U surprised? I’m not

Yeah, it does. Best of all, pure single player story driven with no bullshit whatsoever and from Square Enix too!! Who would have thought that? Have my pre-order all paid off and will pick up Tuesday morning or tomorrow evening if GameStop does a 9pm release.

Can’t wait!!! Very much looking forward to GOTG.

How I felt after the prologue :joy:

Anybody played biomutant? On sale on Gamefly for $20

Whats the context

Unless you’re ready for another Ubisoft open world, don’t do it :sweat_smile:

The game is fun for a while tho.

Not sure… lol.

Something about leaks.

Probably just all the stuff for podcasts/projects/codenamed etc

Jaffe has been critical of certain design decisions in Metroid Dread (particularly regarding some UX and platform readability reasons) and made videos about it on his channel, and it hasn’t gone down well with the fans of the game lol

I can agree with Steve. I played it for 15 hours but put it on hold due to Ratchet releasing and me being more hyped to play that than Biomutant. I will be playing it again completely after Halo Infinite, so either late December or January.

As for GameFly, look into the used games more because my friend bought RE 8, beat it and returned it to them for a full refund. As far as I know, you have 30 days but I think you have to be in their higher tier subscription plan that includes being able to ā€œlockā€ rentals. Not 100% sure since I don’t use GameFly and just going based on what my friend told me he did with RE 8.

Can’t comment on Metroid Dread but playing The Ascent, there’s definitely some UI issues, text issues unrelated to the subtitles and map issues where it’s either too small or in regards to the map, bad. Like Control level bad. UGH. Point being I can understand Jaffe or anyone for that matter not liking certain design decisions especially if it makes it harder to read text and whatnot.

stop the leaks! :slight_smile:

I hope so. The IP is great and I want this studio to do well, well I want all studios to do well, but you know.

Bro this COVID booster shot is kicking my ass

After no problems with the first or second shots months ago, this booster hits like a truck.

Still, get your shot either way.

After watching Dune the other night, I was reminded again how much it reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia. I had no idea if Frank Herbert was influenced by T.E. Lawrence or not, but a quick Google search confirmed that he was.

I guess it’s no surprise that Lawrence is one of my favorite movies and Dune is one of my favorite books.

I found the article below interesting if you care about these things:

Lawrence of Arabia, Paul Atreides, and the Roots of Frank Herbert’s Dune | Tor.com

Lol!
