Defective and Awkward
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: MURDEREK
from LA
I bought one and the sticks made clicking sounds while being rotated. I exchanged it and got one that was even worse. Besides the clicking I found the controller to be very awkward to hold and use when the paddles are attached. I removed the large paddles and moved the small paddles to the bottom so I could somewhat grip the controller normally but it was still awkward and I found that I often hit the paddles on accident and couldn't grip the controller as firmly as I'm used to.
The trigger locks are useless for games like Battlefield because when locked the right trigger does not go far enough to accelerate vehicles. Maybe the trigger sensitivity can be adjusted but making them more sensitive would make guns have hair triggers, which would be unrealistic and unsatisfying.
I also found the controller to be very heavy and the weight distribution felt a bit off, which bothered me because I often sit in a recliner and hold the controller somewhat vertically while playing. When doing so, the controller seemed to be too top-heavy.
The price was no issue and if the controller would have performed upto my expectations I would have paid $300 for it. The only things I liked about it were the rubber grips and ability to reload without taking my finger off the stick. When I programmed the paddles to jump and crouch I just found myself jump shooting and drop shooting all the time, which I soon realized is not a style of gameplay I enjoy even though it was quite effective.
This controller may be great for others, but I found it more annoying than anything else.

Casuals Will Love It

Uncharted games are good simple one day rentals but they have awful mechanics, simple linear campaigns, generic multiplayer, hardly any customization and the same old guns in every installment. Similar games such as Tomb Raider have added character customization, crafting, dynamic weather, animals that attack, open world, a day and night cycle, better mechanics, RPG elements, etc. while Uncharted has added nothing at all. But if you're just a casual gamer and all you want are quick simple campaigns you'll probably like the Uncharted games. The only real reason to buy the uncharted Collection in my opinion is that all three games are now 60 fps, unlike Uncharted 4 which will be 30 fps. Pathetic for a "next gen" game.

Amazing!

Some people are complaining that the game lacks content, which it does. But the gameplay and graphics are great. Once you customize the difficulty settings to your liking the game is challenging and very fun. EA claims that they will be adding additional game modes and courses for free over the next few months so content will come eventually. There are a ton of licensed name brand clubs to unlock but it lacks game face and only has about 10 preset heads to choose from in player creation and you can only play stoke and match play. I'm sure they'll add skins and other modes eventually. It offers 13 courses, (9 real and 4 fantasy) and in my opinion 13 courses is plenty for now considering the game is cheaper than one round of real golf and provides a lot more than 4 hours of entertainment. I've been playing golf games since the 90's and this is the best one yet. Buy it!

Nothing compares to the feeling you get on race day.

Your gloved hands tighten around the wheel as you eagerly await the signal. As the race begins, you expertly shoot into a leading position, navigating the course with the confidence of someone already imagining that trophy in their hands.Project Cars puts you behind the wheel of exhilarating, fast-paced racing action, allowing you to create a driver and choose from a variety of motorsports. Experience more than 60 exciting tracks, racing at every time of day and in rapidly changing weather conditions. Establish your place in racing history in season mode, create your own mode or improve your racing prowess in on-track testing.

Casual Arcade Game

This game does not allow you to buy and modify your own cars. All you can do is adjust a few settings so you never really feel like the cars are yours. You just pick a car and drive. There are really no street cars so you're stuck driving race cars all the time. The controls are horrible too. This game might be good for kids, but serious racing fans might not enjoy it. I'll stick with Forza 5.

This disc documents the memorable tour that featured rap artists Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem. The disc offers a standard full-frame transfer. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed captions on this release. Supplemental materials include interviews with director Phillip Atwell and Dr. Dre, and footage of the performers backstage before and during the show. This is a great disc for genre enthusiasts, but there is little here to interest the average DVD consumer. The 5.1 mix is excellent.

Not Enhanced Widesceeen
on February 14, 2015

Good audio quality, but the DVD is not enhanced widescreen as Best Buy claims it is. It's a smashed 4:3 version with black bars on the top, bottom and sides that can only be played in widescreen format if you adjust the picture size on your TV, which makes it all zoomed in and blurry.

Imagine being able to go wherever, to do whatever, whenever you wanted — to hop behind the wheel and just drive. From the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles to Miami's beaches and the stunning plateaus of Monument Valley, the freedom to take the country's coasts and interiors by storm, in a finely tuned, customized vehicle, is a feeling of pure exhilaration. Being able to share that journey and build a street-racing legacy with your tight-knit crew of friends makes for a gameplay experience like none other.Put the pedal to the metal and get behind the wheel in The Crew, a next-gen racing adventure that allows you to explore the U.S. in its entirety, from coast to coast. Build your crew of four through companionship or rivalrous adversity, and then embark on your quest to improve your rep in the underground-racing world and infiltrate and ultimately overtake the 510s, a gang grown around Detroit's street-racing scene. Explore downtown city streets, suburbs, hillsides, cornfields, canyons, desert dunes, race tracks — any terrain imaginable. Customize and tune your ride to suit your driving style and enhance your vehicle's look and performance. The obstacles in front of you are challenging, but remember — drive fast, drive hard and never drive alone.

Amazing game once you adjust the steering settings
on December 4, 2014
Posted by: MURDEREK
from LA
Before you listen to all the people talking about the bad handling in this game, know this... There are many settings that need to be adjusted to your liking. There are settings for steering speed, steering sensitivity, steering linearity, throttle linearity, etc. and they all make a huge difference in how the cars handle. The cars handle exactly like NFS Shift. You can't just bounce off cars and take corners like you do in other racing games. You have to corner with the throttle, counter steer, etc. Once you adjust the settings and learn how to drive in this game it becomes very rewarding. I own every racing game there is for PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 and this is one of my favorites due to the giant map and rewarding controls. If you want a challenging game with an amazing open world, buy The Crew. If you want an easy racing game, buy something else.

Fast!

I bought this laptop just to watch videos but it's so fast that I can actually use programs like FL Studio and Sony Vegas without any lag. It's only an i3 but it seems just as fast as my 4670k. The resolution is great and the screen looks a lot more crisp and clear than most other sub $500 laptops. The battery lasts a long time and doesn't get hot. My only complaint is how loud the right and left click buttons are. They are really really loud! Overall it's a great laptop for $400 though.
What's great about it: Fast, graphics, design, battery life
What's not so great: loud right and left click buttons

Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of the Frostbite 3 engine, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other.Only in Battlefield can you change the landscape in real-time with interactive environments that react to your every move. Only in Battlefield will you lead an assault from the back of a gun boat. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory. In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's struggle to find its way home. Receive the China Rising Expansion Pack when you preorder Battlefield 4. There is no comparison. Immerse yourself in the glorious chaos of all-out war, found only on the battlefield.

Sounds great but looks and plays like garbage

This game is a gargabe pile of bad graphics, glitches, poor mechanics, pop in, disappearing objects, poor hit detection, horrible story, and online miultiplayer that suffers from stalemates and spawn trapping. It's also really easy because most players aren't even paying attention as they're too busy blowing up random buildings for no reason. All the players talk about online is how much they hate Call of Duty. It's annoying to listen to all these guys talk about a game they hate. The Battlefield community is garbage and so is this game. There are hardly any new features or game modes. It's basically Battlefield 3 with a map that floods. The game belongs in a toilet.
What's great about it: Audio
What's not so great: Everything but the sudio
