It was lucky Beenox even got away from the CoD mines for CTR. Too bad they're back there starting with Black Ops Cold War

So yeah, only Toys for Bob are left.

All their studios bounce in and out of being support devs to main devs and back again.

It's like ActiBlizz play tennis with them.

Uhhh, Activision Shanghai helped with Crash 4. There’s also that.

...huh. I never realized that...

I'm still trying to figure out how they got to where it is. I don't think it was rushed or anything. It's as if they were told halfway through a work day "Hey, Wonder Woman 2 has been greenlite. I need the final script by EOD." It literally feels that mistakenly put together.

Like as if they just had a few ideas they wanted to do but didn't think of a way to actually tie them together into a movie.

Also, real talk, the movie was delayed for months and that's the best CGI they could render for it? Some of these shots made that final fight in Black Panther look decent.

Yeah, massive letdown. I re-watched the first movie after seeing it and god, the difference is night and day.

And many more studios hopefully to also come on board to make some more varied experiences. It'll be interesting to see just how this open world plays out.

What if the villian is already bald?

shave his body hair

How do you shave calamity Gannon?

Me playing Cities Skylines: look both sides

...

I ALWAYS SUSPECTED YOU, CHIRPER!

Well there was this

that's probably been every game at some point

I think Ace Combat 7 saw a similar event.

Apparently, some reviewers played the game using the novice playstyle (the game had two control modes where one gave the player more freedom with certain maneuvers while this one limited control for newcomers and ease of play) but then turned around and complained about the flight mechanics being too restrictive/ aged.

Idk, my friend was telling me about it when I was first getting into the game so I didn't pay too much attention. I believe the overall argument is that some went into the game thinking that the planes were/ should control like they do in GTA or something when that's never been the case for the series.

Devil May Cry 5 has something kinda built for that: the music actually is variable and changes depending on your performance in combat (the better you do, the more "complete" it sounds), so a lot of people as soon as they learned this started betting on what journalists would say the game's music suck because they could not play the game and placed the blame on it. PCGamer took the bait, hook, line and sinker for the Gamescom preview.

It happens with game reviewers/streamers with just about everything. 

Fall Guys and Furious

could you imagine?....

FF Tactics

Or I guess F&F Tactics

King of Fighters 98: Fast and Furious edition 

So Todd's gonna port Skyrim to F&F then? Vin Diesel gets in a bad crash, the screen fades to black and as he comes to he hears "Hey, you, you're finally awake"...

Hyrule warriors: Age of fast

Now with more Rolling goron racing!

It depends, I could see that being someone trying to be honest about the work's flaws. When I recommend something to someone I'll cover the negatives too just to give my full perspective and as a "warning" (lol). And pretty much everyone has one thing they really like even if it has a lot of problems.

power's back now

I thought it was pretty good 

It was okay...

very mild spoilerz to follow

I thought it was alright, but not as good as the first film. It does have a few issues that should've been ironed out.

Can't wait to see a James Bond world in Kingdom Hearts.

Or Rocky.

I think Warner Bros would take better advantage of a potential MGM buy, and I'm not keen on them either.

We probably shoulda let Comcast buy Fox tbh. Disney is too big now. But at the time everyone was rooting for Disney to buy it just for the MCU expansions when no one even seems to care about it anymore after Endgame.

Problem with that is that Comcast is arguably a worse company in terms of treating its subsidiaries, so it's not really a change for the better.
Frankly, i'm not too keen on these scenarios that say we're reaching more and more a small group of monopolies rather than multiple movie companies each with their own set of IPs.

Considering that WB owns the bulk of MGM’s film library as it is (the pre-1986 stuff; they also own a decent amount of UA’s films as well); I’ll be surprised if AT&T doesn’t get them in the end. The big pushing point for them would be to virtually reunite MGM’s entire film library (and most of UA’s) under one roof. If another conglomerate was able to snatch up MGM, that opportunity is permanently gone.

Granted, AT&T are busy trying to offload the massive amount of debt they have from buying up DirecTV and TimeWarner as it is, but MGM’s asking price is significantly less than those two ($5B vs $67B / $85B), and I presume they could bring the price down with some negotiation.

I feel bad for the guy who really really likes Pong

Inkopolis would look less colourful but otherwise it wouldn't have changed much.

Tetris is worthless without its vast cast and deep story.

Might as well watch the Disney movies that directly follow their plot in KH, because that's what the series mostly is gameplay-wise.

Some games I like, which attempt to fill you with fear and dread, would be even more unsettling if there were no one around.

aaaand another game studio down the drain...

That's... somehow even worse.

Oh god. That's terrible news.

If it wasn't for the simple fact of EA putting in more money, I question why anyone would want EA anywhere near them considering their history.

When things go from bad to devastatingly worse

Codemasters:

I don't even understand the reasoning behind this, Codemasters nowadays is just doing racing car games, and EA has already 2 IPs of those under it's command, Burnout and Need for Speed. What interest do they have for a third one is beyond me.

@Teoskaven F1 is pretty different to either of those (if I know Burnout and NFS correctly). They can treat F1 more like FIFA or NBA.

Was more referencing Dirt Rally.

Ah.

I think the same could apply to that IP too to be honest.
