Bloodsport is a good movie.
Seconded!
Bloodsport is a good movie.
I'm trying to watch all the Van Damme / Scharwzenegger / Stallone movies I once missed out on.
I watched The Running Man the other day and really enjoyed it. It's cheezy and corny as hell, but I'll do anything to go back to a Dystopia that didn't have phones;
Plus I really miss action hero movies. Now it's just men who dress in capes beating up video game characters. It's dumb
The Running Man is great. What other movies did you miss?
Jean Claude van Damme's Legionnaire is another top movie.
I think I bought a 6 pack of Van Damme movies on bluray in the last Black friday.
Been having a blast with them ever since.
Of course, but it's spiritual and always has been. Good vs evil,
Underrated comment. Spot on.
Is suicide squad supposed to look like a fortnite skin?
The demographic they wanted to attract are the kind of people that don't pay attention to anything, and just buy whatever is marketed to them. That failed because there was so much negativity surrounding this game on twitter and youtube that it ruined their plan lmao.
Just look at this if you haven't seen it before. The animation of Harley attack with her baseball bat, and the way enemies react (and lol that tree breaking looks like its straight up from the ps2 era) at 2:42 is ridiculous. How can a multi million dollars company think that this is remotely acceptable for 2023 standards? This is the live service standards for you.

Eh, Bolsheviks, Marxist color revolution jackals ruin everything they touch. :(
It's funny how humanitys entire history has basically revolved around "us" vs "them" variations of group thinking.
Cavemen, through middle ages to modern man.
Of course, but it's spiritual and always has been. Good vs evil, what else would you expect from human history?
The thing is it always ends badly for evil when the good men that wanted to be left alone had enough. :P

Time to drop the bomb
It's really a question of good or bad writing but the anti-woke herd needs to be milked by the Quarterings of this world. BG3 is absolutely a woke game by those morons standards yet there's no conversation around it. Could it be because it has great writing? Seems like go woke go broke doesn't apply in this case.
It's funny because be it on Reddit, Twitter or wtv, I almost never come across any woke content, yet there's no avoiding people flooding social media to show outrage against wokeness. Look at this forums, how many threads are there complaining against sexism or racism in videogames? None.
It really suck that these brainwashed folks are so easily triggered by those who exploit them.
The anti-woke brigade getting so triggered is why rage baiting works against them. Like that new Velma show. They gave it high ratings, simply because they hated it...
Woke content exists in most forms of art. The thing is, most normal people aren't triggered by it. It was the same way back in the day. We just watched and enjoyed things.
Oh no you don't YouTube, keep expecting me to fall for boobies. I refuse to.
This game is sitting at 600 players on Steam, I think it's more than a little below expectations as Warner Bros so politely put it.
I jokingly said this game would be dead long before Season 1 starts, but it almost seems like it'll be true.

Thing that irked me about Rocksteady/WB was their disparaging attitude towards Batman: Origins and WB Games Montréal.
A minor le_poetic that the series should end with them having a slightly higher mediocre GaaS scoring game.
It also comparatively seems to have done much better sales wise.
Heck, might even play it on a steep, steep Steam sale before it's put down.
If Kratos' son was half black, or half Asian, would that cause the game to flop?
If Kratos‘ son came out half black the story would be wildly different. Actually, I think that revenge story sounds more interesting than what we got. And it has something for the woke crowd and the racists. It’s a win-win!
Well, I think Angrboda in Ragnarok was handle well enough for Atreus/Angrboda to start going together. That being said, If Atreus skin was dark, he still would have been Half Giant, Half God anyway.
@HalcyonScarlet: The fact that WW was the only superhero with a respectable death. The fact that WW bio in the game had mentions of "toxic masculinity". The fact that harley is being pushed as a main character above joker since forever by WB. The fact they made poison Ivy a little girl just so she couldnt be sexy. The fact they made Deadshot black despite him being white on the previous arkham games and came up with a very sh*tty excuse for why he is black now. The fact the game is just another pos written by sweet baby inc.
Reading reviews should be sufficient, if it requires more than that (like visiting far right gaming subreddits and obese "gaming" youtubers) the viewpoint should be explained by you. Again, you could have a conversation and tell us.
No, it isn't. Like i've never tried to have a meaningful debate with people on this board.
He asked a very simple question to a topic most well adjusted adults have no clue about. That topic being how "woke" a horrible flop of a game is, which is completely unrelated as to why it's a horrible flop.
But it isn't a very simple topic. The problem, especially with US-americans, they don't know jack. That on it's own wouldn't be much of a problem. Alas, the heads are filled with misinformation, they happily hold on to. The average american joes and janes. Notice, i'm not giving a definitive political affiliation here. Never do. Guess why.

