I have enjoyed the hell out of Riders Republic. One big issue is that it is cram packed with cosmetics, DLC and “live-service” features. If you’re able to ignore that noise there is a lot of game to love underneath. Of course you can’t really own it, since it’s live-service, but I still feel I got well more than $40 of fun out of it

I’ve played it! It’s more arcade-y than the base game. The maps are small and focused, with more of a focus on the events and curated slopes than exploration. It’s a little clunky IMO, but still very fun.

I think it’s interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.

All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece

It’s also a beautiful game. I would spend hours just zipping around and taking in the scenery. Thanks for the reminder that I need to replay JC3

I hope when it’s released you can turn off the MMO features and play solo. I just want to get high, bomb hills, and watch my dude get all of his bones obliterated like the good ol days. I don’t need some clown decked out in a $100 dinosaur costume telling me I suck ass to heighten the experience.

Red Dead Redemption, when crossing into Mexico for the first time and the sun starts setting and Far Away by Jose Gonzalez starts playing. That shit blew my mind.

the worst are apps that use it as the sole form of authentication
