Scan's out for Batman. Not written by Morrison or Daniel, but the story's pretty good too. The point of it is to make Damian want to know more about his father instead of just thinking and accepting him as a generic dark knight of justice.

I love the way Damian's growing.


...AW [parasitic bomb] BATMAN & ROBIN #14 IS [tornado fang]ing TIGHT. It's awesome, I can't wait for the next issue. I don't want to spoil, so I'll wait a bit before talking about it and spazzing out like a good fan.



And like any other decent comic book lover, I am taking the time to read the current issue of One Moment In Time, in order to [sonic slicer] about it.

...


OH MY GOD.


OH GOD, QUESADA, [tornado fang] YOU. THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU HAVE EVER, EVER DONE.


[tornado fang] YOU, QUESADA. [tornado fang]. YOU.


OH GOD.


QUESADA, YOU [chameleon sting]er. YOU. STUPID. [chameleon sting]er.


HOW COULD YOU


HOW [tornado fang]ing COULD YOU


YOU HAVE RUINED THINGS FOREVER


...that's it. That's [tornado fang]ing it. Seriously, I am taking a VERY long hiatus from Spider-Man until this man is out of Marvel for good.

@Flash/Bat: back from work, but in all seriousness, I can't really describe much, I like Adam and his 'death' scene touched me, and when I get that, it's good/well done to me.  Repeated viewings could change that, but so far, in the case of Adam anyways, not so much of a change.  That's all.

As for 'manga storytelling'.  The movie adaption of Old Boy sure as hell is one [tornado fang]ing awesome adaption, considering what medium it's based on.  Manga too is also awesome, oh, but I guess my opinion is invalid cuz it's wacky japanese comic [parasitic bomb]/sarcasm.

But whatever, to each his/her own no?

It's cool. I'm not questioning your taste or anything.

...Old Boy is VERY different from the manga, though. Heck, manga completely sucks compared to the movie.

Gackt became popular. (Some japanese pop star with teeny god status. Look him up)

I know who Gackt is. But Nomura automatically switched his style to something completely derrivative and not as original as he had before. He could have easily kept his old style.

He's a general, his blood/brain being on file somewhere is no far stretch.  As Other M showed us you can barely sneeze in that outfit without somebody authorizing it.

"Samus: That perfect military mind... The wisdom of Adam Malkovich continued to serve even after death. Until today, I had no idea that the minds of leaders and scientists were frequently uploaded to computers. My incredible reunion with Adam may have saved the universe..."

(click to show/hide)

Adam's death I don't mind, but yeah, some encounter with an unfreezable Metroid would have been nice.  Drive home the point that MB was setting Samus up, and also make the fact that they are a setup for Adam's death less obvious.  Yeah, we know he has to buy it before Fusion, and they picked a good way for him to go, my full and sole gripe is being told why, rather than shown why.

Madeline, yeah.  As I said before, her being revealed after Queen Metroid makes it clear that they were just looking at the story and not at game pacing.  I don't expect to grow attached to Melissa, though.  Cheezy dialogue pretty much never comes unexpected to me, and besides, no matter what Madeline thinks of her, she's still based off of Mother Brain.  Samus may or may not believably hesitate to kill her, but trying to build player sympathy with her, I think, is a majorly uphill battle.

Missiles I didn't mind in the least.  They're sniping weapons in this game, hence the lock-on.  Your added 3rd-person attack power role is filled by the close-range charge attacks.

Would I appreciate Missiles on the B button?  Absolutely not.  If 3rd person use were necessary, use Minus button (currently unoccupied) to switch attack modes.  The B button when held sideways is a last resort, poorly positioned and easily pressed by mistake when your attention is off of it (MM10 suffers SEVERELY for this).  It should never be used for anything potentially detrimental, and if it must be used, is best suited to "hold" mechanics so that accidental use can be instantly canceled (ie, Brawl's shields; in Other M you could potentially hold B to charge your Speed Booster, or possibly a 3rd-person Grapple Beam).  Using it for Missiles would risk wasting ammunition (granted less of a concern with concentration) and charge time, and regardless of that would feel extremely intrusive.

Yep, exactly. So Adam might still be alive somewhere. It's the general rule of off-screen deaths.

