I came to accept that it's either a you love it or hate it game. Fortunately for me, I loved everything about it. Beat the game 7 or so times, including New York Minute Hardcore.

This playdate is amazing. They're getting, like, all the Far Cry 2 right up front
probably because this conversation has been my entire life I don't notice it anymore. I pity none of you just now going through this. welcome to my hell.

The answer will always be Superman.
Not alot of writers have an aptitude of writing a God-character well enough.

Comic book fans are insufferable. Batman and Superman are both pretty cool and also not real.

I'm too lazy to quote all the Batman/Superman stuff, so have this.
The DC animated universe is the only version of DC stuff that I consistently enjoy. I really like how they made Batman a more compassionate character to combat the standard edgelord interpretation of the character being "just as crazy as his villians" because he's dedicated his life to stopping crime. Going back and watching Batman: The Animated Series, it's remarkable how often Batman expresses concern for the well-being of the people he's apprehending, many of whom are clearly mentally ill and need serious help. He also does a lot of detective work and shit, so that's neat. The character is way more than rich cool guy who mercilessly pummels evil, at least that version of the character.
I don't really care about Superman, so nothing much to say about that.

I have to admit that Frank Miller's portrayal of Superman as being someone so stupid that he didn't realize he could fly and would instead run across the ocean back and forth between North America and Europe was pretty funny.
I never thought Superman was very cool until I read Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" THAT Superman was cool.

The DCAU was better written than 99% of all comic books.

Red Sun Superman is my favorite depiction
If only because his naivety in trying to subjugate the world is his downfall.

Superman is just a tough character to make interesting without resorting to the easy "hey, he lost his powers AGAIN!" twist. A Superman video game would only be fun if they just went all out and made it an insane balls to the wall power fantasy.

I don't know much about comics but I do think Superman looks pretty cool when he's drawn middle aged like this:

Batman and Superman are approaching 80 years of history. Don't know what to say if you can't find part of their extensive works appealing. I believe that's true for many long lasting characters. Speaking broadly, Superman is a really good guy with incredible powers, which he (almost) never abuses for personal gain. That doesn't appeal to everybody. Many great writers opt to write stories about Superman's impact and legacy over Superman himself.
...I was about to add that One Punch Man works as a Superman story, in a sense.

So I got invisible inc cus Austin talked it up so much. And damn, that game is amazing. The quick look does not do it justice.
I beat it on beginner in like two sittings with zero problems so when the game suggested I try medium next I was like nah I'll go to the advanced setting which the game says is the default balance. Both my agents died on the first mission. Whoops.

Guys... I'm 36 days away from my first ever Iron Maiden show and they just finished their first show of the new tour so I now know the setlist and I'm fucking hyped. It's not a perfect setlist but still very good.

I wish that, especially considering what happened with Trine 3, the only business model they tried was "make a complete game and release it"
LurkerPrime
Member
Yeah, I'm not even looking at their stuff until I see positive impressions.
Trine 3 was in Early Access until they ran out of money, and then, coincidentally, it was finished. One of the very worst kinds of Early Access abuse.

It's the shittiest. I loved the first two games, and seeing that write-up where they basically owned up to their failure was a real bummer.
Announced in February, released in August, and video apologizing for the game's abject failure uploaded a week after.
Early Access: Not Even Once.

Am I picking up what happened on the playdate? Did they
in Far Cry 2?
I think I'll reinstall and see if I can run it at 4k.

Yes and no.
But Austin performs a far greater sin. Morality is shades of gray, but this was a pure stripe of black and white.
It's frustrating because there's so many good examples of Early Access. Larian's Divinity: Original Sin would be a completely different game, and probably phenomenon, without it. Project Zomboid simply wouldn't exist.
It's ruining something that can be wholly beneficial because of short-sightedness and/or poor planning.

holy shit this shadwen game has a superhot/braid-esque time mechanic that the tutorial doesn't even as much as hint at
time moves when you do, but you can also rewind or force time to progress without moving by crouching

either way you look at it they're both maps full of nothing cool to do
it's like the crash demo levels from jeff's perspective, one option entails considerably less suffering so

Giant Bomb has its quiet times and then they dump a Demo Derby and a Play Date in the same day. Makes me binge GB content and then I feel bad afterwards for wasting an entire day
That's from Kingdom Come... Actually a really good comic book to read if you're not very into comics (I know a lot of libraries and bookstores carry this pretty popular title. Gorgeous art style.)
not entirely unlike wasting a day with a hang over

Anyone who cares about Far Cry 2 should listen to this interview with Clint Hocking (though it covers a lot more than just FC2): https://www.idlethumbs.net/tonecontrol/episodes/clint-hocking
Actually I think it would be pretty interesting to listen to even if you don't care about the game.
Cyborg isn't a negative word. It's like the most positive word.

yeah I'd burn BEAST at the fucking stake to get more OG Show
on a related note, we don't really hear Austin talk about old games too much

i mean, they're from different coasts and all so they're not interfering in any way
but i will fight you regardless
and sacrifice beast for the return of vinnyvania in the process
I used to think that, but honestly, my favourite parts about Kingdom Come are a) the Art, b) Diana getting banished and going steadily more militant, c) Old Bruce kicking Lex Luthor's ass via an overly complicated gambit that makes no sense, and d) everyone hanging out in a burger bar afterwards.

I'm too invested in Kerbal now to let it die to TOGS.
Besides, TOGS is already dead, so it's too late! My gambit worked!
5/5 Shoemaker or 2/5 Gerstbreaker. There are no other options.
Oh wow. I keep forgetting that it released unfinished.
Early Access needs to be a thing forced on games that try to dodge it, at least on Steam. Like any game with "content schedules" (SFV) or downright unfinished releases (Galak-Z).
Y'know, there was a brief period where I was excited by the thought Galak-Z, a mech action game, until I realised it was just a sort of twitch roguelike with no real progression. (I need progression in my mech games.)

I never bought MK X. Something about the roster didn't appeal to me despite loving MK9. I really hated everything I saw of hte Kombat Kids and more importantly, I feel like it was dumb to have characters that played like a blend of two other characters AND have those two other characters in it.
That complete edition with all the DLC is coming out soon though and I was thinking about buying that. Even though I'm mostly thinking KI for PC is gonna be my go-to fighting time for a while
