According to some MK-focused sites like The Kombat Tether, Cassie is being shown today. And even if they don't show her, IGN just uploaded one of her fatalities (as well one from Kano).
Ah okay. I love MK but haven't delved into a lot of info sites. Mainly get my news from Dynasty on YT.....since we're so close to release, probably gonna back off seeing more clips and whatnot of gameplay. I want to be shocked and surprised when I perform a fatality/punishing blow that first week when I play.

Kinda like a movie I guess. If I see enough and it convinces me/hypes me up to view it, I don't want anymore trailers spoiling stuff
 
Reviews for Captain Marvel are up, it's 84% fresh on RT. I was planning on seeing it anyway, but glad to hear it's apparently good. Some reviews are dogging on the 90s setting (and apparently soundtrack) but I'm 100% fine with Hole and Nirvana helping make it more of a period piece.
Skipping this one, trailers have just been so meh. Also not a fan of Larson or the over the top feminist angle (she’s a her-o!!!), Wonder Woman and Gal Gadot did it much better. Heck so did Alita!

Heads up for people who would also rather skip it the reviews say it has no direct ties to Endgame.

This make sense since it takes place ~20 years prior. I imagine this is just to introduce her character so people are familiar with her in Endgame.

So glad I returned JC4 on day one. Finally will have a reason to use this six month game pass I've had sitting here once Anthem runs its course for me. Gotta say, PS+ is looking pretty shit this month with only two games I care nothing about and Gold/game pass constantly adding games I want to play. . .

 
Game Pass added Just Cause 4 and Lego Batman 2 to its library today. March 14th will be F1 2018 and Fallout 4. Wouldn't surprise me if more games for the latter half of the month get announced in a few weeks.
March 14 for F1 2018 would make sense since the season opener in Melbourne is that weekend. Which means I’m excited to drink Fosters all night in anticipation of those magic words...

“ITS LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO!”

I can't believe that they didn't think it would be a good idea have a PSVR title as the 3rd PS+ game of the month. It would be in their best interest to keep that thing out of people closets.

I'd be surprised to know there was that many VR titles TBH. Still wouldn't help my situation, more like spitting in my face lol.

 
Someone help. I’m supposed to be a CAG but my finger has been hovering over the $70 DMV5 purchase button for two hours and I’m getting dizzy.

The problem with Wonder Woman is that it was a bad movie in the guise of a good movie simply because she was a female superhero. Ms. Marvel looks more entertaining than that garbage. Hell, my wife fell asleep during Wonder Woman. She didn't do that through any of the other super hero movies I made her sit through including Suicide Squad.
 
You guys don’t know DMV5? The offshoot of Capcom’s stylish action flagship wherein half-demon Dante has to legally arrange the transfer of the deed to his vehicle?

Anyway, three copies incoming. Maybe I’ll hold a raffle.
 
Ended up buying the Ghost Recon year 2 pass in last week's sale. Last few sales it's been $23 so I bit at $19 this time around. Now to figure out how to get a cheap year 4 Rainbow pass lol
I assume year 2 stuff is all online stuff? Or is there single player/campaign stuff too?

 
Does anyone else ever think about how things like free xbl games, gamepass, and ea access give you so many games to jump around to, distract, etc that it reduces full enjoyment and immersement into a single game? I’m not disciplined enough to just do one game and full complete it so I feel like I find myself jumping back into games, refiguring out the controls and what’s going on in the story only to quit out at the first issue.

I think I only feel that way when I try to hard keep up with Gamepass Quests or some in-game events that require too much time and effort. Achievement hunting has made me feel that way before as well. I often used to choose to finish mediocre games for the completion aspect rather than moving onto something better.

For me it is more which one do I start now? Last game I really played was RDR2 and then a bit of AC Odyssey (10 hours maybe?). Then I was a way on business and since coming back I just haven't been motivated to play anything. Probably should have played something not open world between RDR2 and AC. Thought maybe I would try Crackdown 3 but can't motivate myself to play that. Didn't really care for the first one and never played the 2nd one. Seems so much Agents of Mayhem which I played over the summer. Not sure I need another game like that now. I bought over on PSN Far Cry Primal a few weeks ago but again haven't really been motivated to start it. Also recently picked up SP Fractured But Whole Gold (on disc). And this morning downloaded JC4. A game I really want to like but was so off put by how shitty JC3 was at launch. Although I did play through it on both PS4 and XBox One X recently. So I need more JC right now?

I was doing the weekly Forzathon challenges until my trip in January but haven't been motivated to fire that up either.

So I end up saying fuck it and watch Youtube while looking for more deals here and over in the PSN thread.

And this morning I downloaded JC4

Skipping this one, trailers have just been so meh. Also not a fan of Larson or the over the top feminist angle (she’s a her-o!!!), Wonder Woman and Gal Gadot did it much better. Heck so did Alita!

