If it happened, would we get a full Batman series complete with crossovers and its own spinoffs? How about an entire Superman show? The character is already making a current appearance on CBS’s Supergirl , which is confirmed to be set in an alternate reality to the ‘Arrowverse’. Given the abundance of doppelgangers across different universes, it’s possible that the Arrowverse could get its own version of Superman – one who could actually show his face and not just communicate exclusively through
Meanwhile, TV can takes things slower. By nature the series would be episodic, even if it all culminates in a larger story arc, meaning that there’s plenty of screen-time to develop a universe. The Flash would almost certainly be part of both teams, but otherwise the membership could fluctuate as it does in the comics; the line-up could change over time, be entirely different from the get-go, or just not even develop into an official ‘Justice League’ at all, instead bearing a different name or just being a loose series of team-
Even if microtransactions might be backed by good intentions, that doesn’t change the way they feel to gamers. EA’s own Mass Effect 3 ‘s day-one DLC had many fans up in arms —if the DLC was ready at launch, why wasn’t it included in game, especially since it contained a character many long-time fans of the series were dying to see? It’s easy to be cynical; EA knew players wanted to know more about the mysterious Protheans and knew they’d be willing to pay money for it, so it’s possible they changed their business model for more profit. That, coupled with the introduction of war resources that required multiplayer grinding for the best ending, microtransactions to get better weapons and characters in multiplayer, and the controversial ending, left fans of the series feeling exploited and skeptical for the fut
Not all free-to-play models are bad; League Of Legends does it well with rotating champions and monetized skins that add customization but no significant advantage. Mobile games are known for particularly exploitative models, and psychologists have even made connections between particularly devious free-to-play games and gambling addicti
Mario is not only a staple in video game history; he is THE pinnacle of the industry. His games have defined what it means to be a video game. But guess what? I can make a video game too! Super Mario Maker is a phenomenal concept that allows fans to bring to life their very own versions of the plumber’s classic adventures. I’ve had tons of fun just imagining my own Mario levels and feeling like a real developer at Nintendo. If only they could see my creations…sigh. Whatever, Super Mario Maker is in fact a fantastic game despite all the extremely hard user-created levels that I’ve skipped over.
KM: I think it’s all about evolution. We’ve worked really hard to really change the way our team works; that way, we can deliver a lot of content very frequently. This is a really new thing for us. Our team has worked on StarCraft II , Warcraft III , and original StarCraft , so we were a boxed product team where we worked on something for many years, released it and then went away for a couple of years, then release an expans
Pokémon is my absolute favorite franchise and it was very unfortunate there was no entry to the series this year. However, Pokémon was wise enough to appease me by releasing something, even if it was a puzzle MOBA game meta analysis. Pokémon Shuffle has been a game I’ve constantly replayed. I’ve been enjoying it for over a year and I show no sign of stopping. New levels are constantly being added and timed challenges keep it interesting. It’s perfect to play on the go and with it now on mobile devices I highly recommend giving it a play.
Finally, the last entry in the epic trilogy of the League Transporters, Bard. The worst of the trio, for the simple reason that the enemy team can also use his Magical Journey portal. It can act as a great trap, using himself as bait, to lure unsuspecting enemies straight to Bard’s waiting allies. However, sometimes the portals are created out of panic, as Bard tries to escape the clutches of death. If not properly coordinated, all Bard accomplishes is the equivalent of the drowning person who pulls down those around them. To top it all off, there is his ultimate, designating anything in an area invulnerable and unable to move for a couple seconds. While useful to lock down a fleeing enemy, giving time for your team to catch up, it often backfires and only locks down his pursuing allies, allowing the enemy to escape. In addition, look at his face, so lovable and peaceful… he doesn’t belong in League of Legen
The games that turned the market on its head. There was no way that Nintendo could have ever known just how popular Pokemon was going to be, but the company decided to test its luck with a new second-party property. This move eventually spawned a trading card game, an anime and countless piles of mo
