Yeah, I haven't really messed with Batman much since beating Arkyam Asylum and playing a few hours of Arkham City years ago. Skipped the others. Played a few hours last night and got up to the part where Joker shows up and Gordon's daughter is kidnapped and yeaaaaaaaaah, this game seems pretty bad rear end. I remember hearing so many bad things about it. I felt like a bad rear end playing it.

To everybody messed up about the Batmobile....aren't these controls for the Batmobile basically the same as the really good Transformers games? Seems to remind me of them.

Batmobile is fine, there's just way too drat much of it(you'll see). Hiding the ending behind all thousand of those Riddler shits, gently caress that noise.

Its just super weird in a series that established you can fly. Now I go in a car for reasons. And these street thugs made remote control cars so I can guilt free blow them up. Its just dumb and lame.

The Batmobile is fine, it's the Bat-Tank that gets a bit annoying.

The game is still great.

Yes.

I can't stop playing it.

I've only really done one build if one weapon.

People are starting to suggest that ng is like the easy story mode souls-style game and that ng+ kicks it into ninja gaiden territory. Which is awesome.

I don't remember enough about the flying mechanics in the previous games to know what the difference is but the flying in Knight felt way better. Maybe they were just more forgiving with your glide distance or there was more space in the city to spread your wings. I dunno, but it was such a joy.

i thought the silent hill movie was more or less fine but i also thought that the way the movie basically devolves into torture porn towards the end shows that they either didnt get the initial appeal or they were worried audience goers would need the torture porn to be satisfied, like they needed sean bean there for some reason. i wish that whoever had been put in charge of making a silent hill movie was someone who desperately wanted to make a modern version of jacobs ladder, as that seems ripe for the opportunity but they didnt so whatever.

sidebar but my time budget just isnt what it used to be anymore and i want to buy nioh, nier automata, and torment and i know i will have at most the time to finish two of these. its gonna be for my birthday so i refuse to be practical, which games will be the best for my limited available time, goons

Lol I completely forgot Sean Bean was in Silent Hill

I've said it before and I know I'm weird for it, but AK was my first Batman game and I loved the Batmobile. I even liked those tank battles a lot although they got repetitive. They got really challenging towards the end.

Monolith hasn't announced any games since SoM, and considering how well it was received it's pretty inconceivable that they aren't working on another one.

Lots of PS4 games and bits of the OS will poo poo themselves if they think they can connect and fail, but if you cut off internet in system settings they'll skip it and work properly. Might be worth trying.

Oh. That's not really on XCOM then, is it?

I played it for a week straight before I even got home to play with an internet connection so it's not a requirement by any means.

It's the first good multiplayer game in a long time where you're not just shooting people. I think people are writing it off unfairly because it's something unfamiliar.

I'm writing it off because it's a Ubisoft game with a season pass and loot boxes but p2p based multiplayer and Ubisoft seem to be pumping out all these multiplayer games at an incredible rate.

I mean the opponents are computer controlled so in that sense it's a botmatch? but not really. I don't even go for multiplayer shootathons but yeah this is a different beast I find myself wanting to sink my teeth into it and get good at slicing people up online

It's been said many times now the season pass they do now has changed in that it's not required for any of the new DLC maps modes etc.

But apparently there will be story DLC to complete the cliffhanger in the main game
