Arkham City looks so fucking good.

It is so fucking good.

That there's "too much" isn't really a problem. It's that they throw all of it at you at once. For example, one of the side-quests involves ringing phones. If you don't answer a phone fast enough, then the dude hangs up and you just have to wait for the next one. There are also Riddler challenges which are usually about timing (they're kind of like platform challenges; I really love the way they did them). So you can be in the middle of a doing a Riddler challenge when all of a sudden a helicopter rolls up and shines a big-ass spot light on you and then dudes come to try and fight you and then you hear a phone start ringing while these jackasses are taking swings at your head and the Riddler puzzle is about to time out.

Once you prioritize, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. You can hold down a button to mark Riddle puzzles on your map, so you don't even have to rush them. You can grapnel away from enemies so you don't really have to fight them, but if you get too caught up in the moment, it can definitely seem overwhelming.

But yeah. Fuckin good game so far.

like the way enslaved is looking. the main character is the equivilant of stone monkey, complete with the staff and flying cloud. the demo has clunky controls and annoying camera but overall is promising.

[Kaden]

Enslaved is a good play. Only takes about 6 six hours, though, and you can definitely 100% the game in a single play-through.

As a smoker, this annoys me a lot. I'm the one that smokes, not you. You were there first, so you shouldn't be forced to move because I light up. It amazes me how inconsiderate a lot of smokers are. -_-

Of course, you could be Ashe, and no matter how considerate I try to be the shit just follows you. No joke, we could be in 50mph winds, with me smoking upwind of him and some how the fucking smoke would still find it's way too him, no matter how I try to avoid it. -_-

Edit: Also, if I was there first, well tough luck. (Though I'll usually still move.) Unless of course I'm doing something like standing right outside the door that you need to come out of or go in. Then, that's on me again.

Its true. I can walk a damn circle around him (I pace a lot while talking - which I also do a lot) and it will slowly just move along the circle like the fire things in Mario Bros.

That said, Jarka, sounds to me like the second girl saw you get up and move and decided specifically to go fuck with you.

Love: Lost Odyssey. Fantastic story and even better characterisations. I haven't teared up at an ending so much since I beat Secret of Mana when I was 12.

This is kinda multiple things in one, but for anyone who is possibly interested in anything Blizzard related...

*sigh*

That is really depressing, because a part of me wants that flying mount D:

[Ashe]

Its only worth signing up for if you are already playing WoW, to be honest. Basically, if you are already going to be playing it for a year, you'll get some random flying mount added to all your characters, a beta invite to Mists of Pokemon / Kung Fu Panda, and a free copy of Diablo III. If you are doing it for the mount or as a "preorder" of D3 though, totally not worth it.

I'm kinda disappointed in the route Blizzard are heading in in general.

I absolutely agree. Its unfortunate, because it sounds like a cop out, but both Blizzard and Wizards of the Coast have made massive sweeping (and widely viewed as damaging) changes since their acquisitions by Activision and Hasbro.

[Vad]

Wow Activision and Hasbro. I feel so bad for Blizzard.

[Ashe]

Wow Activision and Hasbro. I feel so bad for Blizzard.

Activision-Blizzard, Hasbro-Wizards of the Coast. Two separate acquisitions, Joe.

Oh! Oops. That's right, Wizards does Magic.

EDIT: Wait. Does that mean I can expect less cleavage on my cards?

This was a while back, before Mythics and Double Sideded cards, loss of Player Rewards, Top 8 Pins, Prerelease drafts, etc.

I really like the real-money market idea.

[Rafael]

real money is good for people like me, because if it's legit it'll be cheaper and I bought tons of gold in WoW anyway >.>

[Anzekay]

I am pretty happy with a significant portion of what Blizzard is up to at the moment. It's merely the details and one or two major points I am a little disapointed in.
