Prequel, or someone new taking up Batman’s mantle I would guess. Maybe the Dick Grayson version, or I think they can explore Azrael? Pretty sure he showed up to challenge Batman in one of the games

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda wish the conveyer belts would just fling them off into oblivion or something for me.

I suppose those exclusives and freebies were the reason. I think they needed to do all the things and blew the opportunity. If it was a company with shit for funding I might have more pity but Epic definitely had the budget to do more.

All Epic had to do was build a good store front with similar features as Steam provides. They didn’t. Their store sucked from the beginning and it also blows now. Relying purely on exclusives and freebies was a losing game - they needed to back it up by making the service worthwhile beyond that, and they utterly failed to do so.

You must be new. This is America we are talking about.

Who could possibly be motivated to do such a thing??? Hmmmm

Had a recent discussion on here about exactly this because someone said this is the worst time to be alive. There’s no way I’m going back to the past, and I’m not even a minority or one of the oppressed sexual orientations/ genders. Ill take my vaccines, frustrating technology, and unfortunately corporate overlords and oligarchs thank you very much. At least when they ram a spear up my ass they do it in the form of a digitalized bill.

Thats a pretty miserable take on modern life, and I’m amused that your golden era is during World War 1. Enjoy your mustard gas and spanish flu!

I was with you until the last two sentences and then you just dove overboard. Life is fucking great compared to just about any time in the past. You know refrigerators have only been around for a little over a hundred years? Same with antibiotics, antibacterial soaps, indoor plumbing, electricity, tv, radio, and obviously the internet. Sure corporate bullshit sucks, but the level of comfort we experience while not dying from minor infections by the time we turn 30 is pretty fantastic. Even with stupid rules like this video games are fucking amazing. I’m typing this message with a magic light up box that can play music, order me delivery, pay my bills, look up nearly any knowledge available to mankind, and show me things beyond the wildest imagination of anyone prior to the turn of the century. Life is amazing, we just have to keep fighting the assholes who want to keep all the awesome stuff for themselves.

Therefore, Capcom can go suck a fat shit.

Yup, took this off my wishlist as soon as I saw the requirement in the store. At least steam warns you about it. I would love to play this game but there’s so many other great games to play it doesn’t feel like much of a loss for me.

Its been awhile so maybe things have changed. When I tried it out it basically took everything I enjoyed about these games and scrapped that to make it work as an MMO. Somehow Im the main hero but had several dozen people jumping around me at all times. All agency of character choice was gone, along with half the possible skill sets. Every quest had one way, maybe two ways, to complete them. It was no longer I could sneak or bribe or negotiate or fight or pickpocket or trick them into fighting someone else or use a spell to mesmerize or put them to sleep or poison them or whatever else came to mind with my incredible multitude of tools. It was just dull.

Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.
