Re: OT: New Music?

I thought I would keep this thread going. My wife and I moved last year from metro Atlanta to Albany NY. Since we are Americana fans it has been an adjustment since we no longer can run to Athens or Alabama or Nashville for a show. But when we do go to shows, one thing remains the same - people don’...

Re: Madden 24 'Make or Break'

I agree that this year it is a lot of fun to pick up and play a game. Also a noticeable difference between QBs. After playing with a good QB with accuracy and a strong arm and then switching to a lesser QB is noticeable. The one thing I hate that I imagine we are stuck with is that the game is desig...

Re: Who's left from Sportsreviewers on here 22 years later?

I was around for the old Sportsreviewers site and remember the Superior Man incidents right at the end before this site was created. I stopped gaming for a few years around the time of the Xbox One. I ended up getting a second hand PS4 at some point and then jumped back in when i got lucky with the ...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

I wanted to respond to the Dolby Vision post about the Show. I have a Hisense H9G which has Dolby Vision but does not have a Game Mode for it. I find that most games look better in Dolby Vision and I don't really have lag issues with any game with the exception of The Show. While the game looks slig...

Re: MLB The Show 21

On the next gen version I thought that there was going to be an option to share custom stadiums? I don't have the patience to build them myself, but i imagine that there are some people out there who would attempt to recreate some classic stadiums or minor league stadiums that would be fun to get.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

It sounds like we are years away from seeing a new Elder Scrolls game, so it is not a big concern at this point. But I hope that they keep making PS versions. I think cross platform games are good for gamers.

If you are an Xbox Insider, there is a tech test for the Show starting next week and running 2/23 to 3/1. I think the test is for Diamond Dynasty - because that is what was mentioned. I went ahead and signed up for it. I do Insider to get the early updates - do the same with Apple OS and IOS. I am w...

I am using the zoomed camera - unlike previous generations it does not zoom so much that you can't see the receivers. The default camera was just horrible - it is a nosebleed view of the action.

I guess the Nationals front office is seeing that getting back to the playoffs is not quite as easy as they thought. Maybe they should have let Strasburg pitch last year after all. Just saying.

Re: New Xbox AND PS4 Info/Rumors

I am in no hurry to go to the next generation until I see games released that I need to own. I got the 360 close to release and was disappointed with Madden and really didn't find a game I loved until Oblivion and Dead Rising. I liked COD 2 but it was a pretty straightforward shooter. Honestly, I fe...

RIP threads should be apolitical anyway. I was looking for some threads about PS3 games when I first got one and using the search button was not helping much.

Re: Top single player games of this generation

I really liked RDR and I have never been a big fan of the gameplay in the GTA games. I would like to throw out a vote for Oblivion. It was the game that first caught my attention on the X360. Not as good as Skyrim, but I killed a lot of hours in that game. Another early X360 game that deserves a sho...

If it was done well it could be a system seller for me. I loved the Thief games. I wonder if they could get the same voice talent? Stephen Russell as Garret would be a must.
