Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I finally gave it a shot over the weekend...maybe it was just my non-existent expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. It still has that trademark Forza understeer, like you have this digital switch you flip, but it's more so on corner exits than entries now. I didn't expect to like it much, an...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

The real test for me will be how well the force feedback steering is implemented on my Thrustmaster TX Leather wheel and T3PA pedals. I wound up playing more Forza 7 on my PC than I did on my Series X because the force feedback was better implemented on the PC version. I have a feeling it's going t...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I have such a hard time getting into any console racer anymore, really. It's kind of sad. I tried the latest Gran Turismo, and lasted like 20 minutes. I couldn't get into F1 too much, and have zero excitement for Forza. It's wild, considering how much time I spend racing. But I'll try it on Gamepass...

Re: Starfield

It took me about a dozen hours to really get into it. But if you are looking for something as open as No Man's Sky or something, it's not it. It's basically another "Bethesda RPG (TM)" with spaceship space travel. It got its hooks into me pretty good because I have enjoyed their style of RPG forever...

Re: Starfield

For what it's worth, I think their implementation of New Game+ is pretty slick. I'm on my 5th playthrough at this point, and I'm finding that I'm playing more like "the character" and less "like me" with each run I make. Pretty wild.

Re: Starfield

It's pretty wild how much this game changes over the course of a play through. Near the end of the story my gameplay was very, very different than the starting missions. I think I finished the main campaign at around level 40 but it feels like I barely even did anything in this game, with so many fa...

Re: Madden 24 'Make or Break'

I played a few games on PC and a few games on PS5. I always seem to see some strange stuff comparatively, though, so take this with a grain of salt. QBs changed the CPU offense drastically. I blasted the Broncos 44-0 on All-Pro defaults due to Wilson being unable to do anything with QB contains outs...

Re: OT: Hogwarts Legacy

Yeah, here's my single biggest piece of advice--if you get stuck on a puzzle, move on and do story quests. Almost EVERY puzzle I've run across that has been sort of a stumper has been explained by a later story quest (your lock question is, specifically). Some of the puzzles definitely require prett...

I spent almost all weekend in it non-stop, and it opens up so much more. Every time you think you've seen most of the game, they throw an entirely new system at you. I got sick of not being able to open up locks, so I went on a full sweep everywhere just gathering the things to max out the unlock sp...

OT: Hogwarts Legacy

Rather than continuing to clutter up the "what are you playing?" thread, figured the game might as well have its own thread...even if it's only me posting about it :lol: After a few days with it, I think it's got one of the best representations of magic in an RPG that I've played. I've never been th...

Played it for a few hours this morning before work--I don't know anything about Harry Potter, but my youngest daughter and a couple of coworkers were so hyped for it that I gave it a shot. It's the closest thing I can think of that's like being a kid at Disneyland. Everything just has that "awe and ...

Yeah, I've had the couple-years-old LG CX for a bit now, and that 120Hz VRR OLED tech can't be beaten. I can't imagine what a newer, bigger, more-tech version would be like. The old one I have is still bad ass. I ended up getting three OLEDs for my PC setup (48" Aorus OLED dedicated PC monitors inst...

"Fans access to", sure. But most people are pissed it's not even part of the broadcast or official series. I was literally signed up and paid an entry fee for an IR18 league that was starting. They instantly ditched it and went with GT3s instead. I hope Motorsport games paid them a ton of money, bec...

As a 45-year Raider fan, I was laughing my ass off. First, I thought for sure the TD wasn't a TD. Never seen a call like that be upheld for the Raiders. It's always going to go against them. I was seconds from turning off the game at the 4th and 10. The wife almost changed the channel, and I was lik...

Thanks for your input on this Terry! You've just convinced me to jump on fiber optic (they call the service "Zipstream") once it's available in my area.

Paul, so do you mean when you come into the corner you 1. Let off the gas 2. Turn right 3.Turn left 4. Floor it No, not at all. That's what makes the order so important.
