Batman should just be lithe, fast, and smart. He should beat enemies with planning, trickery, and agility, not by punching them hardest. That's the character.

I mean, according to Bullseye he punches harder than Daredevil. If you've got it, flaunt it.

If your superhero uses bows and isn't some kind of back-assward wizard, he is not a superhero. I, personally, shouldn't be able to beat a member of the Justice League with a rifle I bought from loving Walmart.

That disqualifies a good portion of the Justice League.

In the comics his bow has around a 125 pound draw weight. An English longbowman in the middle ages could reach something like a 110 pound draw weight and it literally deformed their skeletons because of the stresses it put on their bodies. I don't know why games have the archers being skinny, those guys should have some serious muscle on them if they're using anything close to Green Arrow.

I mean Batman's thing is being smart and so physically strong despite being human so it makes sense for him to be drawn as super ripped. It's like Spider-Man having super strength but being more of an agile acrobat so he's drawn with a leaner physique

Nope. It happened in the big Marvel vs DC event of ‘96. Bullseye got teleported to the Batcave, panicked and took Robin hostage, and then got a first-hand lesson in The Goddamn Batman.

Alan Moore wrote a Green Arrow story in the 80s where some rando decides to pick up his own bow and prove that regular people can take on the superheroes, without any dumb supervillain identities, and even manages to wound Black Canary. He subsequently learns that Green Arrow is a much better archer than him.

It's like that Mitch Hedberg joke about how escalators can't be "out of order", they become stairs. With that contraption Bruce Wayne can't fail, he becomes the bat.

Doubtful, because he owns them, and has a Batcave under every single one of them full of increasingly ridiculous bat-gym equipment, including a punching bag with the Joker's face.

In XCOM 2, your goal is to stop the creation of psychic super-beings called Avatars. During the story, you summon an incomplete one with missing HP, and everyone is shocked by the appearance of this new, never-before-seen life form. Then you fight three in the last mission, and that's it.

They just released some freeLC story missions about the days between XCOM 1 and 2, framed by some characters reminiscing. To spice up the difficulty, some Avatars appear patrolling around. No explanation is given other than someone saying "You're not going to believe this, but I swear we fought an Avatar. I don't know how, you're just going to have to trust me. It was the hair."

I appreciated the audacity.

Back when I played SoulCalibur II and III, I loved all the different pieces of lore and flavor text that were included with the stages, weapons, etc. I'm really happy that's back for the most part in VI. I just started the game and there are already a bunch of different things to read about characters, events, and different weapons you can give your character.

Is the consensus on XCOM 2 still to not buy War of the Chosen if you're playing it on PS4? Something about it crashing people's machines or along those lines.
