I've played plenty of good games that have ranked as low as 64 on metacritic.

I just got EU4, I nearly jizzed all over my laptop. Though it is a little easier than EU3, IMO.

In regards to Metacritic, I don't really trust their professional reviews. To go back to TW, they gave Empire and Rome 2 amazing reviews, when most players were profoundly pissed off.

I cant get unto eu. Its way too complicated.

Plus theres no set goal, games like that are instantly eliminated from my interest

I'm gonna be starting up my own GTA V game here when I get up.

Deathstroke has a really stupid bossfight.  You have to time your counters properly to block his sword swings fine but the promt shows up whether it is a counter moment or not.  Which is weird since Arkham was praised for transparency in enemies.  Great the one thing you changed WB Mont

Just a matter of timing with his moves, Kef.  I watched a livestream of that boss fight last night.  All about solid timing and... well, like Deathstroke himself advises, watching for openings.

... using the Batclaw combo helps, too.

I wish I could use gadgets but the sword duel counter thing is a qte

It's out already?

for awhile

Feeling quite proud of myself right now. Recently started playing Super Mario Sunshine again after rage quitting a year back due to two particularly assholish levels. Well, not only did I beat them, but I did so one after the other and in just two to three lives each.

All in all, today was a good day.

I could never get into Sunshine for some reason. Probably the characters being so unlikeable.

[Art Vandelay]

It's a Mario game, all the characters have the personality of cardboard (at least, the main Mario series does). It's the gameplay, and in Sunshine's case, the aesthetic, that's the main attraction.
