followthewhiterabbit,

I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.

The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I’ll check them all out!

followthewhiterabbit,

Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!

I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you’d think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.

It just didn’t really explain what I needed to do. I don’t need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and ‘menial tasks’ to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn’t pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.

Abzu though, that was amazing!

I’ve got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I’ll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I’ll like this!

(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that’s why I haven’t jumped to it yet!)

followthewhiterabbit,

I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.

I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!

followthewhiterabbit,

Really glad you both suggested this game!

Am having an absolute blast playing!!!

followthewhiterabbit,

The Metroid Prime Remake was beautiful to see on my Switch. Really appreciated playing through that. I had to have a online walkthrough on hand, but that’s just me!

Well worth the price.

followthewhiterabbit,

Maybe ny fav game of the last 5 years. Control just took my breath away.

The Stephen King/Twin Peaks-feeling atmosphere I needed in a game, and yep, Jesse Faden was 100% my gym motivation for a solid month there!!

followthewhiterabbit,

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

followthewhiterabbit,

Can’t recommend playing it on Steam Deck enough. Amazing pick-up-and-play game that looks incredible on the screen!

followthewhiterabbit,

Comfort of my couch + TV on my Series X far outweighs whatever improvements sitting at a desk provides.

Xbox comes with comfort, and to me that is priceless

followthewhiterabbit,

I sit down, push one button on my Xbox controller to turn it on and another once more to play a game.

It is just a world easier to play a game on a console than it is on a PC. I'm sure we can be objective about this.

Indiana Jones Game Deal Amended to Exclude Playstation (www.pushsquare.com)

An Indiana Jones game, previously announced by Bethesda subsidiary MachineGames, was planned for multiple platforms – but the contract with Disney was amended following Microsoft’s buyout of the publisher. Confirmation comes as part of the Federal Trade Commission’s ongoing court case regarding the Redmond firm’s...

followthewhiterabbit,

Why?

followthewhiterabbit,

I've seen a lot of discussions on the batmobile being a let-down in the third game!

followthewhiterabbit,

Ye-es, pretty much what I worried it would be! A shame, since I love how it looks, but car-drivey-Batman doesn't seem too much of a winner to me :(

followthewhiterabbit,

Really interesting how many comments here think Knight is the better of the three!

followthewhiterabbit,

Hey, somehow I didn't even notice this?

I think you saved a lot of pondering, and made this whole post a bit pointless! Thanks so much, I just got it!

Now, I might as well start at the start!

followthewhiterabbit,

Actually looks like I'll only be playing through Asylum and City. Bought all three on my Steam Deck, but for some reason Knight is unsupported on there.

But, I'm happy to start with the original and enjoy it from there!

followthewhiterabbit,

Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I think if like me you are a total scardey-cat then it'll be an effort!

I adore the visuals, the world, how well it runs on my Steam Deck. I have a slight girl-crush on Claire (after a full-blown crush on Jill after playing RE:3 before this!), and a disctinct realisation that if a zombie apocalypse comes? I am toast.

The issue is I am terrible with scary games! But I am really quite taken with the world in the game!

5/7 so far

followthewhiterabbit,

Oh yikes.

Any idea what I should do? Maybe cancel the refund request and then...make the request again?

Ahhhhh damn my luck.

followthewhiterabbit,

Ah, to my card. Would that make a difference?

Thanks, I guess I'm just being a bit impatient, and worried.

followthewhiterabbit,

So, just got to be patient. Thanks, appreciate hearing that it can take some time!

followthewhiterabbit,

That's the strange part. A few days old and a total of 4 minutes play-time!

I just hope its maybe stuck in the system, like you said, for a few days.

I can't be frustrated, because the system exists for our benefit, I think I'm just mystified why it is taking some time!

followthewhiterabbit,

Yep, it was 100% a 'bigger' game, so I'm sure I'm just stuck somewhere in the mix. Everything I click in the support pages just takes me back to my already requested request for a refund, so can't even reach any live chat support.

My main take-away is to just be patient (it's so not in my nature!)

Appreciate your input and help by the way!

followthewhiterabbit,

Thank you so much for this! Your tips really help here. I'm almost ashamed (almost) to admit 99% of the games I've been playing so far have been non Steam games. So the, ah, 'legit' way of doing things is something I'm not so used to yet!

Sooo, are you able to explain how I turn automatic game updating off?

These are so great, I'm going to look through each mod you've recommended!

followthewhiterabbit,

All I want is that kinda standalone side 'campaign' which has Mark Hamill involved. How they could make that and sit on it is beyond me!

followthewhiterabbit,

Far and beyond a great experience.

Played through two and a half times on my Series X and it looks beautiful. The Series X is a powerful console, so you're still experiencing it the best way it can possibly be on console. The game is totally stable now and you're doing yourself a disservice by holding off.
