I remember the first time I felt this, after landing on the ring in Halo:CE. A sense of curiousity, mystery, and astonishment that few games have been able to recreate with such a simple skybox. This, along with the original Mass Effect’s skyboxes, are two examples of a sky truly affecting the world building. There…

God I love 6 cyl engines. Maybe it’s just the hipster in me since tuner guys love 4-bangers, big engine guys love V12s, everyone else loves V8s. My favorite engines are V-10, I-6, and V-6. Such unique and awesome notes out of them.

I don’t like the attention either and I won’t buy a yellow car until glorious 70s bright colors return to the common man’s automobile. But boy does it objectively look good in yellow. I’ll pick yellow cars in video games all the time. I think yellow is also the best on almost every convertible, and definitely on every…

Ace Combat 7. It’s finally happening.

Woah that interior is wacky!

Thus why I found a single owner ‘99 CR-V 5-spd with 234k this year and am overjoyed to own it. It’s everything David mentions, in a more reliable, more boxy, more green housed, more D-pillared-taillights package.

I’m serious, grind it out. Keep doing it. And warm up first, don’t jump in and go right to the boss. Get good with the dash again, abuse the pistol and shotgun. I remember beating it and feeling so impressed with myself even though it was mostly dumb luck. However, overcoming that dude on my SP+ clear is what really…

This is still my favorite racing game of all time. It’s so classic and clean. Varied tracks and environments, creative shortcuts, a perfect car list, a great soundtrack, great difficulty curve, fun pursuit mechanics, and gloriously fun and accessible handling.

Always thought this is one of the best examples of a strong woman character in a world run by men. She’s written in a way that it’s convincing, likeable, heroic, etc, without being forced down your throat. I never once felt any resentment towards her like I usually do towards the typical heavy-handed way that ‘strong…

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess we won’t see it stateside until releasedate+25. But man this thing looks good, it's analog, and it gives me hope that I'll be able to buy a new supercar with character one day instead of having to find one that's decades old.

Yep. Those old games work well for what they were. Horizon works best as a playground, and with diverse roads that allow you to fiddle with every car’s handling.

That one definitely gave me the most trouble. Took a bunch of attempts. I was tempted to put the game down a few times, too. It was really tough at times- but it never really felt unfair. Rather, I felt I wasn’t good enough yet. And the more I played, the better I got. So I tackled the other regions first, then…

The Edinburgh section is pretty big and diverse! It’s my favorite city section in a horizon game yet. I think it’s a bit tougher to create a diverse and convincing city map than it is to create a huge countryside. You also get a lot better variety of roads. The way they’ve done it in 3 and 4 by including a large city…

Wow, this game has been on my list since it’s announcement and I didn’t even know it was coming out today.

I love the way this looks. It's amazing how well clean, simple lines and shapes hold up over time. A rectangle and two circles make a glorious Golf-esque face

The huayra is my favorite modern supercar.

As gorgeous and overall amazing as it is, we can’t deny wagons are dying. And it’s because the people who can put their money where their mouth is don’t care about wagons because wagons are not trendy or cool in any way, and height, 1.5-in lifts, and the *appearance* of offroad ability are all that matter. 

It’s British. While many of the old reliability stereotypes have diminished, some still hang true. British cars having a somewhat-less-reliable electrical system?... it’s still a thing. 

What was the ending? For someone who hasn’t played the game. I don’t mind if it ends with everybody dying as long as it was established to be so, not just slapped on as a shock mechanism. If they set it up so everyone is ready to die for the cause or whatever, and they wrap up loose ends, that's fine. 

For me SoT was a total blast to play with my friends... until the hype wore off. Since it’s PvP they can’t really introduce anything other than cosmetics to keep it balanced, so it really comes down to just enjoying the core gameplay, making your own stories, and getting immersed in the world. That’s difficult when…
