Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

I put probably over 1500 hours into the 1st game, 10 years and who knows how many hours into D2 and about a ton into 3 despite it being the most boring.

I'm sure I'll be playing it on and off, nothing like the experience tbh in this genre.

part of me wants to play it. Who knows, I might end up doing a 180 on launch day and say **** it lol, wouldn't be the first time.

I played the Beta and enjoyed it. I'll be playing it on opening day but I didn't pay extra to play it now.

I don't blame you, I couldn't resist and upgraded today. I have the day off so I'll enjoy it before a tough week ahead.

I'm still 50/50 on it. I won't be buying it for launch.

I want to like the game more than i actually do. I go down the list of features and it checks all the boxes that i typically look for in a game.

But the bit of Beta i played i was just....meh on it. And i dont really know why.

Graphics might be too gritty and not enough color, rest of it looks pretty amazing.

playing SMB4. i think the EGO is out of whack or Elite pitches are very OP. I played SMB3 at 69 EGO and that would be challenging. Im playing SMB4 at 69 EGO and am winning in blow outs.

in my first 3 exhibition games, I pitched 2 complete game shut outs, and a complete game with 16 K.

I had similar start as well (didnt allow a run the first 3 or 4 games).......now I'm struggling as others have caught up.

I'm about 65-60 EGO range as well, but now I'm struggling to get hits, and I think I've only hit one home run (though I never use the analog stick for a power swing).

Pitches are much much faster in this version, and I find a lot of players (myself included) swinging at bad pitches.

Side note: when picking a team last night, I saw Willie Wilson was on one of the rosters!

i played another 3 games. Ive figured out that the pitchers that have high velocity, an elite pitch, and the K collector stat are OP. Randy Johnson can throw a 98 mph slider if he catches fire and you time the power pitch perfectly when he has 2 strikes. I managed to throw a 97mph slider in the 8th inning. so the elite pitch has its velocity preserved too. Randys 4F dropped to 99mph (down from 104) in the 8th.
