@ydh: If you want to get particularly fancy, they remade flashback a few years ago. I haven't played it myself, but I believe there is a quicklook on the site
@ydh: Sorry if you've already thought of this, since it's by the same people that made another world (and is also a fairly famous game), but are you thinking of Flashback? https://www.giantbomb.com/flashback-the-quest-for-identity/3030-1066/.
I'll throw my hat in this ring, since it seems the report problem with the video player button disappeared right before i had my first ever problem with the video player. win 10, chrome if it matters.
I tend to play most of my games on the pc, because my pc is powerful. When i switched from 1080p to 2160p, my framerates went from being locked at 60 to bouncing back and forth between 45-60 for a lot of the bigger games. While I'm okay with a lower framerate most of the time (played dat horizon, played dat zelda), I find the VARIABILITY can throw me for a loop sometimes.
I thought there was a lot to like about the story here, although most of the major plot points fell flat for me. Given how telegraphed Aloy being a clone of Sobeck was, that couldn't be a major moment in the plot, and I also felt that Faro destroying Apollo was forced. Why would anybody give the asshole that killed the world any access whatsoever? It is mentioned that they need his company to finance some aspects of Zero Dawn, but governments have the ability to seize assets by eminent domain, and also it's the end of the world.
I also felt like their was a lost opportunity to discuss people's belief systems in the light of a definitive disproving of the Nora's machine myths, but I get that Sony is making a product, and most people are not interested in thinking about why they believe things. Also, the story was pushing right along at that point, so I'm fine with characters not gazing at their navels while a magic AI monster is burninating their people.
@laxbro19: Those are fair criticisms of the track, it is a very flat track. I've been (fake) racing it for over 10 years now, so it's one of a few on the calendar that I feel like I really know (your examples of Spa and Monaco are dead on as well. I'd add interlagos, monza, and for all that I don't like the course Abu Dhabi as well).
I dig that the setting is boring, there's only so much you can do with a flat old airfield, but in my case being pedal down around maggots and becketts is enough that I don't care that there's nothing else going on visually.
I'm glad you found more joy watching the race than I did, mebbe my continuing boredom with the Mercedes show is coloring my whole experience.
