Gorgeous, engaging, and immersive

The visuals are amazing. The set pieces are remarkable. The voice acting is mediocre at the beginning but improves later in the game. The fighting mechanics are methodical and responsive. There's plenty of chance for variation in preferred fighting style. The narrative is wonderfully written and realized.

Missing Essential Features
on August 11, 2017
Posted by: Michael
from Salisbury, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Think smart home brands. What's the first name that comes to mind? In most cases, it's Nest, but somehow SmartThings still doesn't support Nest. The hub also requires a hardwired connection. I purchased the SmartThings Hub to replace my Wink, but the aforementioned missing features were deal breakers for me. I have several Nest products, and I don't have any extra ports on my router for another hardwired device.

I originally had the LG G Watch R. When it updated to Android 2.0, it was incredibly sluggish. I feared that the delayed input and response was a product of Android 2.0. After upgrading to the Watch 2 Classic, it's clear that the Android 2.0 OS is actually pretty smooth.
The screen is bright enough even to see in direct sunlight and the contrast ratio and color saturation are excellent. There is an effective oleophobic coating on the screen. Fear of fingerprints discouraged me from using my watch much before, but with this one, it's rarely a problem.
Battery life is excellent. I easily get 20 - 24 hrs with moderate use or longer with light use.
The speaker phone is stellar. When I ask, callers are completely unaware that they're on speaker phone.
The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy and doesn't scratch easily.

Excellent color, but slow
on January 7, 2017
Posted by: Michael
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use the Hue bulbs with the Wink Hub and the Amazon Echo. Hue bulbs are a bit slower to turn on compared to the GE Link bulbs, but I much prefer the pure white color of the Hue bulbs to the soft white (read: white/yellow) GE Link.

Get completely in the head of the Dark Knight in Batman: Arkham for the PlayStation VR. Enjoy first-person play as you work to solve a classic detective storyline and battle your way through scenes. Virtual reality gaming lets you pick up, put on and use objects in realistic settings in Batman: Arkham.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a marvelous experience. It's incredible to see the characters from the Batman universe in a way that is so immersive. They are more than moving portraits on a screen or on a page. They're full size and immediately in front of you. The narrative is also compelling while short. The visuals are remarkably polished, but the gameplay is lacking. It's immersive, and the novelty makes it enjoyable, but there's not much to do. The experience (~2 hr) is well worth the price.

Quality Mechanics, uninteresting match objectives
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: Michael
Verified Purchase:Yes
The mechanics are top notch. I never notice problems with missed or delayed inputs, and the variety of characters provides for an array of strategies. However, I can't really find a way to be matched up with a team who's interested in achieving success in the match. Rather, they all just want to maximize their kills. Also, the objective of the matches (move the truck to objective A and B) is not interesting. I can't articulate why it's any better or worse than a capture the flag or king of the hill, but it's hard to care whether the truck is moving.

Works for PS4 or Xbox One. Comfortable for long play times. The mute switch is inconvenient and counterintuitive, but they all are. Great product.

This Insignia™ NS-PNK6A01 numeric keypad features 18 keys that let you input accounting-style commands. The USB interface makes it easy to connect your compatible laptop or desktop.

The keys are loose, so there is some uncertainty when typing quickly how much pressure to apply for input. Also, the triple 0 key is not useful. I just end up hitting it accidentally and have to delete the extra zeroes. All of this is expected given the low price, though.

This drastically improved my load speeds on my PC. The included software (to be downloaded separately) was very easy to use for cloning my old drive onto this one.

This game does a wonderful job of placing the player in a genuine Star Wars experience without layering on too many complex mechanics that would drive away players whose time is more limited.
