I honestly wonder if gamers have lost sight on what a ‘bad’ game is the older I get. Something like Fluster Cluck, that’s what I see as a bad game (So bad I contacted Sony and they gave me a ‘one time’ refund).

You know it’s actually a lot better than I expected. A bit janky, sure, but surprisingly engaging combat and the characters play a lot differently than I expected based on how it was covered in the press.

Here’s the thing, though, it’s not bad.

It’s not the strictly linear, single player-only, narrative driven Avengers game everyone (myself included) was hoping for, but it’s nowhere near bad and the campaign is, as point of fact, genuinely excellent.

“I’ve seen videos...”

So did we all, before release. As to the epileptic…

i am so fucking sick of “evil superman” i get that it makes a big threat enemy, and helps answer the question, “why not send the flying guy who can punch a whole in the planet and move at absurd speeds” but it is just so utterly and completely played out at this point.

I’m pretty sure you’ll fight him during the tutorial, get whupped and survive through pure luck, then spend the rest of the game trying to lift his mind control by taking out key Braniac targets.

Seriously, this is the Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman guy. What motivates anybody to imagine his cut would be any better than the theatrical version ... or even AS good?

The world will soon know for certain if Zack Snyder is a superior creator, or if (as his filmography spanning two decades suggests) he is a one-note hack who consistently misunderstands the source material he’s adapting.

This is rehashed every time the game is brought up I know but man I really wish there was a third person option for this. I have the same issue with stealth in first person and in general, have an easier time with perception in 3rd. I absolutely love everything I’m seeing about this, and if it even hits 1/100th of the…

It is a sales demo.

And yet no mention of the multiple times crocodilian-like animals evolved. Weird.

This went from “ok so you’re critical of them” to “holy shit you’re a festering asshole” right quick, didn’t it?

Congratulations on being an asshole for absolutely no reason at all

Dear Savage Nobody,

Lucky for you this one has turn based combat!

Your comment implies that you (and those who share your view) are persuadable given an adequate argument. I question that assumption. Ultimately the persuasiveness of any argument depends on how you value the fundamental thing being argued over.

If you don’t have a problem with lack of representation in video games, no one can “argue you” into caring about it. There are only about a thousand studies to back up how important representation in media is to the emotional and mental health of people from marginalized groups. If you haven’t internalized that…

Excellent question. If only someone might patiently explain it to you in roughly 2,100 words or so.

If only...

Counterpoint: the rest of the Star Wars universe without the Jedi just isn’t that interesting, has an extremely spotty track record in fiction with more lows than highs, doesn’t generate as much interest among fans, and could take place interchangeably in almost any space fantasy universe.
