As a fan of the Wolfenstein Series and MachineGames, first person is what they do and they do it well. Along with dealing with Nazi's. They got this, can't wait to play it and this is coming from someone that was never a big fan of Indiana Jones movies.

I don't get it. My son and I started watching some reviews of the game last night and we're not seeing what everyone else is seeing.
First of all, I said from the very beginning that it was a mistake to make an Indiana Jones game in first person and the gameplay I've seen so far has not changed my mind. The fact that they have to switch to a third person camera for a lot of scenes proves the entire game should have just been done that way. Also, the third person animations look terrible. My son literally just finished playing the original Xbox version of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and the climbing animations look they were used for Indiana Jones. The worst is when the camera jumps between first and third person views when swinging on your whip.
Based on the review videos I've seen (about 5 so far) the entire game seems like you're sneaking up behind someone and hitting them with a shovel or punching them with ridiculous fighting animations. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous fighting stance with the two fists in front of his face like he's a boxer from 1800's Ireland. The best part is when the enemies start throwing air punches when they're 20 feet away from you.
The whole game just gives me a PS2-era vibe and I'm not remotely impressed. I'll take Uncharted or Tomb Raider over this game any day.

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle hots next week on gamepass (today if you paid for the bonus stuff).
Reviews looking good. Game hits 60fps and stays there. A product that looks actually finished.
Digital Foundry TECH review.

QuoteIndiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the best licensed games we've ever seen - brilliant for Indy fans and enjoyers of great games in general, while packing some excellent technology. Machine Games has indeed 'knocked it out of the park'. In this video, John goes into depth on the Xbox Series X and Series S versions of the game - and our PC review will follow soon.

I've been to and through Liberal so many times in my youth. Had an aunt & uncle and a handful of cousins that lived there until the late 90's. Last time I went through Liberal was probably 2010 or 2015. Ate at a really good Mexican restaurant there before heading on. Can't remember the name though.

Last post by BoomerSooner - December 05, 2024 @ 08:36 PMAll this talk about trains had me laughing earlier. Had to make a drive to Liberal, KS which has two train tracks that you drive over just as you come into town. Not once in ten years have I seen a train. Sure enough as I head into town, we had to sit at a train crossing for ten minutes waiting for a train to roll through. The amount of graffiti on each of the containers was impressive but highly NSFW.

Trainz Xbox screens look good. I just put in a request to join the Beta.

That seems to be the answer for people with space limitations (I'm in that same boat). Apparently lots of people start with N scale layouts using an old door or in as little space as 2'x 5'.I'll have to check that out. I was looking at the Bachmann HO scale sets for the longest time but never pulled the trigger. They seemed to be reasonably priced and had a lot of different sets.
I did have a Lionel oval set track back in the late 90's and early 2000's that I used to setup around my Christmas tree, but my nephew broke it and I never replaced it.
Edit: Just did a quick search on Amazon and Bachmann makes N scale sets too. I really like the small size. You're going to get me into so much trouble with my wife if I buy a set.
I have an Kato N set on the way. Should be here in about a week. I haven't told my wife.

That would be cool. I like to go down to the different rail yards around Seattle and watch the goings on. My wife and I are starting to plan some Amtrak trips which we want to take once we quit working.

We go to Allaire State Park multiple times a year and ride the train there.
We also went to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania back in 2017. I'll post some pics from there.
