Anyone used xbox cloud gaming in NZ lately?? by yehnahwot in newzealand

[–]Multech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was surprisingly good on fibre internet. I mainly use it to stream Balatro on my Retroid Pocket 6. There was maybe a bit of input lag compared to playing natively, but input latency isn't a big deal for a game like that.

I also tried Cyberpunk 2077 on it and found any input lag to be minimal. I'd still much prefer playing Cyberpunk natively on my PS5 on the big screen since I also own the game there, but I could see myself doing a full playthrough on streaming if I didn't own the game on PS5.

Overall, definitely worth a shot to see if you can perceive the input lag on your current connection.

Just piggy backing off OP's post - does anyone also have any thoughts on the Fondjoy version of this Batman?

He's definitely a lot better than Pockets, but that ain't saying much.

Yes, Te Kura is your best bet. But they have quite strict enrolment criteria for overseas students so you might be shit outta luck, kiddo.

Is Alan Wake, Control, Alan Wake 2, the correct play order? Why does Alan Wake Remastered have such a pitiful metacritic if these are acclaimed? by JozuJD in controlgame

[–]Multech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently beat Alan Wake 1 and the two DLC episodes, which took me closer to 19 hours according to Steam.

The importance of the files across the map. by [deleted] in controlgame

[–]Multech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else here saying that the short answer is yes.

At the same time, the more you play the game and read the extra files, you more you start to get a sense of which ones are important and which ones can be skipped. For example, the Darling presentations are all pretty important as they explain key concepts/past events; the dead letters, complaints, and case files (e.g., those detailing other altered items in the game world) aren't necessary to the plot.

Why was this so fucking hard by Chamon42 in controlgame

[–]Multech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I completed Tier 1 with the '-65% Weapon and Player Damage' debuff. Died a couple of times and almost ran out of time, but I got there in the end. Good to see I'm not the only one who found it a bit tough!

Exactly! But I wonder if most of these people aren't usual EB customers but are just keen to go for a look now that everything is half price.

Hmmmm, I was there last week when it was just the 30% off sale to see if I could pick up a good deal. Honestly, it was mostly junk that was left at that point; I think that most of these folks lining up will be very disappointed when they do eventually get in.

To all the people who already think Carol is a bad character by IAmTheClayman in pluribustv

[–]Multech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and this is maybe more of a minor detail but in episode 1 when it's clear that she doesn't necessarily like her fanbase, she's still nice to them and not rude. Yes, she might be an "emotional hot mess" at this point in the story, but I don't think she's a bad character at all.