Unrelated is your objection. Do you want the "very simple question" answered or not?
Thank you for finally telling us. So this is why you've been so quiet on the substance. All you've got is one highly debatable sentence from Lex? Harley has always been an anarchist, you're looking far too into things.
Put down the Tim pool. I'm sorry but this is a touch grass moment.
Anarchy in the sense of "i don't even know what that means, but i love it" or more in the direction of Goldmann?
I've dropped a name before that. I'm not sure how Tim Pool is relevant in this discussion, but Gramsci certainly would be.
I'm not watching any of your political anti-idols. No Tim Pool, or Shapiro, or Owens, or Knowles, or that other christian conservative. What for? There is a long and interesting history you apparently know nothing about. Again, not exclusive to either political isle.
The word has lost meaning. I've seen you guys call Anne Frank books as "woke" and actually ban them, or try to ban Electric Vehicles for being "woke".
It hasn't lost meaning, you just don't know jack. I can see that, here in this thread. I make it clear to you, i'm not "you guys". I am not a US Citizen living in the United States Of America. I'm a US/German Citizen who lived all his live in Germany. I'm not particularly concerned with your US-clown politcs or having a part in it. I had to look up Anne Franks woke Electric Vehicle and do a little research. You know, something you do when your level of information isn't sufficient to deduce what the other part is actually talking about.
When you say "Anne Frank books", do you mean the plural of that one version that was removed?
At the end of his email, Moore noted that the original “Diary of Anne Frank” was still in circulation in the district and that he and other school officials met with the Community One Initiative, a local organization dedicated to Holocaust Education, who also shared similar concerns about the book and agreed with the decision to remove it.

And i'm pretty sure it's not in the curriculum in the schools of the country i live in.
Contemporary for really weird people maybe.
Educated is weird to you, i'm convinced of that. And i'm not white. You must be really weirded out now.
I'm pretty sure if you told a random person "Lex Luthor praising the Amazons in one sentence of a video game mean the video game is woke", they would just quickly walk away from you. As they should.
I see. Then this wokeness doesn't really exist you say. It's all just in weird peoples heads. Nothing really happened in the past 10-15 years. A elusive Nazi-fiction. Nothing to see, not in this game or anywhere else.

WW was always a feminist.
As for respectable deaths, that's the anti-woke crowds fault. The same people who told the comic industry the like The Boys, Invincible and the "edgy" stuff in comics was AWESOME. The anti-woke crowd has to eat their own shit with that one, that's on them, they made this edgy shit the norm. There's nothing "woke" about any of these heroes even dying. Don't even try and lay that on the "woke" crowd.
The wokest thing in comics is more likely to be the golden age with all the happy endings and all that.
As for Poison Ivy, didn't she die in Arkham Knight? If so, why wouldn't she be a child?
I thought Dead Shot was black because Will Smith played him. Just like how Nick Fury is black more often than not now.
But it isn't a very simple topic.
Nah, it is extremely simple.
Taking issue with one highly debatable line from an obscure in game journal entry is absurd and nonsensical. I wouldn't call an entire product "woke" due to that.
When you say "Anne Frank books", do you mean the plural of that one version that was removed?
Yes, among thousands of other examples if you found those two insufficient as to why the word "woke" has lost all meaning.
History and biography books, climate science, vaccines, electric vehicles, math, sel, etc. All woke? This is stupid.
In a letter addressed to the board on Nov. 1, Republican Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian criticized climate science as a “woke environmental agenda” and encouraged the board to adopt books that promote the importance of fossil fuel energy.
Yes, the word is silly now because the crazies keep using it for the dumbest stuff. It's used so much for anti-education and anti-science at this point. For media the far right spam it the second they see a minority or woman.
I see. Then this wokeness doesn't really exist you say. It's all just in weird peoples heads. Nothing really happened in the past 10-15 years. A elusive Nazi-fiction. Nothing to see, not in this game or anywhere else.
Oh it exists. Just BARELY in this game, if at all.
No body tell him the helldivers 2 is woke.
You're calling a fascist totalitarian regime woke? You guys... *g*
Well the hyper partisan call everything woke these days. From electric vehicles, to the Superbowl, to history and biography books, to math books, to climate science, to psychology, to vaccines. Hell, any media that merely contains a female or minority.
Psychotic behavior really. So I honestly wouldn't even be surprised at this point.

I can't imagine why someone would be upset at Dead Shot now being black when he already has been in popular media for a while now, mostly because they just wanted a more bankable star who happened to be black.
Really really weird shit to be mad about, and pretty sus. At this point they are mad at capitalism and the free market. They became what they hated, they became woke.

I think the anti-woke, if they actually research shit, is going to figure out that most of their beloved products have hints of wokeness in them. The original DC comics were political in nature and used as propaganda during WWII. Wonder Woman was based on Athena and the Amazon women.
Heck, even their beloved Fight Club was a critique on toxic masculinity. The original Star Wars was an allegory for the Vietnam War, and the Americans were NOT the good guys.

The 90's X-Men and the whole "Mutants Rights" and discrimination story lines would drive these goons nuts.
Yet again, AJ goes more in depth to show how much of a mega clusterfuck this game really is. Like holy shit it really doesn't get any worse than this piece of dogshit. LIKE SERIOUSLY. Jesus Christ.
400 people on Steam, I guess even the most die hard of superhero fans are tired of doing the same 2 missions on infinite repeat.
This game was designed for what exactly? To be played for months nay, years on end? What is the board smoking?
One more week and this game will be below 300 players.
Not a celebration mind, a grim reminder that AAAA publishers are using talented studios to work decades on games nobody wants to play.
I want to remind every scrub on gamefaqs that told me that i was wrong for being negative about the game before the reviews were released. That i was just following the hate train. I want to let them know how incredibly wrong they were to think that this game will be a success. But i can't cuz still banned😭😭😭
Btw if you're a angryjoe hater, i'd suggest you watch a bit of the video i posted above. That review has deepened my hate toward this game like i didn't think it was possible. Easily one of his best reviews.
Flaccidsteady should be ashamed of themselves.
