Not nearly as good as it could have been. Without spoiling anything, the ending of story mode was LAZY writing, and was pretty much a big serving of "Don't like what we wrote? Well here are all other 1 billion possible scenarios just to take the pressure off of us". It started out fantastic. It felt like all of the side characters were finally going to get their due spotlight, only to have it dimmed half way through it all. The bringing back of characters who didn't get ANY spotlight like Darrius, Nitara etc only to give them 0.1% more and then sweep them away yet again felt like a waste of roster space. Overall a well playing game but they threw it all together too quickly. It should have been made into an open world exploration mode. The character by character chapter by chapter slog has grown old to me. Invasions just feels like a cheap, time sucking waste as well. I love skins too, but I don't want to spend days unlocking them. Not AGAIN. I love anything mortal kombat and will always support the franchise, but this just feel likes a double that could have been a grand slam. Oh, and be prepared for Megan Fox's voice work to completely take you out of any immersion you feel. Her delivery is plain awful and uninspired. This game proves that MK Deception's Konquest was the best way to dive into the lore of the universe. You could go to all of the realms, visit who you wanted to learn about first, and train with them. It was perfect. With today's technology, it shouldn't be difficult to replicate that experience.

Superstar is a little better, but it's still extremely restrictive and unbelievably corny. For as much money as they make and as many people who have hated this game for over a decade, they didn't do enough. The common glitches and on the field x's and o's are still complete trash. I know it's a broken record, but the truth is the truth. The 2k NFL games of the mid to late 2000's still blow it out of the water while looking at the time difference in perspective. They don't seem to realize that simulation football is all we really care about. I sincerely hope 2k gets a shot at the title. If EA didn't change big this year, they never will.

Just got finished with the first episode. At first I was disappointed that they decided to release one episode a week instead of all at once, but it's nice to have that feeling again of counting down the days to the next episode of something that has you invested immediately. My expectations were slightly more positive than moderate because of the people involved, and I'm thrilled to say that the cast and crew completely knocked it out of the park. It's steady enough to get in much needed Easter eggs and details, while chaotic enough to immerse you in the environment. Bella steals the show as Ellie. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance. And if your radio starts playing 80's music randomly, look out 😉

How was a show like Space Force, which was slowly but surely coming into it's comedic own cancelled, but some pathetic drivel like this was green lit? I loved Austin Powers and Wayne's World, but this is just sad. I didn't laugh once in the first episode. Granted I get that certain shows take time, but this gave me NO motivation to keep going. I'm the type of person that will give any "comedy" a fighting chance if it gives me even a slight giggle in the first episode, but this was dated, cringe, and sad. Mike was great in the day, but seeing that he wrote this made my existing depression more severe. May have to ask the doc to up the MG due to my childhood hope dying a little more.
