I'd be ok with those lavish special editions if they sent you the code to preload the game like a week before launch.

The major difference is that the MegaMan X thing ran for many years and got a ton of content before doing that. I think suicide squad will get 3 updates, then they'll announce end of online service 2 years later. At least it won't get delisted like the Square Enix published avengers

Apparently the Blade game started development after the acquisition, so it's probably at least 3 years off. That's probably why they didn't announce platforms, but it'd be funny if Disney only gave them the license if they make it multiplat.

That sold 5 million in a month, we're not sure at this time if there's 5 million xbox series x in consumers hands


console warrior rhetoric aside, yeah i'm like 90% sure that the only reason platforms aren't announced is that there's a chance development slips and it ends up on the next gen xbox thing instead (and PC)

of course it's not arkham canon, batman is right there.


seems kinda dumb and bad, but like, it's just being a funny suicide squad game. Something that won't really move many units and the response by those who did play it is that it's fine.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features an original, narrative-driven experience that picks up the story five years after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. Players who are familiar with the Batman: Arkham series will see some related narrative elements pop up in the game.

Insomniac has a major hack a short while back, hackers asked for a few millions not to doxx every employee and poo poo. No money so now there's 1.7 terrabytes of confidential data out there, including their current plans for the next eight years (I'm a dumb hypocrite and am reading a reddit post with imgur links to the slides, including the terms to their wolverine license)

I saw someone breaking down teh mechanics involved about how much that thing sucks poo poo
-it freezes enemies faster and for longer, which increases the fall and fire damage it takes
-Frozen enemies take way less melee damage, don't take critical hits and will not spawn ammo while frozen.

I was thinking that, but it did get a 10 month delay like little over 4 weeks from launch last year. I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of that season pass content is finished since the game doesn't look much different to how it was befor ethe delay.

I know I'm hardly the first person to say this, but SS:KtJL really does seem like the most obviously DOA that any AAA game release has been in a while. Hope Rocksteady survives this without too many layoffs and goes back to making single-player games.

I think Immortals of Aveum is estimated to have done 30,000 sales, so SS can at least know there's no way it'll crater that horribly. But yeah this is death.

There was a digital deluxe trailer released today and the comments on YouTube are how great the game looks or how the person wasn't sure "until the trailer came out". Lots of people seem to be preordering just because you can wear the JL suits. I think a lot of people are preordering this unfortunately.

There are some who will get the game on the 30th of January, apparently.

Oh. You can have weapon charms now.

Still looks like rear end though.

In an ideal world i could see myself playing like eight to ten hours of a multiplayer co-op Spider-man 2 thing. The combat's good enough for me to waste some time on it between big releases.

In a real world it'd be at least 50 dollars to buy and then the 60 a year to pay rent on the console so they let you play online. And with constant updates it'd eat up the dev cycle of two real games while the numbers keep going down, as these live service games do.

So, I'm glad it's canned and they didn't do any work on it (trailer looks fun but it's all precanned stuff and jpgs)

Oh, I just assume the secondary characters will be non-playable sidekicks for each hero to provide exposition, make it so your character doesn't just talk to himself the whole time, get you some extra healing, sneak ahead so you have an in-universe reason for huge GO HERE hud signs, and then in the final chapters it has like a captain america chapter with black panther as the second, and the very last one is BP with CA as the second.

I'm willing to give it a shot. All I know about NetEase is that they're another mobile game mogul who is beefing up making studios for real games and may or may not end up being one of the major players in the industry like 3 years from now. So I assume the game will be free to hop in and mess around with but will be trying to claw out your money at every chance.

The base designs all look pretty neat, so at least it's not like some recent F2P big guys that make everyone look like poo poo but you can pay 40 bucks to buy a bad render of a cool classic costume.

Going in from the leaks from yesterday I was scared it'd be like suicide squad where it's boring how everyone just shoots gun, but seeing hte gameplay the movement looks fun and hectic, and everyone uses ranged options that make sense to their characters.

Midnight Suns Ultimate Edition is on sale for 25 bucks on Playstation. Comes with all of the dlc AND all of the costumes from the MTX store, it’s a very good deal if you haven’t yet played it. The season pass itself is normally 50 dang bucks.

The base game is included on the middle tier of PS+, if that’s more your speed. Anyway, play this game!!!

I'd try to have like a pool of 25 dc villains, and then a CAC system.
Your actual team in missions is like 6 so in an ideal run you got 5 of your faves and you, but realistically you end up with loving Riddler and Deadshot still alive and the other 4 slots are procedurally generated CACs you recruited. Gotta contend that Riddler is dead weight but Master Magenta with his thighs that don't quite fit the rest of the model survived enough missions to be your strongest unit.

Ok, but I think it goes without saying in a game that side missions / mini-games aren't usually made just for shits & giggles. I'm saying we could all think of fun Peter Parker gameplay styled differently than the main story action but it just automatically starts from a worse position if the main action is interrupted for you to be forced into it before continuing.

I think of like Business Dimension minigames in Like A Dragon, or the Chocobo Kart and Yugioh campaigns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. After a big segment when the story is very clearly slowing down you start the first bit of a Peter Parker story/minigame, it either just shows you it exists or forces you to engage with it for ten minutes so you get the taste if you wanna keep going.

"Hydro-man should be laying low for a while, won't be able to do much, maybe I'll swing by The Bugle tomorrow see if Robbie has any leads of strange water behavior... Electro's Empanadas Emporium!? needs a social media manager... able to take "bomb-rear end food pictures and make them do big numbers on myspace"... that can't be right, maybe I should investigate that. No way he let's Spider-man try out his food."
