Looks at graphics

you don’t say?

Doesn’t even look much better than NFS:MW (2005) that I’m playing currently. Granted, I’m running it at 3x native…

Console arcade racers are super fun, I’m completely addicted to this game right now.

Video game news:
I happen to be very deep in the Command and Conquer fan community [LURKER only]. Anyway EA recently reached to the community on reddit:

For those too lazy to click:

Fellow Command & Conquer fans,

My name is Jim Vessella, and I’m a Producer at Electronic Arts. Ten years ago I had the pleasure of being on the production team for Command & Conquer 3 and Red Alert 3, along with being the Lead Producer on Kane’s Wrath. During those years, some of my favorite moments were interacting with our passionate community, whether at our onsite Community Summits, on the forums, or while attending various events such as Gamescom.

As most of you may know, we recently announced Command & Conquer: Rivals, a mobile game set in the Command & Conquer universe. Following the reveal of Rivals, we heard you loud and clear: the Command & Conquer community also wants to see the franchise return to PC. And as a fan of C&C for over 20 years, I couldn’t agree more. With that in mind we’ve been exploring some exciting ideas regarding remastering the classic PC games, and already have the ball rolling on our first effort to celebrate the upcoming 25th Year Anniversary.

We are eager to hear your feedback to help influence our current thoughts for PC and what comes next. Over the next few weeks we’ll be talking to fans in a variety of ways. In the meantime, please share your thoughts here on the subreddit.

As a long time C&C fan and developer, I am just as passionate about the C&C franchise as you are, and look forward to hearing your thoughts as they help us shape the future of C&C at EA!

Thanks!

Jim Vessella

Good thing is the community is being very civil on the feedback and hopeful EA will listen.

the graphics are pretty good considering the size of the game and the fact it came out in 2012 lol.
i’m kindof tempted to get Forza Horizon 4 now but meh, idk if i’m willing to pay $60 and have to deal with the windows store nonsense lul
but i like Horizon because it’s Forza, but instead of being boring as fuck it’s open world and i can do what i want lol
instead of what was previously normal for Forza to be, a strict racing game. this has all the high end racing sim tech but open world so is nice.

currently am doing it with it almost 100% realistic. only things i havent turned off are brake lines and everything is automatic. oh and diffiiculty is medium… for now. will probably bump it to hard though to actually have a challenge instead of winning all the things lol.

Star Citizen news:
The company has goal to publish a full roadmap for S42’s in December.


I mean by December I could be roleplaying in Fallout 76… as long as the reviews are good for it. Really will see what Gopher thinks of it when he gets more time with it.

What will I roleplay as: Not sure. Minimum - She likes waffles.

It will be nice to see a Roadmap for 42.

Star Citizen has been having quarter releases this year and it seems like it is on track. I’m going to wait till it is out of alpha and beta before I dive back into it.

Pretty good, have mostly been playing Facotrio maybe a little too much but its just too damn addicting, hows you?

That game looks too crazy for me :joy:

Life has been crazy the last two weeks. Insane career opportunity that tanked because of a previous relationship with the VP, current career opportunity that is ramping up to be a wild ride if I get it :grimacing:

The game is pretty insane but also very satisfying to build and watch it all come together.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully things will start looking up.

Oh, things are great! I love my current job. The two I’m tangoing with both hunted me down. They were enticing enough to lure me away.

So you pick a class and it gives you a deck and you’re playing as a boss from one of the solo adventures with their hero power.
