33 is not enough. I was wondering about Elite Dangerous, but it's multiplayer only. Those kinds of games die out when the user base dies out. How far off is that now.

Don't see anything I want. Rainbow 6 siege, is that the 'gloryhole' shooter.

A thing about glasses though, if you strain your eyes slightly to get focus, even without noticing it, you need new ones. I have had tests and glasses made a bunch of times this year and I don't know why but the results seem to vary quite a bit even though my eyes haven't changed much. For whatever reason the tests doesn't conform well to real life conditions. Lighting conditions make a huge difference for me. Really I should have one set for late night and one for daytime. I can see perfectly well in the daytime and not quite as well as i would like in the night time. The slight straining that makes your eyes tired, there is a good chance it can be corrected if your glasses are 'zeroed in' for whatever protracted task you are doing, like reading or using a computer screen. Do you like gray blob A better than gray blob B. They look identical and yet they are absolutely not. 35 of those questions and I wager, for my part anyway, that arriving at the wrong conclusion is a real possibility. It all sounds obvious, but the optician actually asked me if I spent a lot of time in front of a computer. So he could spend more time testing that range. We want multiple focus glasses so we don't have 8 different ones to carry around, but it's a compromise, at least until they make glasses that can change shape. That went on a bit. Point being you can probably get glasses that are better suited for using a monitor.

Or maybe it's the same with all physical goods. Why have bulky things in store when you could have it at your warehouse, or even better at the manufacturers warehouse. Storing and moving things costs money. If they have it at the store it's because it's something that sells quick. Like an Xbox or TV or whatnot. It's unfortunate for all the things you kinda wanna see in the real world before you buy. Like a monitor. I live in Denmark, and most everything I could care to buy is at a central warehouse in Germany. There is probably not as large a profit margin for PC peripherals, not f you compare with laptops and such, because the PC master race is more price aware ? And there are all the cases where the value is largely only in the branding and not the specs, I'm looking at you Apple. Their regional pricing is truly atrocious.

Good point actually about the PMs, you can't help but be influenced.

There is a suspicious lack of Deus Ex's

He looks really creepy after he lost weight. Some people aren't meant to be skinny. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/pictures/jonah-hill-shows-off-weight-loss-before-and-after-pictures-w487217/

I can't name 25 games that I like.

I didn't even know there wasa new Metro game. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/metro-exodus-news-roundup/

Well thank god for the EU, never gonna happen to us.

Origin access is actually pretty tempting now because of Titanfall and one or two others. I know, heresy.

Don't they make those dimensions for like shop assistants and such. https://www.geek.com/news/eizos-27-inch-3k-display-is-perfectly-square-1610009/ The 4k ones seem to be missing or hard to find though. Probably too expensive a production line for a small market.

It's not a thing. Nobody cares.

Well, what about texture scaling. You could have more texture swaps as you zoom in and out and make the transition smoother. You could have more actors in a larger map and so on. Resolution gives you the best picture quality, yes. It's not everything though.

Imagine the settings and post processing gain you could get by not throwing all that extra power after resolution though. I mean in gaming.

Well not masses, just at the wrong time. Like those horrible unskippable dream sequences with the kid. Not that there is a right time for those.

I suppose there is a limit on how many ceral boxes you can eat within a given time period. I suspect Disney leaned on EA because they are very protective of their brand and that persistent revenue is still very much a part of their formula wherever the can get away with it. Makes me worry about Farcry 5.

What you seem to be missing is that progression based microtransactions are ruining the game experience because everything has to be built around the money grab. You really have to try one such game to understand it, to see how invasive and annoying it is. Maybe it shouldn't be legislated, I dunno, I guess I just don't care at all about EA's pain. Let me ask you a question. Would you want to play a multiplayer game if the deciding factor was not whether you were good or not but which person has paid the most into microtransactions. That is quite literally where this is heading.

Just replayed ME3. Well, I stopped after the Cerberus base because it gets boring after that. They should have taken a page from ME2 where there was this kind of 'Dirty Dozen' vibe going on, you were building a team and it was all culminating in final mission impossible thing you were going to do. Instead they slow your movement speed down and drown you in exposition. It gets self indulgent and masturbatory, and really it's all just hiding 3 different endings. Where is the bossfight. The bossfight in ME2 was good. Good enough anyway. Don't take away player agency and assume we are going to care about the story for an extended non skippable segment. That's assuming too much. Shame about Andromeda.

Well, nothing much is going to come of it. Who wants to bet the lootboxes are coming back to battlefront with some small band aid.

So far just talk and fallout from Battlefront 3. EA's greed bit them in the ass. They don't know how to say no to more money even if it damages their IP. This is good news for consumers though. None of the gambling but not gambling ****ery benefits us. As far as legislators over reaching, go cry me a river.

Yeah, it wasn't my thing either. Too much nerd humor and overall generic despite the flashy cartoon graphics. Only fun with friends really, but I didn't bother. And Lol at it being underrated here. It was hyped as much as any game when it was released, 8 years ago. The in game design is pretty awesome, it gets very MMOish and boring with the narrow focus on multiplayer coop though. Miles better design wise than overwatch for instance, which has a similar style. It has midget berserkers who turn into giant berserkers after you shoot their heads off. I mean think about that. It's mostly good in places though, not throughout. Like in the Torque campaign of carnage where the whole thing is being narrated like a WWF vendetta. For lack of a better word the design, the VO, it's 'air guitar awesome'

If everybody is saying Elex maybe I should give it a try. I dunno, undecided on goty

Ohh, I see what you mean. No, they can't just remove a game you own because they made an enhanced edition.
