I think I'll wait for the Dead Space remake and then pic Callisto up once it's on sale

started into forza 5 today. realized during initial setup my computer is only recognizing 8gb of 16gb. ordered 4x8gb sticks to get me by a little longer.

still running ddr3(1866)! for a 13 year old computer, it's still holding up pretty well! asus sabertooth x58 motherboard.

i would've upgraded last year if everything hadn't gone so haywire...

I initially bought MW2 and was stoked for the new multiplayer and Warzone 2 map. First week was rough with all the bugs and insane lobbies, so I took a break and started playing Zero Build Mode on Fortnite, which is actually pretty fun. Never thought I would say that about Fortnite. Did take a little bit to get used to.

But now I'll find myself playing the DMZ mode on MW2, and is sort of like Tarkov or the Division. Go in, find loot, complete contracts, extract. You die, you loose everything and personal loadouts become locked for 2 hours. It can be fun and interesting when you encounter a real team, you can fight them, or use the new party chat system and get them to join you which about 3 times out of 5 they'll do that since some missions require quite a few people to complete.

I do recommend, if playing either DMZ or Warzone mode, to use Xbox party chat or Discord because of this new mechanic, since other players can hear the chat if you become close enough. It can play in you favor depending how you go about it.

With the new NFS I highly considered getting FH5 but I missed on the sale. I think it got to like $30 or so. Not paying $70 for NFS unless it is a remake of the classics or a new Shift series.

Some time ago I got the full set of Leisure Suit Larry games for free. I had only ever played 1 and 3 way back in the day.

Geez, I forgot how much of a grind they were. I managed to play through them years ago without a hint book (sold separately, and the game gives you the 800 number whenever your character dies) but didn't have the patience for it this time. Fortunately the games came with a PDF of the hint book, which I used sparingly but still used.

I remember a quote from Al Lowe (the game's creator for Sierra On-Line) saying they sold more copies of the hint books than they did the actual games.

i tried the newer nfs. it's just too arcadey for me anymore.

got nfs heat as part of a multipack, still haven't installed it.

i like forza as it's just more 'real' than nfs for me, if that makes sense.

i think it's just the physics engines each game is using.

I started to watch the clip with anticipation along with dread. Is it going to meet my hopeful expectations? It can't possibly be worse than The Colostomy Protocol.

They’ve already changed dialog a decent amount. So I think all of the little things will add up. Of course if you’ve played the game, that beginning part is near identical. So no new surprises. Still I’m hopeful for it!

I think companies should follow the CAPCOM model when it comes to remaking older games. RE2 is a prime example of a remake done right. Then 3, and now 4 being the most anticipated game of 2023. If they can get anywhere close to that, it'll be alright. I've become so wary of EA that I'm going to give it a week after release to make a decision on whether to get it or not.

Oh for sure. I don’t trust EA at all. They always ruin great concepts or games.
