Let me know if it works, but I don't think it will. I think they made these pieces permanent so you can't keep claiming them over and over, selling them for cash or dismantling for materials. 

 

On another note, I chose Kassandra and I'm really liking her character. It's early, but she might be my new favourite assassin. I wonder how different the male character is - same personality / lines but as a male, or is he his own character? 

It didn't work.   They removed the dismantle button on those sets.  On the positive, it's a decent looking set and can be upgraded to your level.

Sure, but it's blue-rarity gear, and nothing special. I'm going to save my upgrading for the good gear. This stuff is just a little early game boost, it's fine, but having to carry it around the rest of the game is not worth it. By the time you're level 6, it's like you're walking around town and you just finished a coffee, but you can't find a garbage can anywhere to ditch the cup, so you're just stuck carrying this trash around. 

Can't you sell it?  I had a piece that I couldn't delete, but I sold later.

I've just switched from the set I think you're speaking of so I'll try that tonight.

So not based on the early 80s film starring Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, and Rutger Hauer?

That movie was awesome!

I'm pretty jacked for this actually.  The more RPG leanings, with dialog choices and male/female characters is nice!

At this point, if people are depending on trailers to get them excited for the next Marvel movie, I don't know what to say.

Trailer was fine and showed some cool stuff.

The majority of places switched over years and years ago when it was "suggested".

There's an MJ stealth sequence which I actually really dug just now. I guess only read if you beat the game:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

  Reveal hidden contents

The one at Grand Central. Telling Spidey where to go and who to take down was pretty fun.

 

 

That was my favorite one. 

I am fucking mystified at what people see in this. I was watching Angry Joe fuck around with it and it looked like just as much of a boring piece of shit as all the other battle royal games out there. 

And I'm sorry, but I'm going to fall on the negative side with the map. What a lazy ass fucking effort patching together a brown turd with worse looking versions of maps they already made. I've got no mercy for this fucking company throwing the campaign in the garbage, using this mode as some sort of half assed excuse which is a joke, especially when these fucks want ALL the money.

No. I dont care about having to press the square button 5 times to knock out a thug. Just think it's silly characters as strong as Spider-Man, Batman or Kratos are super strong one second in a cutscene or QTE, then have minuscule strength moments later.

 

It's a video game thing, I get it.  Just breaks immersion.  Like how in The Last of Us, you're in a sneaking section and your ally is loud as fuck, but the enemy AI doesn't hear them.

You're all wrong.  He does indeed pull his punches, but he hits regular guys 5 or 6 times because he enjoys slapping around shitty people. 

I also find it fascinating that several posters are so adept at knowing when people are "sensitive" through text on a screen.

You'll know I'm sensitive when you see all caps!

I remember in the E3 vid with the dev commentary, the devs said that Marvel made a big deal that if Spidey knocks a bad guy off a ledge he automatically webs them so they don’t fall to their deaths... I guess the feature didn’t make it into the final build.  

It did and he does. Not quite in the manner that was shown in the demo though where he's making an immediate, concerted effort to do so. I was thinking the same thing, that he was knocking them off. Then I watch one fly off towards another building, see a bunch of Web explode and pin the guy to the side of the building. Lol.  Don't ask me how they're getting him down. 

Started it last night.

I get the feeling with the combat that this is going to be a bit like God of War in the respect that it starts off basic, but you keep unlocking and adding more and more moves as you go.

Really fun so far, but I'm clumsy as shit so far.  I'll be putting some serious time in tonight.

God of War is a masterpiece, not a perfect game, but so thoroughly enjoyable that that's what I'm calling it. I'm playing new game + right now and it's reaffirming that fact. 

I certainly don't need to see two people who think they're maybe smarter than everyone else, either telling me something I already know, or being wrong. 

And certainly not something that's 3 hours fucking long. 

Me likey. Can't wait. 

I don't play basketball games at all, but that looks pretty good.

Some minor things, but not bad.

I only played Arkham City but I loved that one.  Knight is both a step forward and back.  All the things from City are there and somewhat improved upon.  The addition of the Batmobile would have been great if there wasn't just so damn much of it.  I don't mind the tank battles so it doesn't bother me as much as some but I could see given the amount how some were displeased.  

 

The opening scene did really grip me though.  Like the music and the story seems good.  If you liked City, I see no reason why you wouldn't like Knight.  Plus, its puuurdy!

Nailed it.  Everything was really enjoyable, but the tank car stuff was a bit overdone.

I too am chomping at the bit for a new game.  Spider-Man can't get here soon enough.

In the mean time, God of War new game + dropped, so i'm playing that again.  They added like 7 or 8 new armor sets!

Spider-Man 

AC Odyssey 

Red Dead Redemption II 

The one that pops into my brain is probably Gran Turismo 2.  After the first game, Gran Turismo 2 was like Aliens to Gran Turismo's Alien. Bigger and more of a fantastic thing. 

I remember going back, maybe after Gran Turismo 5 or something and put number two in and holy fuck! It literally looked like a rolling wave of pixels. I almost threw up just looking at it. 

Doesn't ruin my memories of playing the game, but it was hard to look at.

Whenever you read it, would like to know what you think. Hopefully I'm not over hyping it but I loved it. Hope the whole series is great with a fantastic ending.

Well, @Hurdyb1, I don't think you were overhyping this issue too much as I thought it was great! 

- Art was fantastic! 

- First big "moment" was a bit of low hanging fruit, but the second one was definitely more surprising. 

- Ending reveal was pretty damn good! 

All in all, a very good start to this 5 issue story. 

Not saying a lot, but it looks better than season 1.

And if he can spark up his fist more than once a day and they can stop writing him like a moron, he might have a chance.

Well, I'm not winning anything in this little event, but I will be working on things, soooooo.....

Doom 2016

Rise of the Tomb Raider 

Far Cry 5

These are a few I've been thinking about lately.

Well, I think this is where they final deal with the time trapped young X-Men, yes?  It was a fantastic idea when Bendis first did it, but man, gone on way too long.

For all the recent weekly releases Marvel has been doing with books that probably don't deserve it, Extermination needs to be released weekly. Okay 2 weeks is not bad but damn, I have not been in a emotionally charged roller coaster of a comic book in awhile.

Good to know!  Looking forward to reading it.

Sounds like the company has a serious cancer problem. I'll tell you right now that if the upper management and leaders at this company didn't support this shit, it wouldn't fucking happen and every last one of these motherfuckers would be out of a job.
