That 1998, 1999 period saw so many great games come out across many genres, and Homeworld was one of the best. It also had an amazing expansion pack in Cataclysm and sequel in HW2. If they take their time to get it right, I'm on board with the delays for HW3.
I remember Cataclysm being insanely hard. Like you could fail a mission 3 maps back because of lack of resources carried forward hard.

There were stages of those games where, if you weren't already heavily investing in salvage corvettes and kiting enemies one at a time to boost the size your forces, you could be sunk. Sort of tedious.

Well that HW3 demo seems promising as hell. Some of the interface modernization seems helpful, some of it less so. I might try the classic movement controls to see which I like better. An easy buy, though. Looks good.

Sony snnouncingthe PS6 will be released in 2028:


This is hilarious to me. There are barely any games on the PS5 (ok, likely because of the pandemic, but still) and yet Sony wants to release its successor 4 years from now. Everyone who has bought a PS5 has been suckered.

God's gift to humanity (FF7: Rebirth) is coming out next week on PS5. Worth the $500 alone.

Baldurs Gate 3 might be worth the price alone, if you're a fantasy geek like me.

Still, though, when all is said and done, when the PS6 does come out, I think people will remember the PS5 as absolutely horrible bang for the buck.
 
I really only care about two Sony franchises - TLOU and Tsushima - so skipping the PS5 has been an easy decision so far.

I expect we'll see Tsushima 2 on the PS5, but it should be late enough in the cycle that I'll just wait and play it on PS6.

It seems highly unlikely we'll see TLOU 3 on PS5.
 


To be clear, these aren’t the same Star Wars: Battlefront games developed by Dice and published by EA in 2015 and 2017. These are the OG entries in the franchise which were originally available on PS2, Xbox, and PC.
 
Going all in on new tech this weekend. In the last few days I've ordered:
  • An Asus ROG laptop with a 4070
  • A g-Sync compatible Dell 27" 1440 monitor with a 165hz refresh rate
  • A cute lil foldable Bluetooth keyboard for use with the docked laptop and the Steam Deck

Dumb question from a dumb guy

1. Can I buy a "gamer" computer monitor and then plug my PS5 and play games on it?

This was the first video game I ever played and finished. I was like 10 and would play under my covers until 4 am.

What an iconic childhood moment.

My ex, who was always so horrible at gifts that I am pretty sure she does it bc she hates me .. actually bought me a copy of this and a gameboy. She spent like $300 on it, it was my money so she didnt care .. probably the point.

Anyway of course the game and game boy dint work and she bought it "on line".

i actually have the game in my office drawer for "that one day"

list of other gifts:

- Haynesworth jersey size XXXXL that had some of the red bleed onto the white stripes so it was effectivelyt pink looking .. spent almost $200 off a guy on the streets of baltimore

- one of those crappy mini tables where you can play pool, ping pong or fooseball but its small and rickety so its unplaybale but like big enough it just takes up a 2' x 6' corner in my basement

- 6 cans of WD40, still have 5 after 10 years

- used dvd of Role Models

- a leather tool belt .. im not a tool belt guy .. maybe I misread and that was a hint at a sex kink

- a foot massager water thing .. im a dude
