CIG says their switch to Amazon's Lumberyard engine made these complaints irrelevant,

This seems weird?

So if I sign a contract with someone to use their product and to promote it, I can then just say "Yeah but I went with another product, so it's not valid anymore!" That seems very odd. What's to keep a professional athlete from breaching a contract this way? "Sure, I signed with the Dodgers saying I'd play for them for six years, but I'm playing for the Yankees now, so that's an irrelevant complaint."

Very, very weird.

If Crytek had said nothing, few would have ever noticed that CIG rejected their engine in favor of another...it was a bizarre suit from day one. It's what happens when you admit lawyers to the boardroom. Lots of billable man-hours to show for it, I'm sure

Except it's not even that.

Can anyone imagine a super adv tech future where AI/robotics won't be doing every single mundane task for us? Even today, just about every aspect of space launches/flight is computer controlled.

I don't want to buy my favorite RPG in the fucking Windows Store....

This has been my sentiment all along. I gave MS Win10 exclusives its first go with Gears of War 4. The entire process, from finding the game, to purchasing, downloading, installing, and playing was so cumbersome and frustrating from beginning to end that I swore to never touch another Win10 exclusive again. A few peeps told me that my stance was unreasonable, and not wanting to be an unreasonable fellow, I recently bought State of Decay 2. While admittedly a bit better of an experience than the first time around, the process was still 10 times more lengthy and cumbersome than the same process on Steam, GOG, or Origin. So yeah, I'm done with MS Win10 exclusives. Call me when they release their games on real platforms.

FOV Slider: We haven’t supported FOV sliders in our previous games as it is known to break a lot of animations and causes a lot of clipping to occur onscreen. You do have the option to zoom out in third person on PC by holding View and moving the mousewheel, but we won’t be able to have it for first person view.

The driver of the getaway car is just as guilty as the corner watchout.

No, AT&T needs to wait until infringement is proved before disconnecting anyone. Innocent before being proven guilty and all that. Taking the lazy way out is not acceptable and should not be tolerated.

The family can just switch to another ISP. There's lots of choices.

Oh, wait...

The practice harkens back to feudal Japan, where if one family member committed a crime bad enough, they would execute the entire family.

Only in feudal Japan the family was not given 9+ notifications of pending execution with offers of preventative measures.

Considering how expensive Blizzcon is, saving a 3rd party licensed mobile game for your #1 news announcement seems pretty stupid to me.

This would have been fine as a companion release to a full PC game (a la Fallout Shelter) or announced outside of Blizzcon, but this shouldn't have been considered a big announcement.

This is all fine if there is a very negligible performance hit. Otherwise in practice it is a tech demo.

Currently the game is not taxing higher end systems. I have a GTX 1080 Ti and with the latest build I'm getting up to 140fps - there are still framerate drops but the introduction of Object Container Streaming has dramatically improved performance. Given that the game is expected to be developed for a decade after release (or as long as there is interest) it makes sense to look for future-proof solutions. Note how this was all running in real-time without any observed slowdown, which bodes well.

I have to disagree with you on that. On my machine with high-settings at 4K, Star Citizen hovers between ~20-30 FPS. For comparison, here's the frame rate for big open-world games in 4K at their highest settings. GTA5 (60), AC Origins (60), AC Odyssey (50), and Wildlands (40). Star Citizen needs optimization, but understandable that it doesn't have it in its current state.

MP1 & 2 was Remedy - Rockstar had nothing to do with them. They did do 3, though, and I thought 3 was a pretty smart story in a pretty fun game. I have Alan Wake for PC, never touched it, maybe some day.

Beamer wrote on Oct 22, 2018, 10:12:
But yeah, Spider-Man looks good, Last of Us was pretty fun (had its issues, I hated some of the enemies) and I'd love to play a sequel, HZD looks great, Last Guardian looks great, and if you haven't done Uncharted, while also not without issues (combat can draaaag) those games are must-plays.

I still think I'd go Xbox over PS4, if only because I prefer the controller, but your post has me questioning this, as what game is Xbox exclusive that I'd grab? Halo? I don't think I'm much interested in the Halo games anymore...

I started TW3 but didn't get past the tutorial. For me it's just not enjoyable if I know I don't have the time to commit to a game properly and my youngest son is just three weeks old, so priorities. I can't wait until I have a solid chunk of time to get into a game like TW3 but it's probably not for a few months.

That said, my three year old son is already an avid gamer so at least we're going to be share that enjoyment of gaming growing up. I look forward to building him a system with all my hand-me-down parts. He plays Fortnite Battle Royale and kills a surprising number of other players.

Cyberpunk 2077 comes out next year. Just an FYI.

Honestly, if I don't play what's likely to be the best game since The Witcher 3, because it isn't coming to my preferred platform soon enough, I feel as if I'm really only hurting myself.

That's fair enough. However, I still have yet to play The Witcher 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor or Battlefield 1 for more than ten minutes, even though I've had them for a while now. Having young children means I have to prioritise my time and because my girlfriend games on XB1 I mostly play Fortnite with her on my PC.

The Witcher 3 will swallow your soul for a few weeks. Of the rest, I bought DX:MD for $10 and have yet to install, I thought Shadow of Mordor was actually pretty boring and bad, and meh to Battlefield.

But yeah, if you like action adventure games with good plots, TW3 will just own you, so start it when you have time.
