I'm confused so skin color should determine if someone can wear a shirt from a billion dollar franchise?

Is this wrong too?

Early Spider-Man is very close to an average person, but he learns and improves himself through his failures.

Wasn't this suppose to be a True Crime game?

It started as a new IP called Black Lotus.
One year into development, Activision said This is kinda like True Crime. We need a good True Crime game, turn it into a True Crime game.
The game got delayed and the cost raised, so Activision decided to cancel it when it was 98% done.
Time moved on, and Square got the right to publish the game. They didnt have the rights to the True Crime IP, so they turned it into a new IP, Sleeping Dogs.

why didnt they fucking make a sequel

They worked on an MMO spinoff called Triad Wars, which they cancelled.

Which is sad because Sleeping Dogs could have used a good sequel.

Minor nitpick: For it to be considered discrimination, avoid worded cakes. They could easily say "I wouldn't write that for anyone", and win the case. It's when they refuse a cake they WOULD make for someone else that they are discriminating.

Both of these cases asked for custom made cakes, not just a cake.

"PS4 is worth it for the exclusives!"

Bullshit. I thought about getting a discounted PS4 a few days ago, so I went to check out the exclusive titles on the system.. There are very few outstanding exclusives, certainly not enough to justify buying the console. Literally only two that I would purchase. Most of them looked lame as fuck tbh.

Really?

What are your two?

I'm curious

Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy 14

Considered Dragon Quest and the newer "Shadow of Collosus" game but, eh.

Certainly not enough to justify a new console this late into the game

Not the two I'd expect.

I was thinking more Yakuza, Bloodborne, Spider-Man or God of War.

Well personally I didn't like Horizon Zero Dawn, thought it was over hyped.

usa dropped bombs to "save" lives

This about Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Because it did save lives.

The US knew Operation Downfall would be costly, and we still use medals made for it to give to soldiers now. Projections put the casualties far above the bombs.

The US put out flyers telling civilians to leave military cities as they were going to bomb them, so we gave warning.

And Japanese generals were planning on spreading the Bubonic Plague in Southern California in September, so it's not like they weren't coming up with plans to kill thousands or potentially millions of people just to screw over their enemy.

Do they openly donate to pro gay stuff or did they simply stop donating to anti gay stuff?

After they got caught red handed they then promised to stop donating a bunch of their money to anti-gay organizations.

Yes, I already stated they simply stopped donating to anti gay stuff (or at least "promised" to). But is that all they did?

They do plenty of stuff, they gave food out to people who donated blood after the Pulse Nightclub shooting, on a Sunday too.

People just ignore it because they want to sit on their superior post.

TP was fine.

skyward sword on the other hand. yikes.

never understood the hate for skyward sword. is it the forced motion controls?

I didn't think the motion controls were bad, they actually handled well for the most part, problem is the combat gets annoying because they tried to make it almost puzzle based with defenses and they put too much emphasis on the sword with it too.

The way the world is handled is bad, there's a lot of unfun backtracking and it puts a damper on some of the great things about the game (Groose)

I did really enjoy TP though.

Because that's largely the same scenario.

And that was shit and nowhere near close to the original.

The point of acting is to be someone that you arent. Were you upset that Frodo wasnt played by a real Hobbit?

Are you okay with The Last Airbender's casting?

Being gay or being a fantasy creature isn't something tied to ethnicity. Playing a ethnic Polish character kinda is.

And when it's a discriminated group being looked over yet again in a story with roots in their own folkore, it kinda sucks.

It's the fact that nowadays even someone like Witold Pilecki wouldn't be cast as a Pole in a Hollywood nowadays.

The only Slavic is playing a show original character, which doesn't really count as one of the series characters.

Great job showcasing Poland's biggest piece of cultural relevance since WW2 (where over 20% of their population was killed, and their history and culture was targeted by the Soviet under occupation)

Although I guess getting screwed over really is the best way to represent Poland.

Yep.

Ciri grows up over the series.

From being in mommy's uteruses to being roughly 17 at the end of it.

So this is far too old for adapting the whole series.

Although some scenes like the female bandit rape one will have less people freaked out if she's over 18.

