Western comics isn't just Marvel and DC you know.

e: I mean yeah we're talking about superhero comics, sure, but those can be intensely character-driven too. Go read good comics instead of playing a mediocre video game.

Is Rocket Slime any good? Finished Ghost Trick and other than the ending being short of hilariously ridiculous, it was great. Lot of DS back catalog poo poo I missed...

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:

Uh... pretty much anything off the Vertigo label, particularly Sandman and Hellblazer? Walking Dead? Most of the recent runs of Dark Horse Star Wars comics like KotOR and Empire? Most poo poo written by Garth Ennis?

Yeah. :colbert:

The game is split into two main parts. One is the main character (named Rocket) running around in what is basically Zelda-lite and the other is GIANT TANK BATTLES where you launch dozens of random items at reach other.

OK, Asterix is French and Tintin is Belgian. In case anyone is curious, my college makes people take a basic writing class on random subjects, and I was assigned Franco-belgian comics.

It would be pretty cool if someone made another Tintin game that imitated the aesthetic of the comic rather than the bizarro CG of the Spielberg movie. Something like Infogrames' SNES titles but not frustratingly difficult.

Which FE:A DLC is the one where you can get xp for your low level dudes? My party of Vaike, Kellum, Sully, Lon'qu, Panne and Tharja + healers and Chrom and Avatar are destroying things and leaving nothing for the low level guys (like Donnel) to kill.

Also I went in expecting to hate Vaike and now I love him, now if only he could find love. On the battlefield.

Make Vaike a dad, he should settle down and focus on his teaching duties.

Is there a negative to having people pair off, like if I have Kellum running with Tharja, will she pop out a mage that can take a hit, but does little damage, as compared to like Tharja + crow dude?

Parent's growths(% chance of a stat increasing on level up)/stat caps are used in a formula alongside a set of default values for each kid to determine the growths and caps of the kid. So yeah if you want the kid to be better at magic, Henry, more tank, Kellam. The game is simple enough that this isn't really something you should worry about.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Or you can launch yourself into the enemy tank and sabotage it by stealing their poo poo.

Rocket Knight is amazing, everyone should play it, if you don't have it, go get it. That's all. :)
