Anyone remember Death Stranding? Remember how hard they tried to get people to love that shit? I’m getting some deja vu with this film.

Kojima couldn't find enough excuses on why that's sales took a nice wet clumpy shit all over itself.

Oh it's because Westerns love FPS and it's too deep for you bro.

His qualifiers that people liked it was that it sold well in Europe (who gives a fuck) and Japan (where console gaming sales go to die and it only sold like >200k units)

I'm still not sure what the fuck that game or story was. But it looked so uninteresting and what I heard was just...people like that?

By this point I think it's only by name brand that it sold ok as it did, especially in Japan.

They were shoveling pre-owned copies of that game down my neck at GameStop about a year or so ago. They wanted $35 for it and I said, “maybe if it was five bucks” and dude just laughed.

It’s sad how hard they’re pushing the movie now. They know it’s going to be a failure and they’re shoveling as much shit as they can to save it at this point.

The YouTube advertisement with the actor who plays Chris was chock full of cringe. “It’s like playing the game.”

No it’s not. No one involved with this has played more than ten minutes of any of the games and it shows. Probably more so than the older films. Taking set pieces and a few characters and then tossing consistency out the window with the rest is not accurate at all.

Enjoy your shitty ticket sales.

They basically removed Alice and are calling it a very faithful adaptation because they have all the game characters crammed and accurate set pieces . Lol

Every add or poster I see for "Jill" is so fucking bad. Why did they make her look like she's lathered in sweat and grease for every promo?

I don’t think video games or movies based on video can’t have good looking female characters look how they have the same dirty look and outfit. Same aesthetic…. They all look the same with the tank top, pants etc. even reboot Claire’s look haggard.

This movie is legitimately going to make the older films shine brighter. I can’t believe I’m even saying that, considering I really only like the first two films, Afterlife and—to a point—Final Chapter. And even those are flawed.

This is not going to be another Mortal Kombat 2021. Even though that was a decent movie, the original film still holds up to it. The sequel obviously sucks pretty hard though—there’s no saving it.

One thing I'm glad about is how a lot of my friends and some social media personalities are either tearing the movie apart or are going 'eh' lmao. Didn't expect even my casual RE friends (the ones who didn't know RE3 was in Raccoon City.................) to be like that.
