@ShadowofSparta Its just hating on PC for the sake of it. Most of these people came out of decades of console wars and with microsoft dropping the ball on xbox the war is over. Gotta direct the hate somewhere.
@windxtravelerx You can either play alone with two bots or theres matchmaking.
It works fairly well when it works. Sometimes theres server issues, but most of the time it joins you instantly. I did all the operations on all difficulties like this, people are fairly competent.
The pvp is pretty fun too, and i usually dont like pvp. Last game i enjoyed pvping in was the original UT.
Its just fun, plain and simple. Without pushing any agenda or trying to be more than it needs to be. Ive been running the same 6 operations since launch and ive been having a blast.
@Oram77 Theyre not. I still remember people hating on mandatory microsoft account or Origin. In recent memory its the fail of Alan Wake 2 due to being on Epic.
@NEStalgia Oooh ye, i didnt even think of the fact that whole windows installs itself in under 10minutes with all the drivers. Good point haha.
But remember those early Athlon CPUs wih no cover whatsoever so if you didnt install the cooler pixel perfect you would scratch the chip and its game over? Or even better the actual cooler needed to be latched with a flathead screwdriver and significant force so if you slid even a little bit you would drive it thru the motherboard xD Good times haha.
Ye today the “pc too hard to build” is no excuse. I personally deviated from PC gaming for the comfort of just plugging in a box and being able to play. Also couch is more comfy than those modern “gaming” chairs taken straight out of some track tuned honda civic.
I feel like building PC today is nowhere near as hard as it used to be back in the 90s and early 00s. Theres so many safeguards in every component that is basically impossible to F things up. Not to mention all the youtube tutorials.
I think that if anyone is, as sony puts it, “hardcore” enough to shell out 800€ for a Pro then theyre probably capable of buildinga PC.
I wish it was a flop, especially without bluray and vertical stand, but it probably wont.
@Shalooda Its extremely shallow and inconsistent.
Sometimes youre hidden by one blade of grass, nobody sees you. Even while youre killing their friends in front of em. Then you get “spotted” by one enemy while performing stealth kill on same enemy = whole level instantly sees you.
Would be fine if you werent forced into stealth so many times, since shooting is kinda okish(5/10).
Overall the game is bad even for Ubi game. 3/10 maximum. Anything above 5 should mean a good game, which this isnt.
Its shallow, broken, boring mess. One of the worst star wars games in recent memory.
Edit- did you jsut make this account yesterday as a burner account to troll discussions? If so, kudos, i took the bait :/
At best it demonstrates how out of touch you guys are to your audience, completely missing the point why people disliked Concord. At worst its you playing “i told you so” and “gotcha” against your own audience.
One of the worst article ive read on this site. Probably the besr way out of is would be “sorry my 9 year old got into my computer”, cause thats exactly how it reads.
@StylesT I can, I work all week and the game releases on Monday, while the “early access” started on Thursday. Then my wife’s parents are coming to visit so that’s another week on top of that. I was really close to getting the Ultra edition, but in the end couldn’t bring myself to pay 100€ just to play early :/
I absolutelly hate the early access crap theyre pulling off. And ofcourse the “real release” is on ***** monday. Its never gonna change, i know, but i couldnt bring myself to dishout 30 euro extra to be able to play it.
Thank god AstroBot doesnt do any of these shady practices and it makes the wait way sweeter. Had no problem paying for digital deluxe these.
@Maubari I might be remembering wrong, but i loved the combat of DA:O, didnt play it recently at all. But isnt it similar to BG3?
DA2 was pretty bad story(and scale) wise and i absolutelly hated Inquisitions mmo style quests and obnoxious characters.
Origins definerly the best in series.
Looks really good! Maybe i should go back to Shadow of erdtree so my current one spontaniously, with no fault of my own, breaks into pieces. Justifying purchase of a new one
@Monstermash40 I loved 1,2 and presequel, but 3 was pretty weird. Most of the current era streamer jokes fel flat for me. The gunplay is still pretty solid tho!

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
@Oram77 Ye because you could, imagine buying a single player game that requires an account on a service that isnt available in your country.
I mean i get it, console owners hate PC players, but cmon, be reasonable.

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
I have to say it is a weird decision from Sony, theyre really pushing their luck these days.
Idk if any of us would like having to create a microsoft account to play Hi-Fi Rush.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
@Shalooda Hehe ye, guess i was just unlucky. Or i didnt get the copium version.
Lets just agree to disagree i guess, glad youre enjoying the game. Im just not.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
@Shalooda Thats like saying “anyone who wasnt forced to pick cotton, shouldnt have an opinion about slavery”
The stealth system is ridiculously bad, way worse than games from 10 years ago.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
I think its a solid 3.
Star wars without lightsabers.
Boring ubisoft openworld.
Broken, halfassed stealth mechanics in a stealth game.
Yea 3.

Not my cup of tea, but its about time someone gave The Sims some competition!
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Eating Your Inputs on PS5, and It's a Problem with Performance Mode
Uff thats really bad, glad i didnt buy yet.
Seems like quality mode is the way to go, id rather suffer thru 30fps than fake 60.
Edit - Did anyone got beyond chapter 2 on ps5? Ive heard thats where most of the performance problems start on PC

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Opening Will Make Inquisition's Finale Look 'Like a Minor Inconvenience'
