Especially love the Hollywood Mogul news. Have loved Carey's work for years and I'm thrilled this project is back on. It was so disappointing a few years back when he was trying to get 4 done and the project stalled. Hopefully this time he can pull it together this time.</p><p> </p><p> Film Studio Tycoon looks like it could be a solid game as well but I can't say I'm crazy about having authentic talent available from the start. I don't watch a lot of new movies in the real world. So I don't know current actors and actresses that well. Where if you had fictional talent, it's easier to mold those people to your will and be bolder with your choices. Regardless it does look it it could be a solid game.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone else has thoughts on Fallout 76. I have a feeling that I am not going to like it simply because it is an online only game. I like playing alone, I am not a fan of playing online because I do not want other people messing with me when I am trying to enjoy the game. Now I do understand that you can play this game alone but other real life players will still be part of your game no matter what. </p><p> </p><p>

I think I am going to hold off getting this one as it does not appeal to me. I will just go back to playing Fallout 4.</p>

[Blackman]

<p>My E3 highlights so far are:</p><p> </p><p>

- Cyberpunk 2077</p><p>

- Tomb Raider "3"</p><p>

- Resident Evil 2 Remake</p><p> </p><p>

Those are really the only ones I care for. Sure, I'd LOVE a TES6, but when will that come? 2022? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I want to like Fallout 76 but haven't played 4 at all and barely NV so I'll pass. Like BHK I dislike online-only games as it forces you to interact with goofballs and other annoying people. The whole idea that MS uttered about connectivity is a load of BS. I 'connect' with people irl a lot. I don't need them in my games, especially if I can't select which ones to interact with.</p><p> </p><p>

Also very impressed with Last of Us 2 but alas it's not for me to buy. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

From everything I have read that is one of the most toxic gaming community out there and they love to screw with people.

There are a ton of people who did not like it so I am not sure if they are the majority or the vocal minority. Either way there is a portion of the core audience of the game that probably did not want a new one due to their dislike of the fourth one.</p>

NMS debuts on Xbox this week as well.

[Wrestling Century]

Is NMS finally worth it now? It's on sale for around thirty bucks on PSN right now, but I don't know after the bad publicity it got. Has it really improved that much since release?

[milamber]

I always liked No Man's Sky and it's only gotten better with each update. I've logged in over 500 hours, restarting with each update. A lot has changed since Day 1. Personally, I would wait another month or 2 until the current version has been bug-fixed.

So is there even anything on the Xbox NMS disk? It only installed 140mb and then it started loading 8gb from the internet.

[Clarity]

<p>I've been playing a bit of NMS on XB1.. Its grindy but fun.. I'm tempted to restart though having learnt a lot on run number 1</p><p> </p><p>

Anyone want me to join them, add me (Jizmochan)</p>

[ThriceP86]

<p>I've never played any of the Far Cry series before but I'm really enjoying Far Cry 5 and the Montana setting. The story is interesting too with the crazy cult family. The only complaint I have so far is the Bliss drug is annoying when trying to complete Faith's region. Other than that, I'm totally addicted to this game. Anyone else into this series? I'm aware that Far Cry 3 is considered the best in the series and since previous Far Cry games are on sale now, I think I'll definitely get it.</p><p> </p><p>

And of all people that got me interested in this game it was my niece! Her and I have shared experience with being in Amway together for a couple years and being a part of a cult atmosphere there.</p>

[Blackman]

I just got Farcry 4 for 3 bucks in a store bargain bin for 360 but I'm not that into it, though I recognize it's a great game. Just not my cup of tea. Only did a couple of missions though. I'm more into a fantasy setting I guess or at least a less gun-filled world. That being said: I did complete Fallout3, but that was just too much fun.
