It's banned here in dubai and have searched everywhere for an early copy, no luck :(

XxINFERNUSxX1501d ago

If it's banned and you have a PC you can wait for a torrent of it. Use a VPN to hide your IP then go to your fav torrent site :D

Hey we don't need to let everyone know about this lol 😁 DM

MadLad1500d ago

The glory of the internet.
Don't get me wrong, I legitimately only use emulation and, even then, I only emulate games from decades ago, but processes like this I like to see.
You're a gamer. You should have access to the games you want to play.

Just buy a key from any reputable site. That's what I did with Spec Ops: The Line, which is banned as well.

HansyJ1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

Why the heck is it banned there anyways?

zsquaresoff1500d ago

Because of homosexual relationships you can have between characters, last of us 2 was banned here too.

Best part is all the content is on the two discs so nothing to download. I was really afraid the EA would put half of the content on disk and the other half on downloadable voucher

But this is the most complete version on physical disks

VersusDMC1501d ago

Well it has a day 1 11GB patch...so i don't think any game will be complete on disk again.

neutralgamer19921501d ago

Day one patches usually are for stability and other bug/glitch fixing that they could not take care of before sending the discs for certification. I watched a YouTube unboxing and disk one is the play disk and disk 2 is the data disk

XxINFERNUSxX1501d ago

Never played any of them, so now I will. My PC is more than ready 😀 5800x/3070/240hz 1080p gsync for all the FPS 👍

MadLad1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

With the options had on PC, you would be surprised.
With some tweaking, you can make games look amazing at something as easy as 1080p.
If you want to legitimately maximize frame rate, not even the best cards will manage throwing on Ultra settings and not taking a hit.

Console players always speak on resolution and FPS, but don't acknowledge the visual ramifications taken to make that happen.

It wasn't long ago 30fps was "perfectly fine", yet now that there's actual options, it's unplayable garbage.

I legitimately enjoy watching console only players play mental gymnastics between this and last gen.

Sunny123451500d ago

Lol, when you forget the pc he is talking about is easily 4 times more expensive than a console. You want a fair comparison, make a pc for $400(coz that's how much I paid for ps5), and then talk

MadLad1500d ago

@sunny

How much do you pay for online through the console's lifecycle?
How much extra do you pay for games, being that digital is now the largest demographic of players, and there's no competing storefronts to offer competitive prices.

You don't realize you're paying in other places to subsidize the cost of the hardware.

The 4× the cost argument is a joke, unless you're going by current day reseller pricing. If that's the case, you can just take a look at PS5 resellers at the moment. Nobody can get anything at MSRP unless they are really lucky. PC, or console.

XxINFERNUSxX1500d ago

1080p by choice, why would I want a performance hit going to 1440p or 4k? Most newer games that push the GPU will take a pretty good hit at 1440p and 4k, even 1080p will take a hit. Example if a game can get 60-70fps at 1440p with max settings and at 1080p 100fps and beyond there is no way I would pick 1440p. When the FPS increases at 1440p to where 1080p is then I will upgrade. I really want to wait until the FPS we have in 1080p are the same at 4K then no doubt I will buy a 4K high end panel 😀

Aggesan1500d ago

All you need is a 3090

1nsomniac1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

1440p is really not that taxing on even modest cards these days. I generally tend to reach the 100fps point on the latest games at max settings with my 2070 super. 4K yea I’d agree with you, it’s overkill but why on earth would you choose below a 1440p resolution is beyond me. Playing 1080p these days looks like the equivalent of 540p 5 years ago. It’s horrible, blurry mess. It’s like having the choice of watching a blu-ray or VHS of your favourite film and choosing to watch the vhs. That’s jus not very smart. With your card id expect you to be hitting 120fps at 1440p with this game. Or around 90fps at 4K.

XxINFERNUSxX1500d ago

Here's an example of my monitor @ 1080p playing an older MMO Guild Wars 2. I'm using reshade to make it look even better, not bad for an almost 9yr old game. Still looks sharp. 😀 https://ibb.co/v1yVnZW Click to load full resolution or it will look bad.

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1777d ago (Edited 777d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183777d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken776d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth776d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1776d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 777d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account776d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1776d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account775d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290777d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183777d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290777d ago (Edited 777d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden776d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken776d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin776d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken775d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg777d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop777d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183777d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183777d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken776d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1776d ago (Edited 776d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...
