I’m sorry, but don’t you have some sort of repair warranty for the FLX1s? For 500 euros I’d expect them to have a proper policy set in place, either that or a straight refund. It’s just february, consumer tech usually has 2 years of certified warranty… or is that a thing in Europe only?
I’d be pretty pissed if a thing I bought mere months ago started giving issues so easily.
I understand the appeal of the game, but I can also see why the glazing on rockstar’s titles can get annoying. News outlets are making titles for basic RPG features because the more casual gamer is eating those up as if they are mesmerizing new features… which I guess they are, to the franchise, but definitely not to gaming as a whole.
In the end, this will probably be RDR2 in an urban setting. It’ll have a blockbuster type of story which will try to appeal to the wider audience, usually equaling to watered down tones and generic plot twists. Or maybe I’m wrong and it’ll surprise us all, who knows! From the few minutes of gameplay we’ve seen there’s just the usual lots of talking while in the car, ducking and crouching to shoot.
What I’m most curious about is how they’ll treat the online compartment, however. It is rumored that Rockstar never expanded GTA5 with DLCs because they were cashing out on online features. Yet they made it clear they understood people’s attraction to roleplay by sponsoring NoPixel’s new beta version (which is really just a glorified streamer server for now).
We’ll see. I personally doubt this will be “the game of the decade” in the sense of bringing new things to the table. Similarly to how RDR2 was more of a technical feat in terms of acting and movie-like immersion more than anything else.
