Went ahead and purchased Crimson Desert.  It's a little slow at the start, but interesting enough that I'm continuing on.  My initial quick impressions is that it's open world type gaming most similar to RDR2 but it's fantasy hack and slash. The combat so far is not impressive, but it's apparently skill based so that more moves and combos open up as you level.

Review for this are very good. I'm definitely going to pick this up once it goes on sale.

I thought they completely ripped off Formula Legends, even the HUD, but it's apparently been out on PC for a while.

So is this a new title separate from the iRacing subscription service?

Edit:  Just watched the video and I guess it is completely different.  Looks like they're recognizing there is an audience for Formula Legends type racing.  Looks pretty good.

Been thinking of purchasing Crimson Desert.  The only thing holding me back is do I really want to play another open world game?

Since I got back from my trip helping my dad I've been rotating with Run8 (train sim), playing that online on The Hiball server.  Also, Ostranauts, Dwarf Fortress, Proto Boxing (I really like this title and am excited to see what the dev does with it), Railroader, and a bit of Belwright and Total War Medieval II with the M2EX mod.  A little of a lot I guess.  Nothing has been holding my attention very long, hence the thought of grabbing Crimson Desert.

I need to get back into Full Stride, but am sort of waiting for the next update which is supposed to add harder difficulty levels.

Another AAA game I'm looking forward to is the new Gears of War game. I watched the GTA VI reveal and thought it looked good, but I wasn't blown away by it.

I've also started buying games on Xbox again. The Series S and X were my first consoles this generation, so naturally I bought current gen games for them. Even after I bought my PS5 I still bought third-party games for Xbox since I preferred the controller and console user interface, but about a year ago I made the switch to buying everything on PS5. Xbox looked like it was dead in the water and I had my doubts about them releasing a next-gen console, and even if they did it would be expensive and all of their popular games would be ported to the PS5/6.

Microsoft has seemed to turn things around since Asha Sharma took over. I doubt I'm going to buy a next-gen console, but if I did it would probably be an Xbox at this point. Two big factors are the disc-to-digital program Xbox is going to roll out soon and its compatibility with PCs. I've been completely digital for over a decade, but the disc-to-digital program might get me to buy some physical games again.

I can live without another Last of Us remake and don't have much interest in anything new Naughty Dog is working on. Most PS6 games will be available on the PS5 for the foreseeable future anyway. I can live with 1440 @ 60fps instead of full 4K @ 120fps. The Neo Geo retro games I've been buying lately will work fine on my PS4.

I'll probably pick this up. It's made by the developers of Circuit Superstars.

Yes, I have about 20 games in my GoG library and when I'm looking to add a retro game I often check there because the sales are good too.  Currently eyeballing European Air War for 6.99

Have you ever purchased games from GOG? I like the idea of buying digital games with no DRM and it's not because I want to pirate them, I like that I actually own them.
