God I hope the MP stays military focused. I don't want to see crap like Ninja Turtles, Seth Rogan, Terminators and such running around in a military shooter. If I wanted that I will play Fortnight not a military based shooter.
@Kaloudz I don't know alot of times I rather have nothing then another movie or game in a series I love then a cash grab. But in the end I just won't watch it or play it.
@Kaloudz In all honesty they just need to stop with the reboot, remake ideas and just do something different. Like something in the vain of Salvation or the TV series. Take a period that's hasn't been done before and go with that. Explore the war more or John as a kid with his mom before the events of T2 or even Sarah before having John.
Yeah Salvation was set to be a trilogy but when the studio went bankrupt that plan died.
@Kaloudz Yep that's my biggest problem with the series is that they always have to change the timeline of past movies everytime to make their movie make sense. I mean I guess it makes sense with all the time hopping and changing future events and what not the continuity would get all messed up. The almost need a Marvel multiverse kind of thing to happened lol.
I totally forgot about Bale's rant lol for some reason I always think that happened during Dark Knight, then again I forgot that Bale was in Salvation. Which speaking of series ending early apparently Salavation was the beginning of a new Terminator trilogy but for whatever reason they never did the other movies.
It makes sense now why MS is pushing Gamepass on so many devices like Smart TVs, phones, tablets, PCs. They can still attract people who want to play their games but don't want to spend all that money on a new console. Where as people who want to play Nintendo games or Playstation games will need to purchase a Switch 2 or PS5 to play them and due to the price hikes may not now.
@Kaloudz I have seen One and two a million times I saw 3 once in theaters and wasn't impressed. I get that they couldn't use Arnold at the time cause he was too busy playing Governor of California, but to me the movie just felt like any other sci fi action movie and was largely forgettable. I liked Terminator Salvation for what it was. What was so interesting with that one to me at least was that they decided to place it during the war something that I have always wanted to see in the franchise so for me that one was decent. I have never seen Genesys due to the bad reviews I read and heard about and the fact that it was some kind of reboot/remake thing of the first two movies just killed it for me. I also haven't seen Dark Fate either mainly cause I am just scared to see it as I can't see it being any better then 3 or Genesys.
As for the TV series, yeah that was a big disappointment that they ended it after two season and on a cliffhanger. Although season two wasn't as good as the first so I could see why they canceled it. But for what it was I did enjoy the first season.
@Kaloudz Right and that's where they stand. They can't really continue the Friday the 13th series unless Victor Miller allows them, which he won't that how this whole mess started so unfortunately they are just left with abandoning the I.P. I agree that it sucks but if he owned the I.P. then it's his to do as he wishes and if they used it without his permission then that on them and deserve what the got. It just sucks for fans of the franchise.
Yeah I agree I tend to watch older movies then the newer ones, just something about them that I enjoyed more. The first two Terminators are amoung my favorite movies with the first being may favorite out of the two. Funny enough it was original planned out as a horror movie.
@Kaloudz Well basically everything that was mentioned in the first movie they can't use so like the setting and names which is basically everything. All they can do is some generic like Friday the 13th knock off. I mean they own the rights to Jason's look from 2 on but not his name. If anything they would have to just do a spinoff series with someone impersonating him or trying to follow in his footsteps, think Scream.
That said then they have the problem of it being to close to the Scream series. Which makes me think I wonder if Wes Craven knew about all this stuff going down when he came up with the idea for Scream lol.
@Master_Cthulhu70 Yeah Avowed is everything that I wanted Skyrim to be years ago. I am still chugging my way through it enjoying every moment of it. I want to play Oblivion after Avowed but I feel that Avowed will spoil me and that I won't enjoy Oblivion.
@Kaloudz So from my understanding he owns Jason, Pamela, Alice Hardy and the rights to the first movie. The second on he doesn't, but the argument is that because he owns the rights to Jason, Pamela that the second on shouldn't have been made without his ok.
In theory you could make a sequel and have a hockey mask killer but you couldn't use the Voorhees name in it or an connection to the first movie. But yeah.... I know it's very confusing lol.
@Kaloudz I guess they could do sequels like the way Scream does it where it's a copy cat killer and not Jason. But referencing Jason that would be the tricky part.
@Kaloudz Off and on for years. I know for awhile he was told he has no case but appearently he had owned the character.
Yeah I am not sure if those movies don't exist anymore or what, I know that it probably means no more sequels unless they create a new killer. I mean if you want to get technical part five I think it was is OK cause that wasn't Jason in the end.
