My first thought was that this doesn't make sense at all. The campaign obviously doesn't need to be remade. But remaking the multiplayer while still being faithful to it is an interesting idea. If that's something they can do. The MCC brought Halo: CE multiplayer to a ton of people that had never experienced it before. But it's heavily overshadowed by Reach, 2, and 3 multiplayer being accessible in the same game.

That said, it probably just makes more sense to port MCC over in its entirety.

The plot twist at the end came out of nowhere for me and I almost broke down. Like I had absolutely no reason to expect that to happen and it just hit me like a truck.

The stinger with Godzilla's beating heart felt like it aped a little too much from GMK and didn't really fit tonally with the rest of the film imo. Kinda funny since both this movie and that deal with a Godzilla directly linked to WW2 and have the monster defeated by a dad blowing it up from the inside. :P
Yeah it was pretty obvious that GMK was a major inspiration for Minus One. Even outright stated to be the director's favorite Godzilla movie. I kind of agree with you about the heart, since the mark on Noriko's neck serves a similar purpose of making for an ambiguous ending.

I've always been fond of Whismur and Exploud. Loudred is okay too, but I prefer the other two.

Gen 3 has a lot of good Pokemon. I've liked most of the ones done so far.

You got to think bigger than that. Like being able to bring two different elements to a dual hunt where you have to take down two monsters. Or bringing a hunting horn for solo hunts so you can buff yourself right before switching to your main weapon or healing so you can patch yourself up every time the monster runs without having to waste potions. Or maybe you want to bring one blunt and one blade weapon with part breaker for farming runs so you can more easily cut the tails and break armor in a single go.

Hell, you could keep an "oh shit" weapon that's gemmed out to be more powerful when you're at low health that you just keep in your back pocket in case a hunt is going particularly poorly and you need to take a risk to have any shot at finishing it.

In fact, once you factor gems into the equation it gets even crazier than that. You could have a weapon with a lot of gem slots that you only carry around so you can temporarily get geologist level 3 or something for farming ore and Bone piles before the main hunt.
Yeah perhaps there are some creative things you could do. But with skills still tied mostly to your armor, you're not likely to have a set-up that is optimal for both weapons at the same time. Perhaps that's not a bad thing, but I'd just prefer to focus on one weapon. Maybe when the game does release it will add a new interesting layer to hunts.

I'd also be pretty surprised if horn buffs persisted to other weapons. I think in current games if you switch off horn at the tent you lose the buff. It would certainly make Hunting Horn more popular.

Why would I need a weapon switching mechanic when my weapon already switches between axe and sword? But yeah, I think most players already had a pocket bowgun. Now they're literally going to have a pocket bowgun. I'm not fond of ranged weapons, so I'll likely be carrying two melee weapons around most of the time. For me though, Switchaxe already does everything I'd want to do in a hunt. I guess Lance or Gunlance pairs well with it since Switchaxe has no real means of defense.

The new monsters look cool.

I can deal with all that. What I can't deal with is the gross lack of human weaponry available during the level. Contrary to the lore, human guns are so much better than covenant ones.

You don't know pain until you've had to empty a dozen plasma pistols into a hunter's back.
I don't think I'd say in Halo CE that the human guns are clearly better than the Covenant ones. The Plasma Pistol is arguably the best gun in the entire game. And the Plasma Rifle is also really good. It's just the Needler that is pretty lacking. It's really such a small pool of weapons though, so certainly you have more variety in the human ones.

But yes, having a sniper or pistol or rocket is preferable for hunters. But even the AR works if you have nothing else just because Hunters are not very threatening in that game.
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi
<sneaky beeping>
I don't think the pistol is needed when there's enough sniper ammo lying around that you could feasibly hold onto the sniper for most of the level. It's still pretty useful inside the ship in larger rooms. No doubt the shotgun being available would have been great.

I've never found it to be the hardest mission for me personally, but it's obviously up there. And I think more than any other level it exemplifies how important grenades are in Halo: CE. The fight at the base of the gravity well always boils down to me just spamming the hell out of grenades.

I did not think Mightyena was that popular. I just went with Dustox because I figured it'd be low on votes. And I assumed Zigzagoon was going to be the clear favorite. Apparently not.

