They’re fun mechanically, but like everything tainted by Frank Miller there’s a singular misunderstanding that Batman’s best runs are about a guy called Bruce whose is a dad to a big group of dysfunctional but loving mostly-orphans, and his day job is playing a role called Bruce Wayne (a playboy) and his night job is…

Combat challenges are the worst? No no no: DRONE challenges are the worst.

Oh god I’m sounding like the dicks on reddit who answer your question going ‘I found that part so easy I can’t comprehend it being an issue conceptually therefore I’m going to treat like you’re not humanly capable of ever playing a video game.’…

Fair.

He doesn’t get the chance to be funny or assholish enough to be proper Steven, and while I love Crowe’s Jack, the Jack in the film is the idealized hero that Jack inhabits only occasionally in the books: it’s hard to see Crowe’s Jack leaving you screaming at the screen “YOU FUCKING IDIOT NO” as he blithely gives away…

The first one is inarguable the most difficult to get into: people who bounce hard off the jargony first one can still fall in love with the loving Jane Austen homage of Post Captain, the seoncd book, and it’s clear from book two-on that an editor came in with a remit to make the books somewhat more accessible to he…

I mean yeah it’s a typo, but it doesn’t make the sentence better when you correct for it. The sentence is badly written.

A stronger and less perplexing phrasing would be:

“a movie that he will heroically defend for as long as he lives”

... yeah? Because it’s a great fucking movie?

But I thought because had it done so that made what it.

Black Widow was the last MCU movie I thought was any good, and thus made its forgone ending so deeply frustrating because ehre was a team ofa ctors who played beautifully off one-another and whom you fundamentally wanted to see more of.

But I think it speaks so much to Black Widow’s role in the first MCU phases as ‘the…

I tried to go back to Arkham Knight and was jsut stymied by how agressively ugly and joyless everything was.

That and the unbelievable levels of misogyny, but mostly just how much the game thought being Batman sucked.

Their chat bot new hires have really improved efficiency.

“Only Up! basically has you running through an obstacle course and parkouring through it gradually escalates.”

Beg pardon?

If web-slinging through a Manhattan that looks that detailed does sing to your soul then yeah, I don’t think SM is going to be a game that’ll sit with you as something really special.

But for those of for whom taht does something to our hind brains, mmmh, it be so good.

In a way all the Screwball/taskmaster challenges…

I get so exhausted by the amount of time, labour, and passion that gets squandered on awful scripts. I see it in films, in television, in video games: no one respects the craft of writing, no one seems to support it, nobody pays for it.

Okay.

I watched the trailer for this along with several other before seeing Across the Spider-verse and as transporting and spell-binding as that movie was I kept thinking ‘man, every frame of this film makes those awful noisy trailers look like tired, generic crap.’

I expect nothing from Trolls 3 and will get it, but this…

Sorry, I misspoke: in the concept art for the unfortunately never-made ‘Mass Effect 3,’ Jack was indeed apparently supposed to cosplay as Leeloo from The Fifth Element under the World’s Tackiest Bolero Jacket, you are correct.

Of course, as we all know, that game doesn’t actually exist so we were spared that. Thank…

The Dreamcast condoms were underrated.

Oh god yeah, her... nipple belt is a baffling piece of fashion technology, and in ME3 she somehow manages to pair it with the worst’s tackiest bolero jacket.

Essentially, yeah.
