Just think of it being compatible with Steam VR.

You can play Half-Life Alyx then.

VR is a meme. 10 years later or so and there's one (1) game worth playing.

Just think of all those PSVR2 games you can play like...

I expect it to be awful so I can only be pleasantly surprised and not disappointed.

Is it as buggy as I've heard reports of? People falling through the floor, events not triggering, etc...

Just download K-Lite Codec Pack. It'll install and set up the most modern version of MPC with all the codecs you need.

Nightfire is the best Bond game, both single and multiplayer.

There already is an easy mode. It's called using mimic summons.

Has any Souls DLC been worth $40?

Well no - because they've never been sold for that much. If FromSoft think that $40 is a good price for the Elden Ring DLC pack, then perhaps we're talking a hell of a lot of content here.

For proof of this, just go onto any news Twitter account (as an example BBC News) and click onto any tweet.

The comments are filled with blue checkmarks saying things like: "Wow", "Really, that's interesting", "Best wishes", "I can't believe it".

You know that they're all bots getting paid $0.001 per view, so it's probably some guy in India who registered about 1000 accounts and hopes to make some sort of profit based on Elon's genius idea to pay people to post on Twitter.

It's probably one of the big reasons why I like CE. Smaller forums like this are filled with real people. And are not filled with garbage bots baiting for views.

I'm pretty sure that GranTurismo and Smallville are bots. They only post questions and follow up replies are just "Oh, do you really think so?".

Boris Johnson may be popular with a certain sect of Tory voters but to the rest of the population, he's reviled. He would need to win an election to get elected as an MP (doubtful) and the Conservative Party would need to agree to make him leader (even more doubtful).

So basically, a pretty much impossible event. Liz Truss has more chance of becoming PM again than Boris. And if polling numbers are to be believed, we're looking at a Conservative wipeout at the next election.

Please tell me where I'm giving Sony a pass in my post? I just explained why customers aren't switching to Xbox. I think Sony removing digital content from their video services is abhorrent and I applaud Microsoft for their focus on backwards compatibility. These corporations aren't your friends, you don't need to defend them so much. They're here to sell you their next product. Microsoft has a massive history of anti-consumer behaviour as well as Sony. Neither company are angels. The Xbox One used games debacle was only rowed back because of the massive backlash to it. Who can forget Don Mattrick's "Just buy an Xbox 360" answer to the question about people without a solid Internet connection?

Sony was punished for their arrogance with the PS3 launch. Microsoft got a kicking for the Xbox One launch. Nintendo too, if we count the Wii U. The difference is that both Sony and Nintendo turned it around. Phil Spencer hasn't changed Xbox's fortunes.

It's very telling that despite all the hype, the PS5 has a whopping 13 console exclusives, many of which are VR games LMAO.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Fenriswolf posted...

Because it was supply constrained for nearly two years, and plenty of PS5 games just want to play FIFA and COD.

May I remind you that Horizon Forbidden West is coming out for PC in a few days, and Sony is now more focused on bringing their first party games to PC too?

Both consoles were supply constrained and even though the Series S was easier to find, people still hunted for a PS5 over it. (The Series S unsurprisingly outsold the Series X).

Let's be honest: The Xbox One reveal conference is still haunting Microsoft. It was a disaster and Microsoft shot themselves in the foot and basically gifted the generation to Sony. People started their console digital libraries on PS4 and there's nothing pulling those gamers from the PS ecosystem to the Xbox side. Game Pass console subscriptions have stalled, it only seems to be the PC Game Pass subscriptions which are moving upwards.

Not sure what Horizon has to do with anything. I'm talking about Xbox releasing their games on PC on the same time as Xbox. If/when Sony does the same, they'll encounter the same issue with people being less willing to invest in the next gen of hardware.

LOL considering that Xbox accounts have cross purchase and crossplay, it makes Xbox consoles more attractive to own.

Then why is the PS5 outselling the Xbox Series by almost 3:1? If people want to play Xbox 'exclusives', they'll go to PC. They're not buying the consoles and that's Microsoft's problem.

As good as it is for PC gamers to have this option, it reduces the need for people to invest in Xbox hardware.

Xbox, by making their games release day one on PC, made it pointless to own the console. At least PS5 has exclusives, as few as they are.

Feels like it based on the replies, you could tell that people were using their CPUs as heaters.

It came out in 2020. It's now 2024, so yeah.

Consoles usually last around 7 years before the next gen comes around. It's just the scalping makes you feel like it only came out the other day.

Talk? I asked it a question once. Couldn't really call it a conversation.

I asked Microsoft Co-pilot what the weather was going to be tomorrow. It took over 30 seconds to tell me. I could have found the answer myself in under 5.

Pick one.

Microsoft have forced it down my throat on my operating system, without my permission. There's no way to uninstall it either, just hide it.

I don't get why Russians even entertain the idea of elections any more. We all know it's rigged, just drop the facade. You may as well just announce Putin won the election now with 114% of the vote.

Life's too short to watch a 4 hour YouTube video from someone I've never heard of.

I really enjoyed Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition and Zack Snyder's Justice League. The Suicide Squad was also fun too.

The rest are awful, it's clear that Warner Bros wanted the cinematic universe that Marvel had but didn't want to wait and put in the work and just rushed it out.

Yes, but there's no way I'm paying 2.99 extra a month for ad free videos on Prime.

Outside of Clarkson's Farm, most of the Prime Originals are awful.

Is this old EU canon or Disney canon?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he would rather a Joe Biden presidency over Donald Trump ahead of the US election this November.

Mr Biden was the more experienced, predictable person, he said in remarks sure to raise eyebrows.

