Every Jurassic Park movie since the first has been bad.

I often debate my responsibility as a parent of a dino loving toddler: Do I tell him the sequels exist, or do I pretend it is an isolated hit that inexplicably never received a followup?

(and then when he is older we watch Lost World and laaaaaaugh)

Yes. I’ve mentioned to @Dragoncaine before that only the original is good and Jurassic Park has been a series with nothing but missed potential.

They just had a better premise and rather clean slate for Dominion that it felt harder to make it worst, but nope. It didn’t even feel like a Jurassic park films at times lol. And there was some hilarious recon from Fallen Kingdom Which made it worst.

I’m just shocked on how poorly paced, directed, scored, acted and edited it was. Especially the editing, characters would look like they teleported at times.

Strikers with 32K opening week in Japan...ouch. The world cup being in Qatar this year(winter) probably didn't help either.

Speaking of, announcement at 5 eastern for the host cities. Seattle looking good from all reports. Now let’s see how much grift FIFA will get when it’s all said and done.

Dominion is like a somewhat-less-egregious Rise of Skywalker, imo, but it shares many of the same flaws that I believe make them both bad movies.

My friend and I saw it in a 4DX theater and by the 90-minute mark, we both started pushing our hands out in front of us every time Chris Pratt does it to a dinosaur in the movie lmao

 

[Brofield]

I liked the first two Jurassic Park movies as legitimate films being adapted from books, but the entirety of the World trilogy is better than JP3.

I feel like by the end of Dominion I recognized the trilogy was just campy fun that I can easily watch again, but JP3 is a memefest that you need some heavy brewskis to power through

1>2>>>>>6>5>4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3

I still stand by that if/when they reboot the franchise, go for the darker tone and lean more into the horror by being a closer adaptation to Crichton's first novel

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Mario Strikers bomba status in Japan, you had a nice run Mariobros

I haven't seen 6, but I would go

this one hurts... I didn't buy it either because there isn't really any singleplayer motivation to play the game. Just an RPG like career mode would have been enough for me. Oh well....

Switch passed 25 million systems sold in Japan

I know I'm an outlier for enjoying Fallen Kingdom as much as I do, but really it's what's the JP franchise should have done long ago; horror director filming a thriller. Made me scared of dinosaurs again for the first time in a long time and I loved that sensation.

I feel like any attempt at making a pure horror movie around dinosaurs ends up as a B-film direct to VHS type deal, or something along the lines of Sharknado (or more accurately VelociPastor)

still delirious and in pain but I wanted to state that any conspicuous typos from last night were likely intentional and/or clues

I think you mean 25 million.

Hasn't gone DS nuclear quite yet.

It is not surprising, the GC and Wii games never outdid Golf or Tennis. Regardless of the popularity of the sport its not japans cup of tea

 

[HockeyBird]

No more FIFA games from EA. Lower Strikers sales in Japan. Soccer confirmed to be dead sport.

 

[Xaltmas]

Well Shredder’s Revenge is fucking fantastic.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Speaking of, announcement at 5 eastern for the host cities.

Here are the 10 I'd pick, in no real order.

Pasadena, New York, Dallas, Baltimore, Atlanta, Seattle, Miami, Boston, Cincinnati, Philadelphia.

Old bay wings at the world cup, you'd love to see it.

I've seen this gif thousands of times but never mirrored. It's weird, like looking into an alternate reality.

Game winners get bathed in Natty Boh out of the Gatorade bucket. In Seattle we will let the team captain throw a salmon at Pike Place Market.

Pasadena, New York, Dallas, Baltimore, Atlanta, Seattle, Miami, Boston, Cincinnati, Philadelphia.

Going by rumors with Edmonton rejected I think it’s 11. I like the pod structure myself. Seattle (pairs with Vancouver), SF, LA (want rose bowl myself). Then do Dallas, Houston, KC (Houston in because of proximity to Mexico. KC only because I’ve been reading this one likely gets in with Edmonton out). Atlanta and Miami are obvious choices. NY, Philly, DC/Baltimore (cluster and easy enough to Toronto. Boston out because no transit to stadium and locals rightly not wanting to cave to fifa money demands as much as other places).

I can only speak from a North American perspective, but Fire Emblem discourse has been like this since Path of Radiance.

 

[Magic-Man]

Orlando feels like the surface of the sun right now holy shit

 

[Mr_No_U]

I question the necessity of leaving the relative safety of the General Discussion thread. The worst thing that could happen to you here is getting threatened with Subway or anime.

Me with the Fire Emblem leak thread:

The very positive reception to 3H made me forget that sometimes the fire emblem fanbase can be almost as insufferable as pokemon

I googled "Subway anime" to post an image here but all I got was hentai with subway sandwiches photoshopped over it.

@Derachi I think you've taken your love of subway too far this time

 

[Barely Able]

If you put @Derachi on your ignore list the chances of this two things threatening you drop by at least half…

 

[chocolate_supra]

Oh god

The worst part is, I can't even tell if this is NSFW or not

But here ya go

Spoiler: eat fresh senpai~

To be fair. Before release. Three Houses was not having the best reception lol

Okay thanks I don't feel as bad about what I posted now.

Edit: oh dang, you removed it

 

[DecoReturns]

Why is Gollum getting a game?

Never realized they were that popular.

 

[WhyS]

Gollum isn't going online and judging YOUR popularity!

(I will likely never play this game or look at any gameplay of it.)

 

[EvilChameleon]

Forget Gollum, can we get Battle For Middle Earth III?

 

[NabiscoFelt]

To be fair. Before release. Three Houses was not having the best reception lol

Yeah Three Houses was basically being viewed as Fates 2.0 until the Thanibomb leaks

Once we discover that Toothpaste will have the option of committing some war crimes then people will start turning around on the game

 

[Deleted member 341]

Forget Battle For Middle Earth III, can we get a new 'The Hobbit' game in the style of old school 3D Zelda?

 

[MisterSpo]

Forget videogames, can we turn into actual Hobbits and live peaceably in a rural paradise full of ale and food?

 

[Skittzo]

If I can't have a daily elevensies I don't want to live.

On Thursday we are anti grind and pro vibes
