Agreed about the weekly challenges. Horizon 5 became my most played Horizon game solely because my buddy and I went for 40 points every single week until new cars started being recycled, then we stopped. By the middle of it, we’d log in, rush to do the weekly stuff, often getting stuck on The Trial for several attempts, finally get the 40 and just quit for the week because we were out of time. It was definitely more of a chore. I only started having fun with the game again after it came out on PS5 which, funnily enough coincided with the end of new cars being added to the game. No more weekly anything, finally just playing for fun again.
And now it’s time to do it all over again.
Yeah it’s been pretty much the same game since Horizon 3 with new maps. All of the menus were the same, with different UI shapes and colors and all of the background processes were the same. I’m hoping they finally changed some stuff with 6, especially after so much of a gap, but I’m not holding my breath. It’ll be cool to be in a new map for the first time in a while.
I remember my mom bringing me to Best Buy in spring 2004 right after I had gotten my Gamecube the previous Christmas. I bought Smash Melee and Mario Sunshine. I was 7 years old.
I had gotten games before then but those were the first two I was taken to the store to buy myself.
I still remember holding them as I walked down the aisle toward the registers. Aaaand that was the cheapest those two games ever got lol
Train Goes Right, I think it was called, is a relaxing physics-based isometric view, Sega Saturn/PS1-styled game where you build a railroad by hand.
You lay the ties, put the ballast down, place the rails down, and hammer everything in. Then you can hop in a handcart and ride your track you built. The trailer implies the full game will have actual train locomotives and stuff too. It’s very chill and a fun game to play in small spurts of time. You can save your progress and come back at any time so there is no sort of looming Majora’s Mask moon.
I had all 5 3D GTA games come out before I was 17. The first rated M game I bought myself on launch day was GTA V. I’m almost 30 now.
Of course, GTA isn’t necessarily a kid’s game, but we all know who’s playing it. Same deal there. There’s a whole generation of people out there who don’t even know we had 6 stars.
The Series X is better in nearly every way. I have my Series X in the living room and then a One X near my computer. I’ve started bringing the Series X in here when I play. Series X has FPS boost, an SSD stock, and quick resume. I added an SSD to my One X and the Series X is still so, so much better. You mention wanting to play Forza. The Series X runs it at 60fps whereas the One X runs it at 30. For a racing game, the difference is absolutely massive.
Now, it’s hard to me to recommend an Xbox at all in the year 2026. I’d probably say get a PC at this point, or a PS5 if you really wanted a console for a bluray player.
First filed back in 2024 by Vicki Shotbolt, the lawsuit claims that Valve charges “excessive commission charges” that lead to “an unfair price which is then passed on to consumers”.
Don’t they just take the same commission as everyone except for Epic?
Not to mention PC is where I save the most money, and it’s solely thanks to Steam and the free Epic games.
Idk, this seems kind of weird when Steam has been seemingly one of the more user-friendly marketplaces, compared to other ones. Remember Uplay and Origin? Lol
Eh, Starfield feels the same as any other regular modern shooter, so like COD. It doesn’t feel like Doom, of course, but that’s it’s own thing.
