Too bad we're past the era of lootboxes and on to battle passes already

I mean the b-movie feel is definitely the attractor, not a detractor for fans. I totally understand how thats not everyone's cup of tea tho.

I will say that the stealth sandbox in MGS3 and MGSV rival what other great stealth titles like Splinter Cell, Thief etc have to offer.

I mean, its a completely different system for a different type of game. Thay's like saying "Gears of War did 3rd person shooting well, Halo has no excuse for not doing that"

That's why i loved Divinity Original Sin 2, fairly sparse combat, only when necessary, and when it wasnt necessary it was short and sweet. Made the combat quite a treat, certainly helped that it was an amazing system

I think they mean when those system are impelmented into non RPGs, such as the new God of War games, Spider-Man, etc.

Because the z axis is represented as an extension of the xy-plane, coming out of the paper essentially, so we represent it as up

That's not true though. While there isn't a standard, convention is to have z up in mathematics, as z is extending the xy plane we normally work with into a third space.

Honestly, depending on your savings, a used GPU can still be quite a good deal. While it is true that a GPU used for mining or such could be on its last legs, you can do a lot to extend its life such as slightly undervolting and underclocking it. If it's a difference of $50 or more, i think it's worth it

Honestly that looks like a pretty solid build. Only real suggestion i have is try searching around for used parts in your area on craigslist, facebook marketplace and such. With a little luck and some negotiation skills, you could score some nicer parts for less money
