I agree with a lot of what you said. My biggest gripe is the online saving nonsense. I still don’t completely understand the whole reasoning behind it. But graphically it is beautiful And the physics seem pretty good to me. So far I really am enjoying blasting through it. I’ve been focusing on the training exercises and the goals. I think my drivers experience is up to level 16 or 17 so far And about $1 million and added about 12 cars to my garage for free so not too bad For less than a week!

The reasoning behind always online saving was that the game is officially recognized by the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, thanks Google!) as a means to create real driving permits and breed real race car drivers, so their regulations amount to, of many things, the elimination of any possibility of people cheating. It's all fascinating and serious stuff, but at the end of the day I just want to play a damn game.

Have you raced online? I hear that players being a jerks bumping into other cars would get perma-banned. There's also and etiquette video on how to drive like a gentleman. Jeez, it's just a game, not real life. Lighten up!

I’m going to a beach bar today!

Ah I see. Seems way too over complicated for a video game!

I haven’t done anything online yet. Typically I don’t get into all that with groups of anonymous people as it usually turns into a bunch of grown men acting like little babies!

I'm glad I got approved for Tuesday so I got four.

Pro, did you add me last night on PSN? Are you Jream?

I tried adding Shaw, but his settings didn't allow me to send it.

Jesus, I wish I had today off too. I’m already scrambling to figure out how I’m going to get some stuff done today so I don’t have to come in on the weekend.

The last time I had that many days off in a row was when I went to SDCC. The time before that was the previous SDCC.

I just had five days off last week

I'll probably use a day for MLK day too in three weeks for a four day again.

 

[Jameson Rook]

If I had some days off, I'd like to finish all these videogames in my backlog- I have about 40 games I've yet to beat!

I got 7 Days to Die for Christmas, and have been dumping numerous hours into it with the wife. It's COOP split screen.

What kind of co-op? I might need a RE6 partner next year if you're up for it.

You can play with multiple people online. It's a zombie survival game in a giant sandbox. It's PS2 type graphics, but I think it has a charm about it.

The amount of crafting and scavenging you can do is crazy. You can literally build a safe house or a fortress from the ground up. You chop down trees for wood. Or chop up cars for metal and you need a forge and you can refine it to make metal bars etc.

Here's an example.



I saw a video where this girl was teamed up with another group and they linked their bases with a tunnel a few miles underground.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I've never heard of that, I'll check it out.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The amount of construction and digging you can do in it is baffling. The only issue is the console version tends to crash a lot.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I still have Uncharted 2-4 play, and I'd like to finish Arkham Knight and The Witcher (which I've barely even started). Plus, there's probably 2-3 more that I'd like to get but haven't because I know they'll just sit unopened. I miss my younger days when I could come home and play video games for hours.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm going to try to spend some time taking pics of some of my collection this weekend. I haven't taken pics of so many new things that I could probably spend a week doing nothing but taking pics.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I took this week off from doing figure reviews... but I gotta do some this weekend.

I'd love to take a couple weeks off. I'd probably go somewhere for a bit then have some time to stay home to get stuff done.
