Playing soccer IRL is the best entertainment therapy in my life, second to video games, more especially under racing. 

Let's see i was 6 years and a half,  i turn 36 in 2 weeks, fuck stop making me feel old  😉

And there in lies a huge problem. That's you not caring about what others have to say and that is not a mistake, that is a policy. It's way you decide to go about things on this forum, and it's not good. I've noticed a lot this recently with some some people who do what I've descried as posting anything just to post something. Not only do they not seem interseted in creating well researched posts with foresight and purpose, but they are also not really willing to read well researched posts crafted with foresight and purpose either. If it will take more than a few seconds to read, they just don't bother. This is just like what I say with @Boblee and @Heatman on the Burnout thread.
 
Why is not worth the time to actually read what others have said? If we're not worth that time to you, then why should we care about anything you have to  say? If anything, being on a forum and part of the VGR community is more about reading, understanding and learning about others on the forum and thier viewpoints and perspectives rather than posting your own. If you can't be bothered to do that, then you are wasting everybody's time. There is little point on even being here. That's harsh, I know, but it's the truth. To everyone reading this, give your fellow members the bare minimum of respect and actually read thier posts and read the thread before even thinking of posting anything. This is basic forum educate here.

That will be pathetic indeed, everyone got what's making them money, and we wouldn't discriminate that, not even WHO, even if it has health effect. Those who are making money as a result of playing games wouldn't listen to what WHO said. 

thanks))pleased to hear. I have 2 fav titles - Spyro and Crash Bandicoot - which I can play for hours. And... I'm waiting for Stray cause I like cats very much. I'm quite good at Spyro and Crash but oh no, I'm absolutely not good at .io games. I'm usually killed/dead in the first 2 minutes. I've seen several youtubers playing professionally such games as combines.io or paper-io.com, and their performances are great! I didn't even guess that there could be such well-designed tactics of step-by-step winning where I lose immediately ( and lose interest too). I'm better in using spinner than in playing web games ahahhaah

I dont think you know what an Hugo award is, an Hugo award is a literary award for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements , as in Short stories, Novels, Art and just recently they added a Best Videogame category in this case the first ever winner was Hades.

A gaming studio cannot win an award like this and even less for purchasing another company, that has nothing to do with the award itself and doesnt deserve an award in anyway because it was a business purchase

I really don't know why they went ahead to create monster energy supercross series when they have Motor GP series to improve on, that's their choice, I'm still enjoying both of them. 

Monster energy is the title sponser of the series the game is based on hence the title and you know pretty sure they give milestone a huge sack of cash for naming the game like that.
 
I can't help it but i find milestone their games unfinished most of the time, they have been crapping out several games each year of mostly mediocre quality, especially the loading times are awfull. I mean do we really need 2 motorcross games each year (mxgp and monster energy supercross) it's a sport that is already niche in itself and on top of that you have motogp releases yearly and i've read somewhere milestone is working on a game based on the world superbike series a bit too much for a small studio if you ask me.
Also justin you should check out the ride series, imo the better games from milestone, kind of the gran turismo of motorcycling games but just not as polished.

I did not get to watch Maradona play live, but I have watched recorded matches and he is my best sports player of all time.

I found your explanation helpful, and I've decoded the information I needed mostly. It's pleasant your boss doesn't worry about your gaming urge at workplace. I believe you wouldn't play io games during working hours? lol. 

Checkers
Monopoly
Chutes & Ladders
Candyland
Sorry

If Crystal Dynamics even have the game released in 2023, it will definitely be too rushed. Some reports suggest it may get to 2025 before it's officially ready.

You're correct, PS4 have such option, I went to Google now, I found more about it. And I'm so pleased I learned something marvelous today around my PS4. 

It's a series racing game, the edition 5 is the one I got recently. 

 

They must have fixed them bugs cause I honestly barely encountered any. It’s a top notch military game I’ve been playing everyday now the past week. I don’t have much military games to compare to but who cares. I think it’s a great game. 

like Agar.io, Combines.io, Slither.io, Venge.io

I cannot give a strict definition either, bt I call "io games" all those short free (often multiplayer) browser games and there are thousands of them now. I like to switch off my brain for 5-10 minutes while playing them at work during breaks😁it's good that my boss is not against some gaming on the workplace hahhhaha 
or after work... just to do something stupid and waste a bit of time, kinda of relaxation session

I really appreciate the time you spent to type this message without mistake, and it showed enough incite on what's happening with the prominent individuals whose power are making their head swirl. 
I want to know if the Republican and Democrats are political parties or tribes in United States, you can explain further there, what came about the two opposite numbers. 
Already the monopoly have started with Elon musk, he has boycotted Twitter just to continue hyping and promoting his investments, downgrade what he doesn't like. I just hope he doesn't mismanage Twitter just as I've said before. 
 
