PS.

Totally. Despite me enjoying my time with it, I'd recommend to wait for it to come on a subscription service (which it should in about 6 months time, I guess).

True. Even I've played around that much and it's pretty enjoyable, overall. So far, skills have unlocked at a decent rate and that's why the combat is quite enjoyable. But there are 3 major issues I have with the game: - The grind is there, but it's kinda okay. I don't like the fact that there are things I have to do with all 4 characters which are exactly the same. That's kinda off-putting. - I've said this before but the looting mechanics seem tacked on and the game could've been so much better without it. - The boss fights are a joke. Only the first Clayface boss fight was somewhat decent since it involved a chase through the city. But barely so... After the chase, it became a case of just hitting them endlessly (equivalent of bullet sponge) until they're done. Same for the first boss fights with Dr. Freeze and Harley Quinn, too. Haven't got around to the second boss fights with them.

Not disagreeing with you entirely, but 'trouble' may not always be the reason. Even ND had some high-profile departures (Christoph Balestra, co-founder IIRC) over the years but there weren't speculation of any trouble there. Sometimes, studio heads (founders) just want to try something new which they know they can't do at the current studio, partially due to it's size and/or commitments of the studio, or sometimes simply because their new idea won't go well with the type of games the studio is known for. So many senior devs have set-up brand new indie-level studios over the last few years.

Me (or technically, my brother and we game-share). BTW, the gameplay difference between FIFA 22 and FIFA 23 is quite a lot (more so this year, than it generally is).

There's a difference between knowing a few tid-bits before launch (pretty much things shown in official trailers/videos) and having the main part of the entire story ruined. All it takes is one ̶b̶a̶d̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ stray tweet.

Sadly, I don't see it on BookMyShow at all. It's this not going to release in India? If so, streaming when? And will it be on Disney+ Hotstar?

Any other phrases or words I should block?

Gotham Knights

Sorry, I don't think there's a "post" credit. Tecnically, It's mid-credit.

Gone Gold!

4K/40FPS for me. Thank you, SSM.

True. In this movie too, Shazam is simply absent. I found that weird!

Well, nothing was announced for so long, so everyone thought that Cavill left. Now, Man Of Steel 2 seems inevitable. And some Supes vs Black Adam kinda movie too, somewhere down the line. Also, the cheers I was talking about were similar to this... https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cj8reqEgURW/?igshid=MDlmYmQ2NmI=

Yeah, the game unlocked at midnight yesterday. ₹3,499 on IN PSN.

Yeah, the whole 60FPS thing is a total non-issue (I didn't mention anything about it at all, in my first impressions post above) for me. Personally, I feel it's being blown way out of proportion. I might be done with the story by then, so... No promises!

Leaked by DJ already. To whom he says, "Welcome Home" in the interviews and all. Duuuuuuuude. You missed the best part of the movie. Also, it's actually a mid-credits scene, not literally "post." The one after the flashy credits. That scene got the most hoots and cheers. So, it added to the experience.

Played about 5 hours or so of it. Liking it so far. Especially, the story, the writing, the cut-scene animations, and the depth of the characters. It properly satisfies the 'Bat-game' itch, and then some. The opening cut-scene is god-tier. Better than some movies, to be honest. About the other aspects of the game: I've never played the Avengers game, so I can't compare it to that. But, I get what most reviewers were complaining about. It has the looter mechanic built into the game, and while you're playing it, you realise that it's all kinda useless, at least till the point I've played it. I mean, if I'm Nightwing (or any other Bat-family hero), why do I care if an enemy dropped some random chemicals or whatever? It's so weird. Also, I guess it's part of this looter-genre thingy I guess, but the menus are so convoluted. Just too much text, IMO. Maybe it's more of a me-thing than the game's issue. I have a feeling I might just skim through the story, since it's shaping up to be quite good. There's another weird choice, too. Hear me out - One of the things they kinda promoted was how the 4 heroes have different traversal options (glider for Nightwing, cape for Batgirl, JL Tower for Robin, and Red Hood's powers) to free roam in the city. Turns out, those traversal mechanics are locked behind completion of certain type of side-missions. That part is fine, but where it gets kinda irritating is the fact that those missions appear randomly during the characters nightly patrol. That is what irritates me. It means that it's entirely possible, that on any given night, that kind of mission won't appear at all, because it's randomised. I might be judging the game too soon, but let's see... How I wish it was a simple story-driven SP game. It probably would've been considered a great game!

This is very well summarised. My thoughts are more or less on the same lines. Go, only if you like some decent set-pieces and visuals (just the theatre experience that you can't have at home and there's no other movie to watch). Otherwise, it's a proper action-oriented superhero movie. Pretty standard! The movie lacks in developing its characters. Wait for it to come to OTT. Also, the post-credit scene gave me goosebumps! It was so good to see "HIM" in the suit again...
