Oh man. So I've finally been playing the other episodes of the Telltale Batman game, and jeez. I was already dreading Joker showing up because I'm so goddamn sick of him and the overblown importance he's always given in modern Batman stories, but I didn't expect him to show up jumping over a shark while yelling "THIS PLOT IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES".

The gently caress???

God I hate what the Joker has become.

I never found Arkham game Joker to be bad. He wasn't running around raping and stabbing random people or doing a bad Deadpool impression.

I loved when the TT Batman game was released all the people going "what the gently caress is this???" because they expected another Arkham game where Batman punches a bunch of people.

It's too bad Secret Wars 2015 hasn't been adapted as a game; it's basically a perfect setup for one. There's a million versions of each character, tons of locations, and has complete and utter freedom built into it.

I feel like if Marvel Heroes had been released later, It would take place on Battle World.

There's nothing stopping them from adding Battleworld in a later expansion.

I keep hoping, I loved the new patches gameplay upgrades, but I'm so incredibly bored with the levels. There needs to be something new on the level of Asgard. I'm sick of running IC or MM constantly.

It's a mobile game but not Marvel, so I guess it goes in this thread. Is DC Legends any good?

PVP is even more bullshit than in the old Avengers Alliance. You'll be given a whole bunch of people to choose from, but maybe one or two are beatable, most will have significantly more powerful teams than you will. Other than that it's got a good selection of characters to work towards, and yea, its basically just Galaxy of Heroes in terms of game play.

In the Catwoman trailer, Harley says "Me, you, Kate and Babs" and I can only assume she means Kate Kane meaning Batwoman is going to be a character in Injustice 2?

X-Men: Children of the Atom? It's never been rereleased since the PS1/Saturn releases, probably due to licensing. (I just checked and it's not on the PSN store, either.) I'm sure if you look around, the arcade ROM is readily available and playable on MAME.

Yea that one, and that sucks. Loved that game, but never found a PS1 copy of it, and I'm sure now it goes for stupid amounts of money.

No, "Miss" is used for an unmarried woman (as opposed to "Mrs."). "Ms." is deliberately ambiguous and may be applied to women regardless of marital status, which is why it was adopted by feminists. They felt that women deserved an identity that was not defined by their attachment to a man.

I'll have to go back to my 10th grade English teacher and tell her that she gave us all bad information.

She told us that Mrs was for married women, Miss was for women you were showing respect to, and Ms was for unmarried women. I've been using it incorrectly for decades.

I could have sworn that they made it canon that he did, but some quick googling says that while it could be implied he did, there's nothing that made it official. He has apparently raped other women though, just not Barbara.

I just really hate what the Joker has become; he's basically the killer in lovely modern horror movie these days.

One thing I really liked about Arkham Knight was how they beefed up the environmental attacks, though you had to be within melee range of the objects to activate them. From the gameplay footage we got of Spider-Man in that construction level we saw that you can trigger them from afar with webs.

Yea, that's exactly what I imagine it would have. I think the E3 footage showed Spidy sitting far away from goons and a prompt shows up to pull something down on them.

It's fine for people on console the demand their money back, but it was people who started on PC screaming I saw. The last thing I paid for was Angela.

I mean online only or even games that requires a server to play are always in danger of this, which is the lovely thing about everything being integrated online. I know that happened with Darkspore, and of course any MMO

I bought the Ms Marvel founder pack, and played a bit when it started and didn't find it that good. Then after a while they updated it and it got a lot better. Once goons stopped playing on the old voice chat server, it wasn't vent, it was something else, I stopped. I have 871 hours into it.

Lego Marvel Heroes 2 comes out this week, I hope its as good as the first one.

I guess this is closer to my dream open world sandbox superhero game. Like GTA but you're Iron Man or something. You can just scoot around looking for trouble, random stuff will pop up you can do, plus missions that you can do whenever you want.