My country NIGERIA has lots of problem bigger than USA, that's not what I can type here all, our leaders in Nigeria are worst than Elon musk, they're just selfish. You can Google what's happening around Nigeria, you'll notice that the marginalization is huge within the politicians and it's subjects. 
 
I just hope Twitter doesn't end up being dead rant, if Elon musk use it for personal promotion and banning anything he feels like to ban, then Twitter will lose it's value completely. At least we have Meta, even if people use it too, for misinformation, but it is an alternative in case Twitter go tolling. I wouldn't support racism, hate speeches, monopoly of opinions and leaving others to feel inferior. Democrats and the Republicans should be seen as one with equal rights, I hate segregation, it is leading my country towards hell.  political party existence, with malicious thoughts just to win election and steal public funds for personal consumption while others suffer. 
 
With the help of social medias, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. We can give information what's happening in the world, accurate information especially. Misinformation leads to misunderstanding, we don't want that, we need the right information. Just as you've explained about 'security breaches, which puts people moving from U.S.-Mexico border at threat due to misinformation. I just hope fake information doesn't overshadow accurate information in the future, if not, the earth will be too vulnerable to live in.

Right after Elon Musk bought Twitter, the Department of Homeland Security has created the Disinformation Governance Board announced on April 27th. It was created to fight the misinformation from Russia's invasion and Russia's threat to meddle in future elections. It would also help prevent misinformation of our borders from smugglers profiting off of drawing people to the borders. 
"The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up an effort to counter disinformation coming from Russia as well as misleading information that human smugglers circulate to target migrants hoping to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border. “The spread of disinformation can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters, and public trust in our democratic institutions,” the department said in a statement Wednesday."

So hopefully this can restore a bit of faith that there is something being done in this country to protect people and our democracy from hostile misinformation. And Musk and the republicans are obviously not too pleased with the announcement. Of course they would get offended by that, why wouldn't they when they depend on lies and conspiracies that harm lives and democracy itself. Meanwhile those republicans banned books in schools, banned talk of racism, history, civil rights, women suffrage, gender identity, etc. in schools. They got no room to talk anymore. They don't even want to have debates anymore because they can't face public criticism of their craziness.
Meanwhile, Musk is trolling liberals every single day now since he got Twitter and he already broke contract agreement with Twitter where he was not allowed to talk bad about Twitter board members until the deal was finalized, but Musk keeps shit talking everyone. Maybe narcissism is setting in as he ages. Looks that way. His power is getting over his head. He's joking around (or is he) about buying Coca-Cola to 'put cocaine back in' as well as McDonald's. And republicans were trying to ban Coca-Cola for speaking out against republican voting suppression bills. So it's obvious Musk just wants to troll liberals now. And republicans are abusing their power and attacking every corporation that speaks out about their hate bills. How did these people get so vindictive? 
But I hope things can get a little better if we had less Russian lies, Covid lies, election lies, inciting violence etc. 

Social media shouldn't have to suffer from a few bad apples. We all need social media to know what happens in the world but when those in power abuse the media and then take it away from citizens is a dangerous move. That's why I worry about Twitter becoming privately owned now instead of publicly owned because now with Musk's alignment with republicans, they can do what they want with the social media even shut it down if they feel it necessary to block spread of information from citizens in case of a future crisis or just censor whatever they want. Of course there is still Meta that is still publicly owned which have had its share of profiting from right wing misinformation and hate. So my faith now resides in the prepping laws Europe has taken to combat this with the Digital Services Act for Europe. The rest of us are vulnerable to the abuse from those that control social media. 
Especially in Nigeria I fear for the conflicts that can happen there in relation to the president and what happened in early 2021 and how that can affect your social media in the future. I'm not familiar with the history of your government and the coups that have happened, and the civil war. I hope recent conflicts doesn't put innocent people in harm. That's where social media becomes most important to help the rest of us understand the situation. Our social media is more important than ever especially with all the events in the world. But Twitter took a negative turn. There will always be misinformation, I understand that, but inciting violence and Covid dangerous lies has to be held in check which Musk is not the stand up person for the job. 

