God I hated burnout paradise as well, worst purchase of my life, I remember buying this on my Xbox360. I had the same complaint, I didnt care much for the open world aspect,but my biggest complaint is that the game doesnt have a mini map, not even on the remastered version, so whenever Im on a race I have to constantly pause the game to look at the map and figure out a route , why didnt they just gave you a recommended route to the finish line ? it doesnt matter if it wasnt the fastest but at least you could get an idea as to how to get there. Horrible game, I couldnt bother  more than a day playing it. I just wished they had remaster Burnout 3 instead

Im tired of dealing with ads in facebook and youtube and now we are going to have to deal with this on games as well ?? next thing you know we are going to have to start paying for yet another service to get rid of the ads, how clever of sony....

I'm a Heineken guy. It's probably the best beer 🍻 in the world for me. I tried out Budweiser once and I had a sore/burning throat after drinking it. 

If there is one thing belgians are good at it's drinking beer, myself include offcourse. Needless to say Belgian beer is probably the best in the world! 
Don't know how hard it is to get these in other countries but they are fairly well know worldwide, if you have the chance check them out, you will not regret it.

The in-game ads are expected to launch by the end of the year and would appear in inconspicuous places within the game, like billboards. Players could also get rewards for watching advertisements, and the ads would be sold through a private marketplace, Insider reports. Sources told Insider that Sony hasn’t yet decided if it would take a portion of ad revenue but is considering having developers and publishers pay for consumer data.
According to reports, both Sony and Microsoft plan to introduce ads in games this year
Thoughts?

You're very correct. Epic Games used to have loot boxes but they have it removed from the game and settled gamers.

You pull off a major steal with this one or maybe you even underestimated how good you are, which is why you are shocked with your winning 🥇. Congratulations mate.

GOD BLESS SKILL DRAIN!!!!
just had the duel of my life, my opponent was better than me, he had better cards than me, and I just survived 30 minutes with less than 200 life points and I WON the fucking duel all because of this single card.
 

It doesnt really matter though at the end of the day its just dlc and its probably going to be some game modes and probably a few story chapters like they did with RE7 so I dont think we are missing out on anything great and since E3 has been cancelled they will probably wait to show this on another event during the year

Its already been unofficially confirmed that there will be RE8 DLC this year

Actually it has nothing to do with marketing, its for several reasons and it depends on each game. It can be due to the servers, for a game to work in that specific region you will need servers in that region as well, and of course that also comes with legal, licensing, transalation, content regulations,  publishing issues etc that affect the release on a specific country thats why not all games release to all countries at the same time. There is a bunch of issues that will affect a game to not be released on a specific country but I dont think marketing is one of them, if it was it will be a very stupid reason

I've stolen horses in RDR Online, and I've had horses stolen from me in RDR Online. It's not impossible, it's actually quite easy. You walk up to the horse, climb on, and ride away. You're missing the problem with PK's. And you're playing somewhere that makes me wonder if you've explored much. If you get out and really look, you will find them everywhere.

Here's an oldie, but a goodie:
I was walking through the cemetery one day when a specific tombstone caught my attention. When I went up to it and read the name on the grave my blood ran cold. It was mine.

For me, it's Burnout. The games were intense, felt fantastic to control, unique, great soundtracks and massive fun. Apart from Burnout Paradise, that game can suck a smelly toe, but the rest of them are great. Burnout 3 in particular is, in my humble opinion, the best arcade racing game ever made, and given the decline in the genre, will probably be best we will ever see. 

True, it is our job to remind people to get back on topic. That is a part of the job. But it shouldn't have to be. We shouldn't have to tell people to get back on topic. I understand that topics derail easily. But if we have to step in and tell people to get back on topic, then the derailment of discussion has gone much further than it ever should have. If a discussion goes off topic, and you want to continue that discussion, then make a separate thread in the appropriate forum and continue the discussion there. That way the initial thread can get back on topic. I know that @Shagger, @DC, and myself would appreciate that as it would make our jobs easier, as well as make the forum run smoother. And I'm pretty sure the entire forum would appreciate that as well.
It would also end a lot of headaches for everyone here.

I just beat watch dogs 2 must admit it suprised me in a good way, only negative i can point out it's at times a little to hipster for my taste. Kind of want to get the season pass but it's 40 bucks like over my dead body i ain't going to pay that much for it.

GT6.  I've been binging on WRC 8 lately, but sometimes I find joy in revisiting GT6.  I won the ten minutes of Rome with the special blue Corvette and then modded and raced an '86 Celica.

I have watched one of Star Trek movies and it was the short talking donkey was my favorite character in the movie. 

Gen 5 seems to be very popular nowadays. I remember several years back people relentlessly shit on it. Glad it's getting the appreciation it deserves.

You're very correct about the audience age range of Fortnite. I think I made one comment about sex or something in one of their communities and it was reported for being too corrupt or something..😂 

For me I think I hear @The Blackangel faintly calling me from the computer room. It happens quite a lot. Very annoying. Also when we were living in a different house from the one we currently live in, I could swear I would hear the tv on in the front room. I would get up and see and the tv would be completely off. 
Also sense @The Blackangel installed a security camera in the computer room each night it gets triggered by a single moth. There are no moths in the room but each time the camera is turned on at night it is there flying right in front of it. 

Wave Race 64 and Mario Kart 64. Good and short games. Im in a retro vibe.
 

I will attempt my first pokemon Nuzlocke challenge with randomizer cheat code activated. I will follow the normal Nuzlocke rules which are:
 
-Every Pokemon captured must be nicknamed.
-When a Pokemon faints, it "dies" and therefore must either be released or put in a "grave" box, unable to be used ever again.
-Only the first pokemon that shows up on any given route is catchable.
I will try to do this on Pokemon Heart Gold and will see how it goes. Have you ever tried a Nuzlocke challenge before ?