But still seems like we have no ethnic polls, and they are race changing some of the Sorcereress of course.

I dont remember that.

Personally with the exception of the load issues I founf Ground Zeroes to be great.

Phantom Pain's core gameplay is good, and it looks pretty decent graphically but pretty much everything else about it kinda blows.

The story is bad, the only two characters that are good are Kaz and Huey.

If you haven't played Peace Walker, I would actually recommend playing that, especially if you can get a friend to play it with you.

"Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan

Phantom Pain.

What the hell was the staff smoking?

The core gameplay was good, along with Kaz, and Huey.

Everything else sucked big time.

Repetitive levels, the story is a complete disaster, weakest boss fights in the entire series, even PO and PW have better fights, MGO3 was awful which is a shame when it was great in MGS4, the other online modes were bad too, there's no point to Mother Base, the new characters are all uninteresting.... And so on.

Shatterstar is supposed to be an asexual war machine like Master Chief or 47.

That was how Rob Liefeld imagined him back in 1990. Jeph Loeb had other plans, reframing his X-Force story as a defrosting ice queen, taught how to live as a human by edgy 90's teenagers who mosh to the Beastie Boys, sass their parents, and go on dates to the mall (gasp). Shatterstar moved away from Liefeld's vision pretty much from the moment the 1992 X-crossover event ended. I'm kind of sarcastic in my summary of Loeb's influence on the character, but think it was absolutely a good decision. The 90's didn't need anymore anti-hero edgelords.

He's getting shifted back, and people have said the writer made a mistake with it.

An asexual person not understanding humans, to me is more interesting than a character who just had to find someone to love.

Shatterstar was definitely a huge sum up of dumb 90's thing, but he never felt really edgy.

I don't see why they need to push gay actors, we've already had a number in Marvel films.

And we are getting gay characters (Wiccan and Hulking) if Infinity War leaks are legit, and there are more they can play up.

Mystique's real love interest is Destiny, a woman and originally Mystique and Destiny we're going to be Nightcrawler's parents.

Loki getting impregnated by the giant horse is a pretty memorable piece from Norse mythology just for the pure wtf reaction from it.

The TV shows have also had gay or bisexual characters already.

I don't like the way certain things look visually either, and I don't like the direction they took MJ.

If they wanted him to date someone from the Bugle so they could do investigations, why not go real different and use Betty Brant who hasn't been adapted yet.

Another thing that bothers me is how major events didn't happen even eight years into his career, I get they wanted to be different but ehhh.

But Geralt isn't Polish. The author is. The author is involved with the Netflix show. Moreso than the games.

The Witcher is a setting with several regions and nations. There are several liberties the games took with the story too. To the point where the author doesn't even consider them canon.

The Netflix show he already left months ago because of "creative differences" that he can't name specifically because he's under contract?

A character from a Polish novel you mean.

A series deemed so culturally significant, their president gifted it to other nations as an example of Polish culture.

Polish oppression is relevant when ethnic Polish aren't getting to play the main two characters in their own series.

It's frankly bullshit.

Name two polish actors who can play the leads, one of which needs to be pretty famous. Bonus if you can do it without Google.

Why do you need a big name?

Who knew Viggo Morteson before Lord of the Rings?

I pick Marcin Doroncinski.

I watch overseas films a lot so I know him

Big name = draw and attention

LotR had Ian McKellan and Elijah Wood. GoT had Sean Bean. That's probably part of the reason they picked Henry Cavill.

Also, this just came to me.

You are saying Polish actors are so underrepresented that you can't name a single one off the top of your head, and you are saying it doesn't matter?

How underrepresented are they then?

Psst, sequels almost always do worse than their predecessor at the box office. ESB brought in less money than ANH, but is widely considered the best of the whole franchise.

But TLJ set a record for their drop.

The highest from week 1 to week 2.

And yet it was still the highest-grossing film of the year.

Pretty positive stuff like Fast and Furious 8 made more money the whole year than the December TLJ was out.

If we spill over into 2018, Infinity War is over $2 Billion.

Ayyy buddy see that close date on the budget you see how it's April 2018.

It wasn't the highest grossing film of 2017 if you just include the money it made in 2017.
