I honestly didn’t know backup cameras were mandatory and honestly I find it really stupid. I’ve literally never backed in to anything and the one time I tried to backup to a horse trailer with my father in laws truck, it actually made it more difficult for me. Guess I’m just never going to buy a new car, which sucks. 

Question is, did Gearbox finally figure out how to balance a game? I loved the first two games but started getting tired of the series part way through BL2 DLCs because nothing felt hard due to mechanics, it felt artificially difficult due purely to numbers. When it takes a full clip of head shots from a super high

A lot of people talk batteries and and rare Earth metals, but for me it is features. All I want in a car is power windows, cruise control, and heated seats, but anymore you HAVE to get a 10inch screen, auto sensing rain wipers, quasi-auto-pilot, and so much more. I personally don’t know anyone that wants any of that

I love this type of thing in games. I still remember a time when my friend David was playing Xenosaga at my house. I had already beaten it twice and he got to the part where you first get Ziggy and Momo together and have to escape from wherever it is you are imprisoned. That area ends with a boss fight that was

I knew always online would one day have problems but with the type of games I play it was never a problem...until last year when I bought PGA Tour 2k21. Having your single player game lag and become unplayable because someone in the house is downloading something was so freaking infuriating. Can’t say I’ll ever feel

My wife and I are currently going through the entire everything Witcher related in chronological order. She just finished book five today, I finished book three a couple days ago. As I understand the order is the five main-line books, followed by the three games, followed by the two seasons of Netflix show. I don’t

I really hope there is space combat similar to Freelancer and exploration similar to ME1, that’s all it will take to make me happy. I haven’t played a ton of space games but those two are great. 

Road Rash was my first ever racing game and I played it countless hours. However, Ridge Racer 4 was my second and holds nearly just as many fond memories. Absolute great game, wish they would make a current gen game

Barely heard of any of those games. It does have CrossCode, Baba is You, and Celeste though

I bought a Jetta TDI a couple years ago because it looked good on paper. Yes diesel is more expensive per gallon but I get 46+mpg on highway. After owning it though I’m thinking of trading it in. Fun car to drive and looks nice and it is my favorite size vehicle, but diesel used to only be like 20-30 cents more than

For me Jesse would be a really fun Tinder hookup, Aerith would be a good friend to go get a gyro or cup of tea with, and Tifa is wife material. Love how reserved and badass she is. I actually was getting really annoyed in my playthrough of FF7r that enemy AI always targets who you’re controlling because I had by far

1. This was announced early last year
2. I beleive they made a tweet last week about their something year anniversary that they’ve sold 7 million copies of Grim Dawn

I’m super hyped and added it to my follow on Steam since they first announced it. Grim Dawn is my favorite top down isometric arpg of all time. Build

Oh look, another mainline Pokemon game with fire, grass, and water type starters. Really wish Gamefreak would think outside the box for five minutes. I haven’t loved an official Pokemon game since Platinum and I’ve played every gen except Sword and Shield, which all of my friends said was the worst yet. I want a hard

Agree with everything except the Enzo. For a minute it was actually my favorite looking Ferrari, though that title now goes to either the Italia or F12

Clueless Hero giving me HotS PTSD

I’ve been really impressed with my Jetta. Looking at all the cars I’ve owned, rented, or borrowed in the $18-30k range, the Jetta is WAY better than anything else I’ve been in. The seats are more comfortable, the doors weigh more and block out more road noise. There is also a lot of minor features I really appreciate

I want old school pickups in two flavors. I think we need small, 1980s style trucks like the Datsun my grandpa had, for one. Not sure if city folk would actually go for it but it makes a lot more sense economically. The downside is people like my own mother, want large vehicles now because everyone else has them, and

I’m not buying this game day one but I am excited for it. The first Horizon is my favorite open world game ever. Screw BotW, screw Morrowind. Horizon just feels great. There is nothing annoying (other than invisible panthers), graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is the smoothest, least buggy thing I’ve played in

I’m not sure when exactly this trend truly took off—I blame The Witcher 3’s “Gwent””

LMAO. Dude, Have you never playing a Final Fantasy title? FF8 came out in 1998 (i think) and had Triple Triad which to date is still one of the best mini games ever. FF9 also had TT. FF10 had Blitzball. Games have been having killer
