  1. It's so pretty!!! Someone pull the trigger on that thing!
  2. Wait, there's a campaign in COD4?!? The Infinity Ward CODs actually have good campaigns, particularly with MW2. MW2 was the best of the modern warfares as far as campaigns go. I did like some elements of the BO2 campaign, especially with how the decisions factored into the ending. It was pretty bland otherwise though. I'm still waiting for Activision to give us a pure COD zombie game. Even with all the powerups and upgrades, zombie mode gets pretty old after awhile. I always come back to it. It gets old, but after a while it gets pretty fun again
  3. Glad we'll be keeping a much cleaner and updated list! (thumbs u
  4. I still don't think the massive size of the Xbox One and lower resolution would be worth the same price as the PS4. And the games for the One haven't really appealed to me with most being shooters and what not.
  5. Fully agree. I actually had tears in my eyes when Gwen passed, even though I knew it was going to happen. They still should have had it happen on the bridge. Yeah if I am going to criticize the movie that is #1. When I saw Peter swing her up to the bridge I was like.......OMG here we gooooooo Don't think they did the Green Goblin bridge scene because it was already done in Spider-Man 1. The clock tower was kinda neat when the spinning clock stopped at 1:21 . That was a cool nod to the books. Wow. I didn't even notice that. Good eye
  6. Fully agree. I actually had tears in my eyes when Gwen passed, even though I knew it was going to happen. They still should have had it happen on the bridge. Definitely heard some people tear up on opening night
  7. I hope they don't change the costume. The ASM 2 costume is just too good for them to throw it away. I mean, it has gotten a lot of praise. I understand the alternate might be more realistic, but the new costume just makes it look like he stepped out of the books. And with that side by side comparison, I just think the new costume knocks the other one out of the park. The alternate one has eyes that make him look surprised all the time
  8. People are very split on this. Webb is getting things accurate from the comics. Ex. the webshooters, the personality, the movements of Spidey, and best of all that suit in the recent movie. He was also able to show Peter's intelligence and especially Gwen's in this past movie as well I don't know man, I am a huge Spidey fan (obviously) but after what I saw from ASM 1 and what I am hearing about this film (seeing it this weekend), I am pretty underwhelmed. I disagree a bit on how Webb is "getting things accurate from the comics" Just because Spidey made his webshooters and his costume looks exactly like the comics in this current series does not equal a win for me...It needs more than that. Much, much more. Also, linking all these villains to Oscorp is lame and NOTHING like the comics. Look how far they strayed from the comics for the villains - Those pics of Rhino and GG make me want to Anyway, I will wait until I see ASM 2 to reserve final judgement, but my expectations are quite low... I just don't get how hard it is to make a good Spidey movie? It should not be this difficult!!! Avi Arad made a big stink about Fiege "getting all the credit" for Marvel's recent success, but that guy really, really needs to look at what Marvel is doing and actually honour the source material... Oh yeah, I know that it needs more than that. But as far as looking back to the original trilogy, there's no doubt in my mind that these ASM movies are truer to the comics. Of course the villains aren't true to the books, which is why I didn't mention it. I was just saying that these films follow the books more accurately compared to Raimi's even if it's just a little bit. One thing's for sure imo though. The current movie really captures Spidey's personality from the comics, which ironically enough has some fans complaining about it From which comics? You're retelling the origin of Spider-man and not including JJJ, introducing Gwen Stacey and her Dad already, killing off her Dad in the first movie, NOT having Spider-man catch the burglar who killed his Uncle Ben (which is a pretty important part of the origin)... These movies are NOTHING like the comics, OTHER THAN, Spider-man wise cracking. NOTHING like the comics is an exaggeration. Like I said, I was comparing Raimi's to Webb's. Webb's is more accurate than Raimi's. It's a reboot, a new cast, new characters others may not have heard before. Of course they'd retell the origin. Yes, catching the burglar was important to the origin, but only to the point that he found out he was the one who murdered Uncle Ben. And that's what Peter found out in the reboot. He found out the guy who killed his Uncle Ben was the burglar he let go. As far as this reboot being more accurate than Raimi's, Gwen is introduced as his first true love, Captain Stacy dies, little things like having webshooters, the costume, the wisecracks, his intelligence is shown more, and some other things from the current movie that I won't mention just yet so I don't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it. And honestly, I find it respectful to not include JJJ in these movies, at least not physically. JK Simmons is just that guy that in my mind could never be out done in that role. But again, these Webb films aren't exactly like the comics, but more accurate compared to Raimi's, other than these villains being linked to Oscorp to set up this Sinister Six movie

  11. I've seen it, but you might want to put that part in spoilers for those who haven't....
  12. I'd love to see Hobgoblin and Carnage on screen. I don't know why, but I've always wanted to see Kraven as the main villain
  13. While I am glad you liked the movie but after re-reading your review I guess what I still don't get is what about ASM 1 you didn't like. I get people thought that main villain was lame, but guess what so is the real lizard back in the 1960's. I actually thought the actor who played Dr Connors did an amazing job, and the CGI was just fine with me. I mean lets give these first 2 movies some credit here since they used what 3 C-list villains without going to the main 3 just yet. 1. Venom 2. Green Goblin (Norman) 3 Doc Ock Garfield is by far the better actor and person to play the part over Tobey. I am very critical and outspoken so when it comes to people not enjoying Garfield as Spider-man/PP I shake my head probably the most ever since joining the boards. I completely agree. And you hit the nail on the head regarding the villains they've had to use because of the original trilogy already using the main ones. But I thought Harry as Goblin in ASM 2 was absolutely spectacular. I completely loved him as a villain in ASM 2. Had he been the only villain in this movie, I think this would've been my favorite Spidey movie so far
  14. Loved the villains here. Also, the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone is top notch!
  15. They are incredibly detailed action figures with limited posability due to the costume, clothes, etc. they wear. I always found their prices fair because of how much detail are in them especially face sculpts and accessories/clothes, but there are some that I would give second thoughts on for paying that much
  16. Same with me. I beat "The Last of Us" a few months ago, LOVED that, and ever since I've barely played anything except some old school Street Fighter 2 for 15 minute bursts here and there. I've barely touched my shiny new PS4 in months. It happens. We're in that weird lull period shortly after a new console launch where there's a ton of stuff in the oven but nothing ready yet. Eventually something new will come along and pull you back in. Have you tried Infamous: Second Son? Plot sucks, but I loved the gameplay
  17. Batman: Arkham City wasn't listed on the sale page and I'm not a PS+ member, so I didn't even notice that it was being offered for free to them. Thanks for pointing it out. no problem you should give it a try, i been a members since it started and loving it. Love the PS+ subscription Yup! I bought 5 of the 1 year membership cards over Black Friday for $30 each and now I'm set til 2018!
  18. I don't play Metal Gear games so I have no idea, but it's a $30 game on x1/ps4 for a physical copy and $20 on 360/ps3 if you buy it digitally. Maybe that'll help. Thanks! I didn't know it was $30, I assumed they'd charge full price. Well, it's only the prequel to the full Metal Gear Solid 5 game. From what I've heard, Ground Zeros isn't needed to understand or play The Phantom Pain when that comes out maybe next year or so.
