    I don’t know what a lunchtime break is anymore ??

    I’m surprised to see this pushed through after every chance of proper sequels were squashed, and Ridley effing up the prequels.

    I’m the sense that fans are interested, but I wonder how much interest this generates in new gamers that are too young to be into the franchise like we are.

    People complain there's no good SP games, then an amazing one comes out, and they say to themselves: "I'll play it later... lemme hop on dust2 match for the billionth time real quick."

    Then the sales aren't as good as they could be. It's a shame we won't see any new dishonored game anytime soon.

    For the record, I may not play but I do buy all of these. Not at D1 cos makes no sense (cost+when I’m actually gonna play it), but I do my part to keep SP alive ?

    Theres also to be said the immersive sims are particularly intimidating. Hitman is one of my fav games but I haven’t picked it back up since Blood Money because I know i spent way too many hours on each map.

    First of all, congrats for getting to the test stage of the process.

    It’s very important you generate the map layout for the radar, people can already give some opinions based on that.

    It’s also required for tests I believe. We used to organise tests on the forum but I think now it’s all trough discord, see the topic:

    I haven’t got CSGO installed but was thinking of downloading again, if I do I’ll run around your map.

    Oh wow, they have an editor in the PC version!? I always thought that they kept these games locked down with a chastity belt.

    Are people playing custom content? How does it work. (In terms of finding and using it).

    Same.

    I started the first one way back when, but I was like “I’m very good at Splinter Cell so I can play on the hardest difficulty” – first sequence was very hard and I think I dropped the difficulty. Got to the first narration bit and then never touched again ?

    3 hours ago, ┌HP┘ said: 90 bucks is a stretch, but it does look compelling. My little brother isn't even 20 yet and he just had to go to the doctor this week with tendinitis. People care more about sci-fi designs and neon lights on their hardware, than good ergonomics.

    How's the battery like? Not a fan of wireless input devices, there's more lag and short battery life.

    They had some numbers on here, being 2-year old I wonder if all of a sudden a revision is gonna pop up, that would be annoying.

    @Buddy do you find easy to then switch to a gaming mouse for playing?

    Yeah surely is, can’t remember if I had the chance to see it in person once maybe… but reviewers were pointing out wasn’t just as refined as the most adopted sibling.

    I might still give it a try once finances are a bit restored

    For work it's unbeatable, adapting to it takes an hour or so but then you do not want to go back. Edit: Logitech MX Vertical

    Yup, was very tempted to try, just £100 seems a lot. As pointed out in reviews costs as much as the MX3 but doesn’t have the same build quality and could use of another wheel for the thumb (which actually seems more ergonomic as main wheel to me)

    such a waste of a good setting and art. If this was a pure rollercoaster SP (without being a looter) I would have bought it.

    Wow @ThunderKeil, I’ve never seen a grip like that before!

    @kleinluka I didn’t even know Alienware designs mice; looks bulky but also comfy.

    I tried to get a mid range Logitech with ergonomic design: the G403 Hero… I like how it clicks, but that’s about it: despite weighing as much as the Steelseries I had, it feels heavier (I guess pads are not as smooth) but most importantly I haven’t used it that much but I feel some strain for my index.

    I realised that ergonomic mice demand a palm grip, properly resting on them. I use a kind of fingertip grip, holding the back of the mouse with thumb and pinky, with only the index goes in a claw… so on a taller mouse I had to strain to prevent accidental clicks. I might just try it a bit more on the work computer I just got.

    So i just went with a newer Steelseries similar to my old, the Sensei 310. Immediately felt at home, it actually widens at the back so my thumb and pinky rest a bit better on there. I’m annoyed that for the same price as my old it doesn’t have a braided cable, it’s thicker than the Logi, and the click sound is a bit louder, as well as a bit of a rattle when lifting to reposition… but it just feels better so I think I’ll keep it.

    I guess I could keep trying different ones but feel guilty knowing returns are mostly destined to the landfill ?

    Hey @Kokopelli, how’s the situation with bomb plants? Did you achieve to make it more important?

    I find interesting that in my Wingman experience, I’ve seen more bomb plants in a simple map like Rialto than any other (haven’t played custom tho).

    Yeah dunno, I got it for videos that weren't restricted/violent in the past weeks.

    Ridiculous that the same trailer can be posted unprotected by IGN... I mean isn't it more likely that underage kids follow IGN than WB? Fucking woke companies and their woke policies.

    Whatever... I had linked the original cos I hate IGN and it was playing fine for me, but see below

    What's the problem with that? For a refined experience you have the sequels, this is just nostalgia milk. What am I missing?
