On the topic of blu-rays, anyone seen Disney's Tarzan recently? Does it hold up?

I don't think I've seen it since I was a kid, debating pulling the trigger on the blu-ray from the disney rewards site.

I re-watched it 4-5 years ago and thought it held up then....

It's probably my second favorite 90s Disney movie, after Lion King ofc.

WE established this the other day. The NFL is shit tier devil lovin poop-eating cotton headed ninnymuggins

Don't you live in Texas? Wouldn't they hang you for saying this in public?!?!

Tarzan holds up.

Tarzan holds up on DVD even

cool, cool. i'll order it then. only 900 points! and it's effectively 750 since i'll get 150 back for registering it anyways.

Nice! I'm not sure why it never really registered with me to the same degree as a lot of other Disney movies, that's why I haven't seen it in ages. I've actually seen Hercules way more times, which I'm pretty sure isn't remembered as fondly. :lol

This Devin Setoguchi article is a real eye-opener

Suspected it already but it's real unfortunate that he had to go through it. Probably many more current players in the same boat.

Damn, this was tough to read. Hope Setoguchi completes his comeback.

FFXV is really the only game this fall that I'm hyped for, and it just got delayed 2 months lol.

I'm also cautiously optimistic for The Last Guardian, I loved Ico and SOTC but idk man.

Honestly, the big name games don't appeal to me anymore. I mostly care about Tekken 7, GT Sport, maybe Persona 5, but mostly just to have a new console for future fighting games.

Yeah but a new number usually means a big change. That list of features is better suited for an incremental S line.

True. Rumour has it they're saving their big update to next year's phone, since it'll be the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

But then again, they could probably still come up with something better this year than force touch on the home button, dual cameras for the 7+ and water resistant (which is pretty big for iPhone standards, imo).

Which is why I'm probably going to just wait another year. My iPhone 6 still holds up pretty well.

Tarzan has one of the GOAT Disney soundtracks, and the best fight scenes.

The blend of CGI and hand-drawn animation is probably one of the best of its time. CGI/hand-drawn mixes can be a mixed bag sometimes, but it really made Tarzan stand out.

Don't wanna sound like a negative nancy but haven't an abnormally number of big games been disappointing this gen?

- fallout 4
- driveclub
- mgsv
- batman
- street fighter v
- no mans sky
- battlefront

Seems like only a handful were able to avoid sustained criticism.

Hopefully publishers reevaluate whether the release now and patch later model is worth keeping. Seems to do a lot of damage to their brands.
 
Driveclub got really good. Shitty at launch tho

The only thing that was shitty about it was the problems with online. That's it.

The base game is great, the DLC makes it even better. So I don't know what type of revisionist history you are trying to pull with the 'shitty at launch' shite.
 
Like Jhonny said people love Driveclub now after a rough launch. I think SFV is in a similar position, rough launch but now liked by many.

As for the other games, yeah most of them were disappointing. I played Fallout 4 for like 3 hours and bailed.

Because it was shitty at launch if you wanted to play online. Because you legit couldn't to a degree. I am not trying to pull anything :lol

I loved that game. THe first racing game I played in a very long time

But you are right I should reword, the game itself wasn't shitty just the online aspect.

I can't believe you made a list like that and didn't include Watch Dogs

But yeah, hasn't been the best generation for AAA games.

Exactly. The game itself is fine. It plays, very well. I've poured a lot of time into the game even though I came in late.

The problems the online had were shitty, but the base game, as it stood, was playable and fantastic. Guess what? Evolution busted their ass right from the jump to make it right, make it better. They were open about their plans, and followed through with them.
 
Most of the supposed "failures" in the AAA space can be attributed to people not keeping their hype in check. If you come in with tempered expectations, chances are you'll enjoy games.

That is my opinion on No Man's Sky. People built it up as this sort of revolutionary experience, and of course the people would be disappointed. Do the people that had problems with it deserve refunds? Absolutely, but some of the ownice falls on them tempering their hype and being rational about it.

Yep, which makes that Jimquisition video so glorious about those people who devolved into cretins over any legitimate concerns.

Are you saying people are just way more hyped this gen than last? I dunno about that, I think developers are being forced to meet impossible deadlines and that explains a lot of the incomplete games at launch.

It's not just fans throwing fits too, the game media has handed out a lot more 70 averages this gen than last I think.

Whatever happened to Tony Hawk 5 after the bigger-than-the-actual-game-file-size update? I'm sure that was one of those impossible deadline cases.

What a bummer too, the franchise brought back to life only to be witnessed in an ugly zombie state to be killed again.

Jeff Gerstmann tearing into this shitty game last year was so good

No, I think people need to approach a game from a rational angle. If it looks cool, it looks cool. Don't make it to be the second coming of Christ.

Great to hear, we're close enough to the finale that I'll probably wait for it to finish before powering through.

Good to see they still have it but I hope it's not as bloated next year.

Mr Robot is good again

From what I've heard the last 3 or so episodes have been really good. I'm probably gonna binge watch S2 next week.

Watch the far superior MasterChef Australia. Though it has something like 40 episodes per season, it's really good. Next to zero drama between the contestants.

They all get along so well that it almost seems unrealistic :lol

but I far prefer fake harmony to manufactured discord
 
OP of the Xbone tweet about the PS4 Pro must be thinking "I've made a terrible mistake" right about now.

That or he's proud of creating a trainwreck of a thread.

some people just want to watch the world burn

rounding up all the console warriors into one thread isn't such a bad thing though
 
I've seen the first 3 episodes of Mr. Robot Season 2, and plan to watch the rest this week. Well, up to where it is now.

Season 1 was amazing. So far, Season 2 was been a bit disappointing. Solid, but unspectacular. It's starting to get better, though. Too much is crammed into the first 3 episodes.

Squirtle appeared across the street and I only needed to catch one more and I'd be able to get a Blastoise

so I ran out in my pyjamas and slippers

I think I'm officially a "hardcore" Pokémon Go-er
I ran outside the other night with mine and the gf's phone for a snorlax. Never found him. :(

Reading Trump's comments about Putin... how is any of this real... how is this guy a candidate for fucking President... it all reads as some horrible, futuristic satire.

Edit - There's more passion and incredulity targeted toward the free porn day being a bust.

can't believe they let threads like that stay open. haven't gone in it but threads that fuel console wars should be locked immediately.
