    Lies of P DLC dropped! For me, it's bad timing. If it hadn't been for my excursion into RDR2, I would have bought and played it on day one. I'd probably would have picked up and played Khazan or Exp 33 during its early launch if I hadn't been mired in RDR2. Sometimes, timing is everything...

    Question *Subjective* is OLED actually worth it?

    LOL...Not my first choice to replace it every three years, but, if I had to, I would! Mine came with a 3 year burn in warranty, so I suspect it'll last at least 5 years? Of course, I just use the suggested cleaning pixels occasionally, remove icons, etc. So far so good!

    Question *Subjective* is OLED actually worth it?

    Couldn't agree more! I think a poster put it best when observing it's like playing a new game. While during basic computing I really don't care too much or notice too much of a difference, playing games back to back is when one really notices the difference. I mean, going from games I had...

    Discussion The 2025 Game Thread: Big Stupid Games Edition

    I had no idea either! I had thought turn based games were out of fashion, a remnant from the BG2 days several decades ago. Good to see the genre is alive and well, since I did enjoy turn based games quite a bit, albeit 20+ years ago.

    Discussion The 2025 Game Thread: Big Stupid Games Edition

    Agreed! That's a novel concept and one I've never experienced. I've never even heard of the concept. Ok, I love the parry mechanic in all games, and this sounds like a game I may like. While BG2 was my last true tun based RPG, I used to love the genre during my younger days. The timing is...

    Discussion The 2025 Game Thread: Big Stupid Games Edition

    RE: Clair Obscur Ok, been hearing and reading lots about this title. I may try it if some of you here recommend it. Question. The last turn based game I had played was during what felt like a lifetime ago, BG2. I was intent on playing BG3 until I was sidetracked by ER, where, to put...

    Personally, I never consider metric scores or reviews. I'll take a recommendation from any of you here before I go with a metric score or "professional" reviews. IMHO, games sell because of a huge established fan base. I suspect ER sold because millions considered it DS4 and From has a loyal...

    LOL...Rockstar definitely has a sense of humor! As with most RDR2 fans, I set out to get the Legend of the East outfit. During some of those 90 challenges, I've had some of the most comically demented moments I've ever experienced in video games. I mean, shoot someone, anyone, with a sniper...

    ER's initial play though was unequivocally the single best gaming experience for me and was truly magical in every sense of the word. While RDR2 comes close, it's hard to imagine another game, past or future, that will grab a hold of me the way ER did. After my initial blind play though, I...

    RE: GTA VI Ok, RDR2 is so engaging and fun I'm buying GTA VI on day one regardless of the price. While generally speaking, I wouldn't pay any asking price above what ER's price tag, From & Rockstar are exceptions. In hindsight, I'd have paid $100 for RDR2. The content, writing, humor and...

    None of my business how Rockstar runs its business, but anything above $60 is too high for me. Whatever their costs of production is none of my concern, I just can't see paying any initial asking price higher than ER. I suppose, if they ask for more than $60, I'll just have to wait and resort...

    For me, the delay is good. It'll give me time to enjoy RD2, though I've played easily a hundred plus hours, where I'm nowhere near finished and enjoy LoP's DLC. For the time being, I have so many titles picked up on deep discounts during sales, I don't think I'll ever play them all during a...

    My initial plan was to start on Khazan while waiting for LoP's DLC, but got sidetracked by RD2. The ultimate edition was $20 on the PS store and why not? Worth a try. I was so engrossed and immersed by RD2 and it's one of those really rare games where it pulls me in completely where it's the...

    According to the grapevine, they've spent close to a billion? Given the recent price hikes, I'm curious how they'll price GTA6 at launch. The first $100 game? Not sure I'd pay $100, since post ER, I have hard time pay for any title asking me more for what that cost. While predicting the...

    RE: GTA6 Ok, I've never had an interest in GTA before, but after playing RD2, I just may give it try. Rockstar has major street cred with me after my RD2 experience. I've got to say, RD2 has got to be one of the greatest and most immersive gaming experiences of all time. I can see why many...
