I feel like the only person who actually likes Thor 2.  It's not perfect but I enjoy it quite a bit.  

I didn't hate it but it's low on the list for me. Eternals is the bottom of the ladder by far. I probably liked Thor 2 better than Quantumania.

New Universal All-Access Rewards are up...best options in IMHO are Eastern Promises and About Time. Nothing else enticing to me.

My Just for you deal is like $1 off the sale price for F1 “because I like games like that”. No, I don’t.

Ah, usually we see it earlier. Will check back later.

My expectations were low for Gollum but man. As someone who can pretty much quote the entire movies. I just want some great LOTR games.

Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War were great LOTR games IMHO

Does anyone know of a website like DekuDeals but for Digital Movies and TV Shows?

It’s not just for iTunes either, although I tend to find they have the best sales.

Slickdeals usually lists such things as well.

Thanks to all in the community for generously sharing Screen Passes here.  It was great while it lasted!

 

-MyUniversalRewards new movies are up, and include "Being John Malkavich" (hd) and "12 Monkeys" (4k)

 

 

Thanks for that reminder, finally a movie that I'd like that I don't already have. Grabbed 12 Monkeys.

Picked up Akka Arrh and it’s brilliantly unique but I’m trying to decide if I like it or not. Still smiling huge while playing it, it’s so trippy. Love Jeff Minter games.

CAGCast, being an independent discussion of a few friends who like games, can have a stance on whatever they want. If you don't want to hear it, you don't have to listen.

 

It was appropriate to discuss trans rights in relation to Hogwart's Legacy. Every game journalist included that as well, in light of JK's comments. This didn't happen in a CAG vacuum.

 

We are seeing sickening new laws being enacted across the US (and elsewhere) to bully and further disenfranchise trans citizens for purely political reasons. The legislators who support it see trans citizens as an easy target that will get them more votes from their base. In the meantime real human lives, now treated as less-than, are being damaged. It's a fair point of discussion, and having a stance on it is not "hollow". 

 

Anyway... back to the games. Or whatever CAG wants to discuss.

This is pretty ridiculous. Not only will you have to have bought the DLC for The Outer Worlds to get the $9.99 special upgrade price. But the GamePass base game is not eligible so you’re going to have to buy that too. I thought only Sony did stupid stuff like this.

That is crazy. Give it a few months and perhaps the whole thing will be $9.99, which is how it went with Control.

Rolled credits on Midnight Suns. What a great game! It's shame it didn't do better financially, I'd buy a sequel day one.

 

I bought the discounted Legendary edition, well worth the $$$, so there are still 3 more DLC characters (with missions) coming. I'll go back to it after they are all here.

I haven’t posted in a long time, but that is truly sad.

I finished Midnight Suns about a month ago and loved it. I usually am not into those types of strategy games and actually mostly disliked X-Com for the difficulty, but MS was great.

It sucks that you have to play about 10 hours before it gets started and the tutorial is bad, but it gets much, much better as it goes on. I actually even felt real sadness by the end of the game. I just wish that a sequel was possible because even while playing that game I knew there would probably not be a real follow up because it was just too niche.

I have no idea who thought this game would actually sell well, but I salute them because it’s easily one of the best games to release in 2022. I don’t even regret buying that Legendary edition 2 weeks before it went on sale for 30% off.

 

I'm probably getting towards the end of it now and really enjoying it. I like the Deadpool DLC and Venom comes next week(!). Hopefully it finds new life on Gamepass... still those 2 people leaving don't mean the studio is dead. They may have just wanted to go their own way.

Hey Wombat, thanks for the recommendation on Midnight Suns, I'm really enjoying it! I started only a few days before the Deadpool DLC came out, so I've been enjoying having him on my team.

 

I'm a bit concerned that I'll have finished the story by the time the rest of the DLC comes out. After the story is there still anything to do? I don't see myself doing another playthrough for Storm and Venom just because it's such a long game.

Finally getting into Midnight Suns and I’m really enjoying it. You’re welcome for my sacrifice assuming it hits Gamepass soon.

Mostly great.  A couple of game crashes to dashboard, but there are enough autosaves that it isn't an issue.  It's crashed maybe 5 times so far.  Just the Blood and Wine DLC to finish.  I didn't notice ray tracing enough to deal with the sub 4k 60 fps, so played performance mode for most of it.  I've enjoyed it as much as my first completion back when it launched.

 

I've gotten back into it too since the update. Had finished the main game but not the DLC a few years ago. I took me a few hours to get back into the systems of the game, but it's a lot of fun. I tried ray tracing but it was too smeary-looking while playing, performance is better. I did switch on ray tracing during some cut-scenes and it looked great there. Not worth the hassle of switching it on and off though.

 

Finished the Heart of Stone DLC, that was really good... now playing Blood and Wine. Holy crap, howlongtobeat says this is 25-40 more hours? That's a whole other game... 

 

The quests and characters in the Witcher are still far more interesting that most RPGs I've played. No offense, Skyrim
