I played Athena then because I liked her design and after seeing her in Tales from the Borderlands. If I ever replay the game I would try the more “out there” option like Claptrap.

Honestly now that I wrote it out I remember TPS maps weren’t as fun as BL2’s hence me not replaying the game back then.


I finally 100% Arkham Knight after 9 years, completing all the Community Challenges trophies, including Requiem for a Killer challenge (the one where you have to do a 400±combo in a endless combat challenge to reach and defeat the secret boss).

Think I’m gonna install Red Dead Redemption 2 next. Finished RDR for the first time last year and wanna finish the sequel, which I started a few years back on the PS4 but dropped.

Having followed Kiryu from Yakuza 0, this sure looks to be a sad reunion

Maybe I’ll install the Dreamcast emulator on Vita and try it out


I grinded the endgame for the trophies. Thank god there are 12 different characters to cycle through or I’d have died of boredom. But the campaigns were fun, so I got my 5$ worth.


Thanks!

Took a look and it seems like I have to make my own repo?


Is there an alternative to Androidacy Module Manager?
I used Fox's Magisk Module Manager since its beginning, after Magisk shuttered the Module Manager function. It was a great app, perfectly serving my needs. After the app was transferred to Androidacy I felt like it got worse: more clunky, laggy, non-responsive. I also don't like how Androidacy regularly ask me to subscribe to their Premium tier. I held onto the old app for a while but recently updated to the new app and is quite dissatisfied. Is this still the best way to find and manage Magisk modules or is there an alternative? Thanks 🙏

I assumed you are on PC, oops 😅 both Spider-Man games are available there


You’re better off playing the two Spider-Man games, seriously, Spider-Man in this game sucks


Star-Lord plays like a third-person shooter, with special abilities. In battle, the other Guardians auto-battle, but you can issue commands to them to activate special skills. It’s more strategic in that nature.

In exploration and story, there are also decision-making moments that lightly alter the game.


Unlikely, given that Crystal Dynamics was sold by Square Enix to Embracer Group last year and had been the publisher since. I do understand the confusion: People being genuinely interested in something without monetary incentive? Unheard of.


GotG plays completely differently. You control Star-Lord, and as leader of the Guardians, issue commands to the others. It’s akin to a team-based RPG (I made the comparison in another comment, think FFXV). It has role-playing element in storytelling, the level are well-designed corridors instead of Avengers’ semi-open playbox. Coming out near and from the same publisher as Avengers really hampered GotG’s perception but it is a worthy experience.


Best part is that those additions are free so you cost nothing


GotG and its combat system gives me the same feeling as FF15. For a party gameplay, it’s a good system to develop the bonds between characters.


It’s fully playable offline now. All cosmetics DLC are unlocked from the start as well.


I tried the Open Beta. It was fine but not enough to make me fork over cash.

Well, it’s why we’re here anyway, to enjoy fully updated game at a fraction of the cost 🤣


Extra: Marvel’s Avengers lack of success led to less than stellar initial reception to another Marvel game of Square Enix, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021). The devs had to spend time before release clarifying that GotG is purely single-player, with no microtransaction whatsoever.

GotG is a fantastic game that was inspired by the MCU but still offers a distinct experience due to its heavy comic roots (Drax the Destroyer instead of Drax the Dadjoke, for example). If you want a more focused Marvel experience, GotG is the game for you.


You should give Marvel’s Avengers (2020) a try
Marvel's Avengers was a 2020 game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix Europe. It featured an original story and a roster of Avengers to play as (the game launched with 6 characters, with 5 more added as free update. If you play on PlayStation, you get Spider-Man as an exclusive as well). The gameplay loop is basically a "looter shooter" in which you run mission in a team of maximum 4 characters and get loots to improve your character. Let's just say that the game didn't perform as well as expected, especially for a property as hot as the Avengers (it was announced at E3 2019, after Endgame's release and the peak of the MCU popularity). It launched as a very poor game-as-a-service, with repetitive gameplay, bugs and lack of content. The characters play great, with very in-depth combat system, but the missions where you play them weren't particularly enticing. Also the microtransactions ('nuff said). While it received many substantial updates and expansion, Crystal Dynamics announced they would shutter support and delist the game from digital sale by September 30, 2023. It is as the game is about to get delisted that I finally decided to give it a chance. As of now, Avengers features a very meaty campaign and 3 major story expansions. Treating it as a single-player, the game has very fun and generally good writings, and is a chance to play an original Avengers story. There are a total of 11 characters (12 on PlayStation), all of whom features distinct and in-depth gameplay (yes, there are dupes like 2 Hawkeye and 2 Thor but even then they play differently enough). In preparation for the delist, all the cosmetic microtransactions have been unlocked and premium currencies reworked into one, so the game is fully playable solo and offline now. I bought the game on sale for basically dirt cheap and have been thoroughly enjoying my time with it. The story is enjoyable, it's fun to play as an Avenger (my favorite Avenger is Hawkeye, so having 2 of them is a bonus as well), the gameplay is fine enough to have fun, and while I enjoy playing solo, you can still play online with others as well. While it didn't live up to its ambition as a long-running GaaS (thank god for that) featuring multiple Avengers (slightly sadder, She-Hulk and Captain Marvel were rumored to be in the work, which were canned after the shutdown), I quite enjoy the game for what it is now: a single-player game with co-op components, multiple characters to choose and play, with fun writings and banters, and no microtransaction. It is a perfect okay-game to waste some time in. If anyone overlooked the game before, consider giving it a chance. The game is currently on sale on Steam and PlayStation for very cheap, and probably will again as we approach the delisting.

PS5 gives you PS5+PS4 games, it’s new and will get further support. Switch gives you access to many of the Nintendo library. If you can entertain modding, many old consoles are good multi-platform machines. PS3 for PS1-3 games, PS Vita for many handheld systems, 3DS for the DS library. Modded Switch is a good system for emulation as well, although I’m not familiar with its scene
