Having watched Fury Road and the latest Furiosa we decided to re-watch mad max from the beginning. Road Warrior was the most like the modern mad max vibe in that there were awesome big rig chase scenes. The switch up to a bunch of kids and a train steered pretty far away from the standard action. Given it’s a pG-13 rating, it had more in common with The Goonies than Mad Max.

I really wanted to like Starfield. But it's just recycled Skyrim in space. Massive number of load screens. Not open world. Same recycled areas you "explore" over and over. Having played most of the way through BG3 and having played through Elden Ring multiple times with my partner... single player is just so lonely and un-inspiring. I am sure the game will be ok after a few years, but for now I would look to play No Mans Sky if you want a much more engaging RPG in space. Bonus is that you can play multiplayer with your friends and family! Stopped playing after 20ish hours, doing one of the main quest line quests which is literally a large set of "go do this thing" gather missions. No thanks =*( Throw it in the bin!

Game would be a 5 but they have made some major errors before release. 1. The ability to join a party with friends doesn’t work. I have tried hundreds of times with less than a dozen of those attempts actually working. This tech has existed for decades it’s inexcusable to have their party system in this bad a state. 2. Their server stability is pretty poor… I would say 1-10 games I get randomly disconnected. I am using a wired connection with 1gb fiber and have zero issues with other multiplayer games. You can see in some games half the players get kicked randomly… almost like the server decides to switch from 64 players to 40 Overall the graphics and sound are really good. The animations and gameplay itself are smooth and rewarding, However, until they fix the major issues of not being able to group with friends and stability of servers (which are the top issues on those trello board…) the game is just /meh. Solid three stars.

Great evolution in the looter-shooter genre that combines destiny with the chaos and depth of Diablo III and blends them together in a beautifully rendered hellscape of dystopian fun times! I have been playing shooting games since wolfenstien, doom, and quake. I played Destiny 2 for a few hours. Warframe for a couple weeks, and am a big fan of the Borderlands franchise. Outriders has built off all of these and distilled what was fun (shooting, running around like an idiot, feeling like a demigod) do near perfection. The fact that you need to use shooting accuracy, positioning, spatial awareness, and knowledge of your classes strengths/weaknesses to be successful makes this one stand out above the rest. -rOcK

4 hours well spent IMO. In preparation for this version my partner and I watched most of the DCEU including the theatrical release. The extra time added wasn’t just fluff and really gave more weight and filled in a ton of gaps. Fantastic!

I love shows that really go out there and fundamentally take the opportunity to stretch what has come before them. Legion and Thor: Ragnorok are prime examples. One of the things I like so much about this show is not only how it makes use of the latest technology but uses it to pay homage to all the previous story telling mechanisms that today’s movies and shows were built upon. Even if this show doesn’t win any awards for artistic direction, it will stand out as a piece of work crafted by teams who have general love for story telling and the history of using moving pictures for telling those stories. Bravo.

I have a high end PC so my review reflects my experience of the game on that platform. Using RTX ultra game plays at a nice 60+FPS. The AI while a bit dumb (esp with “police”), is acutally fairly challenging if you don’t cheese through with stealth or sniping on the higher difficulties. The story and voice acting are really pretty good and I feel like I am participating in a complex sci-fi thriller. Sadly a lot of the advanced techniques and graphics enhancements were not properly vetted on lower hardware before officially releasing on those platforms. Having a blast! Overall, great work CDPR! With a bit of work this game should be playable on all the moder platforms, just going to take some optimization and dedication.

Boo, wanted to play this for a long time. Blizzard has been lazy and money grabbing since D3 onward. These days when I see a Blizzard game I don’t get pumped I get sad, like panda =(
