Well, it looks like somebody needs to read better. (me. that somebody me.)

The house might not be, but Tarrytown is, and as far as I know, you have to get the house to unlock the Tarrytown quest line.

This baffled me! I played for a little while using mouse and keyboard (usually the only place I try to rebind keys) and was like “whoa! I can make sprint and dodge a totally different button!”

“Ugh” is right. I was one riddler trophy away from 100%-ing Arkham City, but I just couldn’t get it. Spent hours. Eventually just gave in. It took all I had to give. 

Find thriftier ways to game. It used to be nothing to me to just drop $60 on a new game I was passively interested in, but in the past year I’ve gone from dude with a girlfriend and a cheap ass mortgage to married, father of 2 with a significantly more expensive mortgage. (We got married, she had a son already, we had…

Hades is one of the much better rogue-lites I’ve played, as someone who also generally dislikes them. It’s a good game, but I don’t really understand all the outlets including it on their best if the year lists. 

I would say this about Batman Forever way before Batman and Robin.

Haha, I was wondering what would happen if I tried to refund it. But I’ve already played well past the two hour window, and it’s not so bad I’d want a refund anyway.

Yeah, it’s definitely the way to go for you then. If you’re just trying to dip your feet back in, I’d say look into a Ubisoft+ account. $15 a month for access to a handful of pretty solid games. Ubi gets a lot of grief for all their games being pretty formulaic - and they are - but they usually deliver a pretty solid…

Yeah, it was part of a pre-order bundle, then they extended it. It was supposed to go through till today, but they closed it early (just a day before I ordered, *whew*). Not sure why, but the deal said “while supplies last” so I guess they...stopped lasting.

I actually don’t mind the shooting! It’s one of the stronger elements of the game for me. But I didn’t know that about the cyber ware, so thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep that in mind when I get back into it.

Yeah, Stadia does have a certain comfort to it, and I think that comes from portability and accessibility, similar to the switch. I played AC Syndicate on my phone yesterday. Plus, games launch so fast, it’s nice to not have to wait the six months it takes for PS4 to turn on and load into the game. I just push a…

I was only kind of interested in it. I ended up buying it on Stadia because a) it plays well there, and b) free Chromecast and Stadia controller. But honestly, even without the bugs and technical madness (which I haven’t run into a lot of), this is not that worthwhile of a game. Granted, I’m not far into it, and there…

I’m not fully on board but am slowly becoming a stadia convert while trying not to spend money on a next gen system (plus, playing games on my old ass MacBook is really nice). I just need Ubisoft to add performance mode to the AC games (specifically Unity and Syndicate, but the others would be nice too) and Fenyx…

I play stadia on my tv by just running an HDMI from my laptop to my soundbar and using a PS4 controller over bluetooth. Works well, no lag for me so far. But I’ve only been using it to play Cyberpunk and Destiny 2 mostly. I’ve been pretty impressed with it so far and hope it succeeds.

1. Bloodborne

It didn’t even let me do anything with genitals. The options were greyed out in the character creator 🤷‍♂️

Yes! Things being locked behind a quest is another big one.

Has anyone seen a write up of how the game does on Stadia in terms of performance/bugs? I’m surprised it’s received such little coverage. Seeing as I probably won’t have a PS5 for a while now, I’ve been thinking about going the Stadia route. It’s the easiest way for me to play games at 60 FPS (when available,…

I wonder if the difference between games you can get into and the games you can’t involve how often they break the flow. Like, AC games (Ubisoft games in general) are so good at putting players effortlessly into a flow state and then stopping them in their tracks for bonkers reasons. Tedious environmental puzzles…
