The patch notes for the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update really does make it sound like they overhauled the whole game. Once I've had my fill of Starfield, I'm 100% circling back to it. The DLC also looks to be spectacular and is reviewing extremely high.. Then it's onto Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. I don't know why, but having my gaming planned out for the next month and a half has me feeling pretty happy.

Wow! That's one of the biggest updates I've ever seen for a game that wasn't an expansion pack or DLC.

Played EA FC last night and liked it. Feels a bit heavier, not every pass going through. Also, the Millerntor is in the game which makes this an automatic purchase for me.

Since we have a video game thread, I guess we might have a bit of a storytime like they used to have in the HF EA NHL forum in 2013. So I mean, only keep reading if you're sad.

Some of you might remember me mentioning my Be A Pro got drafted by Detroit. My guy is a 5'9" sniper winger who leads the NHL in PIMs because I fight all the time. I'm on the first line with Larkin who's killing it, and Vrana who sucks. We were on a bad string of games, two meltdown OTL's and a bad loss. And what's on the calendar? My guy's first game against the Avs. Avs vs Red Wings in Denver.

So Francouz is in net, and I get an early assist on a Larkin goal. The Avs get a goal or whatever, it's tight. I'm thinking maybe we need a fight since it's the Avs. I'm on the ice, and Makar runs over Mo Seider and injures him. I go to fight him and Cale doesn't drop the gloves. Rantanen steps in and does well, but I win the fight. At the end of the game, MacDermid throws a big hit while I'm on the ice. He's been neck and neck with me for the league lead in PIMs all season. I'm 5'9", you'll remember from earlier. MacDermid doesn't have a chance, I kick the shit out of him. I end the game with a goal, two assists, and two fights. The Red Wings win 6-3. Yaaay, Red Wings!

Starfield certainly has bugs. I haven't encountered any game breaking, but some oddities and some I've had to quit and re-start the game. By Bethesda standards though, it is probably their most polished game of all time.
I’ve been crashing more the last few days or so… not sure why. It’s getting pretty irritating like, you’d think folks would be reporting it and they’d fix it right away.

Xbox btw. Someone on Reddit said they may have a patch, I’ll check when I get home

They are rolling out a new patch today. Hopefully it fixes your issues.

I saw someone post that glitch on Twitter. I didn't know it was so common. At least it's a funny glitch.

I'm just hoping if fixes my missing crew mate glitch. I have some mods installed, so I'm putting off downloading it right away.

I haven't been following social media on it, so no idea if it is the same as mine... but basically Andreja's running around like the headless horseman (her stealth is just stuck on her head so it is all wavy). Not a single person is creeped out. New Atlantis also lost the ground in a few areas. We're getting to the Bethesda jank for sure. :laugh:

The new Atlantis ground sounds a lot more concerning.

But yeah. Sounds like the same glitch I saw on Twitter. According to the comments, theirs eventually fixed itself after a few hours of gameplay.

Which is the best video game out there, Start Fox, Star Wars, Star Child or Star Field?

I am in the market for a 4K monitor and an RTX 4090.

Currently I only play BF2024 on PC. I play a game mode called Breakthrough. The attackers attack and the defenders defend the sectors. It gets pretty epic sometimes, maybe not as epic as BF1 but still decent.

People carrier ship?
It says it can hold 12 crew members, but I'm pretty sure the skill only goes up to 8 crew members. However I can have a ton of passengers because it's gigantic. I even put in a engineering Bay, armory, battle station, multiple store rooms, full kitchen with a mess hall, jail, three living quarters, and a captain's quarter.

I disagree for a lot of spoilery reasons
Nah I think it plays into the lore and you can decide which path you want to be… or both. I’ve run through it three times and when you start getting the alternates, it gets really good.

The alternates are the only reason to do it but there's no investment in your playthrough universe and no strong story reason to keep going through universes. Maybe they can address it in dlc.

So my incentive is.. make my powers a tiny more powerful? Pretty weak hook to leave everything behind. Very nihilistic.
The hook, to me, is forging the path between the two (really three) options and see what impacts it has on the world. What different choices may do.

I honestly almost never use the powers. Think they are kind of a waste and so are the temple mini games.
