FM, you gotta watch the movies as a separate entity from the books. I like the books just as much as I like the movies, despite what the movies did to the story. The 4 one did seem a bit disjointed, merely going through a series of events rather than telling the story (it seemed to me like the director had a checklist of what scenes he wanted and then edited the film checking them off) but the last few films have been rather good. They're not great, but they're better than what the could've been. I'm looking forward to the last few. This coming from a guy who refused to read a kids book in high school and then in college read through them cause he got addicted... What didn't you like with the last few?

well the first dumbledore went ahead and died on us... but daniel wasn't a bad choice considering they picked him as a kid...he did the best he could, but he grew up to be a shitty actor...most of them did. Ron does the best out of three, but most of the casting has been rather good.

Actually, that's why I dislike them lol, because I tried considering them separately from the books.

All my friends agree: they don't understand half the storyline when only watching the movies a first time. I do, and I explain half the movie to them. Call my friends dumb if you want, but a few critics agree that the movies alone do not give much of a storyline if not a confused jumble of it.

Sure, I find them ok as movies, but I don't have any particular interest either. I'll watch them, but they won't be on my "OMG must watch" list.

I know movies oversimplify things and I don't mind really. They adapt and modify things for easier porting to the mass media. I even accepted the change in punch of the Da Vinci Code without much issue. What I dislike more about the harry Potter movies is that it seems the director wasn't sure if he wanted to simplify the story or stay true so we have a half mismatch of midway.

Btw thanks lol :p

I get what you mean and I wouldn't call them dumb, but I can't really understand their view because I saw the movies knowing the story. I guess if I saw the movies as an HP virgin, I might not like them as much, but I've read the books and I think the movies are doing an adequate job. I have a beef with the 4th one, but the 5th one was great. But yeah, the movies do suffer from directors trying to appease the reader fans rather than trying to tell a coherent story.

Well yeah they're doing an adequate job I don't refute that. They just haven't done so well a job as to really pick my interest as much as other movies had.

But yes, sometiems I watch movies without reading the corresponding book to see how it fares and then I read the book to compare. Sometimes for some movies it's better to do book-->movie and for other it's best the other way around IMO.

Never read eragon but I saw one scene of the movie, puked out some milk laughing at how horribly stupid it was and never finished or cared ot watch it again. (the part where the baby dragon flies into the sky and then comes down full grown and capable of speaking fluent english....) but when it comes to book movies, I prefer reading first and then watching the movie. That or if I hear a movie is coming out based on a book, I'll read the book to see if the movie might be good (I am legend....book was amazing, movie changed too much but it wasn't a bad movie...the one scene in the book that got to me, the movie did it better...almost). On rare occasions, I watch a movie and think, "if this is based on a book, I want to read it..." then it turns out there is a book so I read it.

speaking of book movies: never saw the da vinci code, but the book was addicting. Angels and demons, in my mind, read like a movie, so I saw the movie last week, and it was good. Not OMFG THAT WAS AWESOME GOOD! but entertaining nonetheless.

They butchered it to no end, believe me lol :p

As for books from movies, I tend to read the book first, but sometiems I don't have the time and my friends invite me to the movies so I figure I can read it after. Sometimes as you say, watching a movie gives you the want to read a certain book.

I've read the Da Vinci Code, but not Angels & Demons and I've watched both movies as well. Entertaining movies both.

I do hope they don't try and butcher other of my favorite book series >.>

Forever_Melody
May 20, 2009, 08:14 AM
It's a pretty old PS2 game.

The whole game consists of killing 16 Colossus. Nothing else...

There's no creeps, and no real leveling process(other than stamina increases). It's just you, and a horse trying to kill 16 giants.

The cool thing is the story, the music and the gameplay. Each of the 16 bosses offers a unique gameplay on itself on how to defeat them(since yo have to hit their blind spots which vary) and sometimes it takes a while to guess how it works.

I remember one boss his blind spot was on the palm of his hand so you had to knock his weapon out of his hand then stab him >.>

Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 game. Kind of similar to the Prince of Persia series but way shit. Someone should play Silent Hill, be;lieve me you will get shit scared. There is no light in the game,you walk around with a torchlight and it's preety scary when things jump out of nowhere.

