Of course.

Always a great sign when a company announces a revised launched day over a year away.

Might as well say 2027 because they are unlikely to hit that end of 2026 date without extending it again.

Hopefully the extra time will allow them to release a finished game. It seems every big game comes out with a lot of bugs and then you hope to get patches released quickly.

I’m just happy the “we got (insert subject) before GTA 6” jokes get to live on across the internet.

Rockstar is going through a bit of controversy right now and I guarantee it had a part in this.

Side note I'm downloading the new Hyrule Warriors game for Switch 2. I've played some Dynasty Warrior games and being a die hard Zelda fan I felt like grabbing it. Seen videos and it looks fun. Probably not worth the price but whatever haha.

Ugh, still have nightmares about the Cyberpunk release.

It's hard to remember the last bad Rockstar game. I'm just glad they have the stones to delay it instead of forcing it out like many companies would.

Lol. THAT is the game I immediately thought of when I wrote my post.

Got Borderlands 4 from Gamefly and decided to throw it in a couple nights ago….just to check it out. Hadn’t really planned on getting into it seriously, but man, it completely sucked me in. It's absolutely great. The open-world map is solid, and there’s loot evvvvvveryyyyywhere. There is also a ton of weapon variants to collect and they all feel really good to shoot. The graphics, even with the cartoony cel-shaded look, are crisp and really well done.

I've only uncovered a small section so far, but the map appears huge, with lots of areas to explore and plenty of things to do. The only minor downside I’ve noticed is that enemies respawn pretty quickly. I cleared out a giant building during a mission, and by the time I was leaving and heading out the way I came, they were back. It doesn’t ruin the game (you can always just roll through past them) but it does take away a bit of that “I just conquered this place” satisfaction.

Otherwise, it’s great so far. I’m having a blast and seriously contemplating just buying it.

Loving The Outer World's 2 so far. The most Fallout: New Vegas game they've made since they made New Vegas haha.

It's super fun. Some crazy shenanigans depending on choices. Weapons are nuts with certain perks. I was a sucker and kept Game Pass for this and Black Ops 7.

You're going to laugh but I was looking at some of my old purchases on PS, and took out Madden 17. That was the Dak/Zeke rookie year. Started playing it again to have the season and dynasty we deserved. LOL. Disappointed though to find out EA has cut off support for their old Maddens, had to edit the roster quite a bit. Such a rip. Hard to go back in time with the current games, or the past games. They are all about one season and a $100 ultra edition every year. And honestly, I don't play Madden much these ays, but playing the game from almost 10 years ago, almost felt like playing today's version. Even though I had to sit through 30 minutes of all their great new features they added to improve that year's version.

Is it better now?

Is it better now?

Yes, it is a fantastic game.

Its become one of the the GOAT's

If you play with no memory of the disastrous launch, you will probably come away thinking its better than Witcher 3

Cyberpunk 2077? Been thinking about buying it.
