I just hate the “twist” with Black Mask… The fucking Joker is so overused, I’m sick of him.

I’m not sick of the Joker. Every iteration of him is drastically different from the last. That said I didn’t like the twist.
Bane on the other hand, is awesome in Origins.

After the huge negative reception to Suicide Squad, they’re definitely going to go back to single player for their next game. It’ll probably be Batman related as a safer option to win fans back, either a remake of Asylum or a new game. I’d love to see Batman: Arkham Beyond with them getting Paul Dini back to help write it.
That said I’d also love for them to do an Arkham Flash, Green Lantern or Superman game so that those heroes can get their own solo games that knock it out of the park the way Arkham Asylum did it for Batman. They all had great designs and voice acting in Suicide Squad, but most of the time they’re being controlled by Brainiac.

And they had to pull that shit with such an underutilised character as well. Then they brought in the actual Black Mask for a hot minute before Jason offs him for anti-hero cred.

I’m restarting for the fourth time Detroit: Become Human. I always stopped it because I was playing other games. This time I want to finish it

I think last year I caught the Fortnite OG Season event by coincidence too.
Anyway, since I was sick and at home yesterday, I felt okay enough to at least sit back and watch/experience this year’s Chp. 2 Remix Finale event. Basically more of a concert, but they usually do great jobs on these. Took some pictures of my POV.
Keep in mind, it still blows my mind that they get these digital showcases streamed to millions of people all around the world at the same time. Wild.
(Nice throwback to the original Chp. 2 event that I missed way back when…)
(You’re separated from other players for a minute, and Ice Spice does… this dance in front of you… this feels wrong…?)
I think I’m a fan of Juice WRLD after this sequence. He’s got some really nice chill songs.
I hreatly enjoyed this one. Definitely a lot of time and budget went into it… which I guess explains why I felt the Prelude thing to start this short season felt like such a cop-out. (It was basically an in-game livestream with effects around the screen.)
And… now for something completely different…

What could get me to play Arkham Knight again when I just played through it all 2 weeks ago? The ability to play it on PC with mods of course! It also feels nice to finally play Knight at more than 30 fps, and the smoother framerate seems to make things like flying the Remote Batarang and doing the Blade Dodge Takedown much easier than it was on console. Plus, it isn’t randomly crashing like it does on PS5!
I’ve been playing with the Lego Batman mod, the daytime mod, and the Jokermobile mod (really dumb Rocksteady never let you use it as a skin in the game)
While Lego Batman can look really good in some scenes, the camera and animations get messed up quite a bit cause he’s much shorter. When rotating sticks for passwords I can’t see the screen at all so I just have to go on sound and vibration to get it right. Also thugs get stuck in the ground when you use the Silent Takedown on them. But the drawbacks are outweighed by the fun of playing as him! Though I am surprised that Lego didn’t cease and desist the mod considering how protective they are.

Funny because I have been playing LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

I really enjoyed Sea of Stars. The story isn’t the greatest, but the characters are charming and exploring the world is fun. Plus, it’s got epic 90s JRPG vibes, with some great pixel art. (Seriously, I need Chrono Trigger on a modern console. 
)
And I’m closing in on Completionist++ in Balatro…so naturally I decided now is a good time to buy the game on Switch so I can do it all again. 
But between that and Slay the Spire, I figure I’ve got everything I need for those rare occasions I want to game away from home.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a phenomenal bookend closing out 2024 major releases, and is probably one of the best Indiana adventures since Fate of Atlantis.
The game focuses on what made the original trilogy of adventures so endearing and fun. Troy Baker does a really good job capturing the character.
Only downside of the game is the combat where it’s a bit repetitive if you choose to engage with Facists of varying factions.
The biggest take away is despite Todd Howard’s involvement with the game, it has a lot of soul and it’s evident Machine Games put alot of love and care into the creation of this game.
I recommend it, just don’t expect Uncharted.

Glad to hear it’s getting positive reviews! I enjoyed the Wolfenstein games so think this will be a lot of fun. I will be purchasing, but waiting for the Steam winter sale to see if it’ll get a small discount.

I just grabbed Dying Light on a $4 Steam sale, haven’t played the game since it was first released so I’m looking to it. I feel like I miss the comfy vulnerability that you had early on in the story, just finding a safe place to rest for the night actually felt like something of an accomplishment. I was looking at gameplay videos of Dying Light 2 last night for comparison, and it doesn’t seem like it captures the same feel at all.
Oh and I also grabbed Buckshot Roulette, I watched yms play it on twitch one night and it seemed like a ton of fun.

I´m happy to hear the game has lived up to its potential, and can´t wait till I have a chance to play it at some point, but I can´t help but feel that building it around mandatory ray tracing was a bit of a dick move (at least where PC is concerned anyway).

Sadly same thing happened with STALKER 2. It uses lumen for lighting.

I mean it’s a give and take, the downside is mandatory ray tracing, but the upside is the game has no mandatory DRM and is well polished to the point of the game running really well.
