This is not the first controversy to arise since Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbs in Fast Five. In the past, there have been rumors about Johnson and Diesel not seeing eye to eye. However, despite this fact, Diesel has come to the defense of Johnson in this moment.

How To Put Awesome Custom Cases On Your Switch

How to Make Destiny 2 Even Better

Destiny 2 launched in much better shape than the original game. It tells a much better story filled with interesting characters, features a really smart leveling curve, and adds a ton of quality of life improvements. Plus, a pretty dope Raid hit just a week after the game launched.

Still, there are ways that Bungie can make Destiny 2 even better. Here are some of our suggestions.

As of right now, Lost Sectors are little more than bland caves filled with a slew of random enemies and one single high-level boss. It’d be great if Bungie expanded these a bit and made them feel more like small, self-contained dungeons. Maybe some puzzles, a bit of story and lore, and differing atmospheres to incentivize exploring their depths.

Watch 12 Minutes of New The Hunt: Showdown Gameplay

Watch 12 minutes of new Hunt: Showdown gameplay in the video up above, as the developers guide you through a match.

Banishing giant spiders and hulking pig men back to their respective circles of hell can be an absolute nightmare, let me tell you.

And it certainly isn’t helped when opposing hunting parties block your exit routes with barbed wire or lob flares in through the windows, making it impossible to see what you’re doing. That’s the thing about Hunt: Showdown. While ostensibly you’re tracking down and slaughtering hideous monsters, in truth, you’re the one that’s being hunted.
