  • In my opinion this is the best outcome. The technology is not ready, and it’s potential for abuse is far greater than it’s potential for good at present. It needs another 10 years minimum to ensure it can at least be controlled to some extent. Breaking these models is trivially easy at the moment.

    Microsoft won’t put it on ice, but maybe they’ll fuck it up badly enough that people will forget about it for a while. We’re currently at the “VR in the 80’s” point in the journey, imo.

    Lol, you can dream, just don’t pre-order.

    Edit: actually, going to expound on this. I predict the following:

    An initially buggy, but impressive engine with a mediocre, and probably too short single player story that will be overshadowed by always online crap that you can’t turn off. There will be one or two missions that are news-worthily provocative in some way, featuring overly graphic sex and/or really REALLY violent. You’ll probably have the option to play it in co-op mode. It will ship with online multi-player. will have game breaking micro transactions from the start, and the online space will be utterly toxic from day 1. They will milk this engine for the next 20 years until it (and we) beg for death. You will be able to dance. Like in fortnite, dance.



  • Willing to throw my hat into the ring here and say that I haven’t even bought it yet because I know my pc can’t handle it. I will wait for performance patches (or look at finally upgrading my 5 year old pc)

    I also think they’ve done everything right. They called it out BEFORE release, but released anyway for the subset of players who can play, with the promise of improving it for the rest.

    The ones who can play it got lucky, the ones who can’t and are all pissed about it are the same ones who would be bitching if it got delayed.







  • I think my experience was pretty non typical, but ye, I did NOT have a good time.

    Long story short, there was student in the room, so instead of just getting it over with as quickly as possible, my guy was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow to numb me, and not before he’d shown her how to enter the fucking konami code into my nutsack. At one point I actually sat up and asked just what the fuck he was doing, because I was in so much discomfort. It probably lasted 15 - 20 minutes total, but it felt like eternity.

    Other than that, it was fine though. Felt like I’d been kicked in the nuts for a few days afterwards, but then it was all good. Still got a month to go before I get the all clear though.
