  1. Their login servers screwed up during the event. If you were logged into your ubisoft account during the stream you could claim the game for free. Since nobody could do that they have a form right now to login from to claim the game for free for PC. https://support.ubisoft.com/en-US/News/000056669/Ubisoft-Forward-Rewards I don't know if this form will be available for 24 hours or a week since they didn't say yet. I don't know how long it'll take for the game to get loaded in either. I think someone might be DDOSing their servers still.
  2. The malls around here will be opening back up this friday. No news so far about when movie theaters will open back up yet. The numbers here have still been good and we've had no deaths in this county for a week straight. https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2020/07/coronavirus-update-no-covid-19-deaths-for-a-week-in-onondaga-county.html https://www.syracuse.com/destiny-usa/2020/07/destiny-usa-cleared-to-reopen-friday-county-exec-says.html
  3. Damn heat wave needs to stop. :sweat2: We usually only get around 8 days of 90s+ every year. Mostly we get high 70s and high 80s during the summer. So far we've already hit 9 days of 90s+ and we have even more coming. It wouldn't be so bad if we could get some rain though. Everything is so dry I'm only mowing twice a month now and I think I'll mow this weekend.. but its mostly to cut all the clover thats growing because most of the grass is all turning brown. I bought mulch today for our garden because I'm burned out on watering it every morning. We'll mulch all those veggies and I should only have to water every other day then.

      The heat wave finally broke here. Last Saturday we got 4 inches of rain. Lol. My pool is almost full to the brim. XD

      @Strider Hiryu screw -30 and -60 wind chill. That's brutal. We get a shit ton of snow in CNY but at least we don't have temps that frigid. Although a couple years ago we had a bitter cold February with only a couple days over single digits.

      I get both ends (meaning snow and cold) of it which is why ND sucks so god damn much. During winter I don't even know what single digits feels like anymore (even when we're in the singles we still have at least a -20 wind chill). Luckily the western half isn't as bad snowfall wise as the eastern half so the last few years have been nice on that front (definitely don't miss spending 4 hours shoveling just so I can get my car out for work). Sadly they're talking this winter is probably going to be a bad one so yay for that I guess.

      Well with how 2020 is going I'm betting all of the north half of the USA will have a brutal winter with insane snowfall with bitter cold temperatures. x_x

  4. I watched the entire season a month ago but forgot to update this topic. It was good. A direct sequel to TNG. The CGI for the ships was ok but not as good as a full on physical set, but I guess they were going for that more futuristic feel, but overall the CGI was actually really good for the entire season. The acting was great and I love that they brought Seven of Nine back and a few others I won't spoil in case they weren't in trailers. But man, Patrick Stewart is so old now. lol. Its like he didn't age at all for years and then Picard came out and he abruptly became an old man to me. There were many scenes I kept thinking.. Oh no Picard, don't break a hip! It was a good season but the ending was a bit whacky. The highlight of the season was all the Borg and Romulan story.
  5. Rotflmao! That video is spot on. and that woman Abby, really is that buff. I honestly would have liked a different story for the sequel. It could have gone very differently and been a much better game. I would have loved to have seen the sequel be a continuation of the firefly fighting and a potentially new character that was also immune and a fight against opposing sides fighting for control of a vaccine.. instead we got a depressing revenge story. I enjoyed the game for what it is but there's so many other ways they could have continued the story to further the overall plot with a setup for future sequels.
  6. We finished the game today. And avoided all the spoilers to. This game was emotional as hell. Brutal as f*ck and extreme violence. Some parts are uncomfortable and other scenes can be downright disturbing.. I was confused initially as to why the game would switch over to playing as Abby for roughly half the game, but playing through the entire game puts it all into perspective. And damn if it wasn't depressing by the end. The game mechanics were great, same with the characters and plot. Sometimes a good song will give you that happy feeling but sometimes a good song will make you depressed and cry.. this game is like that depressing song you know will make you cry but you still listen to it. It's got this sadness and violence combo that is unique. An experience I have not felt from any other game. Well done Naughty Dog. You have to have played the first game and it's DLC to fully understand the motivations of the characters and the ensuing depression that follows. I still haven't watched any of the hate videos that filled up YouTube for clickbait and anger spreading, I'll watch some reviews from Jim Sterling and others now that I've seen it through. Btw, I'm sure there's alot of people saying it's woke, but Ellie has been a lesbian since the original game came out on PS3. Also for a game that got review bombed its actually selling copies faster than God of War. 😮 https://blog.playstation.com/2020/06/26/the-last-of-us-part-ii-sells-more-than-4-million-copies/ Spoilers about some harsh scenes:
  7. That's a good way to do it. Around here they just tell everyone to self monitor and keep the business open after the staff disinfects everything.
  8. Any store in NY that sells groceries was considered essential and never shut down. Dollar stores have grocery sections so they had the same weak restrictions as walmart. Our area is in phase 4 reopening but they didn't allow movie theaters or the malls to open yet at the last minute. We've had no hot spots and just about every business around here is now open back up in some capacity. We did have a lowes employee test positive last Sunday so everyone that shopped there should self monitor, but everyone is wearing masks so its not spreading. I gotta say, masks are working here and is helping prevent the spread. Everyone got used to wearing them and nobody even comments about them anymore. Some people don't like the masks, others wear them wrong. Some businesses are not enforcing it for outside lines when they should be and some people will give you a mean look like they'll beat your ass in the parking lot for not having one on. Other businesses straight up enforce it and tell people to leave the store if they don't have one on. Other stores will give you a free disposable one. But enough of the population is wearing them to be very beneficial and continue the reopening. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a federal order for everyone to wear masks, if that was done covid could have been completely under control in the entire country least a month or 2 ago.
  9. Wow. We're entering a phase 4 reopening this week. Movie theaters, etc. Will be opening back up. We still have the mask order in place. Mostly we have to keep them on at all times in grocery stores, etc. But outside of businesses we only need them on when closer than 6 feet from somebody. You can walk down the street with no mask on, but if you are going to walk past someone, slip that mask on. I've also seen plenty of cashiers have them off until a customer gets close, then they'll slip them on. Mostly in smaller businesses, gas stations and hardware stores. Restaurants here have indoor and outdoor seating but the tables have to be 6 feet apart and there's no enforcement of masks on staff working in restaurant kitchens. I guess it's because it's so hot. Everyone seated to eat don't wear masks but when you get up to enter or leave you have to wear them. It sounds dumb, but apparently all the rules must be working because we're not getting any spikes in cases here.
  10. Right at the end showing 2 rebel and empire squadrons.. I'm guessing a multiplayer game. I was never good at flying, especially in battlefront 2. 😵
  11. The first 20 seconds of that video I couldn't take my eyes off the sword clipping through the cape. just like guild wars 2. That was a much better video, but I'd like to see a HUD, mini map, etc. I'm guessing they'll make this multiplayer only like Destiny and Anthem. It's the best way for them to sell microtransaction armor and weapon skins if everyone can show off to other players how much they can whale. This is a game I'd never buy first without seeing some solid reviews about it.