I can see alot of people holding onto their older consoles longer and the rise in sales of used games and private sales. This is will not be good for the gaming landscape.
@Kaloudz So originally the creator Victor Miller wrote and created the characters for the first movie. He never intended to make sequels or series or anything. I am guessing due to the success of Halloween, and the slasher genre the studio decided to make the sequels and making Jason the killer in the rest of them. He was told that because he was an independent contractor for the studio and was a work for hire that his copyright for Jason, Pamela and the rest of the first movie wasn't legal, so they studio went on to produce the other movies without his involvement or say in the matter. I don't think he even got royalties. After years of fighting and such the courts ruled in his favor saying that yes he owns the copyrights and that Jason was used without his permission. So as a result stuff like the game had its license revoked and had to stop.
It would be like if Miyamoto made Mario years before Nintendo and had a copyright on him and Nintendo came along and said hey we want to make a game with him in it and then it blew up what it was today Mario being Nintendo's Golden Boy, but Miyamoto never agree to it.
@Kaloudz It's because the creator of Jason Voorhees won the rights to Jason and he doesn't like what Jason has become. He never intended for Jason to be a killer just his mom. So due to him regaining the rights to Jason he took away the rights for Gun Media to use Jason in their game, so Gun Media pulled the game.
@Nintendo4Sonic So the problem with Pre sequel is it has spoilers for 2 so if you haven't played 2 and are interested in it play 2 before pre sequel otherwise you will be spoiled.
Tiny Tina's is a spinoff from the series and really doesn't connect to Borderlands games. It does play like them with a more emphasis on fantasy then sci-fi and has the characters from 2 but the game is a story in a story. Basically the characters from the Borderlands game play a game like Dungeons and Dragons and that Tiny Tina's. Also Tina Tiny's Wonderlands is a sequel to a DLC from Borderlands 2 so you might want to play that before hand.
Basically best bet is start with 2 and go from there is you enjoy 2 then hit Pre-sequel and if you want more there's 3 and Tiny Tina's.
@Nintendo4Sonic I suggest trying Borderlands 2. It's fairly cheap nowadays and it's regarded as the best one in the series. You can see how you like the series with that game and not break the bank.
I hope it's closer to 2 then 3. I tried playing 3 but just couldn't get into it something just didn't click with me. The characters just weren't as good as 2 or even 1.
Well no *****. I am pretty sure most Xbox owners have Gamepass like me who didn't buy the game and just played it on Gamepass. Playstation owners have no choice but to purchase it if they want to play it. Thank you Captain Obvious.
@Kaloudz Well the fact that they already pulled it probably is the reason why they aren't doing it for the first one. I am thinking in order to put it back on the stores they would have to go through the process like a new game does which is probably too much work for them.
@Kaloudz Probably, but they didn't care. The only reason they are doing this is because of the backlash and lawsuits they got over removing the first Crew.
@Blastfemur Thanks for the info. As someone who's a hoarder that was the one thing that bugged me about the ES games. Yeah I know that I don't have to pick up everything but then I am left with that feeling what if I can use that later.
@NintendoByNature Avowed plays like an updated version of Oblivion and Skyrim IMO. Gameplay is similar but of course Avowed has a fee QoL that make it better. Now I don't know if those QoL features are in Oblivion Remaster or not. But yeah these games have a similar feel.
Diablo III (Series X) Continuing with the story, I am a out to meet Zoltan Kulle for the first time. Currently level 46 Crusader.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) After finding my old DS Lite, which I thought I lost years ago in a fire and picking up a new charger for it I decided to try it out with my favorite Castlevania games.
Avowed (Series X) I may of slowed down a bit on this one but I am still enjoying it. Still exploring the world and doing some quests.
Madden 25 (Series X) I am planning to get a few games of my career mode in with my running back who's on the Denver Broncos.
That's all I will have time for with the holiday and Wrestlemania this weekend. Hope everyone has a great holiday!
@Kramlar Because they are games that I am pretty sure people are more interested in purchasing instead of the same old crap. Can you honestly tell me people are buying stuff like Skyrim now?
So no Suikode Colllection, No Dragon Quest IX, no Final Fantasy Pixal Remaster, no MLB The Show, No Indian Jones on sale but Skyrim a game that everyone and their mother own at least 5 copies of so no one is going to buy is on sale again. Whoever figures out these sales needs to be fired.
@AverageGamer @Millionski I suspect it's due to World of Warcraft. It would take to much to move WoW over to Xbox store. After all Battle.Net integration plays a big part in WoW

Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Xbox At Microsoft's 2025 Prices?