Hey, who says Harry Potter sucks? The 5th movie sucks but all the books are awesome. Man they are gonna miss out so many things in this movie, as the books are longer then shorten the movies for some retarded reasons. That's why no one likes the movies anymore, also the game versions are good as well. Fun to walk around Hogwarts and do random stuff xD

Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr are is an alright series. The first book may be childish but the 2nd and the 3rd books are awesome. They better make "Eldest" into a second movie, what's the point in making Eragon and not the other 2.Especially with Eragon's cliffhanger, can't end the moves there.

LOTR is the BEST! Nothing can beat it! xD

Spider-man 3 has to be the one of the worst Marvel movie ever. Nothing like the comics, and there was no point in Venom, he got beaten like he was just a small bug LOL. Apparently in Spider-Man 4 they are gonna have 6 villains <.< Great, more villains makes the movie more shit cause it's hard to fit in everyone and show their screentime.

@baboysai: oh ok, well I'll try my luck and see if I like it; I'm not a Trekkie but I saw the trailer and there's been a lot hype about it

I work for retail. I sell stuff


Why is there so much hype over one lil trailer???

It's not hype over just the trailer; the movie's already been released for a week or two, and a lot of the hype has come from people who've seen it.

game shops specifically?

only ones I can think of are gamestop/electronics boutique. Before there used to be those two as separate entities and one more....funco land or some shit, but gamestop pretty much bought them all out and we just have gamestop. There might be more, but I don't know about them. However, if people want to get video games, we have places like best buy, target (a department store), walmart, etc. so we're not just stuck with gamestop...gamestop does some kinda of shitty things.

New PS3 and X360 games usually cost between $50 and $60 depending on where you buy them. Wii games - I have no clue. I've never bought one even though I own the system.

Used games vary depending on popularity.

A used PS3 COD4 is still $35 at gamestop/ebgames[here (http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=65512)]
used Halo 3 is also $35...

not to spoil anything, but I thought it was pretty much understood that bale was going to play john conner (I knew that going in). I don't know if I can compare it to the other three...I mean, it's kind of a different movie, but at the same time it's not. If you really break it down, there's too many things wrong with it. If you just take it as it is, I really enjoyed it. I don't think they should have used McG (the director). Bale did an awesome job, but he always does. But there's more than one terminator...I won't ruin that for you though. It was good though, I would watch it again. It's getting too many complaints for being too much action and not enough story...but honestly, it's terminator, we know the story (machines bad, humans good), action is pretty much all you need. Other people were complaining that it required the viewer to have past terminator knowledge to understand this one, but come on, that's a stupid argument. It's a sequel, not an adaptation. Even if you don't know anything skynet, it's still a fun movie to watch.

You can always scan or photograph :D

bean, there are many ways. some can be like you described, sketching traditionally and the scanning to the PC and then coloring. and there are also 100% digital approaches. Lately I've been doing only digital, but when I can't seem to get an angle right I sketch traditional and then ink.

though shading is much easier traditionally, because you have better pen/pencil pressure.

I watch lost casually, but I'm not totally lost...I might not know dumb little easter egg details, but I know what's going on...

but like I said, all you need to know (and not really) are the characters. Who is john conner and who he's supposed to be, who his mother was, who his father was. What is skynet and why the machines are attacking...basic shit. Arnold will always be the best terminator, there's no topping him, but Bale played Jon Conner, and he did an awesome job.

well to be fair, the previous three had really compelling stories. 1st one was great because of the whole time paradox thing. 2nd one was good because of the conflicting relationship with the machines and conner being groomed into what he's supposed to be. The third was a bit more action oriented, but we got to see that no matter what, one couldn't change the future... 4th one is good, but it doesn't really push the story forward. It's more of a set up or at best just a side story. It's a gaiden.

Oh right, with me I'm a MAD fan about Lost. In my opinion I think it's the best TV show ever made (aside form comedies). Dude, you didn't know what Juliet's name was. You described her as "blondie " or "blonde" forgot which one LOL

Christian Bale played John Connor, but not Terminator. I see, so this movie is mainly about characters and their stories. Hmmm, might give it a try after the HP movie.. I liked the Termiator series but when Terminator: Sarah Chronicles series came out, I kinda gave up on the whole thing. Might get back to it after this movie..

