It's pretty funny how frequently they make you stop and do car bullshit in Arkham Knight, but the real millstone around that game's neck is the story.

Yeah the car is pretty great as a toy but it’s not a precision instrument and they shouldn’t have made you use it as one so often

Remember how in the leadup Rocksteady was adamant that the villain, the actual Arkham Knight, was going to be a wholly original character who'd surprise fans.

Then it turned out to just be Jason Todd again, lmao

The tank sections were fine and the car bits were fine if you gave up on actually trying to steer it and just pointed it in the general direction and let it do what it liked.

That's what I've been kinda doing, it's not like it takes damage so whatever, just plow through all the barricades and criminals in the streets. I dunno if Batman kills anyone but he's definitely left some paraplegic car accident victims in his wake.

I thought it fit in well with their whole duality theme.

Eh. I liked Arkham Knight. Batmobile was a little too emphasized but I think it’s the culmination of their efforts to make a Batman game that really captured the character and universe. People prefer the tighter design of Asylum on the whole but I thought all three games were outstanding.

I’ll co-sign this. That game secretly kicked rear end and had a stellar voice cast despite not being the alumni from the main series. It also had the best detective stuff.

minimally, if it’s made in the last 5 or 6 years. newer models have passive settings intended to reduce exposure for persistent logos or HUD elements. just don’t accidentally leave it on or play the same thing for hundreds of hours

Not really these days.

That is, unless you're the kind of person to have the TV on showing fox news/cnn all day.

But modern OLED TVs do have prevention measures built-in that should help with normal usage.

I've been used a C1 since November 2021 with thousands of hours of game/movie time and no burn-in.

Yeah even on the new OLeD steam deck it took like 400 hours of a static image before there was burn in.

YOU ARE THE DUMBEST MEATHEAD IDIOT ON THE PLANET, STOP FUCKING POSTING



jumped into RE8 last night. just beat the first boss Lady D and so far it's alllriiight. like in RE7, the art direction is cool. the graphics are a noticeable step up. loading and saving time is basically non existent which is great. i'm not 100% sold on the cheese though. it makes it feel like a fun bad game instead of a fun good game if that makes sense?

i'm happy i played RE7 before this. it was short enough to blast through, and it absolutely is helpful to understand the backstory (even though you don't need to know it) and really the main thing is just seeing the evolution of the FPS style gameplay and the quality of life tweaks they do from one game to the next. but one baffling thing is that the inventory management system seems so rigid compared to RE7, and especially compared to RE4R. in 8, you can't grab anything and place it over another item to swap places, which makes ordering things around an unnecessary pain in the rear end. i wound up getting a sniper rifle and was told that my inventory couldn't hold it even though i had enough spaces for it, i just had to move things around, and that was a slow boring annoying process instead of being quick and simple. it's a minor mechanic nitpick though and really for the most part it controls and operates fine-to-smooth. no real complaints in that department.

it's not as scary or ominous feeling as 7, but i like the more elaborate setting so far. more enemy variety is nice. they kind of act like RE4 enemies in how they bob out of your crosshairs and you can shoot their weapon-holding hand to make them drop what they're carrying. i do miss being able to punch or roundhouse them like chris in the RE7 DLC or leon in 4.

If you can afford a Large OLED TV, you can afford Blackout Curtains.

lol. Daylight is important, don't be a goblin. Just adapt to your space and buy something appropriate.

A qn90a is AS good as a c2. Rtings can detect a measurable difference but they're both incredible tvs. One is better in dark rooms and one is better if you play in a living room and have a wife.

Edit: I came at you hot then I thought you were making GBS threads on my choice of tv implying I should have got blackout curtains instead of a Samsung.

The problem is we know how to do it but most publishers and devs kinda dont or dont even understand the nuances of it themselves anymore

I always figured that these rom collections are just cash grabs 90% of the time so it’s always a lowest bidder contractor, so fancy CRT recreation always falls down the list of priorities.
Except - we’ve seen these rom collections for years. What else can they bring to the table?
