Who knew I'd have to unbury this thread.

Any MLB the Show players? Couple days till release. I'm pumped.

Also, any one on Battlefield 1 PS4?

Definitely a "The Show" player...although I typically just do the Road to the Show portion of the game....I think I'm on about season 2026

RTTS has gotten a big content boost this year. Follows your player documentary style. New animations n such.

I just finished Skyrim, and while I loved it, it doesn't really end as much as go "thanks for that, see you later". If I'd known the last battle was the last battle, I'd have probably paid more attention to it.

I like video games but unfortunately have not much time for playing. So when I have short work breaks I play on http://www.friv4online.com/ . The best way to kill time.

I guess I need to start a new guy. I've continued from 2016 and there's been some kind of glitch, I was playing the Oakland A's and my guy was on that team as well as me playing on the White Sox!

I felt that way about GTA San Andreas. I knew the last mission was definitely a bit longer than the previous ones but when the credits started rolling I was confused for a minute and just stared at them trying to process that it was actually the end of the game. I have enjoyed the story lines of each GTA game (Vice City was the first I played) that I was legitimately sad when I finished San Andreas and V. I don't enjoy the randomly running around and causing havoc as I used to but I have had a great time with the missions in the story line. I guess that's another sign that I'm getting old. Random violence without a purpose just isn't enjoyable to me anymore. I did create some carnage in Vice City in my younger days however.

GTA/Skyrim/Fallout/Red Dead Redemption and that ilk are my favorite kind of game. Have never finished any of the main missions on them.

Not finishing Red Dead Redemption makes you a bad person. The ending is amazing.

Digital Foundry has revealed the specs for the upcoming Xbox mid-gen refresh. It looking like a much better upgrade than the PS4 Pro. Now we just need a price.

Does anybody have any experience with the Nintendo Switch? I've had two XBox's just break down on me so I'm not buying another one of those and with not being a hardcore gamer by any means, the Switch seems like it might be something that interests me.

What I really want is just to be able to buy all of the earlier Nintendo games that I loved and can still play over and over and being portable so I can take it with me would be the perfect combination. The Mario Kart and Super Bomberman games they have available already are very interesting to me and I think I'd play the heck out of them. What about some of the other classics, do they have any plans to release vintage games? The other thing that I'm fed up with regarding XBox and Play Station is the fact that the games are never just good to go right out of the package anymore. I swear that every game I bought for the XBox required me to wait for big downloads before I could even play and constantly required updates just to keep playing them. With the cartridges for Switch and being Nintendo with the idea of the system being portable, is that less likely to occur?