    What a weird premise for a game. Since there's no actual game play footage I have no idea if this is something I'd play or not. It could be nice and relaxing tho which would be nice.
  13. Square Enix... props to them for making a new IP, but honestly if they'd have surprised everyone with a Chrono Trigger remake instead, made in the same style of FF7 remake, I'd go get a second job just make sure I'd have the money to buy that game and a PS5 at launch.
  14. Wow. Now that looks unique. Very beautiful scenery and environmental effects. I wonder what else all those little dust ball spirit things can do.
  15. I still haven't beaten the last one. the variety of potential levels to play and a possible new playable character reveal at the end looks very promising. With all the different dimensions and time setting I bet there's going to be some crazy weapons to collect.
  16. I was disappointed to. I want to play that spiderman game but i never bought it because I kept seeing rumors that'll it'll be on ps+. Maybe next month.
  17. It looks creepy. I never played Resident Evil 7 so I don't know if this is a sequel to that or a standalone game.
  18. That music does not match that trailer at all. the combat looks good but I'm getting a Destiny vibe from this game.. like instead of a shooter it's a fantasy hack and slash.
  19. Spiderman into the spider verse was a good movie. Miles getting a game should be a fun experience.
  20. I'd definitely go for a digital only.. but if that disk drive is a 4k bluray player I'd rather get that since I still don't own a 4k bluray player yet.
  21. I want this game. I loved the combat in the first one.
  22. This looks like it'll be so stupid and funny. And the trailer dropped on 6/9... "Whats your favorite number Bill & Ted? 69 Dudes!"
  23. I beat the game and I loved it. It was everything I wanted it to be. Only a few boss fights aggravated me with difficulty, Hell House.. one of the bosses near the end. Not necessarily that those particular bosses were difficult, just way too long. I think maybe I just wasn't grasping the correct way to stagger them or I wasted a limit break move at the wrong time. But the final boss fight was epic. It was down to the wire thinking I could lose right at the very end because my guy's started getting wrecked, but damn what a fight. I hope the next game comes out within a year, but then again.. this one alone was worth the wait. I didn't see any progress save to the next game kind of wording anywhere so I'm guessing the next game will start everyone off with all the characters at specific levels with specific materia and items in the inventory so its not like starting the game over from scratch. And with the bosses and enemies still unseen from the original game that are far stronger than what we've seen so far from the remake so far, it'll be easy to keep the leveling up going. This is how a remake should be. I've played the original game at least 2-5 times all the way through, I know it plenty.. If I wanted to play it again I would, but this remake is better. The plot is more defined, the characters are far more flushed out, the character models are all beautiful and the VA talent is top notch. This was amazing. I hope they do deviate from the plot of the original more for the sequels because what they've done so far has made me love this game even more. The whole love triangle with Cloud, Tifa and Aerith should be hitting its peak in the next game. They should be going to the Gold Saucer like in the original, and depending on your choices when you talk to all the characters during the first so many hours of gameplay it creates a branch determining who Cloud has his date with. In the original there was a way to be a dick to everyone and end up having what I called a "bro date" with Barret. It was hilarious, Barret had a blast. I think there was a way to have a date with anyone on the team at the time, including Yuffie.
