TV/video games/movies off season thread

That's assuming anyone in Hollywood ever works again.

I agree AI shouldn't replace real life actors. I also don't think highly of those that make more money than worth and then mouth oft like we're interested in anything they have to say when not acting.
Get off your high horse.

I accept that. You can even do my right leg since my left shin has no feeling in it due to nerve damage.
You shin is safe. The wife and I binged it this week and it was phenomenal. I was quite pleased with the HBO level production value. The only thing that sucks is I have to wait so long for the next season. I may have to go read the books now.

that makes me feel good. Glad you and the wife loved it. My wife loved it as well and she generally doesn't care about too many TV shows. It's usually like pulling teeth to get her to commit to an hour, but for Silo she wanted to watch an episode every day.

I'm re-reading the books now. They barely covered the first book in season 1 so still a lot more content out there.

My wife loved it. I've not had a chance. She gets home before I do and she was watching as much as she could. I was late getting home one night and she was still up watching it. Basically leaving her with about 4 hrs of sleep.
* she loves books, but she won't start either a show or book series until one or the other is finished. So it''ll be a while before she reads the books.

Are they, SAG writers union, etc. going to put a hit out on ppl who want to work?
Screw those who keep you from doing what you love.
 
Pretty excited to jump into Starfield on Tuesday. I've been staying away from leaks and haven't watched any early access gameplay from streamers. I want to go into the game blind. Anybody else playing it yet or going to play it?
after seeing the reviews I think I'm gonna pass. Very odd reviews. Never seen a game get lots of perfect scores and also lots of 7s. Most of the major outlets have been in the 7 range. seems like a very flawed game.

I'm still plowing my way through Zelda. 170 hours into it and no end in sight. And still loving it.

It's on game pass and there hasn't been anything worth a shit come out in awhile so I'm going to give it a shot.
 
I'm thinking Diablo4 when I'm done with Zelda, but I'm starting to hear worrying things about D4. If I play Zelda long enough it might take me right to the Spider-Man 2 release 10/20. Also new side scrolling Mario game comes out on 10/20.

D4 has been the biggest disappointment in gaming for me in a long long time. Just pass on it for now. Pretty much done with Blizzard now.

I'm sure I'll be playing Starfield for awhile but I definitely plan on playing Life of P after. It comes to gamepass soon and has a similar style as the Dark Souls games. Looks really good.
I'll be on Starfield for the foreseeable future unless it sucks. It's been compared to Oblivion, so that has me hyped.

is D4 bad for the endgame stuff or is all bad? I'm only interested in single player campaign. Still avoid or is it at least good for that? I'm hearing so many mixed things about it these days.

I enjoyed the story play through somewhat but the endgame grind is what Diablo is about and its just meh. There may be some others here who are still playing and enjoying. But I know the player base has dropped like 80% or something like that since launch.

I bought D4 at launch. Actually started with the early access. I was disappointed. I haven’t touched it since about 2 weeks after it released.

I don’t have much doubt blizzard will eventually turn it into something enjoyable like they did with D3. But it was at least a year before D3 was a good game.

I was going to pass on starfield but it’s gotten a lot of positive reviews so i went ahead and bought the early access adition and plan on diving into it this weekend. There’s apparently something really good after the main quest because everyone is saying to finish the main quest before you do anything else and it’ll all be worth it.

(one of the criticisms is that early game can drag)

Another criticism has been inventory management.

I already pay for Game Pass, so I'll be playing it on PC from there. I won't be out anything if it isn't for me. I've intentionally stayed away from most reviews or content. The little I have seen has me excited but you never know.

That's my feelings as well. Wait and jump in after they have figured out how to make it enjoyable. I made it to lvl 75 and I got bored as hell. Done for now.

Finally watched Mindhunter. Cut was too short. Great show.
If they were to do a 3rd season, I could use less coffee stirring.
I'll never understand filler time.
 
Just binged both seasons of The Bear on Hulu. Show is excellent!

Is it coming out Tuesday or Wednesday? If it's out tomorrow, let's rage.

After playing the early access how do you feel about the game?

I’m enjoying it so far. It’s a bethesda game…so like fallout and skyrim but on a larger scale and different setting, a few added mechanics, but the combat, movement, exploration, npc interaction, progression, story telling are all what you’d expect from a bethesda game.

Tons of discoverables, side quests and things to do in it. More variety in the skill trees.

In general, it’s a really good game so far. I’m still pretty early though. I’m only about 8 hours in.

I have it preinstalled, ready to get going. Is there coop?

No. It’s strictly a single player game. No multiplayer whatsoever. But modders are already going crazy with it so maybe there will be a coop mod? I don’t even know if that’s possible. I think they eventually did it with skyrim so i assume it can be done with this as well.

@tw3301 did you start Starfield?

I had a blast playing last night. Starts a little slow but picks up. As soon as you get a side mission called "Mantis", do it immediately. You get some really good loot from it, or at least I did. I ended the night editing my ship... added some cargo space and workbenches. Looking forward to playing some more later. This game is going to take a long time to complete because there's a lot you can do.

No I'm going to play this evening, thanks for the heads up.
