Had a similar idea but more body horror mob stuff. Also it wouldnt just be one Joker as it would be various people telling their recollection of old jobs: an old timer who remembers a younger joker just starting out, a few middle age guys telling their stints as lackeys on a few odd jobs with each one describing the…

Maybe...hopefully...pleadingly...this is a tease that the winds are changing and it is not longer an Origin story, but more of a Joker side story.

Well, in terms of official Lego, I’m really partial to the Lizard Guy who came out in an early wave of collectibles:

This needs to be a new version of “Clue” board game.

YOU MEAN: “DISDAINFULLY: OTHELLO X MASS EFFECT NEEDS MORE ELCOR.”

Or how about instead of just covering the elite, covering good things that the YouTube “middle class” are doing. Pat Contri (Pat the NES Punk) has been doing an annual NES Marathon to raise money for a variety of charities over the past 8 years. Last year’s marathon even featured Jirard Khalil of The Completionis and…

The only problem with Life in Aggro, is that they basically spoiled the joke. Would’ve been funnier if they didn’t.

...son of a bitch.

Somebody fixed it for you

I think most casual gamers think Heavy Rain and Detroit are fine games. It’s just “hardcore” gamers, and generally people who bother writing comments on the internet who complain about them, and I believe they are just a vocal minority, relatively speaking. if you look at something like Metacritic, both those games…

This may seem pretentious, but for me, Shenmue was uniquley trancendant in a Zen sort of way. The way it almost buried the narrative in layers and layers of mundane verisimillitude spoke to the underlying premise that it’s not adventures or heroes or destiny that’s important, but the wonder and beauty of what we…

In addition to what others have said, David Cage games are incredibly pretentious and often include ludicrous twists, or just drop intriguing plot points altogether. Whereas Shenmue’s narrative, while too ambitious for its own good and unwieldy, unfolds at whatever pace you play the game. Cage games are generally…

The story is pretty bad, actually. Along with the terrible writing and acting, they make the Quantic Dream games look like Oscar winners.

This is Garbage.

I’d like to point out the difference in how Cage and Shenmue handle QTEs...

So Shenmue also has a combat system and an action based QTE system in these two the controls are similar...

In combat, X-Punch, A-Kick, Y-Dodge, B-Throw
In QTEs, X-Punch, A-Kick/Jump, Y-Dodge, B-Throw

As you can see, besides Jumping with A, they…

Shenmue arrived at a time where there was not so many “lifelike” japanese games around.

The Shenmue games aren’t interactive movies, or like the Telltale Games. They’re more of a precussor to the Yakuza games, or a sandbox game, with a much smaller sandbox to play in. 

The story is the main draw for me, want to know how things play out. The atmosphere and the feeling of being in an actual living, breathing world was incredible at the time. Everyone had their own schedule, you can waste time in an arcade or gambling, it was different experience back then. The battle mechanics are…

The better question is why do people who love Shenmue feel like they need another Shenmue over just playing Yakuza and wanting more of that or spin-offs of that.
