Re: Project Cars

I haven't touched a setup option in PCars yet, fanatic. I do pretty well in online races, and with the ability to dial back AI in 10% increments on console, you can absolutely just sit down and race quick races on random tracks and cars. There isn't any barrier to content. Everything is unlocked fr...

Re: Project Cars

Still on the fence with this one - I've generally been a casual racing fan, but as my gaming time has diminished, I seem to be in this zone where racing a few laps on my PS4 is my go-to activity when I decide to boot up the console. Not sure what it is, but a lot of other game genres seem to frustra...

Re: OT: New Music?

I listen to a lot of jazz, but it's been many, many years, maybe decades, since I was as smitten by something new as much as I'm blown away by Kamasi Washington's triple-length-LP The Epic. This thing has all the elements to be an overindulgent, sloppy behemoth of a record. It inhales a hugely ecle...

Re: OT: New Music?

Also locked into the $7.99 Google Play membership - definitely give it a go (even at $9.99) and don't look back. But yeah, too bad about the 10 device limit because....wait....what?

Re: OT: New Music?

Some purchases: Willie Nelson Teatro reissue (gold vinyl), Grizzly Bear debut album on splatter vinyl (very cool), Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack...

Re: Star Wars Battlefront

I'm surprised your eyes are still in your head - mine are rolling around under my desk somewhere.

Believe it or not I've never played a Battlefront before. This must change...quickly.

Nothing against the upcoming Star Wars movies, but this seems to capture my imagination on a whole other level.

In the meantime, I can deal with Driveclub, knowing that it's a pretty but ultimately average game that will give me a small dose of racing in ...

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion

Well, a couple writers over at Polygon give their sports game of the year to.......Super Mega Baseball!! Hilarious that a small Indie title takes it over the likes of The Show, NBA 2K15, and Madden 15. Now it's just 2 guys opinion and I haven't played it near enough to make that decision. I still t...

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion

I can't compare Drive Club to FH2, but I picked it up for $39.99 and am pretty happy with my purchase. I should state up front that I'm not a racing fanatic - what I was looking for was a game where I could re-create the feeling of racing at high speeds in beautiful, natural locations. Kind of like ...

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition

Based on the fact that so little context is given, I definitely get the feeling that Keep is best for those who have played the first two games and wish they could import their many choices in to the Inquisition world. Still helpful for an newcomer - but I don't think I will import this world, just...

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Great news about the dualshock 4 features - telephone calls will come through the ds4 speaker (incredible) and you can now throw grenades using the touchpad (also cool). A few other things were mentioned today as well. I also heard that you can customize the camera configuration. For example, you ca...

Re: PES 2015

Hey guys...long time no post. PES 2015 has convinced me to re-purchase the PS4 (my wife may roll her eyes, but I know you guys understand and may share in this affliction of buying/re-buying consoles). I would have to agree with the impressions thus far - It plays a very organic game of footy. I pla...

What camera works best for RTTS as a pitcher? I can't tell if a fly ball over my head is f***in gone or just a can of corn. Hey, I'm planning on doing RTTS with a pitcher for the first time. Does your question imply that when using a pitcher, the camera simply stays on the pitcher after contact is ...

Re: MLB 14 The Show

Like others have mentioned, the visuals didn't "wow" from the start. However, even during my limited time with the game last night, there were definitely a few things that caught my eye enough to make it visually interesting. Not helping the matter is that the commentary and general pacing of the pr...

I'm a huge baseball purist...it's actually the only sport I follow passionately anymore. However, I'm still not drooling over MLB 14 for some reason - yet. I also trust that the developers will continue to put in those "little things" that, cumulatively, will make the game feel like the real deal. F...

Even more amazing when zoomed in. The detail is unbelievable. And at this point, I have not reason not to trust them to deliver a really good game. Yeah, that Melky screen also floored me.
