Steam says 12 hours, but I'm pretty sure I've left it on pause more than half that time. My current save says ~20% of the story is complete. |

I think Mira's story is the one most influenced by established characters from the books/TV, with her being drawn into some of the intrigue between Margaery, Cersei and Tyrion. Ramsay continues to act as an antagonist, but more in the form of occasionally coming in to ensure there is conflict between the two sides (he probably has the best portrayal of any of the established characters). There was less of Jon Snow than I expected. I'd be interested to see what you think of the later episodes. |

Yeah i'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the later episodes. Because it only goes downhill from episode 1. But yes, every scene with Ramsay Bolton is great and quite tense. But I think Dany's appearance felt the most forced and out of place. Edited by Red Panda, Nov 30 2015, 11:31 AM.

Ok, so you're still in the honeymoon phase with the Batmobile. I look forward to hearing how you feel about it after some of the later missions. |

I'm starting to see what people mean by your choices feeling superfluous. Spoiler: click to toggle

5 episodes in and it's quite a wet fart. The story cheaply creates drama by endlessly churning more despair out of the Forrester's powerlessness. It worked in the season opener, but it's now routine and boring. They actually get some agency in episode 4, but it's shat on immediately. It'd be okay if the villains kept on winning if they weren't so viscerally unlikeable. And so boring! There's not one villain who's not a one-dimensional oaf who boasts about how pathetic you are. I guess you could appreciate the despair and the futility of your actions if it meant anything in a thematic sense, but it's just Game of Thrones, and the constant tragedy needs to be countered with some poetic justice every now and then. Hopefully episode 6 has some of that. Episode 5: Spoiler: click to toggle

Well, I'm all done and the honeymoon didn't end ![]() I'm not sure what all the complaining is about? I never felt like I was forced to use the Batmobile, except during the few short battle sequences and optional side quests. As for those, I actually enjoyed them. My only gripe is there's no car wash option to clean your dirty muddy Batmobile! |

I played the first episode of Tales of the Borderlands on the weekend. It is surprising how different the world feels when you aren't pointing a gun at everyone you meet in the game. I liked the part near the beginning where it looked like they were going to do the traditional Borderlands opening of some vehicle running over a skag, except this time they seem traumatised at the idea they might have killed it. They've got a decent cast of voice actors, and the writing is great. It makes me wonder what happened with the team developing Game of Thrones. I also started playing Saints Row IV again. I had bought the PS4 version for Gat out of Hell, but never got around to playing the game's DLC. The game has crashed a few times, which is disappointing, but it is as much fun as ever. I've got to the point in the story line where both DLC missions have been unlocked, but it might be worth upgrading my character a bit more before starting them. |

We generally don't know what Andy is on about. So I skipped origins as it bored me but I quite liked Arkam city. Do you think Knight is worth picking up? |

Sure, maybe I'm more cranky than most, but it felt so awkwardly out of place - especially given how much the vehicle slams into buildings and causes destruction. Or its 'non-lethal' electric shock that it shoots out at enemies. Did you not find that it was frustrating that the final fight with the main enemy is essentially a crappy tank fight? |

I think it's still worth picking up for the story alone. You can borrow it if you like. |

Arkham Asylum and City were great and I also agree Origins was quite boring. However, Arkham Knight feels like a return to form, but with more. I think you'll like it. |

Haha I did find it funny I could put pedal to the metal and run into bad guys and not kill them. I remember the big tank fight towards the end, but... Spoiler: click to toggle
