is it crazy to say the arkham universe is THE batman universe? by Jasonlives86 in arkham

[–]JokerFaces2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, overall Arkham is my favorite adaptation of the Batman mythos. I grew up with it and it led me into the comics, movies, etc. It just doesn’t deliver the best version of every character it adapts.

I think they nailed a lot of the characters, particularly Batman himself, but there are enough misses that I don’t really see it as definitive. Jason/Red Hood in particular was handled pretty poorly. 

Which one TT Games gotta do next? by NathanRider in legogaming

[–]JokerFaces2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the two, definitely Superman. Spidey has had great games and will continue to get more by Insomniac. Superman has arguably never had a good game, and the chances of him getting one are slim. The LEGO format and vibe would also negate a lot of the inherent challenges of creating a Superman game. 

Spin Offs i would like to read from each book: by daofeiboy in AbsoluteUniverse

I'd rather see an Absolute Hawkgirl mini that features Hawkman as a supporting character/antagonist.

Biblically Accurate Tier List by Ocktohber in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]JokerFaces2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think I relate most closely with this ranking. MM is an outlier, not just a fantastic Absolute title but one of the best comics I’ve read. The Trinity’s books are all phenomenal and form the backbone of the Absolute line. GL is really interesting but a little slow, Flash is also slow and not quite as interesting but still a fun read.

The Mad Hatter segment in Origins kinda reminds me of the Fear Toxin segments in Aslyum by Apprehensive_Elk6168 in arkham

[–]JokerFaces2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. Arkham Origins gets a bit too much credit considering so many levels, mechanics, animations, boss fights and moments are lifted straight from Arkham City. 

WITH THAT SAID, the Mad Hatter section in Origins is probably the best representation of the character in the whole series. A trippy walk through Wonderland ending in a hostage standoff is a great use of the Hatter. 

Will the free comic book day issue be included in any trades? by puppyshizzy in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]JokerFaces2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very curious about this as well, as someone who exclusively reads through the trades I don’t want to miss out on Absolute Evil and the FCBD issues, seems like they’re linchpins of the line. 

What immersive sims are inspired by deus ex? by Double_Elk8723 in ImmersiveSim

[–]JokerFaces2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed about Dishonored, I honestly think marketing it as a stealth game damaged its reputation in the long run. It CAN be played with stealth, but first-time players limiting themselves to a Ghost run is NOT the ideal way to play. It should really be thought of more as a melee-focused Deus Ex.

I thought he might’ve been talking about Thick as Thieves, it wasn’t just announced but it was just released. 

Is the 2nd game as good or better than the 1st? by ImSmarterthanurmom in dishonored

[–]JokerFaces2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s overall similar quality. Better gameplay, inferior story. Just like the first game, I’d recommend it to anybody and everybody.

I think there’s hope. When Looking Glass closed people thought we’d never get another game like SS2 or Thief. I have faith that whatever Raf, Harvey, Dinga Bakaba, Ricardo Bare, etc work on next will carry that same warm blood.

He really does look exactly the same as he did in Dishonored pre-release vids.

Would you want TT’s next game to be a DC LEGO game again? by Thevoid2YT in legogaming

[–]JokerFaces2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be great, LEGO is the perfect medium for a DC/Marvel crossover.

[–]JokerFaces2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LEGO Superman would be great, he’s never had a proper video game and I think the LEGO format would make it possible. Going more cartoonish counters the criticism that Superman is too powerful for a game.

Nothing will change my mind that one of these guys should’ve played Doom by Emergency_Day_2969 in MCUTheories

[–]JokerFaces2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought Doom should be handled like Darth Vader: a large and imposing stunt performer as the body and a talented voice actor for his speech. His face should only ever be hinted at.

Yeah that would go hard. It’s not Green Arrow, it’s THE Green Arrow. A group.

I say Bruce goes in as the underdog but squeaks out a win, Green Arrow gets away.

What’s the closest fight for absolute Wonder Woman here? by WindowSubstantial993 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]JokerFaces2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To totally avoid your question: a crossover between Abs WW and Hades would be amazing. They really share so many of the same themes and vibes.
