Battlefront 2 beta is fucking amazing.
There's a few people who said that. I absolutely hated it and most people seem to hate it but there is a bunch of people who loved it for some unknown reason. I'll give it this. The environments and graphics are amazing, but the weapons, the upgrade system, the simplistic gun play, the simplistic flight controls, the run of the mill multiplayer, it all annoyed me too much to enjoy it. I am looking forward to the singleplayer campaign though. That looks amazing.

And don't get me started on microtransactions. I can understand them in a free game but when you're paying $100 for a game then they encourage you to spend a lot more in game, just annoys the heck out of me. What happened to the good old days where you could only get special items by having no job or social life and just grinding away at the game?

It reminds me of the Clone Wars cartoons. They kill heaps of people but they never call it "death", it's just the loss of another clone.

Anyone into sim racing or flight sim ?
Been searching now for a few years for an affordable motion platform. Found a dude in Melbourne that makes them for half the price of most .

Using a g27 atm on a next level racing stand but im upgrading in the next couple of weeks to either a fanatec csl elite with the 3 peddle brake cell pedals or a thrustmaster ts xw, Can't decide leaning towards fanatec people keep swearing by them.

Hows the thrustmaster servo base?

The servo base is pretty good, you hit the kitty litter in f1 and it does throw your arms and you got a good fight. The ts xw is meant to be good but pedal set it comes with pretty average. I would go fanatec you get that set you were talking about .the jump from the g27 to the fantatec would be massive you would be grinning from ear to ear every time you jump on it. Do as much research as you can read honest reviews and look around.
I personally would make the jump to fanatec but i got to much thrustmaster stuff , eventually i will but no rush

@rexest simworx do some nice pedals but your starting to get in the holy fuck this is getting expensive territory
Check out simworx or pagnian imports, ive dealt with pagnian before their prices are good and they get shit to your door quickly

At our new place, I've got one bedroom dedicated to what will end up the racing sim with tactile audio :grinning:

Three things.

1. What's with the gay music in that video clip?
2. Limited movement.
3. He doesn't even have a handbrake *thumbs down*
