This is useful for updates so you're not bottlenecked as much (if you don't have automatic background updates set up).

Arkham Knight is decent except for the batmobile sections - as others have already mentioned.

I'd still argue it's better than Origins though. From memory, memorising all the different toolbelt skills isn't really necessary - you can definitely get through the game by just abusing jumps, cloak and counters - some special enemies might need a specific ability to make vulnerable, but the game normally warns you the first time you fight them, so I don't think it ever feels too overwhelming - it just feels like a lot if you run through it very quickly.

Have to disagree with you on echoes - I loved the game, but IMO it was much easier than Prime 1 - the most difficult boss was the probably the boost guardian midway through rather than any of the endgame bosses. The ammo system made the standard power beam too centralising which was boring, and the dark world damage just served to slow the player down, since the light fields regenerated your health.

No one's suggested it yet, so I'll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.

Holy shit, it's actually impressive to tank that hard - not cresting more than 1000 concurrent players in over a month, and hasn't been able to beat 5000 since November... I know people love throwing the 'dead game' meme around prematurely, but if this isn't dead yet, it's definitely got one foot in the grave.

But if it gets to the point where Ubisoft goes and every studio starts making their own, I don’t think that will work if they don’t have the game catalogue to support it, that would mean Ubisoft could just start churning out horrible games to build their stupid catalogue.

I feel like we're starting to see a rerun of the streaming service wars - if this takes off across the industry I can definitely see people going back to piracy. I don't want game pass, ubisoft+, Blizzard Prime, Nintendo Online Super Premium Expansion Pass or whatever stupid names these companies come up with just to play a few games that I'm interested in, just because they're spread across different publishers.

Android Debug Bridge - it's a tool you can use to access parts of Android you don't normally have access to directly on the phone.

Well Google has recently been forcing through its awful Web Environment Integrity proposal so...

Again, revenue. They report revenue because it's a nice big number, but it's different to profit (which is why a lot of people suspect they don't make much actual money, if any).

Revenue, sure - I don't believe Google shares profit numbers for Youtube separately to the rest of the portfolio. I could be misinformed though.

Like legit, some of these comments are utterly deranged. YouTube has ZERO competition in the mass market consumer space, everyone else is a niche player, and it's debatable whether YouTube even turns a profit despite that.
