And don't even think about the Rift, it's garbage.

If theglaze's interest is solely in sim racing, then I think the Rift may be the better choice. My Rift has tracking and connectivity issues for roomscale and Oculus keeps releasing stuff for the gamepad and doesn't support Touch, but for cockpit/driving sims I hear it has better image quality (Elite) and less stutter (Project Cars).

Game performs well, but the driving sucks. And by sucks I mean cars are on rails/stick to the road. Would have prefered a halfway between more GTA driving. Co-Op is quite a bit of fun as well.

You can't go offroad? That's super disappointing.

Is this single player campaign as close as we'll ever get to playing Squadron 42?

I just can't imagine vehicles being fun in a call of duty game, especially in space.

Windows 7 is fully featured in my book, has mature drivers and just plain works. I guess if they added a Store, it would be as "fully featured" aka steaming pile of shit as W10 is.

Nonsense. Windows 7's ASLR implementation is far behind 8' and 10's. Even in Win8's case, security enhancements are more than worth putting up with whatever they do to the UI.

I'm just tired of this new trend of reintroducing 5 to 10 year old games. Rockstar should be announcing RDR 2, no?

I can't believe they had to make an announcement that they had working vsync. Good, I guess...?

I recommend the Fractal Design R5. Better build quality and nearly silent.

I'm guessing that you haven't played Metroid or Castlevania either, so you probably don't know what that means.

Yeah, I didn't play Metroid or Castlevania either and wasn't aware SS and SS2 are part of a series with those. Still, bad level design isn't getting better only because other games made the same stupid mistakes!

Ummm... with endless backtracking by elevator?

I was talking about SS2 here, you might have overlooked. I never played the original SS, but I remember having to go through several maps just to change elevators in SS2 which really was stupid level design...

They just build a small section of the original map.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up! But speaking of elevator, another thing that I hated about SS2 was the endless backtracking via elevator to levels you already had been to connected with very long loading times. How was this handled in the original System Shock?

I mean you wake up in Medbay and have to go through some pipe section with ladders to leave it? That doesn't make sense!

It doesnt. Therefore you leave the Medbay through the means of a central elevator. And the pipes section is nothing more than a normal utility section for the medbay machines and generators.

So are you saying that they either changed the level layout already in the demo or that the makers of the space station would force every injured person through the utility sections instead of hiding them away?

Yeah, thanks, I googled that right after I started the game for the first couple times and disabled the intro shit but it's still a principle thing. It shows that the game developer has zero respect for their customers so I'll be paying them near zero for their garbage. They can go fuck themselves hard.

Take Blizzard for example. I'm not a Blizz fanboi by any stretch of the imagination but they are a shining example of elegance and user friendliness in many regards.
For example, if you launch StarCraft 2 for the first time, you'll see the Blizzard logos etc.
The next time you launch the game it skips straight to the main menu screen automatically because it sets a simple flag to remember that you have seen their shit. It's minor stuff like this that can make a difference between night & day in the perception of the customer.

In Doom's case id/Beth are losing $$$ from me because of their sloppiness and utter disrespect. $4.99 sale. Not a penny more...

I don't really feel that every genre needs to have RPG elements. Hotline Miami had none and it was great.

...wall of text...

I agree. It would be amazing if it was a Diablo clone with automatic weaponry.

I think that was called Star Siege, and it was pretty bad...

And the end result was a human roadkill murder simulator. Great job, Rockstar. Mass appeal accomplished by appealing to the mass psychopathic tendencies.
