I saw a video review for this game and I must say I'll pass. It looks like a Kindergarten rendition of Fallout 3, but with a lot more tedious quests. Plus, you seem to be confined to town for the first part of the game, which pretty much eliminates the freedom. It's cool that the world opens up later on, but I want to be able to run around as I please from the get-go. I have friends who have said Fallen Earth is much better.

People thought Crackdown was going to suck because of the graphics and it ended up being a very good game.

Try the demo when it comes out.

How bout this...what if I have half an hour to kill and want to BS with a few friends while shooting sh*t?

You need to invest at least 5-10 hours, depending on your play style, to get out of the starter zones before the game really picks up. Make of that what you will. It's very over-hyped for, what I think, is a semi-average game.

It's cool that the world opens up later on, but I want to be able to run around as I please from the get-go.

It's still fairly closed even when you do break free of the newbie town shackles. You're limited to where you can go by your level, if you wish to explore some areas in that zone the mobs can be 5 levels above and kill you within 4 seconds sending you back to a bind point and take a sizeable chunk of cash too.

I will say story seems weak, and there's repetition.

Underestimation of the month there AB.

I love this quote from Metacritic:

"Phenomenal title. Extremely immersive, deep role playing elements, and fantastically addictive co-op."

If console owners think this is deep. RPGs are ****ed.

Isn't Borderlands a PC game?

I'm actually having a blast with this game. I played with three of my friends last night and we're just addicted to the loot system. I can see this game getting boring if you play by yourself, but if you have people to play with it's really fun.

The game finally came in today. Played up to Level 7. I must say, I really enjoyed this game, even though it was basically mindless. I enjoyed the exploration aspect and looting. Can't wait to play this game with friends.

Yo Larry, when you getting the game?

Fun game Co-Op, but I joined my mate at level 10 whilst I was level 24. I just killed everything for him :p

Even managed to kill Moe and Marley myself pretty easily. They were tough as **** when I done them first time through, I kind of cheated, pulled them to the outpost nearby, climbed on the roof then let them and the bandits battle it out for a bit :p

I just picked this up and I am on level 7, my next two missions are level 10 and I cant even kill the guys. I have no friends with this game either so kind of hard to play with someone. Wish the game had a matchmaking or something...

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