Heads up for people who would also rather skip it the reviews say it has no direct ties to Endgame.
Not to drag this into an argument, but I simply don't get this perspective. I get not everyone being all that into comic movies, hey you have your own tastes in film! But, Chris Evans and Mark Ruffalo tweet political opinions all the time (liberal, no less) and people still line up to see their movies (and anxiously await Endgame). And then you have movies where the men are all broforce, testosterone fueled explosion fests and people love it (how many Expendables movies were there?). However when a woman expresses some opinions - Oh my God, Nope, Won't see it! What she said wasn't that much, or even that bad - just a small segment blew it up into the biggest thing evah. Just a little bit of "girls can be tough, too" and "it would be nice if it wasn't all just white men doing the interviews" - other people having opportunities does not take anything away from white men, unless you got your opportunity solely based on that - in which case, too bad.

And I simply don't get what kind of character people expected. You don't reach the rank of Major in the Air Force by being passive/submissive, oh golly oops I did it again! Giggle. You have to be tough as nails, headstrong and a leader for that - and women have to be just as good as the men, they don't get bonus points for having a vagina. She embodies that.

I just wish people would reflect on their knee jerk reactions, and see whether their bias is fair. By the way, mentioning being a fan of Alita does not absolve this, it's not that different from the old "I'm not racist because I have a black friend" trope. That seems to be a common refrain on pretty much every Facebook post from Marvel trashing a movie they haven't seen for "reasons". Were you upset about Iron-MAN or Ant-MAN?

This is totally how I feel. I almost lament the multiple games I’ve purchased or have access to because it seems to make me indifferent. My fall back is destiny 2 because there’s always weekly missions if I don’t feel into anything else. I’m also an older gamer so throw on that I sometimes wonder if I’m done with gaming but then I try to plug into the next big thing. Usually I trade the game back in rather quickly (Rdr2) because it seems too big to fully enjoy. Even thought today of selling all systems and just keeping switch to play with my kids now and again. It would certainly help my keeping up with any shows on right now.
 
Silly seeing incels and people that scream SJW constantly getting all worked up about Captain Marvel.  Reviews sound good but not amazing - a warm up for Avengers.

Need to read up on Just Cause 4.  I've played JC3 from PS+ a decent amount.  It's fun but was fatiguing to play - the open world is just TOO big with too many bases that take too long to clear.  Super annoying when you can't find the last base to finish a zone or the last destructible in a base.

Here's a thought. Did you install the game from disk at any point prior to getting the digital version? When you download the digital version the installed disk version will still be on on your HD unless you go back and delete it.
No disk, never owned a forza physical game.

 
Someone help. I’m supposed to be a CAG but my finger has been hovering over the $70 DMV5 purchase button for two hours and I’m getting dizzy.
Remember your backlog cares and depends on you man!!! Step away from the edge, DMC games have sales pretty frequently!

 
I really like Anthem, although it is a half baked buggy mess. I feel like they tried a bunch of methods to get around loading screens, and then just said fuck it and put in a wallpaper with tips. Underwater, wormholes, suit up animation, and long flight times all scream background loading - but then it cuts to wallpaper anyways. I like blowing stuff up tho and the game has that in spades.
 
Wow lol, that’s something. Is there a good way to respond to something like this?

I’ll just say a couple things. First, I don’t look to celebrities for any guidance whatsoever on moral, ethical, or social issues. Their primary skill/talent in life is to pretend to be someone else, which is fine, but it doesn’t qualify them as an authority on anything just because they are famous. Hence I have no idea what Chris Evans or Mark Ruffalos views are on politics because I really don’t care.

Second, I’m perfectly allowed to have a negative opinion of Brie Larson without being a sexist. What would be actual sexism is saying I am required to like Brie because of her gender and I’m not allowed to think the marketing has been lame at all because it’s about feminism.

So if you can’t open your mind enough to see a different opinion as anything other than some form of discrimination, I would work on that.
 
I was eyeballing the Y2 Gold Edition so I could jump in with some friends, but one of them says that the Y2 Pass wasn't really worth it. What does it come with?
I agree at full retail price of $29.99 it’s definitely not worth it. But for $19 it’s not bad. It unlocks weapons and tiers that you don’t have to grind your whole life to accumulate points to unlock

Same. The gameplay is so frickin fun. I just started playing as a new javelin and I have to change up my strategies when approaching combat because my abilities are so different. Makes it feels like a totally different game.

 
With all the hate anthem gets, I do like it. Not $60 worth... but it does have lots of promise.

I read the ps4 is bricking due to anthem.. that’s ps4 only correct? I was thinking of firing up anthem again before I saw that, didn’t really read the article though.
 
