Dark Souls 2. 9.5/10. I actually really enjoyed the slower, more methodical combat system in this one - and loved the lore, environment, and story. Minus points for the DLCs being ... not DS2, but more DS3/Bloodborne/etc... but still a damned good game. Fully platinumed on PC. Now Elden...
Literally just flung the LePow (aka LeShit) one out a window because the stand was garbage. Looking for any other portable monitors that can lie flat when not needed. Anyone got one not in use? Heat under Lopoetve.
It truly goes back to the novelty factor. There was a definite charm early on with what we could do in VR - "First Contact" as an intro via Oculus was brilliant (and is brilliant for newcomers) for a reason. As a way to see all the things you can do, move you into full body immersion, and let...
~shrug~. Every single part is "look, we did VR!" - the flashlight on the hand? Cool - you get to shine lights around corners. The shotgun flick-to-close? Cool, it's like a real gun! Dragging ammo by hand? Okey dokey, fine - it's like a real gun. Pulling levers/etc - neat. Grenades... ok...
Half Life Alyx:
D-. 6.5/10.
Graphics are good. Sound is good. The rest is shit that reminds you that Valve fucked off on their piles of money 10 years ago and hasn't done anything worthwhile except update the steam interface once in the intervening decade.
Controls are garbage. Goals are...
I almost... ALMOST mind you ... just bought a Digital Storm Aventum for my workstation last time. Almost. I don't regret what I built - but next time, I might just buy it.
Well, this helped make my decision easier I think. On prior gens it was a competitive "general purpose" CPU while also being a top-notch workstation CPU. Even the HEDT parts are really "workstation" CPUs now, rather than monstrosities that they used to be. I'll miss my Threadripper, but it...
I don't think anyone is arguing that there weren't differences in the past - analog transmission will do that, after all (digital conversion on the early LCDs was handled at the screen). But we're well past that era - we're sending digital signals all the way through before conversion to...
Spec Ops the Line. 9/10. No, 7/10. No, 8.5... Fuck. Hell if I know.
I've never been more ... torn... on a review than I am for this game. I honestly don't know how I fell about it. I really don't. I started this over the summer and enjoyed it a great deal up till about the midpoint...
