I'll also run through my pull list and weekly reviews later on when I get home. If anything, it'll motivate me to read my comics early in the week rather than waiting until the Tuesday before new comics.

After having never read Marvel I got peer-pressured into reading the Legacy one-shot by my lcbs owner, then decided to pick up Deadpool and Amazing Spider-Man and so far it's all been pretty meh.

There's probably better books to pull but I don't really care about gender-swapped Avengers or X-men that I'm generally unfamiliar with.

I don't think you're missing anything too important by not fully reading the tie-ins. The only thing is that the main Metal issues tend to carry-over from whatever the previous tie-in was so it might take a second to figure out what's going on.

The Batman one-shots were pretty self-contained to start, but the last few had a lot more current universe stuff going on. The Batman Who Laughs is completely skippable in terms of overall importance, but I do think it's the best of the bunch.

Also I'm so glad I read Final Crisis a few months ago or I'd be more lost than I already am with Snyder's references. The reveal at the end of Metal #1 flew right over my head so I had to do some research there.

I also read Watchmen for the first time a few months ago after having only seen the movie, so I'm hype for Doomsday Clock.

Has anyone been reading Metal? I've gotten every tie-in and one-shot so far and have been enjoying it.

I thought Gotham Resistance was much better than Bats out of Hell, and the quality of the Batman one-shots have been generally good.

I just finished reading The Batman Who Laughs, and wow, it's pretty dark. Great issue.

35. Beat a game with a lead that's from a fictional species

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

I've played and enjoyed every game in this series except for 4, but never really delved into the huge grind that was the post-game. Coming into this one, my plan was to finally go through that grind and do all the extra stuff, until I realized that I just wasn't enjoying the game very much. Maybe it's because I played Fire Emblem for the first time since the last time I played a Disgaea game, but something about it was just was not fun. It sucks, because D2 is a great game and the original is one of my favourites. I might just be done with this series after this one.

There's still a bit of time until the end of the year, but would there be interest in continuing the Great Video Game Challenge into 2018?

If so, does anyone have any thoughts about changes to the challenges? Obviously 4 would become 'Beat a game released between 2010-2017' and 5 would become 'Beat a game released in 2018', but besides that? I was thinking challenge 47 could have a higher number of hours. Most of us seemed to beat that one in the first week of January so making it 'Play a game that can't technically be beaten for at least ten hours' would at least be more of an accomplishment.


I definitely have interest. I didn't think I'd get to 50 this year but it's looking like I'll comfortably reach the mark now. The challenge got me to play and enjoy some games I otherwise wouldn't have, so I'd say it's been a success.

Your change to 47 makes sense. I can't really think of any others that stand out as needing to be replaced.

36. Replay a game from a long time ago

Super Mario Bros. 3

It's been quite a few years since I sat down to actually play this all the way through, and figured this category was a good enough reason to do it. Maybe it's because I was playing on a 3DS, but I had a lot more trouble than I expected with the game. It might be that I'm just bad at old games.

Also as for the credit output dropping by 75% to negate the change, I believe that source was regarding the completion of the single-player, which now awards 5000 credits instead of 20000. There's no reason to assume that credit output is down in multiplayer, although I wouldn't put it past them.

Or maybe it is down across the board and I'm just wrong.

I think you're giving EA too much of a benefit of a doubt.

Why would they lower the single player rewards by the same percentage as the needed amount to unlock stuff but NOT do the same to the multiplayer?


Because you earn less in multiplayer to begin with. They likely lowered the single-player reward so you can't just play the single-player and unlock a bunch of stuff right away.

They likely designed the single-player reward to be enough to get you exactly X amount of unlockables, and thus had to change it when they lowered the cost.

EDIT: Yeah, that appears to be the reason. Previously, Vader cost 60,000, which means clearing the single-player wasn't enough to unlock him. At his new cost, if they left the single-player at 20,000, you'd be able to afford one of the highest priced heroes right away. So they lowered what you get from the single-player.


This seems about right.

I mean, I'm not defending the game at all. I'll be getting the game because I got it for nearly half-price through Amazon and my main interest is the single-player.

10 hours to unlock a character is still outrageous, and I know the argument of "at least they did something" isn't good enough but at least they're 'listening'.

Also as for the credit output dropping by 75% to negate the change, I believe that source was regarding the completion of the single-player, which now awards 5000 credits instead of 20000. There's no reason to assume that credit output is down in multiplayer, although I wouldn't put it past them.

Holy shit, the downvotes and negative press actually worked.

Can't link on mobile, but they've reduced the cost of heroes by 75%, which was originally what this outrage stemmed from.

Pretty significant change.

A lot of people believe that this is essentially a filler story, and I generally agree with that statement. I found myself not really caring for any of the characters other than Javi, and obviously Clementine. The result was that every choice I made involved what benefited Clem the most.
