Civilization as we know it is in peril. Oryx, also known as The Taken King, has entered our solar system with the sole purpose of revenge. After the Guardians destroyed his son, Crota, his goal is to consume our worlds with the help of his corrupted army. It's up to you to defeat the king's evil hordes, overtake the Hive Dreadnaught ship and finally go head-to-head with The Taken King himself. The latest chapter in the Destiny series expands the universe you know and love with new locations, powerful new abilities and an all-new storyline that's as riveting as the last.Destiny: The Taken King brings you back to the Destiny universe, as you fight to destroy Oryx, an evil king with a hard grudge who's determined to take down the entire solar system. It's your job to find a way onto his Dreadnaught ship, obliterate his dark army and kill the king himself. You'll have access to three new Guardian subclasses, a wealth of weapons, armor and other gear and powerful new abilities. Select the Warlock subclass to harness the power of an electrical storm, the Hunter subclass to carve bows from gravitational void energy or the Titan subclass to summon a flaming hammer.

Bungie has been incredibly disappointing with what they consider an expansion. I'm not going to pay $20+ for a couple levels and a day of content. It's just not worth it. Each expansion should be roughly the same size as the original for the price they want.
If I wanted to do the same quests and grind out gear there are bigger and better games to do so in.

It's 1,000 years or more before the age of the Dragonborn, just before the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel, and the world is in a state of turmoil. The Daedric prince, Molag Bal, has stolen your soul and his next move is to destroy Tamriel. Across the mysterious lands of Morrowind, over the sprawling metropolis of Daggerfall and beyond, there rests the fog of battle, and out of the three alliances, only one can become the masters of Tamriel. Only one can seize the throne and gain the spoils of war.Gather friends, guildmates and alliances in the MMORPG world of The Elder Scrolls as it moves online on your Xbox One for the first time ever. Choose your own destiny, your own character, your own allies and, ultimately, your own fate as you try to stop the evil machinations of the Daedric prince, Molag Bal, and the first-ever necromancer, Mannimarco, from bringing about the end of days. A unique combat system enables you to engage in real-time strategic attacks and blocks, while purposefully targeting your opponents. With The Elder Scrolls' Megaserver technology, the entire world of Tamriel is connected, so you will already have the strength and security that comes from being surrounded by your friends and guild mates. Use the game's compass to navigate through areas of interest at your own pace. Weapons and armor are available any time, so play as you like, develop your own style, and explore your way across Tamriel. The world is waiting.

Terrible customer service (Zenimax)
on July 6, 2015
Posted by: Nickname003
from Salem, OR
One would assume that when you pay for a game, you actually get what you paid for. Not true with Zenimax. The imperial edition and explorer packs were not showing up, even though I bought them. They were aware of this (and it happened on PC launch too) but they don't care about their customers and instructed customer service to tell customers "just make a character and play. when we fix it you can remake your character and transfer the gear."
Not only that, but the two weeks the game was literally unplayable. Invisible NPCs required for quests would not allow me to leave the tutorial area. The game is also laggy and graphically choppy. There has since been an update, but you still can't play with friends unless you go through a crazy work around. This is really a terrible port, and unless they get their act together people won't play.
I also think it's BS that Zenimax continues to tell us that we aren't paying a subscription fee and how amazing that is so we shouldn't complain. Because I totally didn't PAY for the game, right?

Pretty good, but not fantastic
on January 2, 2014
Posted by: Nickname003
from Salem, OR
This was a pretty good movie. If you liked the first one, then you'll like this one. I think it gets a bit ridiculous at the end, but overall it's a good watch. The action is plentiful (but not as good as the first one), and most of the storyline you can see coming from a mile away. However, that doesn't mean it's bad. I had higher hopes for it, as the jokes and one-liners were terrible this time around, but it's worth watching in my opinion.
Obviously this isn't a movie for kids, so don't get all upset if you buy it for your kids without knowing what you are buying.
What's great about it: Better acting, better stunts, more action.
What's not so great: Feels like it lost some of the feel in the first movie.

Deckard Cain scuffs his foot just in front of the ruins of Tristram Cathedral. The stirrings of evil have returned to this world, and these ruins must hold the clues to defeating whatever fresh hell is about to return to the realms of Sanctuary.

Choose your hero from five powerful character classes, including Barbarian, Witch Doctor and Wizard — each with their own spells and abilities. Decimate your enemies by using the interactive environment to your advantage — lay cunning traps and use destructible objects and environmental obstacles to your advantage with the Havok physics system.

Fun but not Diablo 2

I got this hoping it would be something to play for a long time. However, I stopped playing after a couple months because I beat the game. I didn't find hardcore to be as hardcore as Diablo 2 was. Also, XBOX 360 players have better stats on the same exact gear to pacify their need to destroy things in one shot. I don't think I will buy the expansion, but we'll see.
I also don't like how it only allows you to play with 4 friends total, and the DRM requires online at all times.

Little uncomfortable, but awesome sound.

I bought these and ended up giving them to my roommate who has bigger ears. I can't play with these on for hours like I can with my turtle beach ones, but the sound quality is much better on these. The distance you can walk away and still function is also much longer. The battery life on these is fantastic too. I only have to charge one or twice a week and I use them 30-40 hours a week.

