I've been a Giant Bomb fan since sometime 2008. Ryan and Jeff appeared on the 1up Yours podcast and I instantly loved both of their personalities so I decided to follow on over. Been listening to the weekly bombcast ever since.
I originally bought a Vita in 2013 to play Persona 4 Golden, like most people. Once I was done with that game I felt at that time (Fall 2013) the system was dead, and I ended up getting rid of it and moving on. I rebought one in February 2015 because the library of weird niche titles had grown to the point that there were several I wanted to play. I also started to amass a heavy ps1 JRPG backlog, which the vita is great for those games. Today I use it simply for that, but with the Switch out it is hard for me to not use the switch and play something on the Vita. It was a cool system, but the Switch improves upon that experience.
I actually enjoyed it. It's not a perfect movie or anything, but as someone who really enjoyed Prometheus, I was pretty happy here by the end. Sure, there are holes in this movie, specifically David killing (seemingly) the entire Engineer race, but if that's true then how did they survive and still explore other planets without knowing that their race on their homeworld was destroyed? I am a bit bummed about what they did with Elizabeth Shaw, as I wanted to see that character again. But turning David into the main bad guy here was a fantastic decision. I'm not sure if I'm 100% on board with him being the so-called "creator" of the xenomorph race, but I'm also not put off by it. I enjoyed that while they kind of just danced around the idea of him being a bad guy in the original, here he has become a full blown villain.
I think it's great from the standpoint that the Far Cry series has never been known for its great protagonists. This series is always about having a fantastic villain.
Logan: I'd easily give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only thing that brought it down from greatness was an overall plot hole near the end of that film. Other than that, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Hell of a way to close out a comic book character movie franchise.
Honestly I think games for the system will have a higher rarity than the system itself. The only reason the Wii U will remain at a higher price, especially higher than the Dreamcast is thanks to the tablet controller. But there are enough systems in the wild to keep it from becoming this ultra rare and expensive thing. However I agree that it is truly the DreamCast of this generation.
@redhotchilimist I fully expect if it truly is the Court of Owls that they all just take off their owl masks and put on Joker masks and we just call it the Court of Jokers.
Joking aside (no pun intended) I would really like to see an Arkham game focus on a villain that isn't Joker. I was excited for Arkham Origins and that game just turned into another damn Joker game. It was also a much less polished Arkham game.
Obviously this new game will be a Warner Montreal game, and that's fine, so I hope they can learn from their mistakes from the previous game, but I would like to see the formula changed up a bit.
