Raziel Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Yeah, US internet can best be described as "If you live within 50 miles of NYC, Philly, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, DC, or LA, you're good. If not, LOL". 1

RIPPA Posted September 30, 2022 Author Posted September 30, 2022 Apparently, Google gave no notice (not surprisingly) to Stadia employees or devs that it was happening https://kotaku.com/stadia-google-bungie-destiny-2-cyberpunk-2077-red-dead-1849601243 Kinda negates any good will from giving people refunds
Craig H Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 It's almost like Phil Harrison is a complete piece of shit and nearly a scam artist. There hasn't been a game company he has touched that didn't either turn to shit or nearly turn to shit. I still remember Alex Navarro when he was with Giant Bomb at the time tweeting something at Phil about Stadia and Phil, like a dick, was like "we're doing better than Giant Bomb." Alex the other day took the high rode, sorta, as he still found a way to dunk on the guy or rather the companies that still pay this grifter obscene amounts of money. 1

I don't think any of us Stadia subscribers are surprised by the killing of the service, just bummed. Was never my go to for AAA titles and I think I only ever actually purchased one title individually but the 3-5 games a month from the $10 Stadia Pro subscription resulted in me playing a lot of indie titles I wouldn't have otherwise. Going have to figure out what platform I need to buy Little Big Workshop and Hundred Days for.
Andrew POE! Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 I sorta wish Google would give Stadia subscribers the option to download/install games they've purchased to a physical storage if they don't want refunds on everything. It's very much a rip-off to cut off the service in January 2023 (I didn't buy anything on Stadia, I'm just thinking of those who have).
Doragon Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 I'm playing the first Pokemon Stadium JP, the one that wasn't released to the west.
Andrew POE! Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 Got my 263rd Platinum trophy with Babylon's Fall for PS4. Honestly, it really isn't a bad game. The gameplay is solid and fun. It's essentially DMC lite meets Destiny. The story is incomprehensible, but so is Destiny's. It took me about 2 weeks to Platinum it, so it's possible to start it now and get it done fast. 1
twiztor Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 @Andrew POE!i am not a trophy hunter (thank the gods, since i mostly play retro games on retro systems!) but i always enjoy your posts about your latest platinums. i'm always excited to see your updates. thank you. 1
Andrew POE! Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Got my 264th Platinum trophy with Babylon's Fall on PS5. Graphically, no different than the PS4 version. 1

odessasteps Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 You’’d think San Jose Would be in the top ten, right?

Death From Above Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 I swear I heard a story about old people in San Antonio raising a massive stink about internet towers that resulted in roll out of the best internet there getting delayed a few years ago. Maybe it was some other city in Texas I'm thinking of.
Andrew POE! Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Got my 265th Platinum trophy with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for PS3. The same game as the PS4 version - I figure I go ahead and do this even though I've done a lot of grindy games. 1
FireThunder Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 On a whim, I decided to pick Gwent back up. I hadn't played in several months but I was kinda bored of the other games I was playing and wanted to do something different for a while. After crafting some of the cards that were released this year, I started at rank 20 on the ladder. Last night, I made pro rank for the first time, the equivalent of legend in Hearthstone. I mainly played Monster and Scoia'tael decks so I probably won't have time to get the 25 games in two other factions required for ranking at the end of the season by the time the ladder resets tomorrow night. But it's a solid finish that I can build on for next season. 1
grilledcheese Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 @Andrew POE!would be proud of my 6 year old. He clocked his first Platinum today, finishing up the trophies on Donut County. Hooray for my 100%er!! 3

I sorta wish there was a sequel coming instead of Neon White, but hey I'm glad the developer got to do what he wanted. Just don't have your 6 year old do Dark Souls. Yet. 2
Death From Above Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Is anyone else feeling absolutely starved for a new action RPG that isn't something requiring a degree in calculus (Path of Exile, Grim Dawn), or a game made by a company owned and run by literal criminals (everything Activision/Blizzard)? 2
Zimbra Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 I mostly know Fandom from them making fan wikis totally unusable with ads so, yeah, probably not great news for anybody. 1 2