The new one is supposed to be between the two times anyways. It can only take so much from the former movies. Connor is the only one who ever saw a 'friendly' Terminator and that was in the past even :/

And, can't really agree with you. I love the first and second movie but I can't really see that they have a deep story. Action is clearly what drives the story in both of them.

Not at all. I went on the starting weekend and will go a second time tomorrow, which is rare for me.

I just have a really good laugh on people who screw over the movie because the cooler system of the Enterprise isn't accurate to the original series...

Oh right, with me I'm a MAD fan about Lost. In my opinion I think it's the best TV show ever made (aside form comedies). Dude, you didn't know what Juliet's name was. You described her as "blondie " or "blonde" forgot which one LOL

Christian Bale played John Connor, but not Terminator. I see, so this movie is mainly about characters and their stories. Hmmm, might give it a try after the HP movie.. I liked the Termiator series but when Terminator: Sarah Chronicles series came out, I kinda gave up on the whole thing. Might get back to it after this movie..

well not knowing her name and not knowing who she is are two different things. If someone were to reference juliet, I would know who they're are talking about. I just don't care enough to memorize everyone's names. I know jack, locke, sawyer, hurley, sayid, jin, sun, etc... but like I said, not knowing a name is not the same as not knowing a character. If I remember correctly, you didn't know she had big boobs, so ARE you really a mad lost fan?

but it;s kinda silly not to want to watch terminator because of a tv show...you know they're not the same thing, right? it's like if I stopped reading naruto altogether because of the shitty shitpoohden series...
[hr]

The new one is supposed to be between the two times anyways. It can only take so much from the former movies. Connor is the only one who ever saw a 'friendly' Terminator and that was in the past even :/

And, can't really agree with you. I love the first and second movie but I can't really see that they have a deep story. Action is clearly what drives the story in both of them.

yeah, action was a big part of the first two...but the story also pushed the action along... The movies are successful because the action and story are well balanced....a movie with awesome action still falls flat on it's face and fails if the story isn't good... The story is only as deep as you want it to be...and for me, if you really think about it, the implications of what the movies are suggesting, it's not camus or nietzche, but it's not just a shallow action popcorn flick either.


Not at all. I went on the starting weekend and will go a second time tomorrow, which is rare for me.

oh completely agree on this part. I'm glad jj ripped the franchise away from the trekkie fans...if only someone can do that to G. Lucas and star wars...Lucas killed his own baby.

they complain about every stupid shitty detail. Anything, and they'll complain about it...I thought I heard someone complaining that the enterprise wasn't built in ohio, that it was built in SF...ask me, I'll say who gives a shit, it was built. Not only that, JJ worked it so that he can answer any discrepancy: alternate timeline.

Yeah, that's true.

Hmm... I think modern movies have a hard time to balance story and action out. They need to score points and the fastest way to do so is via a festival of effects and lots of hyper fast action.

Older action movies, such as T1 and T2, were limited in effects and had to add up with either plot or humor. I enjoy the fact that those movie don't show all sparky details but leave a lot in the shadows. They're also slower in story pacing. If you look back in movie history, the older the movies are the more slow and frozen camera shots they have. Action flicks of the 70ies and 80ies have really long shots per scene, while the mid-90ies movies started to speed up extremely.

I see this very well on my children. They're so much used to modern children movies that old ones appear to them as boring due to the slow pacing. They sit in front of the TV and start to move their bodies because they can't concentrate on such long camera shots and in worst cases they stop watching in the middle.


oh completely agree on this part. I'm glad jj ripped the franchise away from the trekkie fans...if only someone can do that to G. Lucas and star wars...Lucas killed his own baby.
I consider myself a trekkie as well and I'm very pleased with the new movie :3

As for Star Wars... let's just hope he doesn't get the idea and continues the thing in 10 years with the three final eps >.>


Not only that, JJ worked it so that he can answer any discrepancy: alternate timeline.
Exactly. Nothing is wrong in this movie since nothing is supposed to be set as the original series in the first place. This isn't limited to just characters but also to technical details.

