can this game stop spawning traffic cars in my fucking face every time I’m racing in multiplayer!?

A lot of people say: “The FIRST NFS Most Wanted was better” or that this is simply not a good game.
However, i strongly disagree (and i think many negative reviews on this game are much too critical), i first played this game on the PS3 in 2013 and i played it so much for the next few years. Then a long time later i see it is on sale on the steam store and i decide to re-buy it. It did not disappoint, it was just as good as i remembered it. For a game made in 2012, it’s great and it’s graphics are still good by today’s standards.

Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered
HIT CHARACTER LIMIT, VIEW THE COMMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE GAME
This was an interesting review to write. On one hand, it’s an extremely fun game to sink a lot of time into. On the other hand, it’s basically a re-release of a game, not a remaster. The game itself when it was released in 2010 was really fun. I really enjoyed it (although I’m still not a huge fan of the very heavy steering that the game supplies) for its really fun gamemodes online, good graphics, great car list, and the really good tactical nature of most of the online stuff. It’s also immensely satisfying when you do get a really good run through a series of corners at top speed and shaving off that extra fraction of a second when grinding for good times on all the single player events. Likewise, it’s also hugely satisfying to release that perfectly timed spike strip to catch one of your enemies off guard, allowing for your teammates to move in to take them out of the game.

For reference, I bought the 2010 “Limited Edition” version of this game’s original release for PS3 pretty much as soon as it was available. I played through all of its DLCs, too. Is this remaster a faithful recreation of everything from that version of the game? Pretty much, yeah.
I understand that a few cars were removed for the remaster. However, from what I’ve read online, the Carbon Motors E7 was removed because Carbon Motors no longer exists as a company, and the two Mercedes SLR McLarens(Mercedes McLaren 722 Edition and Mercedes McLaren Sterling Moss) due to Mercedes selling off their stake in McLaren starting back in 2009 and not completing until 2011(after the original NFS:HP 2010 release).

Crash Drive 2
Hello,
My name is PIG! Let me tell you why CD2 is easily, my most favorite game. Most people think the game is over after they achieve 100% game progress. In my opinion, that’s when it really begins. I’ve been playing for several years now, and I’m still learning new things each time I play.
All vehicles have their own uniqueness, or personality. With 30 vehicles to choose from, it is very easy to find one that fits my style of play, if not several. What’s most impressive, is how well the vehicles and terrain work together. They both compliment the other very nicely. The controls are very simple, so children can easily master any vehicle. The complexity of the terrian, and physics of the vehicles, make the game very fun. I have the choice of 4 maps, with lots of hills, ramps, loops, and events. Aside from the main focus of game play, there are hidden locations, and secret ways of getting on top of the rock walls, loops, and structures. I can be as competitive, or as laid back as I want to be.

You know when Keanu Reeves always says “whoa”? I think he must have been looking at an early copy of this game.
I had no idea what to expect when I threw this in my cart just to raise my order level a couple of bucks. I love racing games; and the description sounded good. The idea of it being multi-player with random events almost turned me off; mostly because I think online multi-player does nothing but bring up the worst possible players in games…not to mention I wasn’t worried about doing anything but driving cars.

Ice Lakes
When it comes to pure Ice Fishing glory, the most realistic and fun ice fishing game out there is Ice Lakes. Being Canadian and a Fish/Wildlife Management graduate, I’ve done LOTS of fishing on icy Canadian lakes and rivers. This is the next best thing without being at the mercy of Mother Nature. This game is surely even better if you’re capable of obtaining a VR set. I unfortunately do not have one, but still enjoy the game very much as is.
There’s no cash store, so when you buy the game, you start off the same way as anyone else who starts playing the game. There’s no ‘god mode’ fishing gear sets to buy, or special fishing areas to unlock with real cash.

non-ironically the game that I enjoyed the most, even though I don’t have many hours
it’s not the game that is great, but all the stories you develop with your friends while you’re playing it
I mean, I enjoy the game, it doesn’t have much content, but it surely is very rewarding
but hear me out
when you play this game with your friends, it’s like everyone is reunited in person, there in the ice, chilling and fishing
you don’t have much action, you’re waiting for the fish, and you all start talking about random things you saw on reddit, something that happened at school/work or whatever, one thing leading to another, until you don’t even remember how the conversation began

RIDE 3
First Person Pilot
I was hoping this game would exceed Ride 2. Best Roadracing motorcycle game in my opinion. IT DIDN’T!
Cons:
1. The cockpit (first person view) is messed up. Feels like you are riding too far back and up like pushing a wheelbarrow (needs a more racier tuck). Second first person option is better but blurrier (far worse than Ride 2 first person view). You can’t even see the gauges properly (triple tree in the way on some bikes).
2. Anti-wheelie is a joke even turned off. Ride 2 you could power wheelie with just the throttle on the liter bikes coming over a rise in 3rd gear. Ride 3 you have to lean back. Even then it don’t work past 1st gear on most of the bikes.

