The B-52 is like an old mallet. It feels just right. It’s simpler than some high tech mallets that try to be ergonomic and easy on the wrist and elbow, and have high friction handles and so forth. It won’t really help you in a real fight, but it’s reliable enough when you just need it to do its job.

“It will have them do all the work and then swoop in, literally, and deliver the final blow. Yes, Honchkrow is that kind of boss” Oh, I’ve dealt with those before in beat-em-ups like Final Fight. Cheap bastards.

You know what they say, you are what you eat. Poor critters, eaten alive tho.

PS3 did not “come out ahead” because the race was over - you must have seen that debunked image of global sales where it tracked sales to 2016. 2016. Let that sink in. That’s 3 years after PS4 and XBO were out. If you and I race a relay race, and I get to my guy before you, and stop, you get to your guy next and keep…

What’s funny is that we can tell the people at AC who won, by the time we got a response, we’d have another president even if the president got re-elected for second term.

Dude, just stop with “The North” - it was not an entity. It was not one person. There were thousands of people. In your own article you posted, your own quote: “while emancipation was welcomed by abolitionists and their radical Republican allies in Congress, it was denounced by conservative Democrats in the North…

“New York is relatively one-to-one” - I would say somewhere around 1/3 or 2/3 of NY. I was comparing my favorite streets and places I used to work at and things just weren’t there. I thought I missed them, went back, 2 blocks later, found myself in the next part of the neighborhood. They definitely got the feel of…

Ignorance is bliss, isn’t it?

“Considering it’s pretty much never a plot point for him” - The game pretty much starts with him going to help Aunt May at a homeless shelter. A lot of people there probably suffered from drug abuse or were around someone who has. If anything, he has a much more exposure to it than most people.

Right. Unlike a murderer, who sees his act the second he commits it. A drug dealer may think they are doing a service by giving people what they want. They don’t see the bigger harm done. I’m not talking about a kid behind the school selling cheap weed. Talking meth, fentanyl etc.

Didn’t really care for Miles in Marvel’s Spider-Man. His missions all kinda sucked. So I’m glad to see him finally in a suit. That said, last game was a tough act to follow. Hopefully, there won’t be any promised puddles missing when this launches.

The cars look great, but the world looks a bit sub-Forza. Granted this is not an open world game like Horizon series - so that’s understandable. I’m sure they have time to give some lower-priority models (like the guy in the background on the left) a facelift.

It also allows to differentiate him a bit from typical Batman routine where he as one “in” person in the entire department that’s mostly out to get him. This is not teen-Peter. This Peter is an adult, the police has had him around for better half of a decade probably. There’s no reason for them to shoot him on sight.

2am is the worst repetitive thing I heard in games as background theme in years. It’s so bad that I feel forced to go to sleep.

“Planet Earth: Pokemon Edition documentary and also...someone should make that. Imagine something with the budget of Detective Pikachu but based on Planet Earth.” - you realize you will not only see Pokemon hunting/eating other Pokemon, but also Pokemon mating - rituals, calls, the whole shebang.

Cool. I’ll wait until this edition falls to $30 after 6 months of taking up warehouse space.

You’re right. And while I read your comment I came into realization that one series has been increasingly better at representing the world - Civilization games. They are still very West Europe focused, but over the years they have branched out and included other civs out of box like Poland. They also started to…

“Quite a few" is not enough. And how many are protagonists of AAA titles? I'll let you get off your high horse and take "time and effort" to find them. 

next steps: More black protagonists.
after that: More black protagonists from different parts of the world. (A step even white protagonist characters didn’t fully made. For every Nico, there’s a hundred Nathan Drakes. A lot of people are still having trouble getting over “brown haired white guy” and don’t realize…

Does anyone know a shortcut to move between chapters using the keyboard? I saw the Tetris Effect guys put the OST with chapters, but I couldn’t figure out how to skip through songs easily.
