  1. Nah man. Sorry. Can't commit to that time. Baadme aaramse I'll watch. I'm kinda excited for some of the matches in the card, though.
  2. I've never seen nXt, man... Not interested in it at all, for some reason.
  3. Yep... Good suggestion... That won't be controversial at all!
  4. Joker: Folie À Deux is a major, major letdown. The movie is a proper cash-grab attempt where you know it was supposed to be a one-off thing (the first movie), but the studio wanted a sequel anyhow coz the first one was such a hit, and Todd Phillips probably went like, "Well, I'm not keen on doing it, but let me waste your money anyway." Proper "Coppola being forced to make The Godfather 3" back in the day, kinda scenes IMO. On to the movie itself - the choice to make it a "musical" is baffling, as it doesn't add anything to the story and the songs are a little too frequent. Even though Todd Phillips and Gaga denied it in interviews and stuff. Their thing was that "it's not exactly a musical...", but no... IT IS a musical, no 2 ways about it. The main characters dish out a song every 5-10 minutes. I get Todd's point that "Arthur always had music in him" and all that, but I like how music was an extension of the character in the first movie (BG music and dancing sequences in the first movie). Unlike here, where it's just tacked on. To clarify, I don't have a problem with musicals per se, but here it just doesn't help progress the story in anyway. It's a bold move (A+ for effort is the best I can say), that just doesn't land. This is obviously not to say that there are no good things in the movie. The actors' performances, especially Phoenix, Gaga, and Gleeson, are fantastic and certainly S-tier, and I won't be surprised if they are in the Oscars discussion for this year. The cinematography, set-pieces, costumes, make-up are all stellar and help set the world up in a very good way, after the events of the first movie. But, the story and the overall narrative are just not there. Throughout the movie, I kept getting the feeling that this is a movie that's only based on the characters of the first movie. It's evident that Phillips wanted to show us what going on inside the minds of the characters (and what went through their minds during the events of the first movie) more than pushing the narrative forward in the amazing world he had built. Folie À Deux is a disorder that means two people believe in the same delusions. To be fair, the movie does manage to get close to establishing that fact for the main characters. But, do not - I repeat... DO NOT go into this movie expecting more of the same like the first movie. It's a different take altogether and it may or may not land for you (it most likely won't). My suggestion: watch it on some streaming platform whenever it lands on one. Don't waste your money, unless you really want to.
  5. So, if a game can be played on another platform, it reduces the value of the showcase? Got it...
  6. The trailer shown during the SoP was clearly a "downgrade" compared to all the other videos released so far. Was choppy, clearly running at 30 FPS, and the lighting wasn't as good as the other videos. Obviously, they had to do that, coz they had to show the PS5 Pro Enhanced version in the same SoP (albeit for a second or two). Now, I'm confused whether I should play this at launch (have pre-ordered it) or playing it later once the PS5 Pro version launches. Like, knowing the fact that there is a better version coming in a few months (considering the Pro's launch in India and also factoring in when the patch will be available) is making me NOT want to play the "inferior" base PS5 version. For anyone wondering, what will be the PS5 Pro upgrade: We are excited to see how Dragon Age: The Veilguard will lean into the power that PS5 Pro unlocks for players. Whether you love deep progression, strategic combat, or diving into the lore of Dragon Age, you will immediately notice the improved experience with PS5 Pro. The game’s Fidelity and Performance modes will both see improvements on the hardware, including improved resolution in 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance modes. Additionally, there will be various improved visual settings across 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance mode. The team at BioWare is proud of how immersed players will be when they enter the beautiful world of Thedas, with upgraded image quality thanks to Sony’s new AI-based upscalers, PSSR. We’ve enabled Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60FPS Performance mode, which previously was only available on the base PlayStation 5 with 30FPS Fidelity mode.
  7. Someone commented on the YT video: "Metal Gear Souls: Death Stranding"
  8. Get it. I'm not into the Soulsborne genre at all. And I'm loving it. It is obviously more difficult than the standard "movie" games I play, but the game forces you to be better, and is not as unforgiving as the Souls games (I've tried Bloodborne and a little bit of Demon's Souls back on the PS3).
  9. OMG! OMG! OMG! Freedom Wars is one of the games I've spent the most amount of time on my PS Vita. Only a few games topped this. Man, the memories... The game is ace, though. @WalkerDid we ever co-op this back in the day? Can't recall...
  10. - Black Myth: Wukong - Astro Bot - Metaphor: ReFantazio - Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO - LEGO Horizon Adventures - The Plucky Squire - Metal Gear Solid ∆: Snake Eater
  11. Yep... Booked a 10:00 AM show for October 2nd.
  12. I personally know 2 people who have Platinum'd this with no issues at all. @Bird Bird BirdDo you have the disc version or digital? Maybe that's a factor somehow, I dunno...
  13. Dang, that's crazy @Bird Bird Bird! I'm about 5 hours in (done with the first 2 major bosses) and I haven't had any issues at all. No crashes. No lost save issues. Yet... Others?
  14. This unlisted video below was first titled "PS5 Pro." They changed it.
