Will you try to 100% Batman: Arkham Knight?

I’m tapping out I’m done withBatman: Arkham Knight. I have to be. After wrapping up the main storyline, which ends strong and is worth experiencing first-hand, I went after those pesky side missions. The Perfect Crime (serial killer), Creature of the Night, and Heir to the Cowl quests were satisfying.

(Update) Xbox Series X is launching on Thanksgiving

Power your dreams [Update:Microsoft was quick to shut this one down. Xbox’s Major Nelson sent out the following tweet that claims the Thanksgiving date was an error, and that Xbox Series X is still set for the vague window of “Holiday 2020.” That probably makes sense considering the logistical nightmare of trying to launch a new console on a major US holiday.] An Xbox product page in some regions inaccurately listed the launch date for Xbox Series X as Thanksgiving 2020....

Upon being dropped into the new starting area, I was instantly awed by the overwhelmingly cool visual aesthetic of an East Asian-themed kung fu panda village. Small changes made to the graphics engine have allowed Blizzard to make the game look and run even better than what we initially saw inCataclysm....

Set in post-war Austria (I forgot to ask which war… whoops), players control Wilt, a deserter turned criminal-for-hire.
