I run a 240 and it took me a while to get used to it. I could totally see that. Reversing the adjustment would feel super super weird. Its hard to explain best I can for anyone that doesnt run a 144+ is everything runs cleaner and feels so much smoother. You kind of have to experience it to understand. 1 Quote

They have, but knowing EA they'll want to add microtransactions or lock certain racers for more money (despite being in the games regardless). Also, I'm not fully sure but I think it's only the F1 games on a yearly basis. My concern is if they start to request yearly games of everything else with EA's bastardisation process in place as well. Quote

Tbf I can only see EA ruining the F1 games now (and other good games Codemasters made) - those games were pretty polished little games, I really loved the career modes on them. I just don't see how piecing the game out for microtransactions will go well. I was going to say, I hope they retain a bit of their soul like Respawn managed to do under EA. But given how the reboot of Medal of Honour went... and it was Respawn's first stinker (although sometimes I think games that get poor-average reviews aren't as bad, and I've never played it); but they managed to make good games that were fairly pro-consumer and anti-DLC/microtransactions... but kept EA happy by making Apex which makes shitloads on microtransactions (and was a fun game while I played it and I never spent a time - I burned out on battle royales so I'll probably never play it again, but it was my favourite out of those types of games). I hope that's not the case and Respawn's next big game is a big success... but looking at the critical reception of that game compared to the ones I had played is a pretty stark contrast. It's just a shame what EA does to studios... because when EA gets a game right, they usually get it very right. And in an ideal world, Codemasters getting to work with EA's beautiful Frostbite engine should be a LOVELY thing for gamers - but they've just got such a fucked up track record with the studios they buy. Even shit that does well under EA at first suddenly starts to sink, it seems. Quote

In all honesty, you can probably tell that I just generally don't like EA, primarily the way they bastardise certain games or series (Command and Conquer, Dead Space, Timesplitters, Sim City and Burnout being some of them) then piss on those studios by closing them afterwards or picking the corpse. It's why acquisition s like this make you fear for the studio being bought really. Unfortunately, it's just a case of wait and see now I guess. 1 Quote

I'm with you on EA... but I've still played some good EA games in recent years. But quite frankly those games are sort of more the exception than the rule. Quote

Bluebird Hewitt Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) A quick question for @nudge and I think @Dr. Gonzo and @Mel81x as well. How long did it take you to finish Star Wars Jedi:Fallen Order in general? Edited March 4, 2021 by Bluebird Hewitt Quote

I didn't do 100% of all collectibles though, just went through the main story. Quote

I only ask as I saw that EA Play is available on the PS Store and while I'm not generally interested in it overall, there's an introductory month offer of 79p and Fallen Order is one of the games. Could be tempted by that just to give Fallen Order a go. Quote

I usually lose interest very quickly and seldom finish most of the games that I start, but I thoroughly enjoyed that one. Quote