Before Mr Trump's first run for president in 2016, Mr Putin had praised him as "outstanding and talented".

Mr Biden has been a fierce critic of Mr Putin for years, calling him a "killer" before the invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian president also remarked on his recent interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson, saying he had found it disappointing because the questions had not been sharp enough.

Speaking to Russian TV in an on-camera interview on Wednesday, Mr Putin said Mr Biden's leadership would be better for Russia because he was a "more experienced person, he is predictable, he is a politician of the old formation".

He dismissed questions about Mr Biden's age and mental health, and said when they had last met in 2021, he had not noticed anything peculiar.

"Even then [three years ago] people were saying that he was incompetent, but I did not see anything of this sort," he said.

"Yes, he kept looking at his papers, but to be honest I kept doing the same. So there was nothing peculiar."

Mr Putin clarified that Russia would work with anyone who "gains the trust of the American public" and wins the presidency.

It wasn't all glowing feedback for Mr Biden, however: Mr Putin described the US president's condemnation of the war in Ukraine as "extremely harmful and erroneous".

In the lead-up to the 2016 US election, Mr Trump had suggested he and Mr Putin would "get along very well".

Mr Trump recently caused outrage when he said he would "encourage" Russia to attack any Nato member that failed to meet the US-led alliance's financial contribution target of 2% of their GDP.

In response, Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg asked Mr Trump not to "undermine" the alliance's collective security guarantee.

So how does Trump spin this?

The Spectre one is so memorable and the best one in the Craig-verse.

I disagree. It somehow manages to make two supercars racing through Rome boring. The Quantum of Solace one, weird editing aside, is much more exciting to watch.

And no platinum.

Is that a euphemism?

New Order and Old Blood are great. New Colossus, as others have said, is a massive disappointment and way too short. I've not even played Youngblood but it seems like it's the bastard child of the Wolfenstein franchise.

It's for YouTube ads where you can skip if you watch 5 seconds of the ad first. They try and cram in enough in the 5 seconds to get you to stay to watch the rest.

Why can't Sony make a Spider-Man movie about any of the other Spider-people? Disney can only stop them from making one about Peter Parker.

Disney can't stop them making a Spider-Man movie about Peter Parker either. Sony own the film rights to everything Spider-Man related. If tomorrow they wanted to make a new Spider-Man film with a new Peter they could do.

What about that castle you always see him at in pictures? Does it still exist?
I don't know if it was even a castle.

The Berghof? It was mostly destroyed by the RAF during the final few months of the year and after the war completely demolished.

Harry announced his intention to marry Meghan in 2017 and did so in May 2018. If we're going to take your graph as proof, then it seems that he was still very popular before and after he married. Personally, I don't remember anyone making a deal of her race at the time and everyone seemed happy with another royal wedding. Of course, there may have been articles in the tabloids like the Daily Mail but as far as I can remember I don't remember any controversy over her race in the every day chatter - more so that she was divorced.

This popularity chart from just before his wedding seem to suggest that both he and Meghan were well liked at the time.

If Harry wanted to step back from the royal family then do so. His constant need for attention is what soured the public on him and you know it. How many books is he on now? You really think that everyone hates him because he married a "black chick" as you call her?

There's no denial that places like the Daily Mail and Express were racist but to suggest that the British public hate Meghan (and by extension Harry) because of their race is idiotic.

By Marrying a black chick and that's true.

Which he did after outrage due to marrying a black chick

You're talking like "Harry Tanked his reputation!" because he.... Responded to the immense amount of attacks he recieved that did damage to his reputation the moment he married a black chick.

It's stupid and untrue.

You can't pretend the response is the cause and while doing so ignore the cause.

No-one likes the gutter press in the UK so it'd be fair game for him to go after people like Piers Morgan and most people would be right behind him.

But what turned everyone against him was playing the victim card and airing his dirty laundry in public. Going on Oprah, releasing a Netflix documentary, releasing 2 books and a Spotify podcast. In addition to stepping back from royal duties while still wanting the benefits that a Prince would get.

He's a member of one of the most privileged families in the world and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The public have expectations of him and he's proving himself to be childish and they don't like it. They expect him to do his duty. Harry's approval ratings are consistently low while William's are consistently high.

Was there a need for me to post again? I told you that Harry tanked his own reputation and that's true. Just look at how popular he is. Both him and Meghan were well regarded by the general public (not the newspapers mind you) until he stepped away from the royal family.

He doesn't think how this would affect America's place in the world. America would basically sever ties with the entirety of Europe. Other countries aligned to the US elsewhere in the world would wonder is it worth it being allies to a country that could just rip up any agreement it's signed?

Instead of Making America Great Again, he'd make it the weakest it's ever been.

Could you really call it an interview? Putin gives a 30 minute lecture on Russian history while some clown attempts to interrupt him.

Following Microsoft's lead with Windows?

solosnake posted...

That is a looooong time ago

I know, but it stuck with me as reinstalling Windows is a pain in the ass. I'm sure it's "fine" now but I'd rather not take the risk, personally. I don't know what the other guy's issues with it are but it's probably something to do with Microsoft not understanding their own OS.

solosnake posted...

Not sure why you say that? Ive never had an issue with it. Which games were giving you problems? Are you sure your hardware wasnt the issue?

Not him, but when I last used the Windows Store (on Windows 8) it was so bad. Applications would get stuck and not download and then that'd cause Windows Update to fail. The only solution was to reinstall Windows.

From then, I swore never to use the Windows Store if I could help it. And the Xbox app uses the Windows Store. I'd be more willing to use it if it was a standalone application and not baked into the operating system.
