Spent the evening playing Apex Legends (ugh that name) and it's actually fun as gently caress? I feel like it makes a ton of smart updates to the formula.

Just being able to revive teammates is huge. I revived a guy on my team when there were only 4 total people remaining, turning a 1v3 into a 2v3. It keeps death from being frustrating and instead you're waiting to see if your teammates can turn the tables.

Hope people give it a chance. I know it's not Titanfall 3 but it still feels great to play and I feel like Respawn really put a lot into it.

I haven't and I will never play BR but the funny thing here is that a F2P game seems to be playable normally whereas the demo of a 7-year-development AAA game was a shitshow of epic proportions.

So I just spent 45 minutes explaining to MS phone support that my win10 pro did not activate after swapping my mobo even though I had an ms live account and it even recognized my pc.

Turns out if you upgraded to win 10 for free a while ago you may need a completely new key now. My guess is they try trick unsuspecting users into buy a new key. Would explain why it points you towards the store immediately.

What does this have to do with games?
I upgraded from an AMD 4670k 4c4t to a ryzen 2600x 6c12t CPU, still using my rx480 grfx card for 1080p gaming.
My FPS in BFV went from ~70 to 120-150 depending on the map and The Division is buttery smooth at almost all ultra settings, too.

This is bonkers!

Too good for 60 FPS, huh?

Nope, still on a 60hz monitor :negative:

Wait, so if you're on a 60hz monitor how is an FPS jump from 70 - 120 even recognizable to you?

BFV is much smoother and snappier because there are now 0 dips under 60 at all and I guess its because the cpu doesn't struggle. As much with calculating object positions etc.
In the division I was able to crank up the details from medium to ultra with a few exceptions on high. It is mostly visual fidelity with that game, but before, turning around was stuttery even though it was at 60 fps. I can't explain why but I assume it was the same bottleneck with non-gpu related proceasing of objects.

Fools, depression can only be surmounted by overloading your body into a state of total physical exhaustion before the ravages of time and a poor diet can do that for you.

That has to be the most roundabout way you ever said "run a marathon"

I'm genuinely curious why EA pushed this out right next to Apex.

I think you are looking in the wrong direction. A F2P BR game by the same publisher is not a competitor for sales money for a full price loot-shooter with a new IP. The Division 2, a full price loot shooter with an established IP coming out on March 15th by a different publisher is though.
