REALLY surprised to see 2 games from Insomniac with Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank. They’re always on my “must-buy” list, so I may end up with a PS5 sooner than I thought.  Pretty strong showing of first party titles, even if Gran Turismo 7 is coming out in 2024.

After they showed the Miles Morales Spiderman teaser, I was thinking “oh well, I guess it’ll be a while before we see Ratchet & Clank again”, but then BAM!  R&C trailer.  Insomniac is on a roll.

Absolutely. It’s still a really fun game, and the flaws are mostly being addressed. I only played the final few weeks of the season that just ended and had a great time rushing to get the shotguns before the deadline. If I played regularly, I probably would have felt a little burned out.

I mean, it seems like a better alternative than them releasing Destiny 3 and saying “start from scratch again”. For general activities & Crucible, you can still use your old God-roll gear.

While a lot of people are complaining about the current year (and most recent season), I’ve been enjoying casually dropping in and out occasionally to catch up with what’s going on. I haven’t had time to raid since The Taken King in Destiny 1, but I still enjoy playing solo when I can find the time.

Because it’s Nintendo and they play by their own rules.  

Forsaken was REALLY good for story content. I played it a year late and really enjoyed it, playing almost completely solo. Shadowkeep wasn’t quite as engaging, but did some cool world-building in the setup for the Pyramid invasion. Each expansion provides a LOT of content (even with some destinations going away), so…

You clicked. Title is super effective!

I stopped playing before Forsaken, and have only casually played solo since Shadowkeep. It’s still a lot of fun. The biggest complaint is lack of quality endgame content, which is fine with me because I don’t have time to raid anymore. Just jump back in, it’s still a REALLY good loot shooter.

Every time I see a classic Nissan or Datsun Z car, it makes me feel all warm & fuzzy.

My dad just got an ‘18 Frontier Pro4X, and damn is that thing nice. It handles great on pavement, is super capable off of it, and it was a smoking hot deal since he didn’t have to pay the “Toyota Tax”. His top-spec 4x4 Nissan cost less than a bare bones Tacoma with more miles. It’s crazy how much people pay for brand…

It’s a game of stark contrasts.  Sign me up.

I briefly considered downloading Epic game store for free GTA5, but then I remembered I got bored of it on PS3, and never finished it. My time is more valuable than my money at this point, so even a free GTA5 isn’t worth it for me.

Not bad at all... I remember paying about $30-50 for decks in the late 90's. I always thought the Birdhouse decks were on the heavy side for street-skating. They were probably more designed for vert use.

With such a huge, multicultural company like Ubisoft, perhaps something got lost in translation? Whatever they called that trailer, I’ll be waiting for reviews before I decide whether to spend my hard earned money on this game.

I thought it was too expensive at $900, but this seems like a fair price for what you get.  I’m planning to wait & see what the Pixel 5 has in store, but if something happened to my current Pixel 2 XL before then, it would probably come down to a 4XL at this price versus the OnePlus 8.

I really wanted to like this game, but it just kind of fell flat for me. I didn’t dislike it, but I finished it more out of obligation than enjoyment...

Did you get the mods from Nexus? I never installed any mods on the ME games, so that could be a good excuse to revisit them. As buggy as ME1 was, I had a TON of fun replaying it with my maxed out Biotic Femshep. And ME2 might be my favorite RPG/Shooter/Romance Simulator mashup. I know ME3 gets a bad rap, but I REALLY e…

I’ve always loved the look of the S14, and it’s nice to see one so close to stock. If it drives as nice as it looks, I say it’s a mildly hesitant Nice Price. If I had $7,500 to spend on a mostly stock RWD fun car, I’d be cross-shopping with Miatas about 10 years newer.