I completely understand what you mean...I remember growing up that I would think movies that were an hour and a half to take forever because so much would happen within the movies...nowadays, movies can be 2 hours long and you wouldn't even know it because they move so fast.

Because to some making video games is and art and not to earn loads of money a passion if u will. And if u really appreciate them for that u will spend the extra bucks to buy w.e system the game will be exclusive to. Anyways the X-box is made by *french accent* stupid americans

warbandit66
May 21, 2009, 06:10 PM
I own both consoles so my oppinion on the matter probably isn't too valid, since exclusivity doesn't really affect my gaming experience at all.

The reason I don't understand exclusivity is because it prevents the games being enjoyed by a wider audience, if I produced a masterpiece I'd want to make sure that it was accesable to as many people as possible.

bean
May 21, 2009, 06:14 PM
one reasoning to make it exclusive to one system is that all the focus on making the game is put into making it work well on that system, rather than making it just work on multiple platforms. See almost any first party title from nintendo, Gears of war (2), MGS4, etc...

Strider's♥Death
May 21, 2009, 06:18 PM
Well theres different types of audience. Just general w.e audience and then theres the right audience. The w.e audience wont bother spending more money just to play that game while the right audience will. Its like when u start a band, u think of the music u want to play or w.e, but it will suck if it doesnt attract the correct type of people. eg: I play something hardcore epic screamo, lyrics great, guitar playing great, different types of chords on all albums all songs not just 4 same old chords w.e u know. BUt the biggest portion of people I attract are emo gilrs and skinny faggot guys.

Basically hideo is trying to prevent that. He wants the right audience for his game. And if u appreciate hideo u will not hesitate to waste the extra bucks. Exclusive all the way for Hideo projects.

Look... multiplatform gaming... sucks...

You can't create great gaming by adapting a console game to other consoles or to the PC ¬¬... it is stupid... it will never work...

each platform has its features... it is made this way...

but game producers simply create these adapted games that simply suck...¬¬

But the thing is; I really think is just fanboyism :XD... that some people want a 1 console only game...

That has very little to do with 'appreciating'. The average price for e.g. the PS3 is half of my rent and not just some 'extra bucks'.

It's kinda a little offending to tell people off that they don't appreciate something enough when the actual majority can't afford it. I'm sure, if it weren't for the money, most dedicated gamers would own a full collection of consoles at home. But that's simply not how life is.

Making a game exclusive only shuts out people unnecessary and merely benefits the contracting companies. You can still specialize a game on one console and have it lesser well developed at the others to make it available at the very least. There are always ways open to find a compromise, everything else is pure business thinking and has little to do with making a game perfect.

Well eni 600 dollars for a PS3 is a fair price with what is included. It most certainly has a lot to do with it. Hideo really doesnt do it for the money. By making it exclusive the dude is losing money compared to other developers/producers out there. Gaming is getting expensive with each generation. Ur either the one that bitches about the price, the one who just buys it, or saves up to buy it. Theres no point on complaining on their prices. Besides like I said a person who appreciates Hideos work will not hesitate to buy a ps3 to play his game (and if u know who hideo is in depth, chances are u already had bought a PS3 to wait for a game from him).

Quite so. I visited my friends from my old school over the weekend. It's a pretty big party school in that pretty much everything is centralized around drinking. Both groups of my friends had kegs at both of their places. We had a beer olympics.

My other friends (from high school) whom I haven't seen since spring break invited me over to try the new UFC game. We had some Blue Moon (first time trying it, but pretty good beer) and played progressively worse and worse.



Since I left my old school, I don't really drink much. The last time I did was New Years. Man, I miss that school....

The game play is like pacman, but whereas i pacman you have more enemies appearing whenever you go up a level, in mine its the higher the level, the more enemies, less items, some parts of the maze close within each level you through and then finally you hve a time limit on collecting the items... and the time gets deducted 5 secs whenever you goto the next level... but i hope its good though, my lecturer is marking it this week.. and hopefully i'll get it bk soon...