Also, Missiles would be good to have on third-person, but I actually thought that having to switch to first-person to use them was a cool move, and raised the challenge level a bit in a way that I didn't find that gimped the gameplay. Plus, if you had missiles in third person, 90% of the time you use the first person would be gone.

Hello everybody, since i love megaman so much i wanted to start the right way in this forum hence here i am, introducing myself.

My name is uriel, im 26 and i live in mexico, i have been a megaman fan since 8, when my mother bought me my NES, the first megaman i played is 2 and i inmediately loved it, so far i have played and cleared almost every megaman, except for the starforce saga (which i didnt like too much), megaman ZXAdvent, megaman powered-up, megaman maverick hunter X, and rockboard (some old NES game like monopoly but megaman based).
Currently i own a NES, a SNES, PS, PS2 and s NDS, but sadly i dont have all the megaman titles in original (i have been broke all my life Laughing).

Well that's it i supose, hope to get along with everyone.

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay.

Long hair and skirt. Clean him up, stick him in a dress with a few hair ribbons, and you can call him Lucy.

that WAS his personality. all business, no play. in both Fusion, this, and the manga.

off screen death maybe, but he cannot be revived post Fusion since Fusion established that he was the computer on samus ship whom reminded her of dead Adam. and if hes revived after that, then this game has nothing to do with that, since he was already dead prior to this game. Also, I dont think cloning Humans works in the Metroid Universe- at least- its never been done.

I dont know. I thought it was a sad scene. or at least- a very cool send off for him.

The AI could be based of his memory. They didn't just recover his body in space so they could dump the brain into a disk. Coulda just been a backup of his memory.

I saw a mockup of a roster for Dissidia 2 done in Nomura's style. Galuf looked like a woman with a mustache. It was hideous.

Has Nomura ever made any big character who doesn't look like a woman?

There's a difference between being samey but charming, like Toriyama, and being a 90's reject that only draws overly masculine bodies, has no sense of anatomy, and still can't draw feet after all these years, like Liefeld.

Same could be said for many other artists. Compare the Dragon Ball (mainly the manga) artstyle to Dragon Quest for example. Toriyama pretty much makes most of the DQ characters Goku and Bulma look-alikes.

Oh, but Toriyama has got it BADLY. =P Everyone looks EXACTLY the same, every hero is Goku, every girl is Bulma, and even his animals and beasts all look the damn same. =P

lol 'wacky japanese stuff'

hearing that always makes me laugh.

Now i'm itching to watch "Taste of Tea" once again~ (a japanese film btw.)

Japanese films with typical japanese culture are great, mind you. When japanese are japanese, they're awesome. It's why I love games like Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku, because they look japanese, they don't like pretty bishonen with colorful hair.

Nobody Knows continues to be the one movie in the whole world which I have made a promise never to watch again, because if I did, my sadness and cries would probably cause me to commit suicide or something. Japanese storytelling manages to be AMAZINGLY good when it's adapted from their own culture, not when it tries to be a stupid copy of 80's hollywood.

They sure have alot of armor in those illustrations than I see alot of belt and zipper.  I'll take a look at them again.

Beltandzipper is basically the name we give to Nomura's style, just because his outfits normally have alot of them. It doesn't mean that all of his characters have them. It's kinda like Rob Liefeld and pouches. We all know the real problem with Liefeld isn't pouches, but the fact that he doesn't know [parasitic bomb] about anatomy. The problem with Nomura is that all of his characters look the same. He's very attached to that style. And it gets worse with the years. He makes awesome men look like [Top Spin]s now.

At level 40, trying to beat the same dude. Still can't. I hate it when characters are pretty much untoucheable if you go near them. He doesn't seem to have any stable routine whatsoever, and some of his combos are inescapable.

...having to stand still while another character hacks away at your life bar feels so damn stupid.

Posted on: September 07, 2010, 06:50:31 PM...So, I finally beat him.

...because I found that the way to beat him incredibly easily... is...

...to slowly counter every single attack he does and make one single strike for each of his attacks.

...

...in a Kingdom Hearts game. A final boss which doesn't let you do combos and works entirely by countering is like a Mario game made entirely of QTEs.

IT IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY DAMMIT
