Shorty

Turret* The Symettra nerf on console is bullshit.

But Rocket League is a spiritual sequel to the devs' first game, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars which came out in 2008.

Yeah... I have never seen you like anything good

Congrats on passing and thanks for teaching me a new word

Don't think there's a disk version so prices aren't going to differ much, if at all. I'll just be ordering on PSN. I think as long as you pre-order you're getting the same bonuses from anywhere.

How far did you get? I actually first played it years ago and abandoned it within 5-10 mins thinking there was nothing to interest me. Glad I went back and tried again.

Here I am happy I found enough pidgeys to evolve a Pidgeot and non-gamers on my Facebook are showing off their Blastoises!

Tbh I understand that at least, to me it was pretty key that I didn't know they were players, if I'd known I might've felt the same with regards to bringing me out of the experience. As long as you enjoyed it your way, that's what matters

I don't understand... if someone ran across the bridge or whatever, you don't have to go with them. Everything returns to how it was, you can still get the collectibles yourself and off they go. You're not expected to play the game with the other people, they're just there, playing it too.

Kind of an unusual choice for the first live action movie isn't it? Nothing like regular pokemon, a spin-off game that most people in the west haven't even heard of.... Not exactly got high hopes for it.

Happy Birthday Paul Good to meet you at the last N-E meet and looking forward to the next! Have a rad day

The "Sparrowhorn" designed by a redditor last year is better IMO!

I'm confused by that, "the person I was with". I didn't think it paired you up with someone specific? For me there was several different people, some were playing the game, some just wandering around. Rather than turning the game off I would've put it down for 5 mins and let them go on ahead? But then again, that stems from the fact that you were aware in the first place that it was another player, and that you could turn the internet off to get rid of them. Generally I feel like I had a different experience to most described here. I don't feel like I "did the game with someone", just that there were some people there along the way. No, I played it six months ago. I don't see how the other players take away from anything... The game isn't a series of puzzles to solve really, so what does it matter if someone is sharing the experience? I even find it funny that Kotaku says "when you first play". For me the game is a one-off, there's really no need to play it twice. Once that box is checked you'll never recreate the experience. Hence the title. I have shown this game to a few people since and felt that an important part was not to tell them anything. I don't want to go off on a tangent I'm just a bit surprised that there's an article out there that is, for me, depriving people of what was one of my favourite ever gaming experiences...

It's funny that people turn the online off on this. I guess this is people who've read up too much before they play? For me I had the same experience as jayseven above, I didn't even know the other people were real players.

I think the fact you think the Penguin is an actual penguin is probably telling of your knowledge on this subject....

"World's Greatest Detective" is his given subtitle like "Man of Steel". He's a character... and it's taken for granted that he's an excellent detective and will solve any crime in his given universe. I'm not sure how a "my fictional detective is better than your fictional detective" argument is even meant to be functional.

That's not how edits work! You've been out of the game too long :p Thanks for the almost-mention <3

This looks great. Only... slightly disappointed because I kind of thought they would take a more unique stylistic approach to the universe, From the original teaser I imagined we were going to have an old-school, stripped back "World's Greatest Detective" vibe. Instead we've got a pretty typical looking modern comic Batman. Looks fine to me!

That shit is not going to go down well. I like it though

October 11th is earlier than I was expecting can't wait. Time for the team's hard work to pay off and for them to actually sell some copies :p

December 2nd in the UK (pretty standard shift to the Friday).

I'm sitting at work with Go open, my avatar is wandering around presumably while GPS fluctuates/searches for me. Will that give me progress towards egg hatching? I'm not into this game much, mainly because I don't walk anywhere, but I do like it. Just got a Haunter.

Barring something going terribly wrong with this game, I think this'll be the one where I jump back into the series

If you really saw it for £229 at Simply Games your friend should've grabbed it :p £245 now and I don't know anywhere that it's cheaper. Now is not a time to expect a discount on a current gen console unfortunately.

I imagine there's in game statistics that will answer that for you. AC usually has that kind of stuff.
