Mass Defect...
...And so it begins.
I don't know why anyone preorders games anymore (or even buy day one). They all are released unfinished and buggy and need two or three patches months after release to be playable. Preordering just encourages this practice.

You've now made it pretty clear you don't understand what the words "the average" means.
It means the game is getting scores that average 8.5 not that 8.5 is average.
If they want to play downgraded laggy versions let them. Not only can't you own anything the quality is crap with streaming. It would be an ok way of demoing something you are interested in, then buying the native version if you like it but that is about it.
Seems like much screwing around. Collectible item balloons? You know those icons with lines running down all over the place. It is a dumb system, they should have done it like Skyrim, quest indicator on top (not floating around the screen everywhere), items only showing as names when you get close and put your cross-hairs on them, and allow transparency adjustment.
You can't shut off the main yellow on screen quest marker with step counter or collectable item balloons. I tried.
To play and OWN the best quality native versions. Streaming is crap quality with laggy inputs and everything is a rental only.
Use your head.
Unless somehow they will magically upgrade all internet infrastructure I say no.
Netflix is downgraded quality. You are ruining the experience if you care just a little about quality. Most don't I guess which is why streaming is so big. It seems quality always takes a back seat to laziness and low quality. The problem is that eventually no one will have a choice and low quality and no ownership will be the only option when physical media is eliminated due to popularity.
But PC gamers all brag about their uber rigs. If they are rich enough for the latest CPU and twin titans surely they could buy a cheap PS4 for exclusives if they wanted them that bad.
My internet connection says otherwise. If I had to stream games they would all be shit and I would never bother.
#11, allow that damn annoying yellow quest marker and item icon balloons to be shut off. Those truly spoil the immersion and look of the game. I am not an imbecile, I don't need my hand held.
Streaming is DRM:the next generation. Now you REALLY don't own anything. Plus blown data caps and glitchy play is the norm. Screw that, the day they go to all streaming is the day I don't game any more.
To bad they don't let you shut off that annoying yellow quest marker that leads you around by the nose. Also those stupid icons near plants etc are so distracting and immersion breaking. Beautiful graphics are spoiled by all of those damn markers. They let you customize the HUD EXCEPT for the most irritating thing! The marker system in Skyrim was so much better and less intrusive (and you could adjust opacity). Who ever designed the Horizon system should be fired, it almost ruins the...
I don't like publishers telling me what devices I can and can't play on with their crap DRM. I don't like needing an internet connection to sign into to ask permission to play a game. They assume that everyone has internet and that it is cap-less and super fast. That is not always true. I don't want to be at the mercy of publishers who can flip a switch and make my games not work. All of this "digital future" BS is just a way to convince you that owning content ...
There are still too many disadvantages to digital download, at least on consoles.
You can't sell, trade, lend, it can take DAYS to download something if you don't have great internet and if you don't have internet you are left out completely. You don't really own digital content, it can be pulled at any time for any reason, once you buy a disc you own it. To move digital content you need to "phone home" to ask permission, physical you just put th...
4K 4K 4K, I guess everyone now has a 4K TV? Who cares, I would rather see things more noticeable like better frame rate,better lighting, and better draw distance. Unless you sit a foot away from the screen the bump in resolution will be diminishing returns the finer the pixel size gets. This goes for both the pro and Scorpio, just adding more res is a waste of power. Just think of the graphics a Scorpio could pump out at 1080p.
I guess always online required DRM is a resounding success. Expect that to become the standard, people don't seem to mind.
The thing is Bioware is only a name now, it shares almost nothing in common from the original studio except the name. EA and their bean counters got in and destroyed them.
