Morpheus posted:I liked the idea, but I thought they took waaaaay too loving long to get to the point. Even when they start realize what's going on, you still need to do the cycle one more time, which is ridiculous because they know what's going to happen. Kind of agree with you here that it feels like a lot of padding, but it's fun to turn the second cycle into pretty much Boss Rush mode cause you've outleveled everyone, and then then the third cycle goes even faster and drops some more story cause the world is different enough. And then you get Obliterate by leveling up the Conjurer class and grinding for levels becomes trivial. I've been having fun with it. One thing totally caught me off guard, though. I was pretty sure from mid way through the first cycle that Airy was up to something with the way she's always pushing you to ignore sidequest stuff in her menu screen dialog, but I totally missed that the pattern on her wings was counting down with each cycle. Really neat little touch that went totally over my head until they revealed it.

LumpyGumby posted:Been taking time off of playing MGS and went to replay Batman: Arkham City, and there was one small detail I noticed. Spoilers for a five year old game. During the big fight near the middle of the game where you take on a suddenly healthy Joker, if you go into X-Ray mode, Joker has no skeleton. This is actually a callback to Arkham Asylum where you could talk to Clayface in his cell. He'd always take on the appearance of other characters to taunt you or try to trick you, but if you looked at him in X-Ray, he had no skeleton. So if you remembered that minor, missable detail from the first game, you could spoil yourself on the big twist in City in the middle of the game.

A couple of my favorite moments from Arkham Knight so far involve the (story spoiler) Joker hallucinations. Someone mentioned Bruce's answering machine in Wayne Tower, well if you keep playing it past the regular messages you get one from Joker pretending to be Bruce's father chiding Bruce for running around town in a bat costume. Listen to the next message and this time Joker pretends to be Bruce's mom, doing a falsetto voice and everything, but he cracks up laughing before he can finish the message. The other moment has to do with the side mission about ManBat. The game introduces you to him with a jumpscare when you grapple onto a certain ledge. Well, several hours later, I'm swinging around in that part of town and just happen to grapple to the same ledge again. The game throws ANOTHER jumpscare at you, only this time it's Joker, who laughs at you and then makes fun of you for getting startled the first time.

Ryoshi was talking about the weekly brawl game mode. Each week it's got a new set of rules that changes the game totally. Last week it was that you spawned with a random hero every time you died. This week? Everyone is Soldier 76 and has lower health than normal. Bullets and rockets everywhere.
