Episode 1 of GoT is still up for me, I only ever picked up the free episode. I don't know of many games that have been removed from Ready to Install lists permanently, hard to say what's going on. Presumably the rights should revert to HBO, except maybe if someone else has silently picked up the game license. As far as I'm aware HBO's only current gaming presence is mobile games.

 
I didn't realize Endgame already had showings today, people are starting to post on Facebook. I guess it's time to go internet dark until I see it Sunday.

 
It will make you mad. But only because you will realize we could have been getting good Transformers movies all along. It's a great movie that had one questionable role (Cena).
Yeah, it was fantastic. The fun parts of the existing Transformers franchise (which are few, but they were expanded here) with the heart and soul of E.T.

Some cliched beats and, yeah, Cena was ... Cena. He's no Dwayne Johnson or Dave Batista.

But overall, such a good flick.
 
Rotten Tomatoes jumped the shark with the perfect bumblebee movie score. We need something new to measure movies.
I personally liked Bumblebee (not a perfect movie though). That said for an actual “real” score, it’s still better to look at Metacritic, where Endgame sits at a more down to earth 78.

Problem with Rotten Tomatoes is that sometimes even a 2/4 can be considered a positive review to go into the percentage. Not sure a 50% would be a passing grade for most.

Not saying Cena is much better... but have you actually seen Batista’s movies outside of guardians movies?
Straight to dvd/digital fodder, for a reason.

Lol, I was thinking of his smaller roles in Spectre, Blade Runner 2049 (and his small companion film of it) and Hotel Artemis.

Also, sorry if I missed this elsewhere in the thread, but Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Vol. 2 is on sale for $4.99.

Personally I find almost any metric to be relatively poor for rating movies. But the best metric for me is Oscar nominations. If a movie has Oscar nominations, I definitely know I won't like it.

 
Completely forgot he was in spectre. Yeah his minor roles are better than his main roles.
Definitely. Almost everyone makes stinker VoD movies here and there. Even if he's only really remembered as an actor for Drax, that's more than most actors get.

Anywho, I don't dislike Cena; he just seems awfully one-note. It's like he's always playing Mark Wahlberg but knows it so goes meta with it and winks at the audience. Or directly references it like in Trainwreck, lol.

Yeah, and some people don't seem to realize that a movie with 90% isn't the same thing as 9/10. The RT% really is just a way to gauge the likelihood that after you watch the movie you'll at least say, "Eh, it was decent." Theoretically a movie that's just "passable" could get 100% as long as none of the critics are able to muster the energy to hate it.

Uh they don’t realize it because rotten tomatoes itself allows it to be on commercials for movies and using their 100% or perfect score verbiage.

I think RT is best utilized for extremes, assuming there's a big enough sample size (50, 100 reviews). When movies are at 10 or 20%, it's usually pretty accurate that yeah, that film is terrible (Holmes and Watson, for example, at 11%). Once in awhile, critics hate movies that are well-received by audiences (Venom) and if I want to see something, I probably will.

Once in awhile, critics hate movies that are well-received by audiences (Venom) and if I want to see something, I probably will.
To be fair...Venom was awful.

 
Maybe it is my confirmation bias but IMDB user rating has been 100% agreeable for hundreds of movies I watched in my life.  So I usually trust that.  Endgame is currently 9.4/10 per 10,808 user ratings so it's looking good to me!

You think that many people have already seen the movie? Or that have seen it and decided to go write a review?

That's like an Amazon review for an unreleased game that is just someone yammering about how much they can't wait to see it. 50 5 Star reviews for Gears 5 and 5 1 Star from trolls.

This is so short-sighted. I gave it a 10 this morning. I'm going with some good friends tomorrow night and it's going to be epic! They're really good friends and we always have a great time at whatever we do, so how could it not be a 10?

10,808 reviews do seem too many lol... I really want it to be good fingers crosssssssed

 
It was campy and not good, but simultaneously pretty entertaining.
Tom Hardy trying his damndest to go full Nic Cage and commit to make the movie not terrible is only compliment I can give. No one else even gave a quarter of that. Also was I suppose to be rooting for his ex to get back with him? In all reality, he is a crap boyfriend/fiancee and really her new boyfriend is a much better choice. He gives her friggin ex-fiancee a FREE MRI. Who does that??

Good to know that if we ever got engaged and then broke up and then you became a neurologist and my new boyfriend needed medical care after being infected with an alien parasite and happened to arrive in the hospital you work in while you are on shift that you would charge him first.

This is why I date women.

If all American's were granted free health care, people would be taking advantage of the system and be getting MRI's all the time just for fun. That's all I'm saying! And you know it's true!

Assuming you're not joking and gay, GL with that. As I've heard from other women, it's awful dating the same sex because you're both great communicators and it's a constant war of being unable to defeat the other person's solid argument.

 
Xbox One version of Game of Thrones is back on my Ready to Install list.

I wonder how often this happen because there was a time Project Cars and some other racing Games with Gold title would dissapear from the Ready to Install List.

 
Had dusted off the PS4 last week to try Dreams early access and it’s pretty amazing what people are already doing with it - from shooters to racing games to platformers. Gameplay can still be rough but due to the nature of tools, most of them look surprisingly polished.

The tutorials are very well done and give you the warm fuzzy feeling of a Pixar or Disney effort. It’s the Project Spark idea but done right and seemingly with far more possibilities.

I haven’t had a lot of time to dive into it but if you have a PS4, might want to check it out.

Got over a major hurdle in my Gears 4 solo insane run.  Had been stuck for a while in the circular room in the catacombs where you deal with Juvies and Pouncers (Act 3, Chapter 4 - Do Not Go Gentle).  At my current checkpoint, I had half a clip of Lancer ammo, near full Retro, empty pistol and no grenades.  I could get through the Pouncer and then the wave of Juvies, but could never get by the next wave of Juvies + Pouncer.  Decided last night to restart the chapter on a different save slot and conserve ammo.  Took a bit to get back to the Juvie / Pouncer room, but I was fully stocked.  A couple grenades took care of most of the Juvies before the Pouncer joined them, and I finally cleared the room.  Did not go gentle, now off to the Elevator to Hell.

 
IDK if it was mentioned but check your Microsoft Rewards dashboard if you bought anything on the Spring sale. I bought only the Division 2 and got an extra 2500 points.
 
So, I had saved my free 3-month game pass reward from way back in November, I had checked it last month and it was still good, I wanted to gift it to a relative that got an Xbox recently but to my surprise the code was not good anymore, I contacted rewards help and got a response several hours later and they refunded 18k points to my acct so I could get a new code, which most likely I wont. I remember someone was asking here about this codes being good still, so if you have one of those saves make sure you double check it before too late.

That was probably me. Thanks for the info. I thought maybe it was a glitch since the 3 month GP had become a hot deal and it would come back after it was over, but it has not. I'll have to hit them up.

 
Still insanely impressed by Baja Edge of Control HD. One of if not the best racer I've played. Physics are incredible. Feel bad for the people who contemplated it buy didnt but it.

I also enjoyed Baja despite the fact that it was a remaster. I couldn't afford Forza Horizon 4 when that came out, so I went with Baja as an alternative and was pleasantly surprised.

Yea I'm not a big Forza fan since I'm not really a car person, which is why I think Baja is fantastic. I think core gameplay wise, Baja is better. But obviously Forza is better in almost every other way due to customization and overall content.
