You sound like one of those annoying dark souls fans. Whether someone enjoys a game or not is not a function of how good or bad they are at it. Yes, I can win races against rubber banding AI, but I still hate the concept. Not as if there is any competition. What other similar game is out there...

I really liked NFS5, and 6 too. The latter is extremely underrated. NFS5 was developed by the same people who made Test Drive Unlimited, the best racing game of all time, so it's no surprise that it was great.

Are you suggesting once a developer made a game their future games can't deviate even slightly from that formula? Yes there is an expectation that it will be no better than the previous iteration, but there is also hope that it will be. That's the issue, there are no racing games for me...

At least those things exist in real life, so it's not that immersion breaking. Well, having done something similar before doesn't make it any less dumb in my eyes. All I want is a good arcade racing game where the focus is on the racing and driving and not on stupid spectacles and nonsensical...

Maybe, just maybe it hasn't been done before because it makes zero sense? This actually makes me angry, because I can imagine the corporate boardroom meeting where they decided to put it in. It doesn't make the game any better. It is just a key jangle that any reasonable person should see right...

A more stable, better looking version with far superior controls.

I already upgraded...to a PC.

My first "GPU" was an S3 Virge 2MB, it ran Jedi Knight in 400x300 around 15fps (except for a few outdoor areas where it would drop to 1fps). Getting the voodoo later was really a game changer. I remember saving up all the pocket and birthday money to finally get a Radeon 9600XT to play Far Cry...

But I wasn't on the bleeding edge, never have been really. I finally got a voodoo 1 over a year after it launched. I never had a flagship video card at launch, most of the time I had mid tier hardware with a focus on Price/Performance. When I did have a flagship GPU, it was very deep into their...

Even before the current situation I found DDR5 overpriced, there was no way I'd pay $300 to sidegrade from 64GB DDR4 to DDR5. Now it costs $1000. And then we are not even counting the cost of a new MB and CPU. All for an incremental upgrade. Even when I went from the 3700X to the 5800X3D when...

No, thanks I've tried playing GTA5 on PS3, it was an abysmal experience, and abandoned the game one or two hours in and sold my copy.

You jest but I'm almost certain they are already doing that. All those times the computer ramps up its fans when unattended and should be idle is a little more than sus.

Shipping overseas? Unlikely. I have no inclination to upgrade anything at the current prices. I'll probably use my current DDR4 board until it stops working, and even then I'd weigh my options whether is it worth to get new stuff with DDR5, or simply buy another DDR4 MB.

I haven't even seen DDR5 yet IRL.

I don't think this is logical, or expected or even warranted by anything. Windows arguably gained no new function (at least what users wanted) since vista. So there is absolutely no good reason why it should require more RAM than that. Even the UI became simpler and uglier, which makes it...

"Don't worry paying customers, we are already working on making your experience worse!"

Quick, what's the current trend? Pivot! Pivot! Hard!

What is this about exploitable HW? How is that in any way related to what I said about not updating Software unless you need to? I didn't say disable windows update and never install any security patches, I was referring to feature updates only. There were several hacks recently where bad...

Vulnerability has become the IT equivalent of will you just think of the children! Every new version has potential new 0-day vulnerabilities than don't affect the tried and tested one. I'd argue that updating to a new major release makes you less secure, not more. On top of this your chance of...

I didn't mean the backlog of games, but how often and how many such games are added? Surely for an ongoing subscription to make any sense at all you must get more games than what you could buy outright with the same money. So, paying 80 to buy a great game once in a while is a problem, but...
