I love Burnout 3!

It's nuts, man. It's the standout title in the franchise and neither its sequels nor its prequels came close to its perfection of arcade racing.

Indeed. The PS2 was loaded with great, great racers. I'm still going trough Gran Turismo 4, after being massively pissed by the new GT Sport game.

Im playing Gran Turismo 6 now. I played the hell out of 5. When 6 came out it really angered me at how much was missing. I used to do all the races myself, then do b-spec races aswell. I loved b-spec mode. I put the game back on at 11:30 am this morning, the updates and installs didnt finish until 10:30 pm tonight. But im back in, its much better. B-spec is there. Although i hate the PP addition. I forgot about that. You can only race cars with a certain power in certain events which means you cant take a super car to the early events. But you need to progress through the early events to get to the super cars its not like you can break the game. You no longer have the fun of seeing how far you came with your beastly cars by taking them back to prior events because you are too OP. So you never really feel OP because you can only race against equals.

Screw GT sport. I played the beta, demo sucked. Minimal VR. No GT mode. Rubbish. Atleast GT academy didnt pretend to be a new game.

I've played all of them (including the PSP, Prologue & Concept games) except GT6 because I was burned out by the GT5 issues. Do you think GT6 is a better game than GT5?

As for GT Sport, I played the beta and was massively disappointed by the lack of anything single player. I'm a huge GT fan, but I'm starting to feel that Polyphony Digital has let me down one times too many.

Nah i dont think so. I was on it all last night again, and ive had about 6 hours just now. It feels so sterile. Less cars, less race modes. Dont be deceived by the number 6 following 5 into thinking the game will be new and flashy. It feels dead. Theres just something about it so bleh. Id say if you didnt dislike GT5, to sink your time into that and wait for GT7. All GT 6 did was re-model some of the cars to make them nice and shiny ( as a result taking cars out of the game) so you can take pictures in game .But the graphics dont even look good anymore so theres no justification for 6.

Good to know. I'm replaying GT5 since I didn't think GT Spit, I mean Sport was that much of a generational leap. Squint and they'll look the same and cars and environments still look stiff and bland. The main reason I never got GT6 was because of the megaton updates and the lack of Top Gear tracks. I guess I'll keep having fun with GT5 until GT7 comes out.. in 2022.

Theres something odd about the Graphics in 6, its like they designed the game to be for PC and they ported it to ps3 with all the settings set to low to medium. Theres a suspicious amount of graphical control like they forgot to remove them from the game. And theres quite a bit of screen taring, and massive jagged shadows that looks like tetris blocks are about to fall on you when you go under trees. Its like they set graphics to medium, shadows to low and forgot to turn off v-sync. It runs smooth enough but the graphics are an unusual combination of good and bad.

The Evil Within 2. I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm taking my time exploring and doing the side objectives.

Are you saying GT5 looks better than GT6? I thought GT5 looked great, but it had a lot of rough edges. Could have sworn it would be fixed in GT6.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I've been playing Destiny 2, but man, this game is boring as **** once you hit end game.

Thinking of picking up Shadow Of War...

The games pretty much look the same. Some of the cars in 6 have more pixels as a gimmick to look nicer but its only on select cars so its not really a blanket statement to say its a better looking game. Maybe the blinding whiteness lighting effect that makes it seem like a flash grenade has went off in your car when you are leaving a tunnel is a new effect but thats about it.

Just picked up a physical copy of Battle Chasers: Nightwar. The setup is JRPG style and is fairly linear so far. Like many, I'm just glad to have Joe Mad's BCs back in any form.

 

[MachoGeek80]

Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition and Yakuza Kiwami.

As soon as the Xbox One X drops I have Outlast 2, the BioShock Collection, Skyrim and Gears of War 4 waiting. And Star Wars Battlefront 2. I need 36 hour days, 4 hour work days and a nanny.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Batman: Return to Arkham City, Riddler trophy hunt.

Kill me.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Resident Evil 4 HD (PS4) (Got it at a discount for $7 on the network, along with Code Veronica for $3)

It's nice playing at a constant 60 FPS... the problem is the reloading animation for the two rifles is at 30 FPS...

 

[Jameson Rook]

I'm being the Batman on the go.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

My brother bought me The Witcher III, like I don't have a big enough back log of games to play. I did start it just to check it out. I like it even though I haven't progressed very far yet. Looks like it's crazy involved though so I don't know if I'll ever finish it since I don't have time to play on a regular basis.

And yes, I know I need to get off my ass and start Uncharted 2.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Witcher III is great, but every time I start a new game I end up giving up on it. I lose interest in it since it's so daunting.

I've been playing... Rainbow Six Vegas 2 game is almost a decade old and somehow still has an active community.

 

[Biojex]

Playing three games at the moment

Horizon: Zero Dawn - My main time sucker at the moment. Beautiful game. Really fun game mechanics. Just wish traversal/climbing structure was a little more involved.

Mario Oddysey - my go to game when I want something less intense and just goofy fun

and GTAV (Ps4) - Slowed down on this a bit. Never finished it before and I may yet again hault...it just starts to drag a bit for me. I've also come across a few too many glitches that halt quest progression which makes me go search for a solution. But when the game is fun it's really fun.

 

[izeroi]

Mario Oddysey. Beat the game but now trying to collect everything in all worlds including outfits.