And I got my tickets for Captain Marvel months ago. I'll be honest, the trailers look meh, but for now I've made a habit to see all the MCU movies in theaters and even than I know regardless of how the movie will be, it won't be as friggin awful as Iron Man 3.

Not bricking, basically just doing a hard reset on the console similar to pulling the plug when a console is in the middle of an update. Small handful of people saying it bricked their console, but holding down the power button for seven seconds runs the console in safe mode and can turn it on like normal again after that. And yeah only PS4.

They've got the formula down now, and yeah, I want to see them all in theater too. Esp. since this will play a role in Endgame.

And there's no possible way it could be worse than Iron Man 3. Blech.

Haven't played he game yet but heard that the weapons behind the y2 or y1 pass are garbage,is this true?

Are we just supposed to forget that
Pepper became one of the Extremis super soldiers at the end of the movie?

New MK11 story trailer looks great.  No way they're giving that away day 1.

The twist in Iron Man 3 in regards to Mandarin still crushes my spirit to this day lol. As does the thought that we will never get a proper RDJ Iron Man vs Mandarin movie

Well, you can start by reading it better. No one called you "sexist", in fact I made an effort to avoid directing it at you, and more about how I don't understand the hate. Also, no one said you aren't allowed to not like someone. And I very specifically said people can have different opinions. Were you self assessing based on my points?

Buuuut .... since you went there, you laid it all out. You don't know or care about Ruffalo or Evan's politics, but you definitely cited the "over the top feminist angle" and not liking Larson. You mentioned those side by side, but I guess you don't like Larson because other reasons but its the feminist marketing of the movie that bothers you. Totally nothing to do with the person you mentioned in the same sentence which has been cited by the whiners as being too feminist. I'm glad you aren't one of them then.

Perhaps you should have broken those up and said what you didn't like about Larson that isn't "sexist" as you recognized, then as you do so you should take into account the character she is playing and whether those points apply (a bad ass military woman, driven by duty). Whether it is sexist or not depends on how you apply those same requirements if it were a man. I can't and didn't answer those for you, therefore I didn't call you out about it. The only thing I did call you out is your reference to liking Alita, as if that reinforces your cred, which is doesn't.

 
holding down the power button for seven seconds runs the console in safe mode and can turn it on like normal again after that. And yeah only PS4.

There was a post on the PS4 subreddit yesterday of someone getting the crash during anthem and they couldn't even start it in safe mode. Someone else made a post saying they could get it fixed through safe mode but now all of their games crash after 15 minutes.

Does anyone else ever think about how things like free xbl games, gamepass, and ea access give you so many games to jump around to, distract, etc that it reduces full enjoyment and immersement into a single game? I’m not disciplined enough to just do one game and full complete it so I feel like I find myself jumping back into games, refiguring out the controls and what’s going on in the story only to quit out at the first issue.
I tend to switch between a single player and multiplayer game and may get burned out and jump to different ones. I'm usually pretty good at playing single player games all the way through. My problem was having as many of the games I owned and every gamepass and ea access game I wanted to play installed. Having all those games installed was overwhelming on choosing what to play next. I still have like 150 games installed which I need to cut down on, but it helps not having everything.
 
Nope, all I ever got was the digital version. It was bizarre and I tried the license trick, removed cache, completely deleted and reinstalled the game. Nothing worked...

No disk, never owned a forza physical game.
Darn. I guess that would have been too easy to fix the problem. I booted the game up on my primary 360 to see if I could get the error. It seemed to work fine. I played the game a little and got an achievement. It did take a little bit to sync my cloud save for the game on startup. When I have some time I will try again on my other 360s to see if I can replicate the issue.

 
Calm down. The person just said they were skipping it, not that they wished she fell down a flight of stairs.
People are allowed to skip things. I'm also skipping it because Captain/Miss Marvel is not a hero I've ever particularly cared about. Same reason I skipped Thor 1 & especially 2, though I'm glad I saw Ragnarok. If I'm being honest though, the marketing and her comments have only reinforced this decision and I assume that's the case for others as well.

I can't imagine why anyone would get so worked up about someone skipping something unless they had a financial interest in the product.

As far as the “Captain” Marvel movie goes, I have no interest in it at all. Besides all the crap Larson has said, I still wouldn’t want to see it because Ms. Marvel has always been a poor character in the comics. She hadn’t even been called Captain until this past decade and she’s been around for a long time. There has never been anything special about her except her powers(which Rogue took when she was first starting out). Most of the characters career has been relegated to hitching onto another character or team just to be relevant. If Marvel wanted a strong female hero, then there are plenty others out there. She-Hulk is one of my favorite Marvel characters overall. They could have used the Wasp better too. I doubt they could get the rights at the time, but Hope Summers would have been better too.