I get not wanting to watch a 4 hour video because there are a lot of youtube videos of that length with subjects that I couldn't care less about. Like I don't particularly care to watch a 9 hour retrospective on a video game.

This video is a very in-depth look at a niche subject and it doesn't waste any of its 4 hour length. I thought it was very interesting, and I'll probably take a look at some of her other videos now.

I played one of those games and would get pissed at the RNG. Several times during a 99% chance to make a shot, I'd get that 1%. Seemed like once you started getting into a groove the game would throw in harder enemies at you. You end up being way under powered.
Somewhere in the middle to later stages of the campaign when new enemies stop being introduced, the game shifts heavily into XCOM's favor. In both Firaxis games, high ranked soldiers are basically minigods in their own right. They can still die if you're not careful, but the abilities and equipment you have access to allow you to blow through missions without too much trouble.

Lots of really good ones in this batch. Giving a pity vote to Slugma, since it's unlikely he'll get more than a couple.

Steelix, Dunsparce, Snubbull and Gligar are all pretty solid, but not particularly among my favorites either. Voting for Dunsparce is the funniest option though.

Also, Snubbull is the only shiny Pokemon I ever caught. In Pokemon Y during a Nuzlocke.

I've never played one of these games in my life. Are they worth checking out?
Yes. It's very unique as far as strategy games go because of the separation between the battle map and the campaign map. Campaign gameplay is similar to many other 4x strategy games. It's turn-based, and you build up your empire. But battles are real-time tactics. Control and give orders to each individual unit in your army, adjust their formation, etc.

Anyway, I'm extremely skeptical of a Star Wars Total War actually being conceived. I'd certainly be interested though. I think if they keep doing fictional stuff it will be 40k.

The failure of the Wii U never made sense to me. The gamepad and name were both really dumb. But it was a fine system other than those, and it had some excellent games. Yeah it sucks having to actually pay additional money to get a real controller, but the Pro Controller is at least one of the best controllers ever made.

Weezing has a good shot in this one since he's not up against any standout Pokemon. Poison types are the best.

Good game, but a pretty disappointing Halo game. Both campaign and multiplayer was massive letdowns compared to every Halo game before. And even the games after were better in certain regards. Halo 5 had much better multiplayer, and Halo Infinite was just better all-around.

I think my unpopular opinion about the game though is that the story didn't do a whole lot for me. I was actually much more intrigued by the story set up in Spartan Ops strangely enough. The gameplay for it was alright, but I liked the direction that I thought Halo 5's story was going to be headed in. Of course, as we all know, they utterly screwed that up.

It really is a close one, huh? I'm surprised Tentacruel is doing so well. I would have expected the Tentas to be written off as the Zubats of the sea. Also didn't expect Slowbro or Victreebel to do so well, but it's nice to see they have fans.
The Zubat and Tentacool lines have that negative reputation almost entirely because of how common they are. They're all really well-designed Pokemon I think. Any Pokemon that appears that frequently isn't going to be all that exotic or interesting. Though Zubat is a little bit different in that once it got to become Crobat, it became an easy to get Pokemon that also happened to be really good all the way through to the end of the game. Tentacruel is also pretty solid, but it has a million other Water types to compete with.

I assume it must have been Pokemon Gold. I only ever beat the E4 though, and never progressed much through Kanto. But that's considered postgame anyway.

I was pretty bad at actually completing games when I was a kid. I'm pretty certain I beat Super Mario 64 as well, but not with 120 stars. I came back years later to do that.

Making their power levels match equally would be stupid and missing the point. Kong is supposed to represent nature and its inherent gentleness, while Godzilla is supposed to represent humanity and its penchant for destruction.

Also, Kong doesn't need a high power level because he's clever. Godzilla, on the other hand, doesn't need to be clever because he's literally a walking nuke.
Godzilla is shown to be extremely intelligent and clever in the Monsterverse though. Especially when it comes to combat intelligence. I think it might be more fair to say that Godzilla doesn't really need to rely on tools like Kong does.

