I wonder if Rocksteady Studios is going to make more games in the future off DC properties. I'm still waiting all these years for a good Superman game. Wonder Woman seems like it could be a transition though. A lot of physical combat like Batman could be plausible. Except this time it's with amazons and mythical monsters. Would be interesting if they tried.

Not sure if this is the exact right place for this, but I figured I'd start here and see if it works. Has anyone built a Raspberry Pi? I love the old-school games from Atari, Nintendo, and Sega, but as I was not able to score an NES Classic for Christmas, I've been investigating alternate options for getting access to the generation of games I like and came across the Raspberry Pi. My biggest question, if anyone has done it, is the difficulty level, both in acquiring the components as well as the actual assembly. I'm fairly handy, so unless it requires expert-level skill, I should be OK, but I wanted to get feedback from anyone who has actually done it. I had Raspberry Pi., but an old one (version 2). Didn't use it for games though. Assembly wasn't very difficult (then again I work in IT, so I've maybe a weird view on what's difficult or not). |

I never even finished the first batmobile segment. Haha, yeah, it was pretty annoying and had a steep difficulty and learning curve. I was about halfway through the game when the Batmobile stopped being awful. It does improve once you get past the early slog, though. I wonder if Rocksteady Studios is going to make more games in the future off DC properties. I'm still waiting all these years for a good Superman game. Wonder Woman seems like it could be a transition though. A lot of physical combat like Batman could be plausible. Except this time it's with amazons and mythical monsters. Would be interesting if they tried. Oh, yeah. God of War is an excellent template and showcase for a potential Wonder Woman game and how to do it. Green Arrow could do well based on the Arkham games. It would be lighter and sillier, but I think Scribblenauts would be great for a Green Lantern game. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend the few bucks to buy on your phone app store. You materialize objects to solve puzzles by typing them in and it creates them. Very creative. I've solved many puzzles by creating super sonic jetpacks and laser guns so I can get to safety and then blast dinosaurs or whatever. I had Raspberry Pi., but an old one (version 2). Didn't use it for games though. Assembly wasn't very difficult (then again I work in IT, so I've maybe a weird view on what's difficult or not). I've seen people make these retro gaming systems with the Pi. I'm interested as a hobby if I had more time and money. I'd feel bad loading the games that are easily playable elsewhere, like the Nintendo games I can get on the Wii U virtual console, but stuff that's harder/impossible to find elsewhere or if I already own the original game but want it in one place, it's a neat idea. |

Would be interesting if they tried. A Green Arrow with controlled after release arrows (like Aftertouch on your glaive in Dark Sector) would really give the feel of being an expert marksman whether it be in battle or for puzzles. Or a Cap game that allows shield throwing with the same mechanic. It's one of the best and fun throwing mechanics I've seen it a game. |

I did it. I got 100% completion on Arkham Knight. I've never done that on a game before - not since it was a thing, anyway. Obviously old NES/SNES games were simpler and you either beat it or you didn't, but I digress. I didn't intend to at first, particularly since Riddler had 243 riddles in this game, but by the time I finished the main story, I only had two villains left to capture, and you need 100% to get the full ending. Plus, Ridder taunts you and had really pissed me off, so I wanted to kick his butt, which I did. I'm taking a hiatus before starting a new game for a while since it became kind of an obsession for a while when I got close, and I could really use the time on more productive things for a bit.

You have more patience than I do! I never solved all the riddles, or saw the 100% ending. |

It wasn't patience! I was determined to kick Riddler's ass after he pissed me off so much! I would have let it go except when I finished the main story I had unintentionally completed 12/14 of the missions, so it was like ehhhh I'm this far, and Riddler needs to go down.

Completed the Alola Pokedex in Pokemon Sun today. Have all 301 Pokemon registered. It required a lot of grinding, breeding, and trading with GTS. Unfortunately Mew wouldn't transfer out of Pokemon Yellow because it doesn't allow glitch Pokemon. Now to replay Fire Emblem Awakening again.

I am finally playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas a decade too late. Good man! It's a terrific game, and my favorite in the series by a wide margin. It's like urban Zelda due to the RPG-esque character customization gameplay elements. I love the turf war territory mechanic, and the story is quite good. I might have to dig it up and play it again. |

I'm just a little thrown by the idea that I have to feed my character. A little too much realism, maybe? But yeah, extremely impressive otherwise. I knew GTA 3 best, and this is clearly superior. Never cared as much for Vice City. |

What happens if you don't feed your character? Does he complain about being hungry? |

He loses body mass and, I suspect, eventually respawns in the hospital with all your weapons and much of your money gone. |

If I recall correctly, there aren't really any negative effects. I think it's just the game showing you the mechanic so you are aware of it. You can make him overeat and get fat, or have him starve and run it off. You can work out at the gym to make him buff. You can customize hairstyles at the barbershop, clothes at various stores. It was a really neat way, I thought, anyway, to have character customization elements in a plausible "realist" (read: non-fantasy) setting. There are a couple missions that almost made me throw the game out the window, but overall I really liked that game.
