I don’t know about any places on Kotaku or io9 where there are ongoing discussions about Secret Wars, but then, I’ve never checked. As for which books you should be reading, do you mean within the Secret Wars line? If so, then there are none you NEED to read. Just pick based on what looks the most interesting to you.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. Killing Cyclops only makes him more of my personal hero! :P

I agree. I understand that the core of Doom’s character is that he always undermines himself- Doom 2099 is one of my favourite titles of all time, and that was basically the point of it- but especially after multiple writers, including Hickman himself, have had Doom seemingly move past his rivalry with Richards...…

Yeah, but I was hoping that there’d be more to it, like he had incomplete control over the Beyonder’s power or something, but it seems he’s just still a jackass.

I’m going to try to keep this spoiler-free and short, but be warned.

I wasn’t very happy with the way Doom regressed this issue. The way it looks to me, it looks like he’s going to be the series antagonist. After last month, I was hoping for something more textured.

Well of course they knew. They didn’t withhold the PC release code because they fucking forgot.

Yet there are still assholes who are so solipsitic that they insist that because the stars happened to align for them in such a way that the game is playable, there must be no problem at all. Just some kind of immense group…

You’re a funny, funny man.

I’m glad to hear it. If they fix it before the Steam return period is up, I’ll find out for myself. Otherwise I’ll return it and perhaps re-purchase when the inevitable GotY version comes out.

I’m honestly happy for you. I was one of the fortunate people who had no problems with MKX whatsoever from the start, so I know where you’re coming from. But there’s still a problem, even if it isn’t directly affecting you.

I’m not going to get into a hardware-penis measuring contest. Suffice to say I can run everything well except that piece of shit. Even MKX runs well for me.

PC users have an unfair advantage; When the game’s running at 1 frame per second, you have far more time to consider your next move.

It isn’t even a riddle. Somewhere out there is an aspiring super-criminal who wants to become Obstacle Course Man, and Riddler’s already stolen his schtick.

It’s best not to take that as any kind of canon. It’s obvious that in both MK9 and MKX they skimped on giving everyone custom skeletons. I can’t really blame them.

Well, this is an article I can skip.

But was he thankful?

As long as we’re being pedantic, CSI: Battleworld is how it would be parsed in CSI’s naming scheme, unless I missed that time when CSI: Miami was called CSI: Horatio Caine. But Law and Thorder is a better joke, so I’m upvoting that one.

He even says “I am Thor.”

I’ll cut them some slack for being caught in THQ’s demise and the resulting rummage sale. That ate a lot of time.

I am worried, though. The company who bought the property- Nordic Games- really don’t seem to have done very much apart from, well, buy properties and occasionally port things. But perhaps they have great…

It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a bad case of determined logorrhoea. This man can’t say in five words what he could say in five hundred.

It’s a start. I’ll re-install on the fifth and see if the game is playable for me by then, then make a decision about returning it.
