Well with the release of cfb25 I got a little sentimental for this place. Long time no talk (it's Bdoughty) just in case you forgot me.

Still playing games on the Xbox, have the Series X. Still dealing with the same medical issues, had a relapse last year and was in the hospital for a week. In remission but being forced to stay on immunosuppressants for the rest of my time. Went after my kidneys as it must have been bored of my lungs. Just happy to still be on this Earth.

Have mellowed a lot over the past few years. Hoping you guys will accept me back in the fold.

Enjoying CFB25 on the field. It's not perfect but I went in with pretty low expectations, having purchased Madden every year. It plays fast and All American is much tougher than it used to be. Throwing interceptions galore with the new pass meter and defense is more challenging, compared to All Pro in Madden. Getting older does not hel0.

My younger son and I decided to get Robocop on sale for the PS5 and really like it so far. It's nice to play a simple arcade-style shooter and the slower-paced gameplay is right up my alley. 

College Football 25 is looking really good too. I'm definitely grabbing that when it goes on sale.

Thanks. I'll probably grab the first one on sale to check it out. I'm sure my son would love to play through it again.

My sons and I like the original Arkham games more too. I'm not even sure why they remastered them since they left the frame rate at 30. I didn't realize the Bioshock remasters had issues too. Do the originals run at 60fps? They're not on the FPS Boost list provided by Microsoft.

Arkham and Bioshock games have wierd graphical glitches and don't offer much in the way of performance upgrades. The Mass Effect remaster is done right.

Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer the originals to the remasters?

Forza was never as bad as it was made out to be. It's a good game, and makes a nice companion for Horizon 5. I bought the 360 versions of the Bioshock games when they were dirt cheap. I'll play those instead of the remasters if I return to Rapture.

I just completed one of the oldest titles in my backlog - Bioshock. This was the first game I ever saw on an Xbox 360 when someone I used to work with brought their Xbox 360 into work back when it first released. I was always fascinated by the location and the opening hooked me. I'm glad to have finally played it.

I'm considering Forza Motorsport now that it's 50% off. I think most of the major issues have been fixed.

I finished the GTA 5 main story last night and will probably do some side missions over the weekend. I ended up liking the story more than I expected. It had a sort of "Ocean's Eleven" heist vide to it. I wasn't expecting Franklin to be my favorite character and enjoyed the game the most during the parts when Travis wasn't around. Travis seems to be a popular character among the GTA community, but I found him to be a bit much most of the time.

Both of my sons kept saying how I'm like Michael (still living in the 80's), so now I started calling my older son, whose name is James, Jizzle. James "Jizzle" De Santos provided a ton of comedy relief in the game and is the perfect stereotypical millennial.

I'd give the game an 8.5 out of 10 and would definitely play it again since it only clocked in at 22 hours for me.
