I've full committed to smart weapons I think. I have an SMG, rifle, and two shotguns right now (one with a nonlethal mod for cyberpsychos).

You don't actually need nonlethal weapons to subdue cyberpsychos- they'll be knocked out by default. They're only supposed to die if they take damage when they're already down (though this can apparently be a bit buggy- a lot of people say that finishing them off with a headshot or having an active DOT will kill them, but I took down most psychos with a poisoned knife to the brain and didn't kill any of them).

They just needed to give us a bunch of quality movies with the actual lead humans being the focus of it rather than the monsters.

Wasn't the human lead being the focus one of the main things wrong with The Mummy? I've not seen it, but I thought a lot of people were disappointed that it ended up as "Tom Cruise stars as Tom Cruise in Look How Awesome Tom Cruise Is (also there's a Mummy)"

So if I only care about the DLC that unlocks characters, what is the best version of Marvel Midnight Suns to get?

Legendary. The Digital+ Edition only contains extra skins, the Legendary Edition contains skins and mission DLCs. The only way to not get the skins is to buy the base game and Season Pass, which costs more than Legendary.

It's possible they toned down Tiny Tina because, well, she's a bit divisive to folks. I know plenty of people who don't care for the character, and maybe they thought if they matched her energy in the games, it may deter folks from wanting to see it or enjoying it.

So just leave her as a side character. Promoting her to co-lead and toning her down feels like they're trying to have their cake and eat it. "People love this character, so we want more of her. But also people hate this character, so let's have less of what makes her her".

Is there a Razzie for worst casting?

The visuals and stuntwork look great, it's definitely Pandora brought to life. I just have no idea why we've got people cosplaying as Vault Hunters instead of the actual characters.

I find the lack of Main Theme noms disturbing. Like, it's legit really weird.

Prelude is what I think of as the FF 'main theme', is there something else I'm forgetting?

I would heavily recommend playing the first Suikoden before the sequel. It's not like FF where every game is in its own world with no connections to others, there's a shared continuity with ongoing plotlines and recurring characters.

Not an actual game, but the plot of the film The Gamers: Hand of Fate involves a fictional CCG where the outcome of a tournament has the potential to change not just the lore, but the mechanics of the game. The 'villains' are vying to (IIRC) have one of the in-game factions wiped out in a way that will also cause their signature mechanic to be removed from the rules.

I wouldn't be surprised if they 'abandoned' Smash Bros for a while and made a new mascot fighter series with different mechanics. Maybe go 3D with something like Power Stone or Dissidia, or something closer to a 'traditional' fighter but still simplified like Battle for the Grid or SF6's Modern input controls.

I guess IV needs another remake

VI needs a remake just so we can have a proper version of the opera scene.

Forget the Marvel Vs fighting game, I would absolutely play Cthulhu Pacific Rim.

Telltale

Well, they don't have any characters of their own, but if the roster's open to any characters who've appeared in their games, then we get-

Sam & Max
Guybrush Threepwood
Wallace & Gromit
Bigby Wolf
Clementine
Rhys and Fiona
Strongbad
Ash Williams
GLaDOS, maybe, not sure how she'd work

Yeah, I'd play that for sure. Not sure which team the Guardians of the Galaxy would be on, though.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.
