Batman gets mature rating in Arkham Knight

It´s interesting to see that Batman has finally gotten a mature rating instead of a teen rating, because the adventures of Batman aren´t that sweet and I think that with a mature rating the developers can show a more intense story than with the teen rating. Of course it remains to be seen how good this game is and what exactly makes this game so scary.


Why is it good that a Batman game gets a mature rating?


This mean less Batman Forever or Batman and Robin stuff and some more Batman and Batman Returns things going on in Arkham Knight. In other words things will get darker and a bit more scary. I don´t think mature means sex in a Batman game but it´s not impossible, something that Metal Gear Solid 3 proved. From what I saw in the trailers it´s most likely about some scary faces, I´m not even talking about Two Face but Scarecrow is now probably the scariest character in the game. Hopefully this mature rating means a story that is truly worthy for Batman, not that Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are bad but good can always be better!


But this means that some younger fans will be missing out, right?


Well I´m not so certain about that, if you´ve ever played a first person shooter that´s also rated mature then you probably know that there are a lot of kids in multiplayer. So I doubt that this will stop kids from playing this game, maybe it will become a bit harder for them to get the game but I have no doubts that kids will play Arkham Knight.


So this will be an everything or nothing Batman game?


It´s going to be the last Batman game made by Rocksteady Studios so I´m not surprised if certain people will die, but how this all will happen still remains a mystery and so does the identity of the Arkham Knight. I guess we´ll all have to be patient and wait till June...

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
