@Tekarukite: I'd love to see them pull it off. Hell, I wouldn't even be mad that I spent close to three times that building my PC - a PC that can't pump out 120 FPS at 4K. I'm just not sure it's possible without some shenanigans, like the NVMe SSD is a paltry 500GB (with the idea being that large portions of data are stored online rather than on a physical drive), or that 4K is achieved through some upscaling trickery and the 120 FPS is only achieved at what's essentially lower settings, or the ray tracing is real bottom rung and only included so they could say they have it. I've love for them to prove me wrong, because I think it'd be incredibly exciting to see consoles finally matching (if not exceeding) PC performances, but it's seems so unbelievable at this point that I can't even get excited for this.

I'm still skeptical about how they're going to deliver all that they're touting at a consumer-friendly price. It sounds like they're promising high end gaming PC performance. I mean, a potential 120 FPS at 4K? Nvidia's $1200+ GPUs can't even consistently deliver that, especially on the most demanding titles (or the poorly optimized ones, like everything in Ubisoft's catalog), and that's before you enable the performance-crushing option of ray tracing. Then you still have to factor in the expense of a reasonably sized NVMe SSD and, presumably, a considerable amount of RAM. How do you package all that - along with a controller - and get it into homes for around $500?

I'd love to be excited for this, but it seems way too pie in the sky right now. I need to see a Digital Foundry in-depth analysis before I can believe this is anything more than marketing hype - hype that's so outlandish it feels deceptive as hell.

The first Star Wars game I ever played was probably Star Wars: Death Star Battle on the Atari 2600. (Because I'm old.) But the earliest Star Wars games I have the most vivid memories of are the Super Star Wars games on the SNES. I played the hell out of those games. Then, when I got my first PC for college, it was all about games like TIE Fighter, X-Wing, Dark Forces, and Jedi Knight.

"The first 10 games from Humble Choice have been revealed. They include Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Blasphemous, and Phantom Doctrine, in addition to seven others."

Or, in other words, "There are these three games you should absolutely grab, and then seven other garbage titles that fell out of a Fanatical mystery bundle."

While not horrible, the Dualshock - every iteration - just doesn't feel great in the hands. I wish they'd fix that.

I mostly just want the urine controller.

@silv3rst0rm: It would have to be stupidly dirt cheap for me to ever consider buying a refurbished product. Yeah, you usually get a 30-day warranty, but it's still a massive gamble. And I've seen enough videos evaluating the typical 'refurb' job on electronics to trust that they're putting things back together in the quickest, cheapest, laziest way possible. Doesn't instill me with much confidence.

What a clueless douchenozzle.

If creating content is your f***ing job, you should conduct yourself like a damn professional, starting with not cheating. If you have millions of followers - probably the vast majority of them younger viewers - you are, whether you like it or not, something of a role model and you should aspire to be a positive influence on your audience and the gaming community. Content creators should be held to a higher standard because they're making money of playing/streaming these games, and toxic behavior - whether it's trolling, cheating, or verbally assaulting other players - is detrimental to the game and the community and it's wholly unacceptable, especially by these pseudo-celebrities. And if they actually cared about preserving their livelihood, they would hold themselves to a higher standard and not act like the rules don't apply to them.

And if Epic buckles on this and reverses the ban, then f*** Epic. At that point, they will have conceded that these influences hold all the power and are more important to their games than the average joe who's playing just because they enjoy the game, not because they're pulling a paycheck from it.

I really wish Sony would stop with those fugly red "Greatest Hits" logos/cases. Why take your biggest and best games and dress them up like hideous dumpster clowns?

I don't know what it is, but this game just seems...slow. Everything, from the conversations to the combat, just has a very sluggish, sleepy quality about it. The combat, especially. It's not the fast-paced adrenaline rush of your typical shooter, but neither does it have the more calculated tension of a Fallout or Dishonored. It seems rather bland and lifeless. Just, whenever I watch footage of the game, I feel the life draining out of me, like I'm in dire need of a triple espresso or I'm going to slip into a coma.
