I like the Chromatics album but it’s different to the last one.

Still do a double take now again when I remind myself I’m playing this on a handheld and it looks so amazing.

Have them parry, defend, heal etc. until they're all ready.

Sylvando The characterisation, story telling, direction and localisation in this is magnificent, one of the finest story driven games this generation.

@Cacophanus is actually a decent writer to be fair, his stuff on Forbes is good.

Someone doesn’t understand addiction.

Oh man, how close was Street Fighter?!

Breath of The Wild.

I think you’re being a tad obtuse there @footlefirst of all paying full price for a game isn’t playing it for free, and secondly the fact that you earlier stated something along the lines of “the majority people hear subscription or cloud gaming and they assume it’s Netflix for games” just goes to prove how people’s minds work, or how it was implied. Yes they’ve since cleared up that it’s not like Game Pass, PS Now or Apple Arcade, but we still don’t really know what to expect games wise from their service, unless I’ve missed something. And ignoring that we have no idea when the full service even starts ie the “free” 1080p one. I mean just look at the last page or so to see how people are confused over their messaging - implied or otherwise. Now you can blame the individual but it’s up to Google too sell us this thing.

It’s a shame they didn’t include cross play with the PC version or something.

Is docked mode unplayable or something?

I think their marketing and messaging has been extremely poor throughout. I think it’s fair to say that most people were pretty perplexed at their pricing structure which so far has basically been that you pay for each game individually at full price as you would on any other platform, and that it’s not the disruptive model we’d been lead to believe. Now whether that’s down to media reporting or whatever it’s up to Google to manage those expectations. For example, being able to seamlessly jump into a game at any point that someone is streaming on YouTube, do they just charge you full price for that game, do you get 30 minutes on it, or a rental for a couple days for £3.49, or what? It’s that type of thing where they’ve really fallen down IMO. And it’s not that difficult. Microsoft have Game Pass but they’ve said that structure and pricing for xcloud will be announced at a later date following the Beta. Their messaging is clear. Stadia comes out in a few weeks time yet there is still a lot we don’t know.

If the majority of people believe it then it’s implicit. And they did say that games would come with the subscription service, the first being Destiny 2, they’ve just not commented on what exactly will follow that or when, same with a lot of other stuff.
