I can only imagine some wild alternative reality where this list seem impressive.

One more reason to support HU,
I always check their reviews first, they do lots of excellent practical content.
Now with gpu race truly heated, we will see more of this PR meddling.

Love this game, clocked 100h on first one, few runs, never reached second half but always had a ton of fun playing it.
Game got substantially better (friendlier to play) over time, with the updates so I'm not too bummed for EGS start.
I'll play this in polished form when it arrives on Steam.

What a bunch of nonsense, its fucking glorious in games. Mine is 35" 1440p 120hz beauty and its a best upgrade I did to my pc in 20 years. One word - immersion, 90% of new games support it (rest can be easily tweaked) and when they do its amazing. Flight sims, racing games, fps even strategy and isometric games look great, they just fill your vision fully. Sure, most small, pixel indie games don't and they display 16:9 1440p woop-de-do no loss there. I was considering upgrade to lg cx 48" oled but its just not the same in plain 16:9, it would be a sidegrade at best plus harder to run at high framerate. Oh and I do some odd photo and video editing on it as well, distortion it not an issue but extra real estate for tool tabs or timelines etc is very handy.

Precisely the reason I've tried this on xbox pass beta, and while I had my share of sailing and exploring (game look gorgeous and v immersive despite being cartoony) there is no escaping pvp at its core, you can try to play stealthy actively avoiding other ships but its rather stressful (95% of other players encounters for me ended for me on the bottom of the ocean). I'd say avoid if you after solo play. Shame there is no game like it for SP, Ubisoft Skull and Bones is vaporware at this point by the looks of things.

Anyone know how this plays single-player? I'm anti-social.

This. lol

Ditto this! I suppose we could buy it then return if the SP experience sucks.

Man, still trying to find a game to scratch my High Seas Trader and Sids Pirates itch.

take my money

Doom E: lost interest 5h in despite loving D:2016, no mod can salvage this disjointed "rock paper scissors" arcade fest for me I'm afraid.

Au ban incoming in 3.. 2... 1..

Bringing back proper 3d audio would be awesome. Still can't believe that I had excellent 3d audio including occlusion and surface simulation in days of Aureal 3D 25 years ago then to all be squandered by Microsoft and Creative Labs bs.
In fact I only recently give up hope and accepted fact of shitty software surround tricks and sup par audio in Windows games.
But then again its not the first time I hear about game audio resurgence that never materialise. Will watch this space for sure.

Game is great so far, v funny, good writing and atmosphere. From first minutes in character generator you got this feeling playing successor to fallout 1 and 2 in spirit, I love it.
HDR is in the ini files settings but not officially in the options yet, my guess its coming.

As for buying - I'm really perplexed that its not been talked about here more. Get it on xbox beta app in windows 10 store.
Its fucking awesome 1 buck for first month, then 5 for next ones- that includes shitton of big quality AAA games for you to locally download, install and play, plus as many high quality indie. I have been pretty much exclusively playing games there for last four months and fired up steam maybe few times to check deals etc. The amount of games on xbox beta at the moment is massive. With new titles being added weekly and only one or two (usually ones no one care anyway) disappearing. This service is great for trying new games I would never consider as well. I even bought few on steam after trying to get all dlcs etc. Just check the games lineup here

System Shock 2

100 times this, also any other slow paced first person game, horrors in particular would benefit from this treatment. My dream list would be : aforementioned SS2, Alien Isolation, Stalker, Thief 1/2 , Deus Ex, Fear games, AvsP, Resi Evil games, Condemned CO

Love the trailer. After skipping Civ6 (played every other Civ since the beginning but the newest looks like streamlined piecemeal kiddie rubbish) and having a blast in both Endless Legend and Endless Space 2- I can't wait for this. Amplitude games have way more character and fresh ideas then quite stale recent Civs

This looks positively mental and a fine reason to get into VR for me. Now where is that hi next gen wireless vr headset I've been waiting for...

Yeap, that 38" is ticking almost all the boxes- uuuge, ips, ultrawide, hi res, hi refresh , gsync, wide gamut, basic hdr. Finally some good advancements in panel space on the horizon.

So Keanu is Johnny Silverhand in this.
I like it, can't think of a better suited character than flipping J Mnemonic himself

This Is Beautiful
I'm getting that sweet sweet collectors edition and booking a week of work on release.

Looks interesting, but like any other Epic store exclusive I'll wait till its patched, balanced and discounted when it hits the steam in 1y time. Apparently is very short and still a bit janky. No biggie.

Sorry to hear, my sincere sympathy as a fellow dog lover

Nerd boner jams for days, that Ruskie plane is a Fulcrum. I know I'm going to buy this module and prolly never play it before 2020, I have to start with F5 module I bought a while ago and make it up the complication ladder as I go, damn lack of time...

You have one job only MS, make the os for my games that works and its invisible for user, thats it. But no no no , they have to recommit to pc gaming from time to time, like the other update they did so my full screen games minimise from time to time or the one showing infuriating xbox notification WHILE I game. Oh oh I forgot that since a while ago I have to manually disable flipping fullscreen optimisation in compatibility tab otherwise I get random stutter spikes on same games like AC Odyssey and many others. They just don't get it.
Oh how I wish we had alternative system.
