Yakuza basically stole the "least convincingly nonlethal combat" trophy from Arkham Asylum and proudly held it aloft while high-angle German Suplexing a teenager into a concrete planter box.

It doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere in the game but metroid prime remake added a morph ball jump button so you don’t have to wait through bomb jumps.

It'd be sick if the upcoming Spider-Man game had alt-story DLC on some more goofy stories. Like Spiders-Man (the colony of spiders that think they're Peter Parker Spider-Man) or a Punisher Spider-Man that that just lets people fall off buildings and has guns as gadgets.

Yup, just press X in morph ball. I assume it doesn’t enable until you have morph ball bombs.

I’m through most of the remake and already hungry for a prime 2 remake. this is so good. It’s pretty high praise to the original game that they could get away with changing almost nothing but the visuals and controls and it still completely holds up, because it’s what, 20 years old at this point?

Well you know how the saying goes 'Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash!'

People tend to pick themselves off the ground even after he hits them with a motorcycle so it can't be all bad.

Got the ball and bombs last night, can confirm spring ball immediately unlocks when you get bombs. Was worried I would need space jump or something silly first.

Batman got the trophy back in Arkham Knight, where you can smash pedestrians out of the way with the batmobile at highway speeds and it’s still nonlethal

Are there pedestrians in Arkham Knight? I thought both City and Knight had story reasons for why it was basically The Purge out in Gotham and all the innocents were mostly not around.

Pretty much all the civilians evacuated because Scarecrow threatened to gas the city. Only people left are criminals, cops and a few unlucky people who didn't get out in time. And later a PMC.

So you can only "knock out" bad guys with your tank and there's no one else on the streets.

The Batmobile exterior is electrified, so when you slam into people at 100mph it merely safely renders them unconscious on impact and then sends them peacefully flying through the air. If they happen to die from smacking into a wall or lamp-post after that it's hardly Batman's fault.

I forgot to go back and check, I was pretty sure that was new but it'd been long enough since the original that I wasn't 100% certain. There were definitely parts in the morph ball areas you could just jump through that seemed like they were intended to be trickier timed bomb jumps, so I'm not surprised. Works for me, those feel like the least fun part of getting around to me.

The batmobile is actually surrounded by an inflatable balloon, like a bouncy castle on wheels, that's coated with knockout juice.

I'd say it was your manifest destiny not to.

In Yakuza: Like a dragon, after the first few chapters something happens (it is deeply silly) and after that enemies turn into alternate versions of themselves and it's explained away as Kasuga's wild imagination but frankly I think he's right and everyone is just fighting humans transformed into monstrous versions of themselves when not in a cut scene.

It's some Sailor Moon poo poo where instead of using magic and the power of love to transform your enemies back into humans they use the power of incredible violence.


Yes I have been thinking too much about this.

Stealth games with a little last-second window before you're detected are great. MGSV has tons of fun ways to interrupt people right after they see you. Oh, you're gonna try to radio me in? How about an unconscious body in the face :madmax:

I learned that you have to the very end of the guard yelling "CONTACT!" to disable them without being detected. So you can just spear tackle them right in the middle of them saying the second syllable.

The developers saw the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie and thought that was a great idea for a security system.
