I’m a giant fan of dragon age 2. Mass effect 3 I still didn’t like as well as 1, but it’s a great game.

Anthem and fallout 76 are obnoxious for me because anyone can and does spew out deathmatch games which I have zero interest in, but these developers can make stuff no one else can, and are wasting their time.

But I’m back if they release a game ic are about again.

Super dumb question, but I tried starting The Fall on Wii U, and I can't figure out what to do...I think I'm missing some aspect of the controls, which aren't explained at all. I've tried hitting every button, but all I can do is swing my light around and jump...

@acura_max: Thanks for the heads up! Guess I'll create an account next month then.

Have to admit, I wouldn't have otherwise.

It and Vanquish are great games!

Personality wise, he is really annoying. But you can't deny that he's really good looking.

LOL! You win.

I like the character just fine though.

Man, such awesome comments from everyone! faceless, I appreciate yours, don't have much to say, but do appreciate it! I'd like something like Digital Foundry to go over the differences between different engines at different points in time.

TOTALLY agree with you. And I did the same thing-played either the demo or the first level of the full game back in 2004, on my Geforce 4, and was blown away. And then based on how much I love Crysis I really expected this to be like a worse Crysis, but still good, and much past the first level or three it's just a mess. It's probably good I played Crysis first or I'd just assume I'd hate it too!

And that's dead on about how it actually feels constrained. I was expecting this to be super open, and to me it's really not.

I'd love to pull out Predator again, as I don't recall that seeming any less open than this does, only it had the super powers, and just way better gameplay.

Yeah, no kidding!

"Far Cry: Instincts: Predator: Reloaded: Armageddon: Ultimatum" I just love this LOL :-D

Yeah, I played Far Cry: Instincts: Predator: Too Many Subtitles on 360 back close to when it came out. I'm sure it's not great by today's standards, but it was a HELL of a lot better game than this is. Ironic, since I assumed it was worse, given the point of it I assume was to do a Far Cry port to Xbox 1...but it's a much stronger game, AND at least the 360 port looks at least as good as this.

Also, I couldn't really stand Far Cry 2 when I played it 10 years ago or whatever, but I can at least get behind what they were going for compared to this. (And I'm going to give it a second shot-always been meaning to.)

Genuinely love Crysis though...it's hard to believe a developer could get so much better from one game to the next!

(Though I played the Xbox version which I think massively cleans up the controls in a way that makes sense.)

I'm a pretty huge fan of the Crysis trilogy-played all three over the past year or two on Xbox 360, and they look and play great, and tell a fun story (other than the boss of the first game is too hard).

Was expecting Far Cry 1 (Windows) to be worse, but not THIS much worse.

The difficulty is ludicrous, even on "easy", and there's no way in hell I'd be playing this without a god/invincibility mode.

It's got escort missions (hurray?).

It's got occasionally broken scripting (which would suck 20x more if I weren't invincible).

It's just boring and frustrating as hell, even when you're invincible.

I can't believe this got good reviews. Granted game design and FPS design has come a long way since 2004, but even in 2004 we'd had Deus Ex and System Shock 2, and I'm sure other good games besides (not to mention Resident Evil that's at least tangentially related to an FPS).

Ugh. I can't really put my abhorrence of this into works properly.

At least it's another game out of the backlog when I finish (hopefully tonight).

Thanks guys! I went ahead and ordered the Skyrim bundle, only I just had another thought...can the camera/tracking actually work in a real-world environment, chairs, bedroom, living room, not some pristine environment dedicated to just VR?

Kinnect 2.0 doesn't work at ALL basically in my environment. Literally one game demo I couldn't get past the title screen, it wouldn't recognize the movement it was supposed to. Move didn't really work either (on a Playstation 3). Wii's camera-in-the-controller more or less works, but it's doing less.

This might not even work in my setup...in which case I should cancel it and "make due" with a nice 4K + HDR set lol

Okay...so Sony's pricing this thing really aggressively, to the point where I think I'm willing to just give it a shot even though I don't know if it works for me, so I've got piles of questions maybe people can help with...

-I understand it works with glasses...is that annoying? And if I'm nearsighted, is there a chance I could use this WITHOUT glasses? I mean it's sticking a screen right on my face, so I sort of feel like doesn't that mean I could just see it without my glasses like I read my iPad from a foot away or half a foot away or whatever?

-It doesn't come with headphones? Does that mean you need a wired pair of over the ear headphones to use with it?

-It uses the camera for tracking I guess, so even though you can move around, I assume you have to sort of have the camera a certain distance and aimed at you, and have to face it?

-Do you need the "move" controllers? I bought some YEARS ago on PS3 and hated them, sold them almost immediately. They didn't really work at all...in fact they worked way worse for me than the Wii's controllers, and I hated those too. Frankly I'd rather just play games with the regular controller, I think... Plus that adds $100-200 or whatever more to the cost!

-Can you use PSVR to play ANY PS4 game even if it's not supported? Like can you use it to just display a virtual TV basically, so that even though it's flat, it can be used as a TV of sorts? (I might just have my PS4 Pro situated somewhere without a TV if that's the case, just always use it with PSVR)

-Do you have to buy new special versions of Skyrim and Fallout 4 to have them be VR versions, and if so are they the full games, just made to explicitly support PSVR?

-Because of it's backwards compatibility, I'm standardizing on Xbox One X, so anyone heard if it's going to support VR, like if I could just be playing Skyrim and Fallout 4 in VR over there?
