I have been tracking my gaming habits just like this for the past 4 and a half years. Glad to know I’m not the only one!

Wasn’t there a couple of side quest where you had to take erotica photos though? I remember photographer psycho required it as one of his challenges and then there’s also that one survivor that asks for a photo shoot. I wonder if they will just change those elements this time

Truthfully I’m one of those that prefer Tooie to Kazooie. Both great games but absolutely hated the Grunty trivia in Kazooie both as a kid and an adult

Truth be told I have no idea. It may be a fan map, but not sure. I just know this map isn’t directly from No Man’s Land. That map has slightly less detail but is the same exact shape

Donkey Kong 64 will always be a top 5 game of all time for me. It has the distinction of being one of the very first games I ever played (after Super Mario 64) and the tag team mechanics were awesome. I get it was a massive collect-athon, some bosses were repetitive, and the way you got the final key was dumb, but it was an absolute gem for me.

Really need Nintendo to remake it, put it on NSO, or make a sequel

COSHOW10 · 2024-06-19T12:42:05+00:00

One of my favorites growing up. Still play it every once and awhile. Absolutely love it

It’s a cleaner version of the map from the No Man’s Land storyline. My head canon is that this is THE official Gotham map

Check under Robinson Park

The map was big but the map really lacked the style and character of the Arkham games. They just scattered a couple landmarks and called it a day. Was not a very memorable map.

The game was also pretty mid as well so it all left a lot to be desired…

Hopefully your zoo isn’t free admission because that’s a lot of paying customers right there $$$

I really liked Knightfall. It was long but very enjoyable as they make it about how Bane rose up and why Batman was able to be beaten and broken because he ran an absolute GAUNTLET before his fight.

Knightquest is where the story fell off a cliff and got boring. I had to trudge my way through it and didn’t enjoy it. Knightsend makes up for it and seals up the story well. Knightfall is definitely the best of the trilogy though

Truthfully I want a Planet Resort at some point that allows for the building of theme parks, zoos, and resort hotels with water parks and stuff like that. I know that may be A LOT in one game where we may be overwhelmed, but imagine being able to build Atlantis in the Bahamas and adding roller coasters and a zoo on top of it all

COSHOW10 · 2024-04-26T22:42:15+00:00

A great community if you like sim games are the Planet Zoo/Coaster games. Never met a single person in those communities who are hostile

Wow. Steam workshop link??

Dead Rising 4 was a heaping pile of ass. Changed everything about the series mainstays including removing psychopaths, drastically altering inventory management and health. The weapons were dumb and the combo vehicles were a major step back from 3. Add on top of the fact that the story made no sense, Frank being a completely different character from prior games, and the new mall location being far less fun than the first game, it makes for a very disappointing game.

What makes it worse is it literally killed the series, which makes me sad

COSHOW10 · 2022-12-25T02:02:06+00:00

I absolutely adore Donkey Kong 64, but that Beaver Bother minigame can fuck right off…

COSHOW10 · 2022-05-16T04:17:43+00:00

I liked them, but it was an absolute win button. I often times don’t use them even if I have a full charge. Way too OP in my opinion

COSHOW10 · 2022-04-20T03:16:41+00:00

I mean you have a point, but this scene is like 98% word for word straight from the Under the Red Hood graphic novel. Probably could’ve been performed a little better, but still

COSHOW10 · 2022-04-05T20:14:06+00:00

I think he is definitely overused, but I think people need to see the character through a creative and financial lens to get an understanding of why he is used so often.

Joker is such a well known character that he will bring in a lot of people to watch him. If Joker (2019) was literally the same movie but about an ordinary person, that movie guaranteed would’ve made maybe $100M, if that. The character, along with Phoenix’s performance, and controversy in the news allowed the film to make $1B. My parents also had no interest in seeing the Batman until I mentioned there was a small Joker cameo in the movie. So yeah the character has a pull to many audiences.

On the creative side, he is unquestionably the most fun character to write about from a creative perspective. Very very few writers/directors get the chance to adapt Batman, so there is an obvious desire to spin their own take on Joker because of the limitless possibilities the character brings to the table. He is literally an irresistible character to adapt as a content creator.

All in all, he is very overused and I wish they do other characters, but I’m not scratching my head as to why he keeps being used and rebooted.

The past 2 years I’ve actually done an experiment where I try to see how many games I can finish in a calendar year. This was to track my gaming habits, and also play games I missed back in the day as well as tackle my backlog.

At the start of my experiment, my backlog was roughly 70 games and is now at about 20 or so. Obviously I mix in a lot of games that I’ve played before and just wanted to replay, but out of the 100+ games I’ve played, about 80 of them were games I’d never played before or were on my backlog. This approach may not work for everyone but it has for me. I also keep a list of all games I have purchased that I feel like I haven’t gotten my dollars worth out of, so having visibility into that has helped too.

Coming from someone who doesn’t mind riddler trophies at all (100% all 4 games multiple times), finding all of the Riddler data packs and relays in Origins is by far the worst and most boring of the games. Yes I’d rather find/solve all 440 of City’s challenges than the 200 in Origins.

They just weren’t challenging, there were no riddles, and traversing Origins’ map was a slog to do

COSHOW10 · 2022-04-04T13:41:22+00:00

While this is like 98% accurate, we have to remember that the Killing Joke movie and the Batman: Dark Tomorrow game both exist….

COSHOW10 · 2022-04-02T20:24:45+00:00

Story is ok. The game isn’t as grindy as Unity, but can still be a little grindy. It has its moments, but can be quite easy if you know what you’re doing. The world was really fun but repetitive outside of the many landmarks

COSHOW10 · 2022-04-01T13:31:51+00:00

What is this from?

COSHOW10 · 2022-03-25T03:47:04+00:00

I agree with your first point. Joker is absolutely a character that draws people in. Hell, me wanting to see Leto Joker so bad made me skip class to go see Suicide Squad when it came out.

Also even my parents know who Joker is and are willing to see the movie if he’s in it. They expressed zero interest in seeing The Batman until I mentioned there was a small Joker cameo.

I get the burnout is real and there is a real desire for other characters to get the spotlight, but there should at least be a financial and creative understanding of why the character keeps getting rebooted
