I think even the hardware/platform would stay, maybe in a different form factor- cloud/handheld/pc/mac or just another new console. I think Microsoft will dig their heels in and wait out the competition , they may not come first, but they’ll still remain relevant for long time in the gaming business ( unless some investors convince the board to sell off the gaming division like they did their mobile division to focus only on their other enterprise business) !

Surprised that Xbox is actually second with almost $23 billion in revenue, was expecting it to be much lower, especially with the amount of hate that it’s getting on this forum and a constant references to tweets saying Xbox as a platform is finished. I was expecting it to be a distant third in the console race. For all its hype , Nintendo is not even half of what Xbox is making right now. Looks like Xbox is not going anywhere for another couple of generations, if it is making $23 billion in revenue!

When did this come out ? I loved Andor first season as well.

I think the exorbitant cost of the multiplex theatres at least in cities like Bangalore doesn’t help either. For a family of four, I have seen that it costs almost like ₹2000-₹3000 for a movie outing in a shopping mall if you include snacks as well. Also, I think people have become much more smarter thanks to exposure to OTT. I think Aamir’s next movie (remake of champions) might meet the same fate as his previous remake of Forrest Gump!

I think the impact is more pronounced for our desi movies as the market is very limited and access to capital is not as easy. I’m not sure if it’s already the case but I think in future producers in India will first secure a OTT deal and then go to theatres. Which means the movies will be made with much lower budgets and mostly catering to requirements of the OTT platform!

Watched ‘the diplomat’ on Netflix. A surprisingly well made movie from Bollywood after a long time. John Abraham has given one of his finest, most restrained performances. And to know that this was based on a real-life incident, makes it all the more better ! As a side note, maybe this OTT thing is really harming the box office, especially for Indian movies. I think most of the people these days aren’t bothered to watch these types of non-spectacle movies in theatres, thinking theycan always catch up on OTT within a few weeks of release !

Oh, I directly went into act3, now fighting with this boss called creation. Where do I get the character quests ? I talked to everyone in the camp, didn’t get any quests. I’m around relationship level 4 with all characters !

If you watch, like Felix mentioned above, just keep a note on the characters and keep updating it (you’ll know when to update once you watch the movie), otherwise towards the end you would be completely lost. It’s very trippy/shot in a very unusual way too, mind you. Anyway, I watched this French movie called ‘lost bullet 2’ on Netflix. I found it to be better than the sequel. Action sequences are very well choreographed. The races towards the end are breathtaking. I saw a new sequel is released on Netflix as well. Will watch in sometime to complete the trilogy !

WTF dude, I watched the movie and all it gave me was a headache ! The concept is novel, but that’s about it. Looked like someone shot the whole movie while he was high or something ! Towards the end I stopped even trying to understand who was who - total confusion. All in all a highly confusing and trippy movie. But, enjoyable ? not really.

Completed act 2 + epilogues , mind bending reveals ! I was wondering how are they going to explain all that weird stuff going on, and looks like they are wrapping it up quite well ! The boss fight with paintress was a bit easy though, took me one try to understand the patterns and was able to defeat in the second attempt. Guess I’m almost at the ending considering the game said it’s the final objective !

Yeah, no spoilers please. Looks like all enemies are defeated, onto the boss fight with paintress now. Is this a point of no return ?

Man, the monolith level is crazy, filled with bosses you fought earlier, instead of alone now they come mix/match with others. Any combination with Clair & obscur in them is a tough challenge and the fight goes on and on. I’m at level 42, but still seems to be not enough. I skipped some of these enemies since it got really boring fighting them again and again and finally reached luminaire, how many more before the paintress ?

Watch grass grow in front of your house instead, will be more interesting and saves your money too

Saw the review, looks mostly like the previous games to me, too many enemies lot of moving around in the map, the reviewer said the speed is reduced now (which is a good thing), last 2 games were too fast for my liking. Will play it after some time. Many other interesting games in my backlog !

Didn’t AC: Valhalla make like a billion dollars or something ?

I am watching The Sopranos on JioHotstar, in season 2 currently. While I had heard a lot about it before, I never got an around to watching it until now. This is something that is totally different than what I was expecting. I was expecting it to be a full blown mafia action/drama like Godfather or goodfellas. While that’s there, from what I’ve seen so far, it’s just like 20% of the series, remaining 80% of the show is about Tony‘s battle with depression, anxiety, and relationship with his friends and family. Nevertheless, great performances from all the main characters, I don’t think they made a show like this again, did they ?

GTA 5 on PC Clair obscur on PC (gamepass)

What’s the expected level for monolith ? Finding that the enemies inside to be quite strong ! Most of my party at level 35 right now.

Finished the boss fight with sirene, was not as hard after getting that anti charm picto. Inside the monolith now. Gotta say my heart was pounding while I approached the paintress ! This game is really something !

I meant I had to fight both the visages and mask keeper again !

Defeated visages and the mask keeper. The Joy mask boss fight was much harder than this. Onto the next axon now !

Defeated all those 3 mask bosses- Joy, sorrow, anger. Won against the visages boss too until the twist after the boss fight, my party was depleted of all health and gradient charges by then. Looks like I’ve to repeat both boss fights now !

lol, I start my work after watching the trailer at least once the music is kind of different, compared to GTA5(which was mostly West Coast rap music) Also, some of the possibleside activities which I could gather (just my guess) from the trailer are: Speedboat races, fighting rings, dancing, Rent/debt collection !

He’s one of those 3 mask bosses right, in that visage island area ? I’m stuck with that boss when you choose Joy ! I didn’t know out was an optional fight !

I meant I defeated the Renoir boss, no idea who other optional one is, sounds painful 😣 the story is so good, but the tough bosses making me wanna rage quit
