    Well, I'm guessing he will be the villain towards the Suicide Squad, who are a group of bad guys.

    I would be pretty shocked if they took a "Superman is a bad guy" approach, unless it's some stupid brainwashing / possession story.
    They made it work in the Injustice games. Maybe they’ll go the same route with Suicide Squad.

    They could always get quirky and have it be Bizarro Superman.

    I got Ion Fury, and it's a ton of fun.

    But I'm dying to play DUSK and I can't find it in the shop, despite it being listed as available on NS.

    As expected, Grounded mode announced for The Last of Us Part 2. Also a permadeath mode! The game's length made getting the platinum pretty grueling, so I'll wait a bit for grounded mode. And as much as I love permadeath games, this doesn't feel like one to me. Regardless, how long will it take for someone to beat grounded mode on permadeath? Seems inconceivable to me, but it'll probably take about 0.3 seconds.

    Some 11 year old in South Korea probably already modded the game to have permadeath and beat it using a first gen Guitar Hero guitar controller while blindfolded.

    Total playtime was 35 seconds.

    Is it possible for gamers to be happy with anything?

    When Halo: Infinite was shown a few weeks back, gamers were pissed about the visuals and said it wasn't up to par for next gen.

    Microsoft just announced that they're delaying it to 2021 to clean it up and make it better, and the same gamers are angry that they won't have Halo: Infinite at launch, and are blasting Microsoft for "not standing by their product".

    Seriously...what do you want?

    I'm currently going through my annual 'I wanna build/own my own arcade cabinet' phase. Anyone got any experience with that? Doing a YouTube search for HQ Megacade Will yield some sick videos, complete with lightgun support and 65000 games for hundreds of systems. But they're pre-built and cost 5 grand. Seems a smart way to start Building one is buying a raspberry pi 3 or 4 mini pc for 50-100 bucks. Anyway, huge dream!

    Well, you're probably not literally seeing the same group of people react.

    I'd like to do the same, but my place doesn't have the space for it. I'm kind of relieved in a way.

    I designed a cabinet to house all my old systems with the intention of swappable controllers. Even to unlock the protruding controller section and rotate 180 degrees (by mounting a lazy susan between the cab and controller section) so you could have four controllers (2 per system) already set. I thought it was a neat idea. Haven't built it yet tho. Not for this house.

    It's been out for a while.

    I got it. Neat concept and visuals, but the controls are garbage.

    Walked into the Elk River, MN Walmart to audit them. Finished up, grabbed a couple things, and wandered to electronics. Scarette had been looking for a Switch. Low and behold, they had five, now four. When the associate came over to unlock the case, he exclaimed "Holy Shit, when did those come in?"

    Long story short, what games do you recommend? Mind you, she's setting up Animal Crossing right now. I'm Dark Souls, she's Princess Peach/Zelda.

    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is supposed to be something special. I got it for Lucy for Christmas, but she's too wrapped up in Fortnight and hasn't played it yet.

    She has Breadth of the Wild on the Wii U. Got a bit too frustrated with it. For it is the Dark Souls of the Zelda games.

    The Switch's mobility is its biggest advantage, along with the Nintendo first party exclusives. Focus on games that come straight from Nintendo and/or games that you want to have with you all the time, ie games with a high amount of replayability. My basic rule of thumb is that you can't really go wrong with any titles featuring Mario or his friends.

    These games make the system worth buying, imo:

    - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    - Super Mario Odyssey
    - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
    - Super Mario Maker 2
    - Mariokart 8 Deluxe*
    - Splatoon 2*
    - Super Smash Bros Ultimate*
    - Yoshi's Crafted World
    - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U port)
    - Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle

    * Includes solo and couch co-op, but really requires a Nintendo Online sub to get the most out of them.

    Great indies (but available on other platforms):

    - Dead Cells
    - Slay the Spire
    - Into the Breach
    - Celeste
    - Undertale
    - Stardew Valley
    - Cuphead
    - Hollow Knight
    - Steamworld Heist
    - Katamari Damacy
    - Ori and the Blind Forest
    - Streets of Rage 4
    - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
    - Bayonetta 2
    - Rayman Legends
    - Enter the Gungeon

    Nintendo first party titles will always be $60 retail, no matter how long ago they were released. They'll go on sale twice a year, during E3 and Black Friday.

    Absolutely do NOT buy any triple-A port without researching it first. Every publisher has dumped old titles to the Switch, and a lot of the ports just suck. Either they play badly (stutter, long load times, etc) or they have noticeably shittier graphics than their PC/PS4/XBone counterparts. They're also more expensive, eg: I bought Witcher 3 for $15 on XBox. It's currently selling for $60 on Switch. (The only exception I've found to this is Diablo III, because Blizzard did a lot of extra work to tailor their port.)

    PS: This is Irish, btw, in case that wasn't obvious.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is underrated. And if you're into resource management-type games, Kingdom: Two Crowns works beautifully on Switch.

    You know who was a real tool?

    Irish.

    Fuck, I sure am glad we don't see that guy around here anymore.

    I hope he's dead. Or at least seriously inconvenienced on a daily basis.

    I just bought Kingdom Two Crowns yesterday! Looks good so far and very chill.
    It's a gorgeous game. Also you can play with just one joy-con/hand, allowing for ultimate relaxation.
