Yup. The levelling system caps out at 20kish experience per level, and at rank 100 it resets back to 1. So it'll constantly be rewarding you~

The month before e3.
Everytime. Every year.
Everytime. Every year.
This really only benefits players who want to earn free currency.
Which isn't to call it a bad idea, I just don't see the economic merit. The marketing synergy probably wouldn't increase the player base by that much.
Brad's pronunciation of "whip" is questionable.
I'm waiting for you,

They are Gamespot. They pretended to care about Evolve. That's just what they do. At least the game is actually good and they should have have tons of fun covering it.
Better than GoT vids.

They are busy recording that Youtubers Life QL.
First Warcraft review has hit.

That sucks. Mortal Kombat remains the only decent movie based on a video game ever. Why do we keep trying?

Is it really surprising? Mobile games are the future after all.
The all day stream, whatever, not like there is much else out and the game is hot at the moment.
The individual character vids though? Come across as something between doing the publishers PR job for free and standard youtube faire.
Spirits Within has 44% and Angry Birds has dropped to 42%.
In the west, they come and go so fast that I can't imagine being able to do anything cross media with a hit before it fades out of public consciousness again.
Japan tends to hold onto top titles longer, but they seem satisfied with putting up web anime.
Yeah but you're comparing one of the best sci fi movies ever made to a mobile game adaptation. It's just not fair.

Does spirits within even count?
What do you believe Gamespot (or IGN) is at this point? It's standard YouTube faire with a budget. You know which Giant Bomb video got the most clicks on YouTube, right? If not, check that out and come back.
It's a mediocre sci-fi film that happens to be made by a video game company and have their franchise name on it. It's kind of cheating, but also it does have the FF name right there.
Poor, poor Duncan Jones. To see years of a talented young director's life wasted on such a piece of crap is real sad.

What does it say that the best-reviewed video game adaptations are ones that don't have much if any game story to match?

Was the Tekken movie kind of okay for what it was or am I crazy?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I thought I was going to make a funny goof by saying "Hey, DoA is probably among the best, right?" but apparently it actually kinda is. That's....sad.

Doom movie is best video game movie.
Most game stories are bad. Most games popular to get a film's stories are worse. The games that do have good writing are typically too long to do as a film, Last of Us, or their interactivity matters to the point that it makes them kind of hard to adapt, I would argue Persona 4 fits here, but I'm sure there are better examples.

That people shouldn't pick AAA games to adapt movies from, because their stories are usual c-tier interpretations of big budget movies.

I feel like Far Cry wins. It has no score at all.
I thought Silent Hill was kinda alright. The sequel tho...

I got nothing, it is beating Wither 3 on steam top charts.
Just the fact they call it worse then Battlefield Earth tells me the hyperbole train is picking up steam and bad marketing does have a bigger impact on reveiwers then I thought. Of course I haven't seen the movie but I can't simply fathom Duncan Jones going from being one of the best directors in the world to making something the same level as Battlefield Earth. That might be the biggest drop in quality in movie history.

An amazing director can't do anything if the material he's working with is a steaming pile of shit. He wasn't involved in writing the film AFAIK and even if he was, there's only so much he could probably do to salvage it.

Bombcast on wednesday and barely 2,5 hours. This is the worst Tuesday ever.
contrary to what this week's bombcast thread says, there will probably be more bombcasts
The thing is that he read the script, he approved directing it and its not like he needed this movie, he could've done anything he wanted.

Which reminds me that Monster Strike killed itself by removing online play for NA.(I think in general?)
I dropped that game so hard.

I'm gonna roleplay this as Brad Shoemaker
They did? Wow. I guess I can see where they're coming from in the sense that network play is a lot of upkeep, but removing themselves from the market entirely seems silly. That game makes so much damn money that it's crazy that the couldn't afford to upkeep network play. Especially given PAD just added network play and all their up and coming competitors seem to have it as well.

Jeff on Doom is gonna be good. He is salivating over it before he talks about it.

With all the love for Blizzards Cinematics and how well they've done with Overwatch what is it going to take for Blizzard to just start making their own cinematic movies?
