I'm no native English speaker, but "has been" just sounds like it was in the past and is present no longer.

So to me that sentence just implies that the "era" is over.

Probably only watched Monaco, Vegas and Singapore or something.

Some races someone builds a giant lead, or barely any overtakes happen. But overall this season has been a good one.

Is in*

Well at least they put effort in. The next races always feel like a dead crowd, to the point they might just as well not be there.

#NotMyUltimateGame

All kidding aside, I personally enjoyed Helldivers 2 most this year. I had a good feeling about the game before it launched, but it was nice to have it confirmed. I tried Black Myth, but it's really not my type of game, to me it just feels like yet another Souls-like game in a different theme, like so many others that came before in the past decade. Feels like HD2 added something new to the table as opposed to BMW.

That's a pretty insane clickbait title.

Maybe they just thought they found an abandoned Asian kid at the airport lol 😂

His review is certainly most accurate.

I only played like an hour and I encountered so many of the issues he mentioned in his review, on top of crashing to desktop when I first fired a gun in the open world. It also runs absolutely abysmal on high-end hardware, reminds me a lot of Starfield's debacle.

I had hoped the gargantuan day one patch would've fixed some things. But I have no idea what it did.

It's quite baffling how this game got 81% rating on Steam right now. If it were EA or Ubisoft this would've been an Overwhelmingly Negative game for sure. There also were like thousands of positive reviews barely minutes after launch.

Game needs at least several months more in the oven, and then I doubt it would be all fixed still. I wouldn't rate this beyond a 5/10 in its current state.

Same could be said for lots of other party controllers that are essentially the same.

Like I have a 8Bitdo Ultimate BT controller, it's essentially an Xbox controller, but it comes with a charging dock and is also compatible with the Switch. It also has hall effect sticks and motion control (for Switch). I preferred the Steam controller's grip over the Xbox controller, on top of the Steam controller having back pedal buttons as well. Plus it comes with a dongle, which has to be bought seperately for the Xbox controller unless you use Bluetooth.

So there are plenty of things that could be done different, ranging from different features to better build quality.

I never understood why Steam didn't just make a variant of the original Steam controller that just had the classical button layout without touchpads. I liked the touchpad version for some games but it's really clunky to use for stuff I'm otherwise used to have sticks for. I really like the Steam controller's grip.

I would've loved the same controller with an Xbox layout or something or even interchangeable parts/layouts. Although that would probably drive up the price a ton.

I can't do it, I would just wake up in the middle of the night instead 😔
