The game is very funny. Well written. Lots of little innovative things in it too. Like when you meet a new Marvel character you have a brief moment when you have the option to watch a short montage that explains who the character is. I also like that it reminds you about certain achievements. Cool stuff. 

Some games are like training grounds for the skills they give you. If you don't use them all, it gets harder than it's supposed to be. 

Yea, you're right, they could do it. Those recent Batman movies were pretty grim. And Rogue One wasn't a happy time. 

I'm super guilty about any thought of vacation right now since I'm still not back to full time work. I'll only be able to enjoy it once that is settled.  

I use the completionist times just in case I love a game and want to do everything. That's a bit of a rarity for me, but I like going into a game thinking I'm going to do everything. 

Those old games. The whole thing was just one screen, although some had different levels and, I think, Phoenix, has a boss fight. There's something common to a lot of art where there's this build up and a great release. You build up to the boss then a satisfying release as you finish it. Like music, or maybe fiction too. Tension and release. Common human predilection, I guess. 

I kind of like my list right now though because I play all different stuff. Keeps things interesting. I'm not forcing myself to complete anything either. If I hate it, I'm out and on to the next one. The one thing that sucks with this shortest-to-longest list is that all the RPGs I like are near the end.

I think the earliest for us in Thursday midnight, the 17th. I'll see it Friday or maybe Saturday. 

Pikmin 4, oh yes. I can't wait for E3 either. Summer Christmas indeed!

Great news Cary! Can't wait to hear your report and see some pictures. 

The scepter looks fine to me. 

The more I play it, the more I see it as maybe less flawed and more a product of the times. The awkwardness of the action seems more like a lack of technology than polish. You can tell a ton of work went into this game. I read that it had a long dev cycle and Microsoft got them (they bought Rare around the same time) to repurpose it as a Xbox 360 launch title. 

The game reminds me so much of the Skylanders games. They started six years later in 2011 and controls/camera were not an issue in those.
