Wow, they made arkham origins, the...well maybe not worst. But sure as fuck not the best of the arkham games. And an arkham style superman game? That sounds great!! You could start with infinite power and then run around leveling up to have morer infiniter power!

DC's plan is, apparently, that ONE of these shitty avengers knockoffs will somehow work, damn it!

The first warning sign this was going to be massively overstuff was the title. Batman VS superman - besides being a god awful idea (Spoiler: the one who should win, sans plot contrivance, is the one who is in the top small-n most powercharacters in pretty much any fictional medium (and if we get...

I mean the literally went out of their way to desturate every frame of the film because they wanted it darker and grimmer. Superman and zod smash a city to powder and everyone is angry all the time. It's pretty grim, and kinda dark. Also bad, but that is a seperate issue.

The HTTYD producer is not the director of the 2000 D&D film; this appears to have multiple producers.

Note that the guy who directed the horrorfying abomination that was the 2000 film is one of the producers. Hopefully only in a "shut the fuck up and sit in a fucking corner" kind of way, due to him owning the rights for a while, but still. This will almost surely suck.

By getting rid of regional pricing, they're not talking about making the EU region one region instead of N, they're talking about preventing game makers gouging the EU compared to the US. If a game is 30 USD, it should be (subject to local taxes) 30 USD everywhere. Regularly in australia a...

I mean how is anyone surprised about this? Comic spiderman will be in highschool Movie spiderman will be in highschool WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

It sure doesn't. The opening movie has some jerkiness issues for me; the first fight I had, some 10 minutes into the game, is nigh unplayable due to the framerate issues.

You know supergirl has been a character for about six decades, right?

My gods, that character almost looks like superman. I am so confused. I mean, the film would still be god-awful, but at least it wouldn't be crazy depressing as well.

DC's approach? Giving the franchise to a complete hack who (a) has never made a good film, and (b) has public stated that he hates the character of superman? How is that a good strategy? They've publicly announced they don't like fun. Yes, there are many ways to do superheroes, and no...

mogg fanatic isn't on this list??? Granted, the tripping the mogg fantastic isn't as good as it used to be, but you're clearly judging these in context, otherwise firedrinker is strictly better than jackal pup. And I'm not convinced spark elemental should make the list. but: Vexing devil...

The biggest problem with the imitation game was that it made turing an almost non-function aspbergs/autistic person, rather than reflecting reality (in that he may have been on the spectrum, but he was on the 'can function talking to people and making jokes end'. On the gay rights end: I...

In a large number of games, turn 10 bear is better than turn 10 skip my turn, scry a few times. If the game is a race, the bear is better - I can't take the turn off to do nothing, and the bear can change the race. If the board is empty, scheming can cost you the game unless your opponent...
