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...

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
