Anybody here play MSFS 2020? 

 

I have it and really enjoy it, but I haven't played it in a while. I need to pull my HOTAS setup back out from the closet and play some more. 

Hell, I landed a Piper Cub (I think) in Bulldog Stadium as well as Recreation Park (Single A baseball stadium) in Visalia.

It's weird how it accurately recreates the world

Anyone here watch honest game trailers? I enjoy them. Here are a few from games mentioned recently:

 

 

My wife and I are both gamers. She is really into breath of the wild right now. Not my style , but maybe I could give it a shot. I've got a 6 hour plane ride to Maui coming up, I'll need something to keep myself from dying of boredom.

Do it! Breath of the wild is one of my favorite games of all time. I am ridiculously stoked for the sequel that comes out in a couple weeks.

The first Jedi Survivor game was bad IMO. I got maybe three or four hours into it. 

I am little tentative about getting the next one. 

It was? Sure, it requires grinding, but that goes for all RPGs. And while I've never played them, it has been compared (in a good way) to Dark Souls.

The only parts I truly had issues with, are the minimaps and having to run clear across the planet back to the ship when you finally finished the main mission there. The minimaps were horrendous to navigate (mainly certain areas with crisscrossing paths) and running all the way back after the mission is incredibly anti-climatic.

But some of my favorite parts were simply the banter while on the ship.

 

...The sequel is currently out of my reach. My PC simply isn't good enough for it, and I do not have any of the next gen consoles.

OK nerds. Jedi Survivor game is out. Just watched the IGN review and they were effusive in their praise. Said it was better than the first. 9/10. I am excited.

Well, that's only for PC, and it seems same day patches will be released with it.

...Still mad though. Simply for not being able to play it. Guess its back to Force Unleashed 1 and 2 to vent frustrations out.

The depth and complexity of BotW were a shock to me when I first played. I honestly didn't think the Switch hardware could support such a massive open world.

Well, not able to play it myself, but watching a twitch streamer play through it right now. And other than a couple minor frame rate issues, its been running great for him, and he's been enjoying it.

I'm reading the Steam reviews and it's getting hammered for performance issues. I decided that I'll be picking it up on my Xbox Series X.

Any of you guys play the big esports titles? League of Legends, etc. I’m not a big gamer, but am getting decent-ish in Rocket League.  I enjoy it a lot, but really started playing just to hang with my brother.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

I've heard EA delayed NCAA football for another year. I was really looking forward to that later this summer 

It was always a tease. EA is a total disaster anyway.

My 1660 Ti that I bought as a stopgap over three years ago is finally dying on me. I'm running a 980 right now, and it has its own issues. 

I'm really looking forward to this thing getting here tomorrow though. Then I'll end up just playing Final Fantasy XIV instead of trying to push it in a taxing game. 😂
