Anyone have any recommendations on a 32"+ ultrawide 144hz 2k monitor? Got a nice surprise at work (a 2nd, unexpected bonus) and I want to splurge on a nice monitor to go with the new build.

Got my boys stadia for Christmas, set it up before wrapping it so they can just start playing.

It's a pretty slick device and seems like games are starting to come in for it more

Ah yes, I've always wanted to store greasy chicken alongside my expensive electronics. What a wonderful pair :lol:

I know a few of you guys here picked up Immortals Fenyx Rising, good impressions? It's $40 on the playstation store and thinking of picking it up.

I think it might have been a waste of $40.

Just started Act 2 in Cyberpunk...holy moly this game is ****ing awesome. I've been fortunate to have minimal bugs too, a few graphical issues but nothing game breaking.

I have not been able to play the past few days, but I absolutely love it so far. It's an Ubisoft game, but with an actually realistic end point (it's like 30 hours, supposedly), no fetch quests, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I plan to play it extensively the next week or so.

I'm going to hold off for now, it'll be on sale until 1/9. Would love to hear more impressions once you've played a bit longer.

One thing that colors my thoughts on the game: I genuinely hate puzzles in my games. So when I come upon a chest with gear and I have to make even the smallest effort to complete a puzzle I lose interest. So I think this game might just not have been for me from the start.

Sounds like you would’ve hated Breath of the Wild. From what I’ve heard it’s very similar to that.

Gonna see if I received any games for Christmas/my birthday, but I might end up picking up a couple of the PS games on this sale that ends on the 19th. Might get my Aussie football on with AFL Evolution 2 and pick up the PGA 2K game.

I didn't get nearly as much mileage from BotW as others, but I did like everything outside of the puzzles a lot. Didn't finish it but I bet I've put 30-40 hours into it.

Name the game:

Wow, that was a good story for a video game.

Oh, it's still going...

Oh, it's still going...

Damn, it's still going?

Yo, WTF?

I only played about 10 hours of the first one and quit, kept failing a stupid stealth mission. Have a buddy who's playing part 2 and said it's good but a really long game.

Haha this sounds exactly like my experience with it. Kept failing an earlier stealth mission, got bored and never played it again.
