Don't get your hopes up for that Riddler fight.

You just fight a bunch of regular robots, then avoid an attack by Riddler an punch him. Repeat 3 times and you are done

Arkham Knight felt like it could have been a really good 15 hour game that they tried so hard to stretch into something more. More collectibles, more enemy types, more Riddler stuff! More of everything! Except tightly crafted in-door environments and memorable boss fights that is. I was just getting bored of the game because the main story is really uninteresting and none of the main quests felt like they did anything to differentiate themselves from the stuff you do in the sidequests. Everything just felt like "more of the same".

I groaned every time the game said "Oh you thought you collected all the bombs/towers/apcs/strongholds? Well guess what, here are even more of them!"

Money is pretty useless in Spelunky if you aren't going for a high score though.

Too bad that they had to close but none of their games did anything for me. The Path is the only one I played through (If you can call it that) and thought it was god awful. Bientôt l'été looks like the most pretentious thing ever made. Sunset on the other hand looked kinda interesting but looking at some videos it was clear very early that this is nothing for me either.

Flying Fairy is actually a pretty fantastic name, considering the "reveal" in the game.

There is a character, your "Navi" basically, called Airy. And well simply put, it is revealed that she lies to you. Flying Fairy. Lying Airy. IIRC after that reveal even the title of the game changes. It's so dumb, it's brilliant.

I played 40 hours of the game and I'm not sure what you are talking about.

What you're specifically talking about is that Geralt doesn't use pronouns. It is odd, and I've noticed it since the beginning, but it doesn't bother me.

That being said, I'm not sure I have much of an explanation as to why. It could be because of his Witcher mutations, but the other Witchers don't seem to speak the same way. I also doubt that it's part of the Rivian accent since other characters who speak with a similar accent (at least in the English version) don't speak that way. Geralt did undergo special Witcher mutations in addition to the usual, so I suppose that one of his supplemental mutations could explain why he talks like that and the other Witchers don't. It could also just be his personality, I guess.

I'm not far into Witcher 3, but I haven't run into any Rivians. The other main characters that speak with American accents aren't from Rivia, either. Triss and Dandelion, for example, aren't from Rivia. The previous games didn't have anyone from Rivia, either.

Well if you want to get super technical about it, Geralt isn't actually from Rivia. To seem more trustworthy Vesemir encouraged the Witchers to adopt surnames - Geralt's original choice was "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde", but Vesemir thought that was too pretentious and gave him the name "of Rivia" for practicality. In the books it's said that he speaks with a Rivian accent to seem more authentic, but I think it's safe to say that CD Projekt wasn't necessarily going for that based off the examples you gave of Triss and Dandelion.

WELL ACTUALLY.

He later get's knighted "Geralt of Rivia" by accident.

Banjo was great. Not nearly as good as Mario, but still a fantastic game.