As someone who has had this game since a few days after release, I’ve genuinely enjoyed the game and have gotten lots of hours out of this game. I’ve also bought all the downloadable content and I still have stuff to do. The game has a nice selection of bikes and great graphics. They put some triple A titles to shame with such graphics. Ride 3 also has an awesome bike customization feature and can make some bikes really feel like they’re your bike. They also have a bunch of gear, such as helmets, pants, jackets, complete race suits and different animations for your riders style.

Destiny 2
I hate this game, I play it all the time.

Bungie are constantly forcing their woke agenda in to the game, they will clamp down hard on anyone who disagrees with their woke agenda. They also charge you for content then take it out of the game. This is not a free to play game, its just free to start. The game is a rip off. Do not buy DLC, it will only get taken away

Halo Infinite
Foundation of the game is really solid, the core combat loops are really fun. With a few balancing patches I think the combat will be very tight and focused.
There are far too many issues I have with this game in its current state to justify playing it for very long.
Performance, seems to run like garbage on most PCs, especially if you’re trying to run it at a smooth 100+ frames. I have a 2070 Super and an i7 7700k, I can barely keep this game over 100 frames on Low Settings.
EDIT: A lot of people in the comments saying that it runs fine for them, that’s great. What I’m saying is that i shouldn’t have to set my settings on Low and make sure the minimum fps and maximum fps are tuned properly, something is clearly broken. My rig can run games, games much prettier and more demanding than this. With Halo games specifically, I’m very used to playing with an unwavering 165 fps and this is simply not possible in Infinite. This game is F2P which means it should be optimized for a wide variety of different hardware in order to retain the largest audience, I don’t see the game succeeding in that goal with the current optimization issues.

the best and worst halo pvp i’ve ever played. the gameplay loop is amazing, everything feels impactful, the maps are incredible, movement is snappy, its pure halo at its best, a perfect blend of what made the classics ageless and new ideas. i would love to tell everyone i know to play this game.
but i can’t. what 343 has done to revitalize halo is incredible but for every good thing they’ve done with the gameplay there are two bad things done to the overall experience to make it suck. the battle pass is HORRENDOUS, it’s leagues worse than its competitors. the grind is so slow, ive literally played for 48 hours and i havent even gotten a fourth of the way through the battle pass yet. we had to bully them into adding per match xp and since there’s no traditional performance based xp rewards it means theres literally no incentive to play objectives and actually try to win, which means matches are filled with doofuses who dont care about either of those things. most matches are filled with people ignoring the objective to try to grind whatever challenges they have on their weeklies since its literally the only way to get a decent amount of xp, leading to frustrating matches where nobody is playing seriously and nothing gets done, or you get beat down because the enemy team is playing to win and yours isnt.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
TL;DR: A fun, yet disappointing game with a questionable future that at the end of the day does disservice to both Marvel and Capcom brands.
The Marvel vs. Capcom series is one that I hold dear in my heart. And this game’s gameplay is a deserving continuation of that series' tradition of fun, frantic and chaotic fighters with immense depth.
Unfortunately it would be remiss of me to recommend this game in its current form, at its current price, even with the current discount at the time of this writing. The game just simply doesn’t have anything besides its gameplay, with a lacklustre cast of characters mostly imported from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, tremendously disappointing and at times just plain ugly graphics that pale in most regards with its predecessor, mediocre soundtrack with a complete disregard to the series' legacy and some remixes that are… not good and questionable at best UX decisions, with menus that appear to be placeholders and yet still somehow manage to cause lag.

Don’t waste your money on this game. It’s already discounted for 33% off because of poor sales; but if you want the full game you’ll need to drop a ridiculous amount of money on DLC anyway, so what the discount actually saves you is closer to 2%.
Gameplay:
The game is actually pretty fun. They dumbed down some of the controls from previous installments, but it adds a new instant tag out system and still boasts an extraordinary amount of depth. Unfortunately, not all of the new inclusions are as fun in higher level play.

NBA 2K19
-
Tear Dropper is hands down the most useless badge in the game
-
Light contested layups are going in at a better rate than open layups
-
Your chances of hitting shots increase as you move further away from the rim
-
Players are being heavily penalized for not being able to time millisecond timing windows on inside shots with multiple animations that trigger randomly
-
Midrange jumpers having a lower timing window than 3pt jumpers
-
The most valuable shot in the game is the most reliable shot, the quickest field goal attempt, and the shot that requires the least amount of space to get off (3ball)

Update: after a bazillion hours in on this game (where I only care about MyCareer mode - looking for some escapist fun) I get my player to level 90. I have maxed out the mid-range dead eye badge and for mysterious reasons, the game now tanks my player performance across the board. It played more fun as a 70 ovr player. I had games scoring 20-30 points with a handsome amount of assists and rebounds but now I can’t sink any shots, no matter how good my look or how full my shot meter. In-game, it never gives me green but I still manage to fill the shot meter damn near perfectly. And even with a character whose supposed to be about as deadly a mid-range shooter as ever existed … I get abso-frickin-lutely nothing. I have never been so angry at a video game as when it turned on me like this. Don’t buy this thing if you thought you’d have fun with MyCareer. It is just awful.

Star Control®: Origins
I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.
You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?
You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.
There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]
=========================================
I have bought the game myself and completed it.
Let’s list all the positives first:
-
Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.
-
Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.
-
Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.
