In addition to what’s noted under “Consider what you’re getting out of it”, it helps to be aware of one particular hard-to-break tendency many people share: the sunk cost fallacy. Sometimes a game doesn’t grab us right away, but sometimes it takes long enough that by the time you realize it, you think you should keep… Read more

I’m just grateful they made the hidden blade useful again. I like being able to pretty much one hit kill any enemy if I’m careful enough. That hasn’t stopped me from being chased by every guard in a city. It sounds like this ability would help me greatly when that happens. Read more

Generally, the best thing to do is to not add more games, even if they’re at their “best” price. I find it hard to enjoy games when I’m thinking about how many more are waiting for their turn for my attention. (This is especially true because I enjoy completing games...) Read more

The first thing I’m going to do, if it’s possible, is recreate that inverted scene from the movie. That said, I would like to now take the rest of my comment to show my admiration for Into the Spider-Verse. More movies like that, Sony! More animation like that, Marvel!

Buddy of mine did our first Nightmare Story mode last night, sadly he went down once so we didn’t get that Feat unlock, but I have some tips from our specific play through as newbies to that tier. We ran his assasin and my ronin.
