Doesn't the new Spiderman game just like, straight up ignore all the consequences of hero punching off building type things.

Which is the way to go in all honesty. Just pretend that death isn't a thing and keep on punching.

I assume it doesn't, since I can't tell if he's webbing them as they fly off. And that's good enough for me!

Batman's cowl says they've been tased unconscious after being hit by his tankmobile? Sure, fine, I can believe it. I've got a hallucination of a deceased villain making small talk already, what's another absurd incident?

i mean, i was just gonna go there and say this but i was trying to answer you genuinely. but yeah, it's a video game about a comic book character. if the cars have been programmed to do as much damage as balsa wood, then they will. also, though spider-man is supposed to be super strong it really depends on whether or not the writer of the comic remembers to make it a relevant point in the story and let me tell you comic book powers are hella inconsistent

Spider-Man is extremely strong and can lift cars and throw them with relative. He is also very aware of this and regularly pulls his punches when fighting bad guys. Those street level mooks? They would be dead if he hit them full force.

I remeber this coming up in the Superior SpiderMan, the one where Doc Ock takes over SpiderMan's body. While testing his spider powers, Ock is shocked to learn that SpiderMan has been purposely pulling his punches all these years and couldve one punched him dead at any time.

Dragon Quest 11 has put a lot of loving detail into the battle animations of the monsters, but as I'm trying to play through the game relatively quickly, I kind of wish I could turn them off, or at least use shortened versions, because they make battle progress very slowly.

As far as I can tell there's no way to do this, sadly!

So Spidey could take the anchor of a cruise ship (which less than a minute of googling tells me weight between 12 about 20 tons) and just whip that around. Or if he took the anchors from some smaller cruise ships, he could dual wield them like Kratos's Chaos Blades.

I just wanted to tell you, in the new game, Spider-Man can lift 10 tons. It's in his bio. But, theoretically, he could.

Sorry I said it was 25 tons. I'm pretty sure that's his limit in the comics.

A fantasy land where knocking people unconscious doesn't leave horrible lasting trauma and people gain super strength by burning specific herbs in combination. If you let me hit a dude with a car and tell me he's fine? I'll believe you. What, am I supposed to tell you your fantasy world where none of the things that happen are real is too unrealistic? I'm already knocking people off skyscrapers as it stands and I'm not 100% sure if he's webbing them so they don't slam into the ground at 50 mph.

After years of putting it off, I’m finally playing through the Kingdom Hearts series. 1 was solidly decent, CoM was odd but fun, and 2 was probably one of the best ARPGs I’ve played.

I finished Terra’s story in BBS and I’m bouncing off hard from the idea of starting over from level 1 two more times. The battle system is tops but being low level again and losing all of your stuff that you’ve been grinding the board game and the melds for just feels like rear end. But everyone I know who is a fan of the series says this is their favorite one. I don’t get it.

I beat BBS a little while ago and I know exactly what you mean. Like, the characters play a little differently and at least the stories are different...but ugh, doing minigames again sucks. I entertained going for 100% completion until I actually finished one character - the thought of doing the lovely Disney town games again was just...no.

Really anything that isn't the actual fighting in BBS sucks hard. And actually most of the boss fights are terrible too. It's a portable game, and it really shows.

Having played and loved the series when I was younger, playing the HD re-releases was a huge disappointment for me. Even two was just so clunky and poorly aged compared to modern games. Plus the enemy design is really loving bad, man. It relies so heavily on just giving enemies super armor and invincibility while letting everything under the sun stunlock you to death.

If they can make a Kingdom Hearts that controls with the fluidity of FFXV, they'll be good. The problem with the first KH game especially is that it's loving stiff as hell.

It was stiff, and it had no business doing all the platforming it did. The camera was the hardest enemy in the game.

They learned that lesson by KH2 though, it had much less of that.

Death's Gambit is getting buggier as time goes on. Items not entering my inventory after getting picked up, crashes, trophies not registering for boss kills, etc. It's a shame because I enjoy the game otherwise, its just costing me progress.

Also please castrate whoever thought fighting a plasma cannon wielding, drone deploying, sniper rifle firing cyborg in a setting where I lug around an axe would be fun. :mad:

I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?
The Messenger really should've allowed a trigger/shoulder button to be glide instead of holding the jump button. The way the game plays as is can make for clumsy play if it means a double-jump first. Also cause having nothing but face buttons to use can get really mashy at some parts of the game that can really, really suck.

Guacamelee is a game that was universally criticized for putting a bunch of stupid memes in its levels.

Guacamelee 2 not only goes out of its way to put even more memes (including Le Mexican Pedobear :razz:) in the game in a section called The Dankest Timeline but adds a characters who speak in direct quotes of forum posts complaining about how terrible the memes in the first game were.



So I guess now I never need to buy Guacamelee 2, way to go thin-skinned puppetmaster indie devs.
