Any EA games with "exclusive license" I will not touch. EA just SUCK at exclusive license. Porsche exclusive license was the best examples. (and then Star Wars... FIFA...)

Porsche Unleashed was one of the best Need For Speed games ever. That and High Stakes are the only NFS games I felt were all that good. The later ones are arcadey garbage.

Welp, guess I won't be playing any more Codemasters games.

Antifa losers comes to mind immediately for most people when they read that.

Huh. Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, bigots, racists, the mob that committed treason at the Capitol, Trump supporters (Some of the least educated in America), "militia" members, people claiming to be "patriots", and QAnon nutjobs spring to my mind at a much faster rate than anyone associated with the rather broad nom de guerre of "antifa".

But then I don't have a particularly myopic political axe to grind and therefore use a general plurality of "people" instead of a specific singular example.

Every single one of them is a fucking traitor. Some of them don't even realize they're traitors. They are just easily brainwashed and actually believe they are patriots, thanks to being inducted into the cult by the lead godking traitor. The others are willfully hateful and treasonous, just looking for a reason to get revenge on the North.

When it comes to death threats over video games, I expect so much more from a country where they violently attack people for having a different political opinion.

Newsflash: Antifa isn't actually a thing. It's just a philosophy. If you're not anti-fascist, I guess that makes you pro-fascist. Interesting, the types of people who willingly admit that...

And what if someone bought the phone for that feature? Is Google going to reimburse them? How long until a class action lawsuit?

I bet it will be another shitty flop.

Releasing next gen games on last gen hardware is not a very good idea right from the start.

I think a huge part of the problem was the simultaneous release. WTF were they thinking? Just make it work right on PC. Then think about porting to consoles a year or two later, like we have to put up with with PC ports. Things would have gone a lot more smoothly then.

That's what you get for releasing a game in a late Alpha state. Yes I meant Alpha seeing as most if not all early Betas I played were more polished than this.

Come back in a year, it should be out of Beta by then.

So you haven't played it on PC. Okay. And you probably haven't played it on console either.

Stop spreading misinformation. It's nowhere near as bad as people are saying. It's not perfect, but plenty of people are having a ton of fun with it. Stop acting like it's the fucking end times.

Yep. Running from a 1tb SSD. lul

I also have SEVEN physical drives (I never delete anything. lel), and looking in the tracelogs from some of the crashes, it looked like one of the crashes was due to timing out when trying to list storage devices. Not sure why it needs to do that when all it should care about is the drive it's installed on, but once I toggled the "slow drive" option on in the settings, I stopped seeing that one.

Edit - and no, the game did NOT launch with old drivers. I'm current now. That's never been an issue before though.

NVIDIA is complete trash and they always have been. So nice that I don't have to support this trash company this generation.

Well, you do if you want the best.

Those are very serious allegations. MC/Visa better have ironclad evidence.

Are they sure they're not mixing up PornHub with 4Chan?

I can't even play this game on my current PC. Well, I can, but....

Game defaulted to ultra settings on my 1080 Ti. My native res is 4k. Slideshow.

I turn the settings down, put it in 1080p, but it doesn't show a fullscreen option for me. WTF?! The game supports fullscreen (I hex edited the exe and I can see the config values that it would set should you select it), but it doesn't show it as an option for me. So I have to either set my windows resolution to 1080p, or play with the game in a little window in the middle of my desktop. >_<

This is AFTER I spent TWO HOURS trying to get the game to even run. It would crash immediately every time until I updated my videocard drivers. Okay fine, that kind of makes sense. But now it just crashes at the slightest bump. Change resolution? Kill videocard. Have to unplug HDMI and replug to get my desktop back. It saves the resolution, but I still have to restart the game. For a while, it would seemingly crash at random. Then, somehow, I managed to get it stable and pretty smooth at 1080p and almost ultimate settings.

But then...!!

I started as Nomad. You're in a desert border town, and then you meet Jackie, and then you go across the border, and then it plays a little montage sequence and then it crashes.

Every. Time. So I can't progress further.

I did use Cheat Engine after this to give myself 20's in all stats so I could steal the starter cars and fuck around though. lulul

But I guess I need to build a new PC before I can properly play this game. I think it's crashing because it's requesting some CPU feature I don't support. I'm using a ten year old i7 980x. It's a terrible time to upgrade too. Oh well. Guess I'm waiting for the patches and DLC anyway.

A good trailer made great b/c of the music. Can't believe they were able to get that song.

Streamers who streamed the game awards are going to have their recordings DMCA deleted.

Congrats, which platform did ya get and does it actually have the game in it so you can start playing?

Gratz!
Haha, he's too busy playing to answer. We might not hear from him again for days!

LUL I wish. It's PC, so it's just got a download code. I added it to my GOG account but it doesn't unlock until the 9th at 4pm.

Can't feel sorry for this guy.
When you leave that much stuff at anyone's house it's considered abandoned.
That familial relationship has a lot more to worry about than the stuff that was tossed.
How hard would it have been for him to tell his mother that the stuff was easily valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in that he would remove it from the house if she ever needed that space.

I'd bet that "$500k" is overvalued as well. You can ask how ever much you want when posting an auction, but is anyone going to actually buy the shit from you?

Fools.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I don't understand how the hell anyone could buy the Steam version over the GOG version. Like, what's the point? I bet if it's #1 on Steam, it has to have sold WAY more on GOG.
