I always did think of it as karmic, but I used the other $40 and bought a Wii Classic Controller and Majora's Mask so I think I won out in the end.

There was zero mention of it being an RTS in anything. There was a demo that made it out to be a heavy metal Zelda-like. It's that generation's MGS2 Raiden switcheroo, but with genres instead of protagonists.

They did in fact show off the RTS before release but showed it off as a 'multiplayer demo'. Even at E3 where they had an exclusive demo that went beyond the demo they released it was entirely open-world Zelda gameplay.

Back then I probably figured it was just a multiplayer thing. Plus back then they were shoehorning online multiplayer modes to everything so I ignored that.

It was pretty blatant bait and switch marketing which is all sorts of bewildering because the concept they had is the one everyone wanted.

To be fair, the game was still fun to play and they did at least put a modicum of effort into the section of the game where it transitions genres.

Brutal Legend Multiplayer was really good and also there WAS exploration in the base game. It just wasn't the whole thing. I actually was super-surprised and delighted when it turned into a weird 3rd person action-RTS hybrid. Anyway if anyone else reads that Jack Black script I would love to hear their reactions.

MisterBibs posted:It's always kinda bugged me that this scene has never been recreated, but ending with Batman learning that it doesn't work anymore on anyone but novices. Yeah, Batman was a real idiot for not realising that things that used to be iconic are now stupid and irrelevant and nobody gives a poo poo about it. Congratulations MisterBibs. You're Batman. I really want to see a Guy Gardner Green Lantern film. Only because there needs to be more movie superhero's who are actually heroic and relatable, whilst at the same time being complete pricks.

People always joke about how useless Aquaman was in that show, but they were all useless. They all spent most of an episode not remembering what their power even was because that's about the level of writing for children's television back then.

And Lemmy berating you for various things was pretty great. I wish my laptop would run it properly so u could actually finish the loving thing. Guess I'll wait for it to hit Xbox backward compatibility and buy it there.

I don't know if anyone pointed it out yet, but at 0:49 in the trailer the announcer is saying (in German) that Lex Luthor has escaped from Arkham Asylum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_6yBZKj-eo

I mean, putting Luthor in Arkham seems exactly like something that would backfire completely. Even if they don't have him and the Joker become one-sided best friends forever.

Shiny no longer exists, and a lot of the people that used to work for them went to work elsewhere. "Same Company" wasn't entirely accurate, but the effort posting for the people that went from one company to the other and the roles they played would belong in the Brutal Legend thread in Games and it's too much  There were a lot of forum posts about it outside of SA though.

New Justice League Synopsis Centers on Wonder Womanquote:The official synopsis of Justice League focuses on Batman's renewed faith in humanity. A change in marketing strategy or a different synopsis aimed at a different audience? The Mera figure is part of Mattel's Barbie line which is, presumably, aimed at young girls.

Of course they're going to simplify and re word poo poo for a younger audience - especially on a children's toy line. I honestly don't understand how that would be worth a story or article.

I only posted the link because there seems to be a narrative that WW is the saviour of the DCEU and now everything will revolve around her. Personally, I don't really buy into that and I was wondering what others thought. They could work with Wonder Woman as the more 'traditional' hero of the bunch, especially since she's kiiinda in the Captain America role as the hero with a head start on things. Let Superman get philosophical and Batman get weird.
