1. I think I hate Mass Effect 1

2. July 27th release for MSFS on Xbox!

Damn I was hoping for an “and it’s available right now” moment. Still good to have a date. 2021 Game Pass is looking good.

[NTP66]

Yeah, really wish it would be available sooner than the end of summer, but whatever. Waited long enough.

Absolutely loving Ratchet and Clank. Spent a huge part of the weekend playing. I think I'm most of the way through the story now.

Only negative I can really see is that there probably isn't a ton of replayability here... I can't see myself sticking around much after getting the platinum, even though there will certainly still be things to find... Just no real reward for doing so.

Still, it looks great, is fun to play, and the story is good, in the typical R+C fashion.

I appreciate the honesty.

Apparently Dread is a long rumored sequel to Fusion. I have mixed feelings because the preview shows the melee counter move they introduced in the 3ds remake of Return of Samus... I kind of lost interest in that after dying repeatedly to the same boss because I couldn't get the timing perfect. Guess I need to git gud.

Prime 4 is still in development. They rebooted it in '19 with Retro Studios so guess it's still far out.

I've been having a blast lately playing pga tour 2k21. It's so cool to go out and play courses that other people designed. Obviously, ones like Oakmont and Augusta are cool, but I was mindfudged when I found that someone did Pittsburgh North. There's also Chubbs Place, the par 3 in North Park. Freakin cool.

I'm trying to design my own course currently, and what a time vortex. Was on there 2 1/2 hours and basically 'finished' a hole and a half. Lol.

This. It's such a time suck, it makes me appreciate course makers work even more.

I'm up to over 1,000 hours of Cities Skylines. I could spend hours working on a single city park alone.

PC or console?
I seem to be able to spend a lot more time on city builders/strategy games a la AoE sitting at the computer. Not even close to as much time on console. I think the controls just piss me off.

[PFiDC]

PC. I'd love some more RAM in order to dive deeper but I do fine with only 8gb. If you haven't played CS yet I highly recommend. I recently started playing it "sandbox" style without the limitations of the core game (money, unlockables, etc.)

I even have the US Steel Tower and PPG Place. The workshop has a TON of user content.

For those of you still looking for an XSS or XSX, GameStop will have them in stock for in person purchases today:

Ratchet and Clank was super fun, perhaps a bit too easy. Platinum was very easy this time since it doesn't require fully upgrading all weapons or completing challenge mode.

Is anyone still looking for a PS5? I got an exclusive invite for tomorrow to order one through Sony directly. I already have one obviously, so I figured I'd ask if anyone here would want me to order one for them.

I'm pretty sure I have to order it myself and probably ship it to myself then get it to you. From the email I got I have to order it from my sony account can't share the link with anyone, it's unique blah blah.

Won my first Divot Derby in pga 2k21. Feels good.

So I ordered one in 30 seconds today with the link I got from Sony. No waiting, no nothing. Clicked it, added to cart, picked my free expedited shipping and boom it's on its way.

I've decided I'm just going to be a dick and ebay it and make a quick few hundred dollars. Make back some of the extra I paid for mine when I bought it. It may be morally dickish, but oh well.

I'm still looking to get one... hopefully I'll get my chance soon.

Did you just try to guilt trip me after the fact? hahah

[count2infinity]

Of course....

I honestly haven't been trying very hard to find one. Just casually check from time to time. I'm not in any rush. Make your money.

Why did you not say something before I wondered onto ebay and saw what they are going for??
