CD Projekt Red is my new favorite studio (now that Bioware is going down the crapper). I've been preordered for this game for forever.

I just recently discovered Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition was released on Steam a while back. I played quite a bit years ago(2000ish), and was pretty decent in online play, so I jumped back in to it and to say that I'm getting destroyed is an understatement. People are so much better nowadays, and have learned the optimal way to progress and its crazy if you don't follow a cookie cutter strategy how far behind you get. I'm still having fun, but it's a little sad that everyone plays exactly the same now.
It's that way with most any game, and the longer it has been out and unchanged, the more likely it is to happen, which is why the developers continually re-balance games like StarCraft; just to shuffle those strategies.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
Don't know if anyone on this board is a fan of the baseball game The Show but one of my favorite YouTubers Matt Antonelli has a baseball channel where he played the game. He's a former baseball player in real life so it makes it more interesting as he can compare it to real life. Seems like a good guy too, so Its a fun channel if you like MLB.
just bought the show in the ps store sumer sale, 30 bucks. a buddy of mine was selling me on it. Their version of Ultimate is pretty fun with the baseball cards.
I just started playing again. Right now I am Silver 3rd rank, Postion 1 or 2.....
I am still trying to work on my hotkeys, i feel once I can learn my hotkeys I will easy be Gold.
I own it, but only ever play by myself vs the computer, and I only ever both playing as Protoss, and I use the same lame strategy every time that doesn't involve "zerg rushing". I fire it up maybe once a month and play a game or two to kill some time before walking away from it again.

watched some gameplay of the pga 2k21 game last night, this game looks pretty good, i am in the process of moving right now so i will probably hold off on purchasing, and maybe i can score a deal in the coming weeks.
Man did I need a current gen golf game though. Everybody's Golf is a fantastic game but I need I sim, and this one looks to be the part.
Anyone score a pre-order for PS5? Im soooo mad. First, the CEO said "gamers will have ample time notice for pre-orders"
a month later, he says, "Pre-orders will be tomorrow!"
5 min after he says THAT, retailers took pre-orders. I had notification setup from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Sony, and I didn't get a single notification email that pre-orders were being taken.
THEN, Walmart says today at like 5pm EST, that "we will have more Pre-orders at 9pm EST"
Get on there site on my PC, my wifes PC, my phone, my wifes phone, and I even had my MOM at her house trying to get one. I get one in my cart, and click checkout, and then says "we're sorry, this item is sold out".
Really mad about it TBH. They should have sent notifications like they said they would.
Microsoft acquires Zenimax media which includes Bethesda Studios, Id Software, ZeniMax Online, Arkane Studios, Machine Games, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios.
It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!
New Xbox pre orders start tomorrow at 11:00am, amazon, target, best buy are just 3 of the ones i will be trying to get one at. PS5 pre orders went really quick. I won’t be able to try til 3:00.
New Call of Duty, Cold War is out. I’ve got the cross-gen version so with my Xbox I can play with playstation players. Anybody wants to play my gamertag is BeerFrenchy. Not very good but I enjoy playing it.
Picking it up later today, after I'm done with work (I have to be productive, so I'm going to hold off on going to get it until I finish these tasks).

I broke down and pre-ordered it, too. Now I just need to fix the tv the system is hooked up to or rearrange things so I'll actually be able to play it.
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.
I bought it because I wanted to support a studio that still takes the time and effort to make good games vs shoveling crap out of the door to make a deadline.
That said, I have been becoming more and more leery of the game as more and more bad press keeps coming out (many of it CDPR's own doing... as is mentioned in the article).
I preordered forever ago and picked it up today, so we'll see how it is. I hesitate to weigh in at all on the topic as I don't feel I have enough understanding of the offended party's perspective, but a lot of the criticism seems over the top. I'm not saying that the trans community should simply be happy that they're trying, but I think the criticism should be more productive. I feel like whenever a game studio or other content creator tries to push things in a more progressive direction, they never quite get it "right", or it's never enough for somebody and they're the target of a full-scale attack.
That's where I am right now, but I reserve the right to get smarter once I've started in on the game and can start to form more informed opinions.

Playing the new Call of Duty online, Ive got my kills/death ratio to 0.97, it has never been higher. Got almost 24 hours played so far. Gonna put some serious work in this weekend and get it over 1.00.
Well after putting in a lot of work, got K/D ratio to 1.05. My daughter puts me to shame. She went 50 kills, 9 deaths in a game of Team Deathmatch. I was amazed watching her play.
Highly encourage all of you to click the link and read.
I will not be buying this game.
I don't completely agree with the article. Some of the things that were said by CDPR in the past are definitely crappy. But taking issue with the artwork? Why? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. That's basically how people dress in the game.
As far as the game goes... For those not following, PS4 versions of the game have been pulled from the ps store. This game was clearly not ready to go. They offered up refunds for those who wanted it.
I am not really that mad about it. I know they will fix the game over time. I've got about 5-6 hours into it so far and have encountered very small bugs. nothing major
Not a bad though so far. Still kind of exploring Night City
I didn’t quite understand much till I listened and read the perspectives from individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. CDPR fetishized trans individuals for the game and marketing. The artwork and advertisement of the “mix it up” individual was portrayed by a straight guy.
There a ton more information on the situation. PM me if you want some more reading on this.
I'm nitpicking and getting away from the larger point, but alas...
I don't think I'll ever understand the (fake) outrage behind when someone outside a certain demographic is used to act/portray that demographic.

The fake outrage we see today because a certain race, gender, disability, etc... isn't played by someone who fits that in real life, is hilarious to me
I don't really get it. I don't think that is some kind of discrimination. Hank Azaria stopped doing Apu. Why? He went on for THREE DECADES doing that voice and I don't ever remember people complaining.
Like I said, the artwork doesn't bother me. It's art. It's supposed to be whatever the hell you want.
I do have a problem with some of the comments that CDPR employees/communication has made in the past. Everyone plays video games. I believe the trans community is huge there. So it's kind of crappy that some, who may have even been excited for the game, had to read and see that kind of stuff.
