You forget to mention why (BoF4 spoilers) they turned Nina's sister into some kinda semi-immortal abomination. They invented some kind of cannon that is powered by the emotional connection between the fuel and the target (they first test it out on Fou-Lu by using the woman who nursed him to health and was the only person nice to him since he woke up). Now, Nina's sister is known and loved throughout the lands, however, she'd be killed the first time she was used by the cannon. So they turn her into that thing so she can be used as much as they want to blow up everyone she cared about.

It’s weird that Breath of Fire 2 refers to Nina’s wings as being black (and makes it a plot point) but they are literally never black in-game. I assume it’s something to do with the questionable translation.

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:I could never get into the first game but I love Breath of Fire 2 and it’s weird scenarios. I think I've mentioned it before, but I still say Robopon 2 wins for my personal favorite weird scenarios in a JRPG thing. The game starts off as a direct sequel to the original. The main character, having just won a pokemon-style grand master tournament leaves all his poke-bots at home entirely by accident while he goes off to enter a new tournament. That's your entire excuse for having to catch new ones. Your first antagonist is a lunatic pretending to be a pharoh and you kill him by collapsing a pyramid on his head.  There's time travel, there's a guy who's totally not Bill Gates running a mega corporation that's totally not windows. At some point martians get involved. The game is just bizarre and I love it.

They're not pure black, but if they were you wouldn't be able to see any details on the wings.

Ah, ok. There’s also that one menu where yes/no option is somehow reversed. On the other hand, you have you travel down through a toilet on two seperate occasions, which is cool.

In a similar vein that's why superhero comics would use dark blue for black hair because the printing was so bad if they used black it would bleed through the page.

Arkham Knight's insistence that the baddies aren't being killed by the Batmobile is ridiculous. How can tasering a goon while running them over with a 100mph tank be less murderous than just running them over? Necrothatcher has a new favorite as of 02:31 on Mar 16, 2018 |

Batman falls into the same problem as most superheroes where there's really only 2-3 kinds of stories you can tell, so people keep repeating those unto infinity.

Superheroes turn into vehicles to explore villains after like ten years if you're an excellent writer If you're mediocre, it drops to like two years If you're terrible or edgy you get maybe half an issue

The electricity knocks them out and we all know that drunk/relaxed people handle impacts a lot better than conscious/tense people do. Also they never go more than 10 feet at most.

FactsAreUseless posted:I'm starting to think that Batman isn't a very good or interesting character. What the heck? Oh man I'm so fed up with Batman and the genre. Back when they used to be campy, you at least had the villain of the week which offers a gimmick. But ever since we started deconstructing the genre making it more grounded and gritty, set in a realistic world it just underlines how stupid everything is. You still have to have Batman, the costume, the gadgets, in gotham, and there needs to be a supervillain (aka always the Joker), and nobody can die permanently. I recently bought all the Arkham games and even though they're supposed to be real fun games I can't get myself to care about anything in it because I've seen and read all of this exact same poo poo many times over. It's not even cliché, it's reruns. Send Batman on a vacation I'd play the poo poo out of this game:

I'd dig a Batman game done in the style of that Shattered Dimensions Spider-Man game. Just a trip through all sorts of weird takes on the character from across the years.

Superman is a really good character and he gets written like poo poo. Batman isn't a good character, so he doesn't even have anything interesting to build on. Fortunately, he still gets written like poo poo.

Wanna see the next Batman game based on the time he was stuck in the stone age, but it still has a Batmobile that works Flintstones style.

Just make a Batman game where the main character isn't Batman. Batman gets captured by someone as Bruce and held somewhere he can't get gadgets or messages out and Alfred gets his shotgun and goes to the rescue. Robin all like "You just shot Twoface in the stomach...  " while Alfred's all "I was a field medic during the war, he'll live." while dressing his wound and restraining him for the police.

Well there is a city-building sim that I've seen on the shelf where you can get perks and bonuses by using Organized Crime to cheat a little. Never bought it because I don't enjoy those kinds of games but it's an interesting twist on the formula. Sim City meets Evil Genius.
