PGD Lounge - The No Fuss, No Mess Edition

This is a clean slate for everyone, including me. Sorry if I got angry before. Hope we can forgive and forget what happened previously. Keep it clean, keep it friendly, and we'll be good.

What's up with everyone for the time being?

Edit: This is my third time making the PGD Lounge thread. Next time, someone else will have the pleasure of creating one. Enjoy! :)

Well, so much for letting someone else have a crack at this. Oh well. Maybe next time, folks.

Cards Against Humanity is in my order! Yes!Yagr_Zero

Does it matter who creates the thread...?

Not really. Just like to make sure others get a chance to make it so as not to place responsibility solely on one individual.

Actually, I am taking a break from gaming for the next couple of days to prepare for a couple of tests. I'm taking summer classes.

Any word on when the lollipop chainsaw review goes up?

Dirt Showdown review in the books, going forward with Blades of Time, then previews (and Lollipop Chainsaw probably).Daavpuke

Love racers. Burnout 3 is probably my all-time favorite racing title since it was just absurd fun. And FAST. 200 mph w/boost really felt like 200mph in Takedown. I played a lot of NFS when I was younger, espcially Hot Pursuit 2 and Most Wanted which where my faves there. New Most Wanted looks cool, but Criterion are fantastic devs so that's not a surprise.

This gen, I'd go with Forza 4 and Burnout Paradise as my favorite racers, but I have enjoyed DiRT 3 and Criterion's Hot Pursuit very much. All of those are really good titles.

Anyone into racers? I used to play racing games when I was younger like Burnout 2 and Burnout 3, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Need For Speed: Underground/Underground 2, etc but I stopped. Looking at some of the racing games this generation, it seems like Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) and Forza 4 are the top ones -- that new one coming out looks neat, so does Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Anyone know which are the best? I have PGR3, but I've barely played it lol.Haziqonfire

it still kinda looked the same to me, but they added in an E3 thing on there, so that's kinda throwing me off a bit

The E3 thing has been there since E3 week.

Anyway, don't think it's updated yet. No posts on the PlayStation Blog about it yet.

really? shows much how i visited that store in awhile

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Seems like the two I was looking at are the most popular here. I'm thinking of holding off till the new NFS - NFS: Most Wanted, maybe I'll just pick that up or Forza Horizon.ExoticAnimal

Don't do that, GT5 was a massive flop. Six years of waiting for a game where there's something like 100 Nissans and 12 Ferraris, where 80% of the cars don't have an interior view and look like they've come straight out of the PS2.

Anyway, if you are willing to wait, wait for the new NFS Most Wanted, or Forza Horizon. If you're not willing to wait, then get Forza 4 (sim), or DiRT 3 (arcade).

Bah. Forget all those. Just get Burnout 3: Takedown and be set for life.

Takedown was a very good game, but Forza 4 is easily the best racer of the gen, IMO.

I love both genres equally. When I said a flop, I meant (this probably wasn't obvious) the quality of the game just didn't meet many people's (including myself) expectations after we waited for the best part of a generation.

I don't think I've ever seen this in a videogame, but I love how the monsters react and move in Dragon's Dogma. The wolves, for example, can be frustrating when they jump back to avoid one of your sword swipes, but I enjoy the refreshing AI for a change.

Unfortunately I don't have a PS3, only a Wii and a 360 so GT5 is out of the question lol.Haziqonfire

Wasn't Rad Racer an old NES racing game? If I remember correctly, it was developed by Square.

Indeed. Was one of the few games that used their crazy 3D tech.

That was one of the reasons I bought a Wii a long time ago - the VC had a great selection of classics to buy and play at anytime. Like Super Mario Kart. :D I still have memories of getting beaten by friends and family with that red shell, which we came to call it as "The Terminator" shell.

"No Mess", huh? Well today I was trying to clean up a mess I had and I've now accidentally cracked my Mario Galaxy 2 disc. Fell victim to some overturned objects. *sob*

... On the bright side, I did finish Forza 4's career event list today, and I've been playing since the release date in October.

Sounds like you must be excited about the upcoming Forza Horizon, eh? :)

At first I did'nt know what to really think about it, but now that I know that the physics are at least somewhat based on FM and the game itself is open world ala Burnout Paradise, I'll most likely get it. I think T10 and Playground are doing the right thing by introducing new things while still retaining alot of the stuff you expect from the main games.
