Maybe the Mordor devs could put together a Green Arrow game. They already have the punching and archery animations.

When I saw Mordor gameplay for the first time, that was my biggest hope. You can even add Black Canary as a secondary character. Actually, Green Arrow works REALLY well for this type of game, the more I think about it.

Suicide Squad is probably a shoe in though, in general, what with the film coming out and all.

If they made a Green Arrow game you know Stephen Amell would jump all over wanting to VO it for practically peanuts.

He'd need better direction than he had for Injustice, because that sounded phoned in to all hell. It was probably rushed, to be fair, and to my knowledge he isn't exactly a voice actor by trade, so the cards were probably stacked against him there. If they weren't doing a grim dark Arrow, then the JLU VA would probably be a better choice.

Wasn't that DLC? And isn't he also doing VA for Arrow in the animated thing too?

It was DLC, and kind of unexpected, imo. Which is why I can believe that they half assed it.

What animated thing? I hadn't heard of him doing any other VA work for pretty much anything.

Only reason to do this is when Nuuvem eventually does an AK game/season pass bundle deal for like $25. Then you can sit on it for another year until everything's actually released.

I miss the days before DLC.

What's with weirdos on this board caring that people have negative opinions on preordering?

If you didn't care you wouldn't bring it up. But people's points about preordering probably bother you because they make sense and you don't want to believe that you are making decisions that would seem to go against common sense. Or you just wanted to start an easy argument in a low effort troll opinion that has been used in every single discussion about preordering ever.

Hey I agree. Don't preorder but at the same time. Eh. Who cares if they waste their money?

Edit - hahah look at that weirdo toasty up there. Why did my opinion of not caring about people wasting their money bother you so much?

Edit 2- and to end this derail before it goes way to long. People who preorder will no matter how many times you tell them it's a bad idea. It's a losing battle and there will be dumb preorder bonuses forever unfortunately.

brilliant examples, two complete piles of poo poo

sometimes I like to have my poo poo ready to just get at the store after work without possibly seeing that they ran out of copies. if you already read reviews and know what you're getting then there's literally zero issue with preordering a week or so in advance. preordering like months in advance is what's kind of stupid.but even then you can usually cancel amazon stuff way before it comes out.

Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts!
I've never been burned on a preorder, but I only preorder when I know what I'm getting and would go for it day 1 anyway, so its an easy discount plus whatever dumb bonus content instead of waiting to hear what I already know from reviewers.

Arkham Knight is a pretty perfect example of a game that's easy to preorder. Forth entry following 3 great games, each variations of this amazing combat base, same developer as the first two, lots of information about the game, and pretty open media access.

Some blanket "dont ever preorder!" policy doesn't jive with like Arkham Knight or Phantom Pain where the type and quality of game you're getting are obvious. If you're preordering poo poo like Colonial Marines or AC Unity, then the problem is on your end and you're probably better off not preordering anything.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

If you're preordering from somebody like EA or Ubisoft who have a history of loving people over or producing poo poo games, then that's your own fault. But Rocksteady hasn't burned me yet so I don't see why I shouldn't pay for it now and save myself the trouble later.

Their wasting of their money has repercussions on the industry at large that come back around and effect people who don't preorder, hth.

Unfortunately the people who care already do but there are tons of people who eat that poo poo up. Nothing with change their mind. Even when they preorder and get a broken game day one.

But keep telling them to stop. I'm sure it will eventually work.

The final part of the plan is this only includes the pre-order skins.

Seriously though if all the cutscenes are in-game rather than pre-recorded FMV I'll be impressed if they let you do that.

After all the DLC is out or after it's won a bunch of GoTY awards and they want to get the best return usually. So could be like, 10-12 months, give or take.

Oh good. I loved that there was a cheat to let you use them in AC, and I hated that there was no way to do it in AO, especially since it was stuff that you paid for.

That said, my computer certainly won't run AK, so I won't have to worry about that for a while.
