It's the space wild west. I'll be shocked if bolt actions that fire green lasers aren't in there somewhere.

There's definitely a space revolver though right? Six heat sinks, used sequentially?

Yeah, the viper and the widow were both effectively bolt action, just without magazines.

Peebee's default gun is confirmed to be a space revolver.

Most of the sniper rifles are effectively bolt action. The Viper in ME2 and the Black Widow in ME3 are among the few with a multi-shot magazine.

I think Eej is specifically asking for a bolt action style rifle without a scope. Like a Space Mosin-Nagant rather than a Space Garand.

The closest is probably the Blood Pack Executor pistol with its single shot heat clips. I think its the only non-sniper rifle with that feature in ME3.

I know you can levitate enemies and psionically rail gun them into other enemies from a distance, or close up. Don't know if you can Vanguard Charge and throw them like a football, though.

Console versions are nice for people without the funds to upgrade their PCs, so there is that.

I want this game, but A: I don't have a PS4/XBone and B: I'm too poor to afford a PC upgrade or one of those consoles.

a modern gfx card to last for two+ years and 8GB of ram plus this game would cost less than either console and the game, by about $100-$200 dollars.

Sorry, homie. Wish you could play it. Although, if you can play Me3 on your comp, you could likely play this.

I live in NZ, the import fees levied on computer parts are insane. I could pay for a new GPU on Amazon and pay almost half again on the fees to ship it here.

Also I think Frostbite 3 is just a tiny bit more taxing than UE3 :v:

Speaking of specs, have system requirements come out yet?

Ah, sorry. I mean that the nature of playing games on a console is a heck of a lot more chill to me. I turn on the TV, turn on the PS4 and lounge about on the sofa while I play.

I have a really nice gaming PC, but even though my chair is comfortable it's a different poise, a different kind of setup with the keyboard/mouse/monitor.

I'm not sure if that makes too much sense and it is probably very psychological and only affects me.

Actually, not by much if you turn down some of the bells and whistles. Most motherboards and CPUs and poo poo for the past 3 or 4 years would run it fine - it really is a gfx thing for most modern games. It's cool if you can't play it, though; I respect your authority in this matter of what will and won't run on your computer.
Also, Import fees're hosed up. Sucks, man

It's the opposite for me, if I sit down with a controller in a chilled out position I get bored very fast and can only play 1 hour at a time of a game. Whereas if I'm on my computer and closer to my screen, it kind of immerses me into the game

You can't lie down on a chair in front of a big tv. I've got a great PC set up and I'm spoiled as poo poo, but I go PC for fps and strategy, tv for anything over the shoulder where I want to maximise being a fat poo poo.

Mine's in black and I've had it for about 8 years now. Fantastic chair. Better than the one I use at work even.

Just make sure to remove the armrests and throw them away because you don't need or want those on any chair.

Or keep them if you want. Your lats and tendons are your business.

Get something ergonomically rated for 8+ hours. You'll have to trawl through manufacturer websites once you find a range you like and (ideally) a local supplier.

I couldnt find a good computer chair that reclined down to chill position , I ended up going with a volair sim setup because i could swap nice seats onto it that reclined. I put a recaro in there but its a bit overkill (to put it mildly)

Don't buy a computer chair. They're trash. Get an executive grade chair suitable for all day usage. (something actually certified for this, not some junk marketing claim)

You will pay more but your back will thank you.
