Well, this is quite embarrassing. I still haven’t played Tacoma, but I have a good reason: I was quite positive that Steve Gaynor of Fullbright was pranking me. I bought the game for Xbox One and, at release, that version of the game simply did not work. I took to Twitter, where several days later, Gaynor informed me that the best work-around for getting the game to launch involved me deleting all of my Xbox 360 save games on my Xbox One. It’s the kind of solution that I’m sure worked but also sounded like telling your buddy to stick his iPhone in the microwave if it got wet.
