I've never tried FPS on mobile... it's too small for me. Is it good? I play simple games with low graphics on my phone, like: mahjong, scrabble, math games, physics games, 4 pics / 1 word, history games and stuff like that.

Definitely takes some getting used to with controls etc but its so much fun! Its super competitive too because there are max number of players in every match. I used to play Modern Combat 5 on ipad so Iam no stranger to touch controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if I can abandon the keyboard and mouse though. Even with a PS4 controller, I'm not enjoying the thing as much as on my PC. Anyway, it's so good to see what they manage to do on mobile. When I was a kid, if sby had told me that one day there would be beautiful games (more beautiful than the PC games back then) on a 15 cm devices, I wouldn't have believed it. It's progressing so fast. I'm really thinking about buying VR headsets (I'm sure it's the future ). Have you tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I started MC5 was because I was in a long rehab from knee surgery back in early 16. Couldnt sit in a chair or use a pc for long periods of time without hurting.

I got the convertible model. My old pc still rocks though. Excellent display, build quality, internals, and battery life. Got it for a bargain too like 2/3 the price for a similar specced Dell or HP.

I5 with geforce works best imo. I would like to find a desktop with a good cooling system already built in with at least 3 fans and a door. I preserved my desktop for a decade by keeping it open all the time putting a fan backward to cycle out the air. But this summer it finally crashed. I have never used a laptop that didn't have heat problems for long use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means cord cutting isn't going to be as money saving as it used to be as we're gonna need to pay for all these streaming services which will end up being equal to or more than cable.

Cult Icon Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 ^ the leaks are either from France or the Best buy customers that accidently got shipped their unpatched game before release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 what stands out with the leaks the most is the false advertising regarding NPC density. The game looks a lot more empty than I expected and more like other open world titles. Game has detailed art and looks great on the next gen systems. The leaks all indicate a game world with an "empty" feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
