Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

I tried for like 6 months - dozens of drops at Walmart, Target, etc. and never came close to getting one.
2 weeks with the HotStock app on my phone and I just barely missed a Target pickup, had 2 Walmart drops that I missed but at least saw (Walmart is a lost cause BTW, the scalpers rule that site) and the first Best Buy drop for pickup I got right away.
Definitely a GREAT app.
And as far as the PS5, I'm glad I'm playing Monster Hunter World. That think is a loading screen fest on PS4. Sometimes 2 minutes of loading before or after a mission.

Holy fuck that was a bitch of a fight. I wish I could fight him again without going back through Ng+

It's like 20 seconds on PS5.
Very nice! I got the app the day you mentioned it. I do like it and just missed out once on the Playstation site. I know what you mean about Walmart. I kept getting an alert that they had one for over $800. I figured out to prevent that I set my price point to $500 which eliminated that. I want one, but not so much that I am willing to pay scalper prices for one. I will just get one the legit way, just gotta be patient. [Reply]

Great tip on skipping Walmart. I've tried several XsX drops in a row and it's a total mess. I'm best buy or target from here on out. [Reply]
This game rules. Neat graphics, an absolute banger of a soundtrack (seriously, the music is so damn good), and really difficult but rewarding gameplay. It's going to take most folks a hot minute to really understand how to control these cars, but nailing a hairpin at speed is so satisfying. It's almost like playing a rally version of micromachines based on the overhead camera, but it's tough as nails.
Its a weirdly demanding game. I had to turn down a couple of settings on my 2070 to get 120 fps @ 2k. I've already made the mistake of writing off a game based on graphics (FTL), and really regretted all of the years I missed of playing what ended up being in my top 5 favorite games ever. Never again. [Reply]

Sounds cool! I was really posting tongue in cheek. Actually surprised it would require that much video hardware from the stills. I'll have to check out some gameplay video. :-) [Reply]
