@uninspiredcup: I hadn't purchased and NBA game in almost a decade, but I bought NBA 2K20 on Steam when it was only $8. Given this latest attempt by 2K, it'll be a cold day in hell before they get a cent from me again.
Man, that's just low, 2K. Really, really low. I wonder how long they're holding up the "loading" of the game just to showcase these advertisements. Just... scummy.
I'm keeping an open mind with this game. I like the idea of being able to choose a character to play as - potentially keeps the gameplay interesting and varied. I also like the idea of Gotham being a more lively city with citizens around at night. I mean, let's face it... the excuses to evacuate the city every game were getting old. I'm not too keen on the RPG elements, but I do like the OPTION for co-op if I want to have a friend tag along in my Gotham adventures.
There's some positives, to be sure. I love Batman, but I also know there's more to the universe and the characters than just the Dark Knight himself. We'll see how it plays out.
@Keaze_: I found him to be nothing more than the Michael Bay of comic book/ graphic novels. People are in his films, things happen, cue the over saturated, big-budget CGI scenes that are completely obvious due to the style of the source material. I can usually find individual things to enjoy in his films, but overall they're mediocre popcorn flicks at best with very little substance to take away from the experience.
Well... that was different. I mean, it'll be nice I guess to roam a ruined Metropolis. Not too keen on playing as the "bad guys" (not a fan of the "evil/controlled" Superman plot again), but we'll see how it goes.
The game is okay. It's actually pretty nice graphically, but the gameplay is rather... repetitive. I know, what do you expect from a super hero action game, right? After playing the "beta" (let's call it what it is - a demo) I think I'll be skipping this one until it's on sale. I just don't see myself playing it all that long. A once-through for the campaign, but there's nothing there to keep me coming back. Level design is extremely linear and obvious, gameplay is visually appealing at first but quickly dives into repetition, and the online components with loot drops don't interest me in a game like this.
I don't think it'll be a bad game, just a shallow one that's worth picking up during a Steam Sale.
Goddamnit... EA is so useless. I get it, the NHL franchise isn't a huge seller like Madden or Fifa, but come on! I've been playing a second-hand copy of NHL 09 on PC for five months just to get my hockey fix, hoping they'd at least say "We want to bring NHL back to PC, but just be patient."
