Talk about a game that achieves that ever-elusive "total immersion..." This is a good reason why you should make sure that your stuff is given a thorough examination & maintenance on a regular basis. Any electronic system, no matter how modern & cutting edge it may be, parts eventually wear out; the device either goes completely dead or starts glitching.

[@mayravixx25]

My gaming PC is a prime example actually. I know my graphics card is failing, not much I can do about it right now unfortunately, and the best I can do is try to keep it under 90c until I can replace it. Can't really blame much else on the frequent BSOD's and AMD driver failure messages I get lmao

This is awesome although the PlayStation version already exists it was called the popstation , that was the prototype they where testing, the problem was since it was a portable game and if it was used outside would distort time and reality of the whole world, some times would just delete some parts of the world, and was difficult turning off and coming out of the reality bending affects it had on everything else besides the person playing it, worked good indoors but that was what the pretendo was for, so they canned the project but not before a few prototypes made it out, hopefully they will cover it next!
