    Forza Horizon 5

    Big patch to address multiplayer issues in particular. They "fixed" arcade to now scale. Joined online map. Don't see anyone. Wait for an arcade. Don't see anyone. Do round one solo. Round two someone else seems to be getting points, but don't see anyone. Fail round two, still don't see...

    New World

    Whatever early alpha I was in the game was somewhat simple, but with potential. But it was also clear as they started making changes the devs wouldn't be able to help themselves in over-designing and over-engineering the game. Fatal flaw of mmo devs. But lol at those patch notes. If the devs...

    But does that happen? Or do these companies shit on the minority of us while cashing checks from the majority of gamers. Maybe the entire existence of the gaming industry and practices of gamers is the exception that proves the rule. Sure, most big name game companies can fuck off as far as...

    This is such a great point I think it's worth expanding on, if you wouldn't mind.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I like game pass because it has good games, and other games like lawn mowing simulator that I'd never pay for but might be fun for a bit.

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Never played it, so had been waiting for the remaster to be a reasonable price on series x, but always still over $30. Pricing reserved for great or terrible games.

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Yeah, definitely. I don't think a massive successes for it to break even itself, but more to keep the mmo production afloat (the shitty management). That's why it's so weird, though. The game that was branded a flop to reinforce the studio being a flop producing vaporware... Actually sold...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Only played a few months ago when it was $10. Had very few issues on series x. Few bugs, mostly just visual. For the stigma being it sucked and wasn't getting patched, seemed to be fine. Some issues to echo, like driving cars sucked (motorcycles were fun though). Got too easy. Lots of side...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Not gonna look it up, but there was a whole thing about Schilling trying to build a franchise and buying this game to rework into Amular IP to not only help with marketing/exposure, but to use sales to help fund the mmo and justify loan deals. I don't remember if the game underperformed or...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Didn't creditors/Maine cite the poor performance of this game as justification to shut down the entire studio and mmo development? Not saying this game alone was going to keep the company afloat, but it sure seems to have legs for such a presumed flop that helped justify shuttering the entire...

    Have seen a couple commercials on network television for this game. Assuming that means the game is going strong. Might have to jump in to see what the fuss is all about. Don't want to miss out on the next big MMORPG!

    Forza Horizon 5

    Forza Horizon games are notoriously unfriendly to racing wheels in both setting one up and physics/behavior. I wouldn't say it's worth getting a wheel just for a Forza Horizon game. Not only is a controller viable, some argue an advantage because of the corrections and dampening built into the...

    Like all sports always? I'm confused by your point because you seem to be arguing as if anyone claimed MLB always got the calls right or that it was even possible. You've said something technically true, while still failing to make an intelligent point. Does you cat's breath also smell of...

    Maybe. They're pretty well off so tend to mistreat and repurchase even things I would consider bigger ticket items. And do leave shit outside constantly. Apparently it wasn't smoking.

    Yeah, you could say that. We were going to all get together, but the liberal sister threw a tantrum and said it was too risky to gather. We found out they just had other plans to do a brisket and to have her husband's family over instead. But then on Wednesday their Traeger broke, and he was...

    Totally agree. Some of the Phoenix games in last year's playoffs were especially bad. The end of NBA games is already slow, but I swear one game was like 25 minutes for 2 minutes of ge clock, and it was all unexciting stuff like common fouls and out of bounds plays. Wanting to get the call...

    You can't believe it because it's didn't actually happen. Your stupid statement is even dumber commenting on subjectivity in officiating in a sport notorious for two sets of rules, one for the regular season and then one for the post season where they "let them play." Fucking demoralized NBA...

    I demand a lengthy replay process! Which btw all the begging for replays is something I can't stand to watch anymore. It's as bad as the crying after foul calls, which always happened but used to be a lot more "ref, you sure?" than now. Now, it's just really whiny and constant and makes me...

    No, it wasn't your only point. Like a bitch, you tried to make some personal point that was irrelevant.

    I don't know you, you're not important, but I've remembered your opinions on other unrelated topics, so your opinion comparing the overall state of NBA officiating and the NFL isn't correct! I don't think it was a charge. I believe he was still sliding into position. I feel the obsession over...

    Are you drunk? Your hot take was literally that my opinion on a charge call was somehow biased because my judgement was so clouded by my dislike of wokeness in the NBA. You seem to be the one unable to just engage in a basic argument or discussion of officiating based on my perspective on...

    The comment I made because you started bleeding from your vagina mouth about how I, what, can't think a charge was a blown call because I don't like wokeness in professional sports. A non-sequitor argument that had nothing to do with the call in question. You're the soft brain sort of moron...

    Ur thuper mad!!! Great argument you dumb twat. Funny thing is people (term used loosely) in this thread who hate me are going to want to argue, but then see the stupid example you cited of an obvious charge compared to one not so clear and not be sure what to do. That's how retarded you're being.

    Thanks for proving my point? Or do you not see the difference in those plays? One where the defender was planted and waiting and the offensive player still hadn't even begun to gather, and one where the defender was still moving into position as the offensive player was already in the air? And...

    Yeah, NBA never obsesses or refocuses officiating on the fucking restricted zone or charges that are discussed ad nauseam by the league and interrupt the flow of the game as replays are in ultra slow mo to see if a players feet shuffle a millimeter. And as stated, I think it was perhaps a...

    I'm not sure what wokeness has to do with this. The point is most people watching that play recognize it as a clean dunk. If they hadn't called a charge nobody reasonable would be shaking their heads at another blown call. At best it was a fifty-fifty call that imo should always favor the play...

    The annoyance is the same with catches in the NFL. Used to know a catch, or in this case, a dunk when you saw it. Now it's scrutinized and analyzed with a bunch of technicalities and aktualies. It's boring and lame and isn't making the NBA better.

    They're cracking down on inappropriate livery paint designs. I guess because of vans with "free candy" they're banning people based on the word "free" citing exploitation of children.
