    Going to buy it eventually as I liked the demo.   It just didn't strike me as being worth $60 :coffee:

    by Day 3 on Xbox uno, I got the hang of the new style. Games really pushes you to work together and felt like perks do shit now. It's so gun focused which I guess isn't bad but so far each gun felt the same to me. Streaks felt weak and they need to adjust how much you earn in game modes like Dom to make streak more abundant and fun. Game REALLY could use a ground war and they need to bring back Spectre as a specialist. loved shanking peeps from being the lines. I'll be abusing Nomad's trip mines. So many were dumb enough to fall for them. I HATE that they moved streaks off of the left D pad. a small but annoying change. 

     

    I'll be using Ajax (his Shield gun combos is stupid good) Nomad, Crash (Free ammo boost is nice) and Torque (Hello new camping class).

     

    I assume you'll get it on a price drop down the line...

    The exit of James Gunn from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise is far from over. We’re now a couple of weeks removed from when Disney announced that Gunn had been fired from directing Guardians of the Galaxy 3 over offensive tweets he had posted years ago, but the debacle is ongoing. The entire Guardianscast subsequently released a statement in support of Gunn, saying they advocated for his rehiring, and Dave Bautista has gone so far as to say that he’ll ask to be released from his contract if Disney doesn’t use Gunn’s existing Guardians 3 script.

    We now have a bit of clarity on the matter via THR, which reports that Disney does indeed plan on using James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy 3 script, even if he won’t be rehired as director. The Guardians franchise has undeniably been very personal to Gunn, and the filmmaker planned on wrapping up a trilogy of sorts with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Filming wasn’t set to begin until early 2019 so the script no doubt still needed tinkering, so it’ll be interesting to see if Disney/Marvel Studios brings someone else in to get the script into shooting form—assuming Guardians 3 does indeed move forward.

    THR notes that Gunn is currently locked in complicated negotiations with Disney over his exit. He didn’t have a “pay-or-play” deal, which means the filmmaker gets paid whether the movie gets made with him/her or not. But he also didn’t breach his contract, so a settlement must be reached on how much Gunn deserves to be paid for his services, especially if they use his script. THR estimates that to be in the $7 million to $10 million range, if not higher.

     

    As long as these negotiations continue, Gunn won’t be taking on another project. But that doesn’t mean he’s not in demand. THR says the Slither filmmaker is drawing interest from a variety of sources, from Warner Bros. (which maintains the DC Universe…) to Oscar-winning producers. Gunn is not permitted to entertain other offers while his negotiation with Disney is ongoing, but it sounds like he’s going to have a lot of options once this ridiculous ordeal is over.

     

    As previously reported, Disney is unlikely to rehire Gunn as director, so it’ll be interesting to see A. Who they get to take his place and B. What Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has to say about the matter. Gunn’s firing was made at the Disney executive level, not at Marvel, so that puts Feige in a tight spot.

     

    More will be revealed soon, and I have no doubt that Gunn will land on his feet, but this has been a discouraging situation all around. I suppose the use of Gunn’s script should come as some minor comfort, but even then his sensibilities are so specific, it’s nearly impossible for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 to feel like a “James Gunn movie” without him in the director’s chair.

    sheeeeeeeit, this is the shit... finally, Dio's arrival has made JoJo's great again.  There is no way anyone should realistically be able to beat this guy though.  If you have time-stop ability in addition to being a godlike super vampire... these people shouldn't stand even the slightest chance of surviving.

    Also to add to that...after revealing his power, Dio during the opening for the episode, stops the intro long enough to get around Jotaro and position himself for the fight. Only other anime character to stop a music sequence was Aizen. No lie that was a kinda cool touch.

    Actually...no.  No I'm not.

     

    I genuinely like the first Transformers movie.  The rest are trash but I legitimately love the first one.

     

    It's better than the 80s cartoon movie.  I said it.

    I liked the 1st movie too. I never was a big TF fan...but the 1st Bay movie wasn't THAT bad. The rest? ehhh...they did a great job of...making them the ideal brainless summer movie I guess. 80's movie was a classic but...I'm not huge on it. TMNT was my 80's choice of series. 

     

    Having said that Bumblebee looks promising as they're going back to keeping it simple and hopefully build up to a better story.
