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...

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yeah I have a Sound Blaster X3 too (bought myself) and that is set up with the 6-channel cable for true surround. BUT Spotify and TIDAL do not support 5.1 SACD formats so I have to use Acoustic Engine for the fake surround. Apparently Apple Music is the only music streaming service with true Atmos/5.1 support.

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
