As an avid Gunnar fan I started with extreme hesitation and have since grown to love the style and enhancement from Gunnar and their entire product line!

You still need to grab another pair and send to me for my own review. ;)

Looks great!

All in all sC puts a stamp of approval on the Gunnar lineup!

Wait... what...?

I find that if you cant see "enemies" in shadows, I just turn up the brightness a pinch, and voila. Enemies are easily spotted.

Heck, I've been addicted to BFBC2 lately and regardless of how far or where they're hiding, for some reason that game lets you see players stick out like a sore thumb (perhaps for good reason.)

I think it's just another company trying to cash in on the gaming world selling these glasses. Then again, if it works for some people, by all means purchase it. I just have better things to spend my money on. Like Kinect, it's soooo hardcore yah know.

I thought the same thing at first, however after hours of continued screen usage, the eye strain was alleviated while using a pair of Gunnar Optiks.

You don't have to buy these over priced ones you can go to any hardware store, buy Amber safety glasses for around $20 and they work exactly the same. I worked for large factories and mills in my past with fluorescent lighting everywhere and tried a new pair of safety glasses they gave me, amber ones. They really make they area around you brighter and more crisp looking. Basically the amber lenses is filtering out certain light frequencies that crappy fluorescent lights emit causing your clarity and contrast to improve. I think they used to have similar glasses out longer that before for night driving with people who had problems driving at night from glare.

This company was just smart enough to cash in on it and make people think there's are some new tech that they can produce better to gamers or the video tech industry even though the amber safety glasses have been around for a long time. I first wore a pair over 10 years ago and still wear amber safety glasses at work because they do make the fluorescent lit indoor environments around you brighter, better looking, and reduce eyestrain.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

The merchandising on this franchise has gotten out of control. I dug the early stuff (still got my Fallout4 CE Pip-boy computer on my shelf) but at this point it feels like they care more about merchandising than actually making you know... more Fallout games.

Inverno200d ago

They gotta hype the show up as much as possible, last trailer looked good but all these adaptations so far have been hugely disappointing. Well excluding Last of Us and One Piece, those were pretty darn fantastic.

-Foxtrot200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

The issue is Bethesda are being dick heads and refuse to give anyone Fallout because THEY want to make them but by the time they get Elder Scrolls VI out the door and then start making Fallout 5 you're looking at 2030 at the earliest.

Microsoft shouldn't have green lit The Outer Worlds 2 but had Obsidian do a spiritual successor to New Vegas or make remakes of the first two Fallout games in the style of Bethesdas Fallout games.

Merch wise I'm super surprised they've never made a fully functional Pipboy with the screen built into the entire thing rather than us using our mobile phones.

mastershredder200d ago

Pointless cheep brand merch. Bethesda paves the way. Dude, the special gamer glasses grift was done and buried, yet here’s Bethesda with more high quality (happy meal-level) products for the waste bin.

Eonjay200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

To any of my folks in the US folks, speaking of sunglasses, make sure you get some ISO glasses for April 8th!!!!
Anyone here gonna be in totality? I'm in 80%... I might plan a trip though, its only an hours drive to totality.

Abnor_Mal199d ago

I’m in New York and ready for April 8, have my glasses multiple pairs. My camera tripod and 150-600mm lens are at the ready.