Also, I'm not sure for this particular version of Godzilla that I agree with your first point either. This is a version of Godzilla that mostly goes out of his way to avoid causing destruction towards humans. Monsterverse Godzilla is driven by preserving some kind of natural balance between humanity, the Titans, and the rest of nature. But he still has the will to dominate to achieve that goal.

Because Kong lacks his aggression, agility, and fighting ability that he has in other films. And because they changed Godzilla's origin without changing Kong's to match.

Godzilla is a mutated dinosaur. Without the atomic bomb, he's the kind of carnivorous beast that would get its jaw and neck broken by Kong. They should drop a bomb on Kong and give him super powers to level the playing field.

Oh, but wait! The Monsterverse changed Godzilla's origin. He's millions of years old and he's always been a radioactive giant. Cool. Then they can change Kong's origin and powers too. He doesn't need to be "just an ape" matched against an enhanced radioactive lizard.

Keep in mind, I'm more a fan of Godzilla than of Kong. But I still believe in a power balance when it fits the characters. If you're going to have Batman vs Spider-Man, have Batman get bitten by a radioactive bat and make the fight fair.

Also, Godzilla being demoted is a point of contention. Why are we following the lesser monster around when there's a stronger monster we should be following? Why is it the Adventure of Robin with special guest star Batman?
Kong doesn't need to match Godzilla in ability because that's not the point. Even with Godzilla vs. Kong, everyone knew well before the movie was even out that they'd team up. These movies are about Kong and Godzilla being Earth's (and by extension, humanity's) defenders.

Should Kong be buffed to be clearly physically stronger than Godzilla is? I think that'd be fair. But again, I don't think it really matters all that much.

I never really understood the Wartortle appeal. Squirtle and Blastoise are both great, just never really been a fan of him. I think he's my least favorite of first 9. Hell, I'd probably pick Caterpie over him too.

Anyway, the Bulbasaur family has always been the best. All three of them. Venusaur is my pick though.

Gonna see it once it releases on streaming, can't wait.

I for one like the human actors they've had in these movies, and in godzilla vs kong 1 I was really happy to see rebecca hall and alexander skarsgard. However, I don't care for the stranger things girl I don't really see why the critics or even audience love her. Hope she's not in godzilla vs kong 2.

Unironically thought Kong: Skull Island was good. Godzilla 2019 was kinda disappointing in that felt like they blew their load too soon introducing King Ghidorah the 3-headed dragon when I thought he was basically Godzilla's ultimate nemesis. Still fun popcorn movie.

godzilla vs kong 1 was just so dumb that throughout it I was like "yeah sure, that may as well happen" and I was fine with it.
I thought Godzilla x Kong was better than Godzilla vs. Kong in almost every way. Also, Millie Bobby Brown didn't return, so you don't have to worry about her.

I really wanted to love Galaxy, and parts of it I do (especially the soundtrack). But if I'm being perfectly honest, I played Galaxy twice all the way through and Odyssey only once, and Odyssey was still infinitely more memorable.
I think trying to look at it as objectively as possible, Odyssey is a way better game than Galaxy. I would say Odyssey is probably one of the most finely-tuned games ever made. For me though, Galaxy is by far the more memorable experience and is one of my favorite games of all time. A lot of that is because of nostalgia perhaps. I did return to play through it as an adult and still loved it as much as I did as a kid though. The music is also a major factor as well, since it adds a lot to the whole overall feel of the game.

You could pretty much say that about most Godzilla films. Or even just kaiju films in general. I like the Monsterverse because it recaptures that feeling but also structures and organizes it.

I'm fine with the controls in all the 3D Mario games, and while the camera is never perfect, it's mostly tolerable in all of them as well.

Odyssey is just another level. It is the best controlling Mario game by far. I have not played any of the 3D Marios since playing Odyssey, but I could see going back to the old ones being jarring. Odyssey is just that smooth.

Are people genuinely that outraged about this though? Games Workshop does something that draws criticism like every other day. The people making youtube videos about it are going to make videos about all of those things because that's what get them views.

I do get that there might be some valid criticism about this specifically, but I honestly just don't see why anyone would care. 40k is such an old and bloated franchise that you can pick out millions of things to be bothered by.
