Superhero culture is embarrassing
J4MES OX4D replied to phil bottle's topic in Books / Comics / Reading
It's one of those things that if you're a fan of the genre, you may like it for decades to come just like gaming. There is no age cut-off point with things like that unlike some toys for instance or 50 year old men still playing the likes of COD. A lot of this superhero stuff is quite mature actually, plus there is an appreciation for how production quality has evolved from decade to decade. What becomes embarrassing about it is when grown adults squabble about such things but all in all, I don't think you're ever too old to keep enjoying such material. There is certainly a lot more embarrassing things in this industry right now like all these woke reboots for instance. -

I was quite disappointed with Drift0r’s video yesterday - it started off quite promising and then didn’t really deliver anything conclusive and the latter part was all speculation. I don’t think people really care how it works or why it’s in the game - they just want it removed and rightly so. COD has never been the same since it turned into a sweatfest and lobby matchmaking was dictated by things other than connection. Ironically it was only a couple of years ago Drift0r said SBMM did not exist in any COD game and he waged a $1000 bet or something and was subsequently proved wrong and had to pay up. He then got ridiculed by even the devs. I think we need someone like Battlenonsense to dig deep and investigate this properly but a lot of the workings will probably never be truly discovered or ever disclosed and they probably change over time especially when the monetisation kicks in.

I think a positive will be that he lives in London so he wont be housebound in a hotel the entire time like he was at Man Utd.

Spurs may win a trophy now at the expense of attractive football and a squad harmony. Mourinho isn't the man he used to be - his style of football isn't effective any more plus he's lost quite a lot of respect in the game for his attitude, behaviour and overall antics. I though he would've mended this at Man Utd after his horrendous exit from Chelsea but nope, he was just as big of a prick there too. I didn't expect him to ever manage in England again.

Pochettino sacked. No surprises there. Darren Anderton favourite for the role😎

I have died countless times just trying to place that only to get no kills! I've had a few huge strikes on Euphrates and Piccadilly because of the spawns, otherwise it's pretty ineffective on a lot of maps outside of ground war.

I think it's a burger. Samuel L Jackson ate one with cheese in Pulp Fiction.

I use the Tom Cruise Missile as it's largely a guaranteed kill plus you have even get triples on ground war or 10v10 maps like Euphrates Bridge. Not quite as iconic as the predator missile but still very fun to use especially when you see everyone panic as you glide the missile in. Care package is another thing I run as you can earn two or three a match in some modes and despite seeing a lot of Personal Radars, Shield Turrets and CUAV's, it's a good way of landing high-end streaks with low end effort. I always struggle with the 3rd slot although I have had some success with the Wheelson and VOTL. Certainly the latter is very common among players it seems. The Support Helo seems astonishingly powerful especially in larger modes so I may give that a try someday. I don't really bother too much going for high-end streaks though.

It's not Half Life 3 but it's something at least. Pity it's VR but I would expect this to be exceptional compared to the usual quality of games in this format.

Until Monday 10am PST/6pm GMT. Good deal but I'm gonna wait until after Christmas.
-
Inevitable really. It's just the map used in spec ops and they would never have created such a vast space if it wasn't going to be used for BR. I may give it a go but it's not something I'll likely bother with. Hopefully it wont detract too many people away from the core multiplayer. I have a feeling this game is going to change dramatically in December when the premium aspects come in.

I think the system will probably be digital only but the storage will be cartridge SSD's or an external range of storage which can be inserted and replaced with ease rather than screws having to be undone and warranty's getting put under risk. Games are pushing and surpassing 100gb so if you have a few installed and don't want to delete anything, just swap to a different storage drive with a cartridge maybe..

It's a great package, £30 gets you Halo Reach, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST and Halo 4 - that's like a fiver a game!

Company of Heroes 2 FREE on Steam until November 17th 10am PST.

Some very positive reviews coming in so far. I thought single player games were dead according to EA? Nice to see Respawn to the business again although I probably will only get this in the sale or through a one-off sub of Origin Access. £54.99 for a 10 hour game is just a bit too much especially if you can play it over the course of a month for around £12 along with 200 other games.
-
Yeah it's pretty bad. I certainly wouldn't have this a chosen killstreak at 15 kills. What makes it worse is you presumably deploy the care package in a safe place i.e spawn, so if you get a Juggernaut, it automatically equips straight away in which then you have to suffer a painfully slow walk just to try and find some enemies. It's very easy to evade too. I would up the walk speed plus make it so you can choose when to deploy it.
-
Halo Reach is only £6.99 and the MCC as a whole is £29.99 which is a great deal. No news on when the rest of the games will be finished though.

This is the most astonishing game I have ever seen! The landing approach to Southampton looked as close to real life as imaginable and the water effects in Venice are absolutely remarkable. There is gonna be so much to see and places to visit it’s gonna be an incredible experience -

I haven't really noticed SBMM as much in this game as I usually put my poorer performances down to not finding many people on the larger maps, getting screwed over by the shitty netcode,having a mare against users with 725's or ones that just play dirty. It's definitely there especially in FFA but I don't think it's as prominent as it was in games like Advanced Warfare. Ideally I would like SBMM removed from all COD games and have it purely connection-based like it was back in the old days. There's just too many algorithms in play now plus lag comp can be a bitch too. Black Ops 2 started this and things have never been the same since although it's got worse since they moved to away from P2P to dedi/listen servers. At least BO2 did factor in connection as a primary but SBMM seems to take priority these days in COD games. When the Battle Pass element is released in December, I'm expecting standard users to be heavily matched with sweaty premium stream players, so I envisage the SBMM aspect to get even more noticeable also. In a months time, this game could be a very different experience and not for the better either.

He's posting it for clicks and attention no doubt - if this was only known to him, he should've contacted the devs privately with evidence rather than advertise it on a monetised YouTube video in which others would see and reproduce the glitch.

I've been playing ground war for a few days now and I don't think I have seen this exploit in action but the more it becomes known, the more people that will try it and knowing IW, they wont plug this very quickly either I bet. Hopefully the guy that posted the video gets done for exploiting too.
