Order of release is probably best as the evolution of the combat and gadgets is more natural, but story wise it's a little less jarring going from Arkham City to Origins when City and Knight are so similar. Either way you can't go wrong.
The release order is basically the chronological order, with origins being the only exception. But i don't think you'd be gaining much from playing that one first storywise.
It would also mean that the quality of the games would just be going downhill for you, since asylum and Origins are imho the best.
maybe I just find the over exposure of BATMAN annoying? 90 percent of things involving DC comics in the last 5 years has been batman this, batman that, "oh something not related to batman? let's throw him in anyways for the kidz"
it's gross
I think I will stick with release order, and look at Origins more as a flashback. Thanks for all the tips guys.

Well shit, I was all excited to play ABZU, didn't think about how my Xbox One controller wouldn't work after I updated Windows 10...

Shogun II units need more morale. I don't want them instantly routing when outnumbered 4-to-1.
If only they fought like Greenskins.
Anime gifs are so last gen. All about the nature gifs, now.
Kinda makes me want to replay it, honestly. I must experience this for myself!

I must have updated after that 3 hour period, because as soon as I tried to play Hitman after work (the day the update released) my X1 Elite worked fine.

Ain't working for me, I keep connecting to the wireless thing and then it turns off anytime I launch a game. I'll see if I have another update to install.
EDIT: reinstalled the wireless dongle driver, that fixed it.
I was fine with my 256gb until WoW ballooned from 30gb to 50gb overnight and now I feel constrained. I sort of wish I had grabbed one of the prime day deals but I'm sure I can make due until holiday deals start showing up.
Speaking of batman, I'm watching Batman vs Superman for the first time right now. It suuuuuuucks. What were they thinking?

Wow I can't remember the last time I had a broken game experience quite on the level of TellTale's Batman. Researched multiple fixes for the black screen and none of them stuck. The game worked fine on launch day, but seemed to be rendering at way lower than 4K. Also Telltale is trying to place the blame on drivers with the newly added "have you updated your drivers" launch warning. Truly a special experience. With relatively limited gaming time and a long work week of looking forward to it, thanks! At least Abzu worked, even if the performance was sketchy at times (at 1080p on a 1080 wtf).
Steam version of God Eater 2 will run at 60fps. Oh my god yes.
Very nice by the looks of it.
Seeing all these kind of games on Steam / PC over the years makes me yearn for a Steam / PC Portable Handheld thing. Ideally I'd love to see some kind of pass through capability to us a mobile phone screen with some PC hardware that it could be hooked up to, and play these more simple PC games. A man can dream.
Yeah this is dope.
I want to see more companies do this sort of thing even if it is just a small gameplay snippet. It gives a lot of faith in the product to see it perform well. It would have been nice to have a quick glance at the settings that can be used too. Really this should be done for all platforms to show people what they are getting. PC in particular could do with this, where often multiplatform games just get stuck with either console footage or some CG crap
Im shocked.

Looks like I installed it with no issues. But downloading the drivers is taking a bit due to my slow internet

i'll also throw a recommendation of alpha protocol
game's really rough around the edges but it's some of the greatest choice and consequence i've seen. i've beaten it like 6 times and i kept finding new, surprising stuff on playthrough 6
the game's really transparent about it too so it's really enjoyable to have like a sandbox that lets you play with its story in a way that the telltale stuff or other cinematic rpgs like mass effect and the witcher don't. you can shape the story a whole bunch (within a general set narrative, ofc) so you end up betraying people or getting betrayed, you meet a lot of fun characters, your decisions have repercussions on which passive effects you get going into missions, into what dialogue options you get, or what stuff vendors sell, it's awesome
also if u play it some disclaimers:
- for most people the early parts are kind of boring. i can see that being the case, but stick with it cos after the first chapter the game opens up and becomes super duper good
- some parts of the game have some pretty weird difficulty spikes. for that reason i recommend going to moscow first and doing rome and taipei later
- hope around freely between cities, there's no penalty for doing that and there's actually some cool color dialogue about it
- no matter what you do get the pistol skill tree maxed out or at least get two points into chain shot. that basically guarantee that you can get unstuck of any rough encounter in the game
that's it!
go play it!
Looks like Quakecon QuakeWorld 2v2 finals are just about to start. Quake Live duel finals after that.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Yep. The longer we wait, the better the situation gets. I'm sitting pretty happy at 256gb now, anyway. I'm not even delusional about it. I only play a few games at a time. Right now, my main hurdle is all my Vive games being installed. I keep them all on there since those are short experiences and you don't just play them through like traditional games.
*raises hand*
Contacted you via PM.

Download new driver, download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), run DDU and follow instructions to uninstall drivers from safe mode, turn off PC, replace cards, turn on PC (Windows should install generic display drivers), install new drivers you downloaded.
I think that that's it.

Okay this A2MR game is pretty good. Crazy how good a fangame is and how pitiful Federation Force looks...
What game?

Turning off Steam Cloud and deleting prefs.prop in Documents\Telltale Games\Batman The Telltale Series did it for me.

Alright got it, added to Steam etc. But Nintendo doesn't C&D unless it's for sale.

never happening
Nintendo hasn't shut down any Metroid 2 remake, at least not in recent memory, so no need to be in such a hurry.
that's good to hear, i downloaded it but haven't played it yet
zero mission is a great template too, that game is super duper cool

Hey I believed you but T-Mobile gave it to me for free so there we go.
You would have seen Gigli if you were given free tickets?

Neither worked for me unfortunately. Also tried unplugging controller and starting off in Win 7 mode after deleting the entire My Docs folder. Worked temporarily and reverted to black screen on next launch.
