It's possible to buy repairable shoes. They are just not as trendy or cheap as the mass produced fast fashion counterparts.

What was groundbreaking was the character and world building. Joel and Ellie feel like real people, with interesting backstories and relatable emotions. In the PS3 era, it felt ahead of its time.

It's one of my favourite games of all time. I never tire of replaying it on PS4. Really hoping for a PC release though.

Games cost more and more and take longer and longer to make. They need to squeeze every penny out and a rerelease in the next generation is a great way to do that.

Opposing Forces for HL1 is amazing as well. Worth grabbing.

Yeah this type of 'news' is pointless. Regardless of which is better, there is just far more content for Skyrim. Of course it has more longevity.

It's pretty interesting seeing the playercount on Steam over time, especially since Steam only has an entry for "Call Of Duty," where all the games function as DLC. --

MW2's Steam release (no Warzone) - 263k peak players

Warzone's Steam release - 491k peak players

MW3's Steam release (including Warzone) - 190k peak players

Me too, and I don't recall much other competition. Forza Motorsport had promise, but definitely needed another 6mo to cook

I believe it's Michael and not Trevor

More annoying than painful in my opinion.

Still shows as 7 for me - maybe because I'm on Boost

Yeah I meant more of an upgrade. It's mostly the lower end of the battery life specrtrum that I'm left wanting more currently, and going from 2hr to 2.5hr isn't enticing enough for me right now. I also want to get a desktop in the next year or so, so I'll put my money there for now.

Enjoy the new device when it comes! It's clearly an amazing upgrade all-around.

Digital Foundry has a video out praising the OLED deck (Richard called it the best screen on a portable gaming device):

As a deck owner, it's very tempting! If the battery was rated higher, I'd probably bite. As amazing as an OLED would be, it's not enough for me to upgrade already. Glad those who waited can take advantage though.

Can you disable it from launching at startup?

Since it launches through Call of Duty HQ on Steam, I'm surprised there isn't more review bombing there

Me neither. I've been skipping a lot this year, which makes IGNs bundle really enticing for me as well : )

I would agree that the IGN bundle is stronger in terms of quality, but all the games are repeats from previous monthlies. The strength of the November Choice (and choice in general) is that they are always games that haven't been previously bundled (IIRC).

Is it cross play with consoles?

It would depend on what you liked about the game -- if it's the destruction, then definitely consider Battlebit Remastered, or go back to the earlier BF games (BF:BC2 devs worked on The Finals IIRC). Both of those are larger scale than The Finals though.

Often but not always in Germany too
