@Anti-Matter There's a billboard on top of the building from FORZA. The image is funny because normally you hit the building to get the board.

What about the lady that eats live seafood.

@Eagly That's really messed up

@Eagly Oh no, they do know the difference. Actually, I'm not even sure how they knew I wanted it in the first place as it wasn't in the Christmas list, I emailed to them. I guess maybe they just heard me talking about its if that's the case I probably just said Tales of Vesperia instead.
Also, that eating a bat thing is messed up, I guess some people don't care as long as they get their 5 seconds of fame.

I love that image, cause I'm a big fan of Forza Horizon 4.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
I personally never like any realistic racing games. They are boring, what is so fun to drive a car as smooth as possible without drama ?
I only play Mario Kart style games such as Mario Kart games, Race with Ryan, Team Sonic Racing, Modnation Racers, etc since they are cartoonish racing games with items to smack on opponents and I prefer cartoonish graphic over than ultra realistic graphics. And that's why you will not find Forza, Gran Turismo, Initial D, any realistic racing games from my games collection if you remembered from my games collection photos I posted here.

I would just keep it and at some point trade it in. You can always buy the Switch version with money you get for Christmas. You don't want to hurt their feelings nor lose their trust by snooping. I can't remember how many bad games I got as a kid at Christmas or birthdays cause my parents didn't have a clue, but they always meant well.

True store every birthday, Christmas my Grandma would get me one of those Tiger electronic handhelds because she knew my brother and I liked video games but didn't know anything about video games. We usually played them once then throw them in a dresser drawer never to touch them again. It wasn't till we were adults that we ended up giving them all to Goodwill.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Me too

@Tasuki That's probably good advice. That said it has a really low trade-in value.

@Anti-Matter Forza is way different from a sim racer.

In Forza 3 (and 5) you can race on a giant Hot Wheels track. In 4 you can race against Trains, Planes and Lego cars, and even go to a Lego world.

Also what racing game let's you drive a Peel p50 and make it look like a police car.

Been on a Xenoblade grind lately. Started what could be my… 8th or 9th Xenoblade 1 save file. I’m surprised how well it holds up despite having came out in 2010. As much as I love 3, 1 has this streamlinedness to it.

@TheJGG Yeah, I also started a new game in Xenoblade: DE. Although I got a bit of burn-out because I was doing every quest, I'm currently at Frontier Village and will probably get back to it tomorrow. Who's in your party?

@Kermit1
But alas, I don't play XBOX ONE and Series X games. XBOX is literally have no games I want to buy as the majority 3rd party games are exactly same as PS4 / PS5 version so I can build my PS4 / PS5 games library instead.
I prefer cartoonish racing games than ultra realistic racing games.
And for my PS5 games, I have considered Paw Patrol Grand Prix and Animal Kart Racers for my cartoonish racing games.

@Anti-Matter To each his own.

My brother is a HUGE Xbox fan, I've never played or touched a PlayStation in my life.

@Kermit1
I'm the opposite.
I have never played XBOX games before.
The only XBOX games I have are Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 1 - 3 on XBOX (still looking for DDR Ultramix 4 to complete the series), Dance Dance Revolution UNIVERSE 1 & 3 XBOX 360 (still looking for DDR UNIVERSE 2 to complete the series) and some Kinect XBOX 360 games. Funny thing, I still don't have XBOX machine yet but already have the games.

PlayStation was my teenhood video game when I was 14 years old in year 1998. I got introduced by Magical Drop 3, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix, Harvest Moon Back to Nature, Pepsiman, Punky Skunk, Magical Tetris featuring Disney, DDR Disney Rave, Chocobo Racing, Chocobo Mystery Dungeon 2, Monster Rancher 2, etc.

Currently, I have a lot of PlayStation games collection after I grew up and could purchase video games by my own money.
I have PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, PSP games and my hype is currently on PS4 games.
I can say PS2 have better games library and diversity than XBOX games even PS2 was the weakest compared with Gamecube and XBOX.
PS2 have the most rhythm games by Konami, Kickboxing games K-1, Bomberman games, the signature PS2 games I like the most.

@TeaCatherine yeah that’s what I found the most challenging every time I start a new save, most of the side quests are boring fetch or kill quests. Frontier Village and Alcamoth are particularly guilty of this.

Party wise I’m still on Shulk/Reyn but usually my go-to party is Melia/Sharla/Reyn. Love playing as Melia, her play style is very unique due to her control over ether. Sharla too, though her cool-down talent art is quite lame. What’s your party like?

@TheJGG Recently I tried playing as Melia and I just can't get myself to like playing as her, any tips for that? Personally, my favourite to play as is Dunban, I've heard Shulk and Melia don't have very good AIs, so it's normally Dunban, Sharla and Reyn. I don't really use elaborate setups or anything.

@Eagly
Thanks, we nearly had a faster run today, but I missed my dally ( basically wrapping your rope around the saddle horn before you turn the steer). I had a good calf run though.

@Eagly Sorry, it's just the idea of being without a healer has always offended me. Okay I'll try swapping out Sharla for Melia and giving Reyn some Agility gems. Any other advice?

@Fizza Hi there, hope you're doing well. Me and @lostsocks are thinking of playing Mario Party 2 online tonight, at about 9:15 PM EST. Do you wanna join us, or is that time a bit late for you? I can send you an invite via the N64 NSO app.