You stand looking out on the arresting lands of Eorzea, digesting your surroundings, gazing upon the familiar Final Fantasy creatures you know so well. What you may not realize is that you're standing on the brink of a precipice in which the land is poised to plunge. At the bottom awaits unrest, danger, ruin, terror, battle, adventure, triumph, victory, courage, good and evil. At the bottom awaits the Seventh Umbral Era. The prosperous Astral era is fading fast, the Garlean Empire has amassed an invading army on the eastern border and the otherworldly primals have been summoned by the native beast tribes. These threats will not be easily overcome, but you accept the emergence of a new Umbral era with the knowledge that your comrades will toil alongside you with courage in their hearts and the breath of hope filling their lungs as you reforge the fate of Eorzea. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the stunning graphics and high-definition, real-time cutscenes that are the hallmarks of the Final Fantasy franchise. Forge new friendships with players from around the globe in this MMORPG as you create your own unique stories and become a part of the history of Eorzea. Mount chocobos, board airships, explore the landscape and gather your wits for epic battles against familiar Final Fantasy monsters – you create your own destiny with unique abilities, equipment and a flexible class system that allows you to traverse 18 different classes simply by changing your equipped weapon or tool. Whether you're playing on a PS3 or a PC, robust gameplay features, such as Free Companies, story-driven player-vs.-player content and primal summoning bring players together for true cross-platform play.

It's good, but too easy.

This game is a huge improvement from FFXIV 1.0, however it is too easy. The game holds your hand the entire way through and leveling is incredibly easy. Crafting is fun, but again very easy. The questing system is fun, but leveling through FATEs is much easier which causes the game to a race to the next FATE. This can cause your game to lag when the servers are busy making it impossible to see the mobs.
Overall, I would say it's worth playing to the end. However, unless they release a lot of new and difficult content, I won't be staying to play for long.

Buy the protection for it, you'll need it.
on August 3, 2012
Posted by: Nickname003
from Salem, OR
I have gone through about 8 of these controllers over a period of about 3 years. They are great, but they break REALLY easily. The wire comes out, frays, and disconnects inside the housing very often. I'm disappointed because I love logitech. However, if you spend the extra money on the protection plan, then you can bring it back in for a brand new one. To avoid these things I recommend buying the logitech WIRELESS controller. There are a few people that don't like it, but it breaks in about a year to two years off everyday play versus the three months with this wired controller.
What's great about it: easy to use
What's not so great: breaks too easily

Great movie.
on February 3, 2011
Posted by: Nickname003
This movie is up there with the other comic book movies. I'll admit some of the acting could be better, but they did a pretty good job. The extras are pretty cool too. I wasn't really a fan of Nicolas Cage doing his Adam West thing. I would definitely recommend putting subtitles on at least once while you watch this movie.

I don't really like Tom Cruise, but this movie is amazing. The sets are great. The story is awesome. The costume designer is fantastic. All of this really makes up for the main actor being Tom Cruise.

By ferrari888889 from Binghamton,ny
well men in black is back and not as good as it looked. it has been to long since the originals and you kinda half to yourself go back in time in order to remember what happened. the movie had some dry parts about and the 3d was dreadful their was none. the ending was the best though their was a good twist and you learn a secret that you didn't know before, well a major secret in fact. STOP READING IF YOU DONT WANT POSSIBLE SPOILER. ask yourself you ever leave something up to chance and things that you didn't expect to happen well happened. maybe it wasn't chance maybe it was spouse to happen? figure it out and you will know what happens.

November 30, 2012
I don't understand how you are a top 100 reviewer. First off, why would you put spoilers in a review? Secondly, you obviously didn't watch the movie if you didn't see any of the 3D effects. Lastly, if you want people to take your reviews seriously, then at least use the correct words/spelling so people can understand what you are trying to review.
This movie is much better than the second one, and on par with the first. I'm sorry you found their explanations for temporal physics and time travel to be dry. The acting was fantastic, and the story was just as good as the first MIB.

A tumultous, surpreme Final Fantasy experience ~
By QuiescentKeeper from Maryville, TN
*Before anything, a brief and pertinent updates to the servers problem and error 1070: early next week there should be new servers both JP and NA/EU regions, and the current servers expanded upon.*
Now then -
Set aside the delima in actually logging in, and I believe one might be direly hard-pressed to ever log out once into the game and its fantastic story.
I won't cover aspects of mechanics, as many others do so greater than I unless the time was taken to write the minimum 15-20 paragraph review I want to be lack the time at present, and will rather state that I assure whoever reads this that love of the FF series would truly enrich your experience. It doesn't try to set a fast pace, or host a dynamic combat or PvP system; it's simply, as I and many others take it, a complete FF experience that leaves one in euphoria for its duration.
If I can edit this at a later point, once I've attained higher max level with my main (which can really be all your would-be alts in others games combined, thanks to the brilliant and intuitive cross class system), I intend to conduct a more thorough review.
I leave this here now in attempt to give a more honest synopsis based on game play, rather than minimal if any experience with the game and based on the inability to play currently.
If you like the general flow of FF, its recognizable traits and play elements, enthralling story and music, etc... I don't see a reason why you would disfavor this game *once you actually can log in*.
One small note here in parting is, there are Chocobos to ride, aid in battle and compete against other Chocobos similar to Poke'mon - and the materia system, which speaks for itself.

This review really reveals nothing. You go on and on trying to be some sort of word smith but fail to really say anything substantial. You repeat yourself and offer very little in the way of game play description.
Having only played to level eleven myself I can only give a limited opinion. From what I have experienced so far the game plays a lot like many of the standard MMOs with players gaining skills every two levels or so and run of the mill crafting. I'm still undecided on purchasing this game and am having a hard time finding anything unique that really delivers a fresh experience from other games. The graphics and battles are beautiful though, with great detail and color but if all you are looking for is shiny objects and pretty lights you'd be better off spending your money on a SIMON, at least with that you don't have to wait three hours to log in.
