Then I got Xbox One. Then PS4. Then Switch. Then PSVR. And I took my PS4/PSVR places. So I never did any management once I had all that crap. But once I get XSX I don't see having to mess with anything for a while. And I'm more anal about cable management now too with the arcade stuff I've been working on so it bothers me more now too. Also, the haptic triggers on the DS5 are INSANE. It's hard to explain how awesome they are until you just feel it. The way they are used in Astrobot is impressive and a great showcase of what is to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Early thoughts on Just Cause 3: The lack of a tutorial kind of sucks for someone that didn't play JC 1 or 2. I did the part where they introduce you to tethers and it just said, "here are tethers, destroy everything in this area." It took me 15 minutes to figure it out (in my defense, I was fairly drunk). So, I very much enjoy the concept of the game (destroy things) but the learning curve is fairly steep for what should be a pretty basic game.

Mr. Sinister Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 It can take a bit, due to the staggering amount of ways in which you can extinguish life. It'll learn you in time, tho 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) From what I remember, it was easier to start basic with the grapple gun. Get used to using it to grapple hook into buildings, on rooftops, and on attacking helicopters. Making it a combat focal point (hooking and throwing people, etc) came a bit later, and the Spider-Man style of traversing the environment with it came a bit after that.

KDawg Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 By the way, the QVC bundle yesterday was quality... it included a plastic holder for games... a useless splitter cable... a game... a PS4... ps FOUR controller skin. And a generic charging dock... for 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Finally got my Series X from Amazon. By the looks of the packaging and the hole in the Series X box, I'd say this thing was thrown around quite a bit. Not too happy about it. The UPS delivery guy was kind of a piece of **** as well and gave me the impression he didn't treat the package with much respect. Downloading Valhalla now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) UPS guys I've seen around have definitely been extra as of late. Pretty reckless on the road. Edited November 21, 2020 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 I swear I haven't associated with UPS in like 14 years. But I absolutely wouldve destroyed a package if I knew it was AC:Valhalla. Not out of malice, but out of love. For your protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are run tighter than others. The one I worked out of was a backwater by comparison to others. They mostly cared about quota/volume, and so long as packages weren't damaged to the point of complaint, and there wasn't an extensive history, or an audit, those guys would just look the other way while dudes would toss the hell out of stuff. Big stuff, little stuff, fragile stuff. Didn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't use the bubble wrap on all sides so the Series X box was clearly shifting and hitting the outer box. Its working fine and it seems more solid than previous consoles. I was worried about it being bigger but its a great size and the shape is better. I like the controller too. Slightly(very) smaller with better grip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurd Cudins Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Upon further inspection the Series X box has two inch thick foam padding that encases the console. Whatever put the hole in the box was stopped by that. Good looking out Microsoft. **** you Amazon and UPS.

Mr. Sinister Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yeah, after working with them, you kinda start to understand what you're ok ordering online, and what you're just gonna have to go physically pick up. The pandemic obviously makes this harder to accomplish right now though. I've personally witnessed so much destruction, mostly TV's and computers and lamps, just shattering into a million pieces when they come flying off the chute (because some greenhorn greased the hell out of it).
