The only new EA product I have any interest in is Mass Effect 5.
They fuck that up, and I just won't give them any more of my money.

I have quite the skill tree that I'm too old and broken to make use of.
Reborn with my knowledge of skateboarding? Yes please.
Don't know the details, but a baseball player was giving an interview, and at the last moment basically blind caught a ball about to wreck the interviewer.
Felix Baumgartner's freefall from the edge of space.
Edit: you asked for stories, read it as videos for some reason
Not sure how well Moore's law is holding up these days, but considering a typical PC is streaming hi res video these days opening a 500 page text file should happen so fast you don't even notice it.
Modern Windows and many of the core software are pathetically unoptimized, wasting time and resources because as others have pointed out, "fuck you" seems to be the mantra now days.
I dig through a ton of reference material every day for work, and should be able to open a file, control-f to the relevant information, and close it again as fast as my fingers can type.
I had gotten Subnautica free with PlayStation network, so was quite happy to pay for Below Zero when it came out.
Played it until I was forced back on land, and gave up.
Recently I went back to give it another try, and played it permadeath.
There were a handful of moments that reminded me of why I love the original, but not many.
Like you said, way too many tight winding maze areas that all felt very the same. It traded wide open depths for claustrophobia.
I really am looking forward to 2, I don't have a PC so will have to wait. Trying real hard to avoid spoilers.
I don't believe for one minute that this war will end while Trump is in office. He just cannot restrain himself from fucking things up.
This is so me, find the right gear and feather the clutch, never touch the brakes.
When it's 30F and sunny I'm on my snowboard in a t shirt. Course, I'm in Chicago, 30C feels like a nice cool day to do shit outside in summer.
Spending time being out of reach. The power button is by far my favorite on my phone.
I have done this, not sure if it's much of a flex.
I have the world's most expensive PlayStation controller. For the past five years I've pretty much only played Rocksmith 2014, and have a few hundred songs downloaded. I'm about to hit 1000 hours played.
On my fourth bass, a brand new Ibenez fretless, and finally have a setup without all the buzzing and crap of a cheap bass.
I like blues, classic rock, but my brain just seems hardwired for 90s grunge as that was my youth.
Greenday, Offspring, Primus (on easy) are my go to. Really enjoy Me and Bobby Mcgee by Joplin and Moonage daydream by Bowie when I've been drinking.
Been thinking about taking lessons at a local store, I really want to learn to read tabs and get things setup to play along with YouTube.
I'd love to be able to play some Pink Floyd, Phish, and Grateful Dead. Other than three Dead songs there's none of that available.
I live in an apartment so it's all headphones.

Ok, I'll bite. I've been a fan of the single player games since III.
As someone who learned programming and 3D graphics modding games, the series has always been special to me, and pretty directly lead to my career.
What makes these games special is that Rockstar develops their own in house game engine, and has the money and staff to take the time and do it right.
From what I've read and watched about this new engine, they are doing things so far beyond what any other company has invested in, that GTA VI is going to redefine what gaming can be.
While everyone else is on the Unity and Unreal band wagon, pumping out clones of systems everyone else is making, Rockstar is creating new low level technology to build a truly reactive, immersive environment.
Will they create a GTA Online that just milks money out of micro transactions? Sure, they will, be stupid not to.
But, I am honestly excited to see what kind of single player simulation of a living city they are able to produce with 13 years of development.
Did I buy the $100 premium version? No, I will never preorder a game again after Cyberpunk, but if the reviews are good I'll drop $100 dollars on a game that I'll easily play for 500 hours
