Microsoft has actually changed with the new CEO. So I would not automatically be as pessimistic as we had every reason to be earlier.

I really wish it was made with 3rd person view, but that won't hold me back from purchase if it proves to be anything on the level of the Fallout games. I mean, anything. Just a hint of Fallout will suck me right in.

The major annoyance for me with these kind of expansions are that they add to the main campaign. It takes very, very much for me to play through a game more than once, especially on games where repetitions are part of the experience (like here, with several attempts to manage a mission).
With this game I've deliberately waited with playing it because I just know there will be a major expansion (the one earlier this year) who makes the game "complete". But by the time all the DLCs are out, the game itself has become "old" in my library and other titles have taken focus.
It's these kind of releases that makes me really miss the old days where you paid for one release and smack the entire game was sitting there on your hard drive from day one.

Quoting: GuestThis is so stupid... Just reveal it already. Or don't talk about it at all until the games are released and we can buy them. What is the point of polluting our social media with vague stuff with no solid info?Take a look at the rest of the comments and you'll hopefully understand the point.

NVIDIA have released the 410.57 driver as well as a 396.54.06 Vulkan beta driver to help DXVK

Quoting: poisond.06 is a beta driver which is most likely why it's being updated for you. Unless you are affected by an issue you can just wait until the next stable release.Thanks! But how do I even know what version beyond 396.54 I have? It's all that is shown in the Nvidia control panel?

So how do we upgrade the driver with a .06 subversion? 396.54 is installed on my box today, will updates of that branch be automatic?
Upgrading the Nvidia drivers really are quite confusing for me, sometimes I need to manually install the new version, other times it seems to go automatically.

Some thoughts on State of Mind from Daedalic Entertainment

What this boils down to is an acceptance that knowledge and experience makes one better at doing something, and education has a purpose.
So, if we are to talk in binary levels, do I trust or distrust a journalist with a proper education and years of experience? Yes, I would definitely say that I do, just like I do respect other professions and educated individuals in those professions. Should we all trust those more than laymen with an obvious agenda? Yes, yes and please: Yes. It's not like everyone loses all morale and ethics the moment they become skilled.
Same goes with science (another field popular to distrust these days): We must trust scientific studies more than opinions and anecdotes, or cling to deviations that confirms our own world view.
But writing a proper, good review is really quite hard. It's not just to sit there and type down some impressions according to our own preferences. If you're lucky that reviewer is exactly like you. But if not, the review becomes practically worthless.
Now, we could dive into a deeper discussion about the aforementioned nuances, both in regards to media and professionalism VS amateur work in general, but then we need to stop taking about "big media" as one big, homogeneous blob, or "professional reviews" as one body of work.

Quoting: ShmerlThat's not really how it works. You can apply same to all journalism in general. Does it mean you blindly trust big media because "they depend on it"? I wouldn't in the least.What I miss is nuances in your posts. One should be careful with "blind trust" toward anyone, especially if "blind" means one do not use our own judgement or critical sense, or ignore it if a vast majority is saying something else.
