I mean, they may not resonate but having to learn what moves/terms mean is probably not the true reason. Literally every new game you purchase has new terms/things to learn. You’re entering into completely different worlds with new mechanics and terms all the time. The perceived complexity of pulling off/chaining said…

“I don’t want to be that guy but....”

Yeah, like being an Italian plumber, jumping on flagpoles and shit. Games. 

Ignore me, I misread...

As someone who traditionally hasn’t been a big MSoft fan/XBOx guy, I can say with 100% confidence that Gears Tactics is a terrific game. If you dig X-Com and that sorta thing, def check it out, even if it’s not on this new hardware. I almost overlooked it because of the Gears branding but it’s damn good. 

Great story. 

This is both depressing and actually kind of touching. These games came out originally during a time when I was going through my first big boy/real life crisis and the fun of playing and the music always stuck with me as a thing that helped me sorta cope with what I was going through at the time. I know it’s a…

It’s actually not too bad. The hardest part to get your head around is all the locations and names/people becasue you are interacting with them constantly. Like you, I’m always wary of “too much” to manage but this feels different for me (I’m 8 hours in). You can either micromanage to death or you can sorta let go of…

“what the point of having trophies” - better question. 

Sounds like you beat it today, please give us the full review.....

Sort of a weird roundabout but I get your sentiment. I have a 55" tv and there are still games out there that have silly tiny text with no option to make it bigger, making them hard to read. Annoying in 2020. 

I’ve actually read House of Leaves so that little vote of confidence makes me happy. Reinstalling! 

I need to give this another try. I grabbed Control the day it came out and something about the narration turned me off and after like two hours, I stopped. The “room with a poster, I saw behind the poster..the world is not the room..” just felt super hamfisted/goofy. That said, I 100% admit that I wasn’t in the right…

Thank God you are here. 

Thank God you got that off your chest. The way this guy had the nerve to say “for the last year OR SO” when he was talking about 8 months...I bet he fucking says “it’s almost 90 degrees outside” when it’s 87. Stay on these criminals. 

Also: when bullfighting 

Do you hate it that your corny schtick was already thought of by Whateverdude1, 2, 3, 4, and 5? So close. 

Absolute gem of a game.

Def hasn’t been on Switch.
