I had thought for years that ACA had eliminated these kinds of plans. I'm guessing I heard about that being included in one of those infamous earlier drafts before the free-market neo-liberals ripped it apart.

I'm one of the weird ones who kinda liked the batmobile. Game just felt really good to play although no argument that it was off balance, especially in the narrative department.
I feel like that list wouldn't actually be that diverse.
Arkham City
Spider-Man 2018
Arkham Asylum
Spider-Man 2
Arkham Knight?
I'd check the video to see if he lists them out, but I must have some kind of analogy dyslexia, because as much as I respect ACG, his reviews start to sound like gibberish after about the 3rd consecutive analogy.
It's official, folks. Unfetter your hype and submit those pre-orders if you're inclined.
I have to say, I'm surprised they brought back the MJ missions. I'm trying to remember how much I enjoyed them on my first playthrough, but I can say in subequent ones I was desperate to move past them. Maybe they'll let you skip them in new game plus like they did for the science "puzzles" in the first game.
Edit: obligatory bring-back-original-peterface. I feel a twinge of bitterness every time I see peterface 2.0.
Google may be evil, but you can't deny they still attract top talent.
"I know the game industry is tough and how much work is involved in a group of developers and artists working together to build a game, and the last thing I'd want to do is shit all over that hard work.
So I guess that's the end of the post."
By jove I think you might be right.
This is so fucking exhausting.
Lee – who went from hoping for the appointment to, in recent weeks, making a political issue out of knocking Newsom on the assumption she wouldn’t get it – spent Monday and Tuesday reaching out to fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus to urge them to stick with her, even though there is now another Black woman in the spot. Schiff’s initial response was to trumpet the big lead he has in fundraising, which aides were hoping would get both Butler’s attention and that of reporters busy assessing her chances. California political insiders have noticed anti-Butler opposition research appearing and a new anti-Butler account on X, and have been pointing fingers over who is behind them. False rumors that Newsom offered others the appointment first have been floated, too.
Patting backs, making nonsense announcements to get media attention, oppo research... I mean, I'm not naive, this is the way things go. But we're never going to get the best-qualified people to serve in government while campaigning requires this much machination unrelated to the actual merit of the candidates. Maybe some time around our evolution to a full Type 1 civilization we'll have figured this out.
I'm not a lectern aficionado, but I feel very confident agreeing with you that this particular lectern is offensively ugly.
A generation living too late to explore the Earth and too early to explore space--also doomed to live so long in the era between a fledgling, pre-corporatized internet and a free and open post-corporatized internet (which I consider inevitable, eventually, because a capitalist, enshittified internet can't sustain indefinitely...right?).
I played Alan Wake around when it was released, then skipped Quantum Break. When I started Control, I was expecting an interesting story supported by passable but derivative gameplay, because that's what I remembered from Alan Wake (light mechanics aside, the controls and gunplay felt wholly unremarkable).
So I was surprised when pretty much every aspect of Control exceeded my expectations, gameplay top of the list. Even the story and atmosphere was a level up from what they achieved in Alan Wake. Point being, I think the niche they've built for themselves has always been interesting, but they I don't think they figured out broad appeal until Control. I am super excited for Alan Wake 2.
Not seeing good reasoning here. "Adjusting to market conditions" means they went as high as they believed they could bear, and the claim that they haven't raised prices in "many years" doesn't justify raising prices by $40 in one jump.
Lots of "consumers" this and that, as if we're all on board with the hikes because we just recognize so much value in the service.
