Jams

I remember that. What the fuck was that all about? Who does that? I was also imagining that guy trying to light the match after by sticking it in his ear and trying to strike it outwards.

I haven't touched it yet and I don't plan to. I'm pretty much done with multiplayer shooters at this point.

They're not backing off. It's the money making scheme that's hitting the game industry. I'm positive they'll push and push with more ridiculous required transactions up until the straw breaks the camels back. Then they'll back off a little bit for a while and wait. Then they'll go back to their stupid pricing schemes.

You know, like how gas prices have been going up. You push up the price 200%, back off to 150% for a while and go, "Hey prices aren't that bad after all, it's practically the same as it was when it was 100%!". Then start raising the prices at a slow increment until they greatly surpass the original 200%. Keep it at the price until people forget all about it then start the process all over again.

Then repeat.

Yeah I have this same problem and it still bothers me even after completing 25% of the game. I was pissed during the quick look when I saw that the button prompts are where you need to see what to hit. On PC it's on the bottom if you're lucky. It'll say, "mash E !" or something.

I think they were trying to compensate if you changed your layout so that the QTE icon wouldn't show an E even though you changed it to mouse 4 or something. But they fucked it up even worse.

Cool. I didn't really want to step on any toes because I know I'm no savant when it comes to language. Sometimes I feel like giving up and just using animated .gif's instead of words.

you mean worse not worst. You're using the word wrong. I'm not usually one to correct spelling and such but I figured that it needs to be corrected here. Then again I might be wrong?

I think the problem a lot of people have with the game is the fact that having DRM and some of the simulation on their servers is dumb to begin with. Not even that the servers aren't working right. They promised that offloading all that simulation that you'd have individual Sims going about their business. But in reality it's the same damn thing as before except all these other problems plus the old ones. I think all their decisions were bad ones.

I feel like they made their decisions based off of, "how can we get less people to pirate the game?". Because their design decisions don't make much sense unless you put it in that context.

All that crap you posted is the exact opposite of how I use a computer. Half of those things actually make any kind of computer use a lot harder and cause me more fatigue. I don't mean to insult but I've been calling bullshit oh most of those recommendations for years.

Here's an old article on why it isn't good to sit straight for longer periods of time while using a computer. Maybe it's been refuted since, but I have a feeling it hasn't.

This article from Cornell recommends that you have the mouse on a platform an inch or two higher than your keyboard.

all that's to be taken with a grain of salt anyways. I've never had strain when typing because I keep my wrists on the wrist pad when typing. Or had strain in my mousing wrist because I use my fingertips to move the mouse instead of my elbow or wrist.

Anyways, the straight back part is what I think is the worst you can do while using a computer.

I don't care if you're Jesus Christ the Rocket Scientist; the 23 years I've been using a computer (for hours and hours a day), I know what's best for me and none of your recommendations fit.

The saddest part is that you're right. The fact that AAA developers can't get over that hurdle saddens me to no end. It makes me lose any hope for any chance at a AAA Budget game/Minecraft/Receiver fusion of mechanics. It's too bad that that kind of game has to stick with indie developers.
