like to...

    I know what you mean tbh, camping has its merits and I had a lot of good times in camps in EQ, it's where you can socialize the most and grow bonds. HOWEVER, it is a bit odd to be able to sit in 1 spot and watch things appear from thin air, over and over. Definitely the opposite of a "living...

    They should take this CG sonic and use him in the movie. 10000X improvement over the abomination in the trailer.

    Your first sentence is exactly why MMOs are so not worth it anymore. Their unique aspect of a large world with a community has been stepped on by tons of other games now. Particularly the BR group of games recently, but also games like minecraft. Even MOBAs and Shooters can feel more MMO these...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yea I have 0 respect for the Cinematographer who passes blame to the viewer, but I also put most of the blame on the Director, Editor, and other Technical Artists that work with the footage. The Cinematographer doesn't make all the decisions with final output. There is color correction, CGI, and...

    New World

    I got invited last week and had it installed but just decided to try it last night finally. Main problem is I have zero time to dedicate to an MMO. So when I was tasked with finding 3 animals to skin, and ran around for a few minutes finding only 2 turkeys which I couldn't use for the task, I...

    Joe has a long-ish video but says exactly how I feel about it. TL;DW: Fine with Arya getting the kill, but it should have been a group effort vs the NK. He originally rated the Episode an 8, would have been a 10 for the battle, story took it to an 8 and after sleeping on it he rates it a 6 due...

    I would like to see the people saying it wasn't dark. Literally every person in this thread and IRL have said it was too dark. Who has the magical TV ? The brightened scenes linked above are better, but too grainy now. The aerial fight is a lot better though. And my TV looked like this first...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    On that same wavelength, having the battle take place in the course of a single night is a major flaw imo. If they showed a passing of days it would feel much more epic. And we could actually get some awesome daytime battles too. I doubt the episode would need to be extended much, too. They...

    LOL. I had to look up if anyone named their child Cersei. Found this: American parents invented 1,100 new baby names last year 11 babies in 2017 named Cersei. 0 Arya or Sansa on that list.
