Reaper Ezekial

So not only will you pay $80 for the title and like it - lest you prove you’re not a “serious gamer” - but you’d better also have the most expensive and powerful hardware to even think of playing it. Kind of glad that Borderlands never grabbed me. The constant hardware upgrades are what pulled me out of PC gaming forever ago, and the constant push to drop a small fortune to upgrade to the newest next-gen system is slowly pushing me out of console gaming now. Guess it’s a good thing I’ve got classic systems and a hefty backlog.

Putting the soapbox away now - carry on.

So, I’m confused. Is this sequel also going to be a VR game as well? Because a million players or not, that’s still a pretty niche market.

As for Rockdteady, all I can say is that they’d better stick the landing. Arkham Knight was ambitious and a lot of the set pieces were cool, but it had a fair number of issues. And let’s not beat around the bush - their post-Arkham Knight offerings were less than stellar.

Could it also maybe be that next gen consoles shouldn’t rely on remasters, remakes and rereleases of games people have been able to play pretty easily for years? Looking at you, Switch 2. And you, PS5. You both know what you did.

I do like the idea of an 8-member party, as that’s what made the ending battle of OT2 so epic. But I agree with the sentiments - a customizable silent protagonist seems heavily out of place in this world. Although if they keep up the level of writing for the recruitable characters’ stories, then it should still be a treat. God help me, a game that actually makes me eventually consider a Switch 2.
