Defaced

Dead or alive Xtreme beach volleyball...you know why.

Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

Would prefer ff6 in this style, imo the greatest final fantasy ever made, moreso than the overrated ff7. FF6 deserves some love, the music, the story, the combat and blitz mechanics, the scale of it all is just so damn impressive for a 2d jrpg.

So has it been confirmed that Intel cancelled high end battlemage? It seems they're only moving forwards with the SoCs.

HL2 is more than just the gravity gun. The art style, the open levels on the beaches, the facial animations, the improved storytelling from HL1, the antlion army, game was so much more than just an updated half life. Without HL2, portal wouldn't have any legs to stand on, valve took on narbacular drop, hired the team and put them to work on the source engine to make portal. Counter strike source was the defacto mp shooter for years if not decades, hell even the portal 2 goo came from half life 2 ep 3 just like they mention in the documentary. Saying they ignored all other aspects of the game for the gravity gun does half life 2 a disservice to what it accomplished.

HL2 still did more for the industry than probably any other game on the market. Also, Minerva is a must to play, one of the best HL2 mods.

Knee jerk reaction based on OEM feedback for a built in handheld interface for the OEM handhelds like the rog ally. Steam deck clearly caused a disruption in the market that Microsoft simply cannot stop. It'll probably have alps joysticks that drift, they'll slap an over powered AMD apu in it with a shit battery that it'll chew through in an hour like every other handheld PC. Valve hit the sweet spot with the deck, and there's no real reason to upgrade it, sure you have more powerful apu's but battery tech hasn't caught up yet and the only way to counteract it is slap a bigger battery on the device. At that point what's the point of putting a power hungry apu in a handheld?

But you know, according to EA Linux is worse than guys like this deliberately causing disruptions in service to legit players.

I think it looks badass, I've been watching streams on twitch and it's right up my alley so I'm buying it. If for any reason to piss off the jackasses that are hating just for hates sake.

It looked good, but the gyro is apparently awful and the trigger travel is basically non-existent.

You know, I was honestly going to give you some credit for trying, but then you edited your post and decided to turn the conversation political. Your entire argument has lost all credibility, these are video games, please try not to take them so seriously, have a nice day.

There have been more positive reviews so far than negative, and not a single post has shown any proof that EA is manipulating reviews and cherry picking. The only thing we've seen is one guy at fextralife throwing out conspiracy theories about how EA hates him, another guy who's apparently a racist and sexist asshat, and that's pretty much it. Mortismal has even stated he wasn't paid off or anything by EA and would be fined and his account deleted if he was and didn't disclose that fact, which he didn't.

Bioware has made two bad games, Andromeda and Anthem, two. One is objectively not that bad, the other is a game in a genre they've never dipped their toes into, and the biggest issue is that those two releases were back to back, so that apparently means they've gone to shit now and everything else they've created means nothing. It's really sad how petty and ridiculous some people are over bioware. As for the EA hate that's been around forever, but God forbid someone say something positive about a bioware game.

Do you have proof that EA is forcing reviewers to use catchphrases as you've said? I get it, we all have our hate boners, we all have our pet peeves, but damn son....the conspiracy theories and review embargo nonsense is just stupid at this point. Like you said let's just wait for the objective reviews but how about we simply don't write the game off because bioware apparently murdered our puppies.
