DC, Marvel & comic book video games: The Thread!

I started playing the first ep of the new Batman game. It's really good. Steam reviews are bashing it because of glitches/bugs/etc. Knock on wood, I've not experienced any of this in my first 90+ mins. (I'm also playing w/ kb+m, and I noticed a lot of complaints about controllers...)

Anyway, I'm enjoying the story a lot - Harvey Dent is a major part of this episode. There's a good mix of the usual Telltale choose-your-own-adventure stuff, some QTE fighting, and some detective work. Good stuff.

Though I am a little bummed that I'll have to wait between episodes. With these episodic games I usually wait until all episodes are out and then play em back to back.

I've only ever tried The Walking Dead game by Telltale and I like it at all. That said I hate the show so I'm interested in giving them another try. I have The Wolf Among Us sitting on my Xbone and Batman is enough to intrigue me here too, so I'll hopefully give one or the other a try soon.

For me the last comic book inspired game I played was The Incredible Hulk on the Genesis. I honestly don't know how some of these companies managed to screw up very simple concepts back in that era. Like, it's the Hulk. Just make sure there's a lot of enemies and give him 3-4 satisfying beat down moves. But no instead we get bland level design with the Hulk fighting a bunch of robots that look exactly the same and take too many hits, especially when.....say it with me....you're the freakin Hulk. Not a good game.
