Graphically the game is amazing I don't agree with there being any issues with the graphics the reviewer clearly didn't alter his video settings. The game play however isn't that fun since all the fighting takes place at the unit spawn points rather than where the capture zones are. In most games that I have played a lot of the zones remain unclaimed through-out the game.
While I don't agree that PC's are a generation behind I do understand the limitations of PC hardware. Currently with games like ARMA 3 CPU's are the bottlenecks and this is mostly due to Bohemia Interactive not making better use of multiple core processors but anyhow we seem to be at a point now where the raw speed of a single CPU core has reached its limit I am not sure why this is but I am guessing that its to do with the material used to make the chip and bandwidth limitations.
Thinking outside the box for a moment, if we had a PC that didn't have a CPU but instead was powered completely by the GPU I think the PC's of today would be super fast I think that the limitations are based on the fact that computer hardware has to communicate with each other and the speeds in which that can happen has been reached.
If all the calculations and graphics data were done by a single chip computer speeds would increase dramatically.
I haven't looked into whats actually in these new consoles but I hope it makes it easier to make games for all platforms its silly that when a big game comes out that it would score differently on platform X because of FPS drops for example. The only difference between each platform should be how you receive your content in terms of Steam, XBL, PSN if a game is made for the PS4 then it should work identically on the XBOX and PC.
Being a PC gamer I remember all of the PC gaming is dead stuff when the current generation of consoles arrived I hope we don't return to this PC gaming has grown loads in the last few years and in an ideal world I would like to see the three platforms united so games can be played together, think of a racing game where the players in that race are playing on the XBOX, PC and PS4 its not totally insane we just need someone to make it happen rather that contributing to the divide with exclusive content and games.
Looks like a good game from what I have seen of the console version lets hope they put some effort into the port with graphical options, higher res textures and no capped FPS.
I also viewed depression as a sign of weakness and going to see a doctor about it never even crossed my mind, at my lowest point I didn't leave the house, I work from home so any form of human interaction was very limited this carried on for over 6 years. It wasn't just depression that I struggle/struggled with but anxiety as-well, the thought of talking to people would make my hands shake and my stomach would feel like a washing machine. Due to not leaving the house I was over-weight and I think this was a massive contributing factor to the reason I felt the way I did. At the end of 2010 I decided that enough was enough and I decided to tackle the issue myself by forcing myself to go out, I started by going on a walk everyday I was very unfit when I started and it was bad enough that an hour of walking was very painful. As time went on it got easier and easier I started eating healthier food and I got a bike as-well, I haven't reached my target weight yet but I am a lot happier than I was about my appearance. When I first started walking it would take nearly 75 minutes for me to walk the route that I created, but now I can complete the walk in under 45 minutes. During the week I go for a walk twice a day and I do this not just for my physical fitness but for my mental fitness because it gives me chance to put problem into perspective and work out ways of sorting them out its helped me so much and I would highly recommend this approach to other people who are suffering with depression or anxiety. Today my anxiety isn't really an issue I still get nervous about meeting new people but its not sending me into an uncontrollable shake like it was, depression occasionally returns but usually after I have experienced a setback rather than just randomly happening and so far I have snapped out of it after a few days. I haven't reached all of my goals yet but one of my goals is to find a new job where I will be working with people rather than from home.
