Yeah, the SNES and Genesis had very different games for The Adventures of Batman & Robin, I only played the Genesis one and it's pretty fun (and difficult), also one of the all time best game OSTs of all time, made by then relatively unknown Jesper Kyd.

They marketed Suicide Squad as Conroy’s final performance as Batman. However, it was recently announced that he had reprised his role as Batman from TAS in one of the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths movies. I dunno which one he recorded lines for first, so it might be true that Suicide Squad was his final Batman performance. But I guess if you were disappointed by what they did with Batman in the Suicide Squad game, you got something to look forward to.

The kicker is at they put a memoriam to Kevin Conroy in the end credits of Suicide Squad, and it just feels crass after how the game treats his character, imo.

I don't really care that they went with an Injustice style story in the new game but it seems like the missions and UI info explosion are pretty bad in it which is disappointing because I love all the Rocksteady Batman games and Origins. From what I've read Kevin was happy to get to play evil Batman so I can't be too upset about it I guess. I might still pick it up at 15-20 bucks since the gameplay itself seems mostly fine. Just wish we could have another "normal" style Arkham game or another DC superhero game instead of more Batman.

I dunno, with the exception of some of the traversal, the actual gameplay looks just awful to me. Especially coming off of how weighty and satisfying the Arkham games felt.

It definitely looks worse to me than the previous games. Not really sure what to think overall to be honest, I go back and forth on thinking parts look good or not.

My issue with Suicide Squad is that they play mostly the same. What if Capt. Boomerang only used boomerangs? Or if Harley could call in her hyenas? Give Deadshot a full screen aimbot on cooldown so you can actually be the guy that never misses. Make King Shark play like that old Hulk game where he could smash cars onto his fists to do more damage. Not just dudes with guns, special guns, and a bigger gun.

I'll take my payment in cash, Rocksteady.

Was Godsworn in a previous NextFest? It's been on my Wishlist forever and I feel like I've played it before, the style looks so familiar but maybe it's just because I've seen lots of media for it over the months...

Huge thanks to the weirdos ITT who post go through the effort of oposting Nextfest game summaries with gifs/media.

With Steam being as large as it is, I have this weird anxiety im missing incoming games that can potentially be my GOTY or another title I spend hundreds of hours on. These little summaries are extremely nice on knowing what to keep my eye on (good games) and what to ignore (deckbuilders and other bad games)

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Pacific Drive was awesome and totally my jam right up until I needed to craft the door and got totally irritated at the poorly explained crafting system and menu. I decided to save take a break but looks like I can't do that! Uninstalled.

I never played the original Outcast, but the demo for the sequel was kind of fun, albeit time limited. Jetpacking around was a lark and you could make some pretty dumb weapons.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

i don't really understand what some people love about balatro - i tried the demo and it was ok but didn't really seem to have a lot in the way of interesting decision making? very just number goes up

the crypt custodian demo is just a very ok zelda-like. it doesn't do anything particularly badly, though the dodge roll goes slightly too far and is on slightly too much of a cooldown to feel perfect, but it doesn't really do anything particularly well either.

I stopped my first session with the game thinking this way, like it seemed neat but I didn't really get it. I think the next time I played I started getting more of the Tarot cards and playing around with the different mechanics and found a lot of fun things you can do and it sorta hooked me then.

Do you happen to recall if it's the same demo as before? I'm guessing it is. If so I'll save myself the time of re-playing it :v:

I saw someone ITT post like, "if you like Slay the Spire check this out" and the 30 second trailer on the steam page made me extremely :confused: as to where the comparison to StS comes in, and it also made me extremely disinterested in it . I have zero interest in poker or anything poker adjacent.

As someone who doesn't give a single poo poo about poker I loved my time with the Balatro demo and I think that both from a build aspect and a presentation aspect the game is great at the one more run feel. It's just satisfying to play.

The original Outcast is one of the best games ever made. Play the 1.1 version, not the remake (it sucks, they hosed up the movement feel and there's weird bugs):

I liked the Balatro demo and then kept playing it and the stuff they do with the "bosses" just sucks the fun out of it for me so I have flip-flopped.

Anyway, I will say that the Balatro demo did feel a little less expansive than the big playtest they had a while ago (for instance, a run in the full game has more Antes, so more time to build up an interesting deck, more joker types, more Boss Blinds), so complaints about build/encounter variety are mostly subject to it being, well, a demo. Can't really help if the gameplay/structure overall doesn't click for you, unfortunately.

I think it's a cleaned up and polished version, but I installed it just to see if you could play as the Crusaders and no dice. So I think the content is much the same.