I'm sorry you had to miss out on when the franchise (and I think by extension the whole genre) was at it's best.  Don't get me wrong there has been evolution in sim racing with the GT Series and licenced products like F1 and WRC.  Open world racing games have gotten a lot better too with titles like Forza Horizon.  Unfortunately the drifting, nitro boosting, vehicle smashing, fuck realism, balls to the wall arcade racers that I used to love like Burnout 3 are all but destroyed.  Thanks largely to EA and Burnout Paradise.

If truly what you've said about Elon musk, criticizing the liberals is true, then I'll say it is ridiculous. No one has the right to tag people 'radical far left' that's considered as abuse. I really don't know his intentions for engaging in such. I just hope he doesn't mismanage Twitter as the current owner, which might lead to max Exodus in the social media platform if things aren't put in order. 
Maybe Elon musk will unban Donald Trump, that's their business I don't care. Our president Buhari made us suffer for months due to his selfish interest by using violating sentences during a post. I can't really remember it, I could've searched for it and tagged it here, but since you can Google anything, you can find it there. So, he was banned including his cabinets that got involved in the altercation.
 
Because he is the president of federal republic of Nigeria, it affected everyone access to Twitter. His selfish interest made Twitter to shut down everyone coming from Nigeria performing activities on their platform. Such led me, using a VPN which I never liked when it comes to accessing internet. And it was just frustrating for me back then. Twitter should have banned our president and not closing Nigerian IPs from accessing it's social platform earlier on. I felt happy again when it reopened for us. 

Our amiable moderator @Shagger deserves it more. He's always helping out in terms of posts and instructions to keep VGR clean, I must applaud that first. That's the main reason why I'm nominating him this time. 

Elon Musk is now using the Twitter platform to attack liberals. Today he makes a meme calling liberals the radical far left. Sound familiar? That's what the looney republican fascists keep saying. But hold on, no criticism of the far right? The radical fascists who constantly call for violence, firing squads, coup attempt, threatening to murder the vice president and house speaker, and killed and attacked cops at the capital? The radical right wingers who is attacking the LGBTQ community, physically attacking students and parents at schools, banning history and talk of race and gender and amendments to the constitution in public schools? The far right who goes on mass shootings, voting suppression and election lies, Russia supporters, Covid conspiracies and acting out violently for wearing masks? Oh, but Musk, the rich guy who probably hangs with the 1% calls liberals radical. Today Musk declares himself a right winger. He says he is center right, but no he isn't if he's attacking liberals and not conservatives. He is the far right now. Twitter is fucked. As the far right continues to get worse and worse, the center, left and progressives seems like the radical left to those insane genocidal maniacs. 
Looks like both trump and Buhari had it coming for them. That's interesting you point that out. I remember hearing a little bit about that. There was so much going on here that I hardly payed attention to what happened with Buhari. So the Nigerian government banned Twitter in retaliation to Buhari's ban correct? Looks like Twitter made some kind of agreement with their government to allow Twitter and Buhari back. I wonder if Twitter made some agreement with Musk or if Musk is going to make an agreement with trump to let that crony back on Twitter in time for midterms. And it's ironic that trump might be back on Twitter to tweet his garbage while Musk is sitting here criticizing the left. Trump even backed the Nigerian government during that time of the ban and trump was saying all countries should ban Twitter. Well, it's the radical right wing platform now. All it ever takes is a rich man with no soul. 

What I need to point out fist of all is that you only including half of @Justin11's post to make it look irrelevant is not fair. By actually looking at the entire post;
 
 
And I'm looking at both you and @Heatman, I'm not letting you of with this either;
 
 
I'd say @Justin11 is on topic. I'm not gonna lie, it's not the easiest post to read and he neglected to mention that RDR2 came in 2018, but there is no need "call him out" like this. I at least understood what he meant. Rockstar haven't released anything and since RDR2 apart from "the trilogy" which was a disaster and the fact that Rockstar have only released one new game in the last decade is pertinent to this topic. I don't even know if this omission of RDR2's 2018 replace date is what you two are complaining about, and whether it is or not, you both completely failed to connect that or anything to @Justin11's post. It also doesn't justify this allegation @Heatman made that @Justin11 hasn't played the game. I can love a game without remembering when it came out.
 
So if anyone is guilty of posting something off-topic and irrelevant as well as confusing, it's you two, not @Justin11. Might I suggest first and foremost that you worry about the quality and consistency of your own posts first, and if you feel something needs attention, report it. Especially you @Boblee since you actually double posted your "complaint" of @Justin11, but don't worry, I've already fixed that.

I just checked the review now on Google, it was released on Feb 22, 2019. I'll be getting this game soon, it has a PS4 version.
