Just wow did I forget how TERRIBLE the story is. The jokes are off putting, characters make stupid decisions, and jesus the character of Ava is literally the worst writing I've ever seen. Still, the gameplay is fun and it loves to spoon feed you "legendaries" left and right.
I loved the story and lore behind Boarderlands. I thought the final boss in 2 was a bit of a letdown. Some of it was kinda lame but overall I found it enjoyable.

The lore is amazing! It's very well fleshed out. However, I save that for the first two games more so.

Actress from Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) tweets about a remake. Tweet then gets deleted.

Celdweller, who wrote “Shapeshifter” specifically for the game, just released a bunch of remixes and remaster for the song.

Hype, could be very real…….

Picked up Six Days In Fallujah to enjoy with a friend. I decided to play a little by myself to get used to it. It's been a while since a video game has rattled me... this game rattled me. lol it's kind of strange of a feeling tbh. I'll give it another try later but damn.

I want to stay positive, but with the disappointment the last 3 NFS have been, I just don’t know.

The moment I hear Decadence or Hand of Blood, thats it for me.

That's the one with procedurally generated maps right?

Yeah. I ended up playing some more and little things change every time. It's pretty cool since you can't necessarily memorize buildings and entries.

Approximately 10 hours of CP2077 Phantom Liberty.
Yeah, it's more of the same but omg, I am liking this a whole lot more than Starfield.

The art design of Dog City is incredible. It amazes me that people sat down and made this city just for a game. Before the expansion was released I was expecting Dog City to be self contained but no, it is a new suburb that is part of the main city so one can wander back and fourth between the old and the new.

I'm just started downloading the DLC, first I'm going to finish my 3th play through of roughly 80h long.

Don't know of you (and others) know this, but you have a Quadra Ken Block car hidden in patch 2.0 . It's a weaponized tribute car.

At a guess I've played 40 hours of Phantom Liberty and I've just finished the main story via one choice. I have a save game to choose the other ending arc but at the moment I don't feel like playing; I found the finish somewhat poignant.

One criticism I've read of PL is that there is a lot of waiting to be done, a lot of waiting for people to contact you. This is true but I didn't find this bothersome at all. There is so much to see, I saw places I hadn't seen before. Enemy characters repopulate themselves so there are always fights to be had. And there new side missions to help fill in the time.

Have I mentioned before that I think the city is freakin' amazing?

Reading the reviews for Forza Motorsport, from what I can tell, the overall, undisputed claim is that it is aesthetically phenomenal. Races are built into race weekends, with practice and qualifying.


Penalty system for multiplayer with a mandatory training module before entering.



Driving mechanics seem to point to a little more oversteer when compared to GT7.

It's so funny because I've seen so many people whine about the graphics left and right

And them leaving out Nur is the reason I have left Forza.
The very little they have done we've been asking for since 2.
And most of the stuff we've kept asking for has been ignored.

Gonna get it on GamePass. And try it. Then probably uninstall it like Starfield.
Same for Mirage. 2 nights in and the game is nearly 100% done.
