1) get excited for game after seeing awesome screenshots

Right in the nostalgia. :’(

I don’t think they could’ve made the animal characters look good with just minifig heads at all. I see it this way: they’re all just disneyland actors. The human characters are played by people with makeup. The animal ones have big fake heads.

I thought they actually did sell complete sets. Can’t find info on it though.

A whole bunch of characters have that GENERIC pose, you fucking retards holy fucking shit.

For some reason he looks so much like a younger Tim Shafer to me:

On the contrary, people who make straight reproductions of existing games are just “regular” pirates who take the risk of getting sued by a corporation.

Just my 2c, but you should teach your kids that sometimes there is no sense in waiting just because you’re in doubt about something.

Haven’t played Batman (yet), but the Darksiders games were alright, 2 kinda felt cut short though. Which makes sense seeing as what happened to THQ. Anyway, I just don’t feel spoilt for choice like I do for open-world or linear games.

That series (and Blodborne which I kinda consider a spinoff) has been mentioned three times already, that kinda shows you how much choice we have for that kinda game nowadays. :p

Yeah but the involvement still comes from combat almost exclusively. I guess that’s my major beef with games now. Combat focus to the detriment of almost everything else.

Yeah, too bad that’s not the kind of game that’s generally favored by the industry anymore. Even Metroid itself has gotten more linear.

I’ve been past caring about the pores on a model’s skin and the stitches on its clothes ever since Crysis. This just looks like a bunch of nothing to me.

Metroid and metroid-like games were perfect for that, without devolving into mindless on-rails borefests at the same time. But it seems the industry just doesn’t like those anymore.

This game series goes too far in the other direction, just like CoD or other big name “cinematic experiences”.

Well of course you don’t need to concern yourself with greedy immoral assholes who commit injustice, this world is too full of them and life is too short. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are, and that Kotaku shouldn’t put them in a positive light.

I’m not talking about the corporations, I’m talking about the small individual whose months or often years of work to create a fan-translation or fan-mod is being stolen and sold for a huge markup.

That doesn’t make it any less morally reprehensible, especially towards homebrew translators, and it shouldn’t be encouraged.

I don’t think you’ve quite understood what I’m saying.

I remember this exact thing being done in a different game years ago. It had the same side-on view, and the same thing with the different colored limbs for each player. Except you were a giant monster or something instead of Voltron?
