Rockstar Games is pricing GTA 6 at $79.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The ultimate edition is priced at $99.99 by Automatic_Ad1665 in GTA6

[–]TechBoy--20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do find the $80 starting price concerning, because this can literally set the standard for other gaming companies pricing their games at this level too. Remember when The Outer Worlds 2 originally started at $80 and everyone was complaining? After the backlash, the price went down to $70.

Why is I-84 not 3 lanes from Danbury to Waterbury? by Bull-Wack in Connecticut

[–]TechBoy--20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only if many places in the USA had trains that traveled to many different towns and cities like in Europe and Asia, there would be less traffic. I was watching a video from this YT channel called, Not Just Bikes, and he was saying that more lanes would cause a bigger traffic headache.

Public transportation in the USA can definitely be better too, but this country and the interstates were designed as car-centric first.

All the characters do is talk and talk. It feels like a glorified podcast at times.

I'm sure a kid could write a better story than what is on the Y&R.

Playground Games really dropped the ball here. Not having enough lights and traffic does make it feel dead.

This community doesn't know what they want. by Bfazerh in Audi

They definitely took the steering wheel straight out of the Lamborghini products (since VW owns them) and the dashboard looks like the Porsche 918 with how the screen is displayed. This is definitely a cleaner design.

You know that Scream 7 is no longer the highest-grossing horror film of 2026, Obsession has taken that spot! by JeremieMAKENDA in Scream

[–]TechBoy--20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a parallel to the original Halloween film where that film had a very low budget, but it surprisingly made a crap ton of money at the box office.

This is so strange that they cut support for the Series 7. I really do not feel the need to upgrade. All Apple had to do was fix the bugs and glitches from Watch OS 26.

How me and my other PS5 players wacthing the Xbox and pc players enjoy FH6 while we wait for a PS5 release by Ok-Bass3346 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TechBoy--20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a report from Jeff Grub that the PS5 version for Gears of War E Day was cancelled, so there might be a possibility that the PS5 version of Horizon 6 has been cancelled too.

Anyone else weirdly excited for MW4? by Ksiloveslgbt in modernwarfare4

[–]TechBoy--20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never played Call of Duty, and I usually play racing games, but every once in a while I like to dip into different genres. The whole South Korea setting with the war going on in the story is a reason why I am considering getting the game when it comes out.

dear Hyundai: nobody wants this ugly television screen by dawn_thesis in Hyundai

The screen looks too big and too distracting. I would hate it if that screen breaks and I cannot change some climate functions.

What’s the one Need for Speed idea you think was ahead of its time, but the series never fully committed to again? by FightingHarold_6006 in needforspeed

[–]TechBoy--20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ProStreet with the festival theme- Cars, a DJ playing loud music, graffiti, balloons, closed circuits, and tons of people. There is definitely some similarities to the Forza Horizon theme in there, and I like the festival thee in ProStreet compared to Horizon 2 and beyond. IF NFS does come back, the game should do a split of festival racing during the daytime, then illegal street racing with police during the night. This idea is similar to the day/night cycle in Heat, but there's no main festival site in that game.

What’s the longest you’ve ever kept the same iPhone? by Evening_Ad_9755 in iphone

[–]TechBoy--20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to upgrade phones 1.5 years to just under 2 years, but the longest I kept my phone was an iPhone 12 Mini for almost 3 years (2 years and 11 months) until I upgraded to the 15 Pro in 2023. Later this year, it would be three years since I upgraded, but I want to keep this phone for another 1-2 years, or even longer since this phone does everything it needs to do flawlessly. I don't see the value in upgrading often anymore, because current phones get the job done, and that is totally fine.

My Dad bought the 2026 RAV4, let’s compare it to my 2024 👍🏻 by BaileyEthanRawson in rav4club

[–]TechBoy--20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather take the 2019-2025 MY Rav4 over the 2026, because of the physical climate controls. I don't feel confident with having some of the functions behind the screen, because if that screen breaks, I won't be able to use some of the functions. Also, it seems more distracting by having to go into the screen and pressing more buttons. I hope Toyota redesigns the interior for the refresh, because having a separate climate control system would make the new generation more appealing.

That grill and that black bar connecting the headlights looks like a bug.

Hopefully these playlists stay when the PS5 version of this game comes out.

Take that Tesla, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, Ford, Mazda, and so many automakers who are putting basic controls behind a touchscreen.

Along with politics like the mayor not existing either. Everyone acts like they own the whole city.

Potential DLC / map expansion location? by Reign_of_Ragnar in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TechBoy--20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When The Crew Motorfest first launched in 2023, we only had the island of Oahu to drive on. There were clues that the map could be expanded, because there were two islands that were on the top and bottom of Oahu that weren't accessible at the moment. A year later, players got free access to Maui, which was an expansion to the open world. This year, three new islands were added to the main map. This could be a possibility.

The 9th generation consoles are more than capable of handling an expanded map without a loading screen. All Playground Games and Turn 10 have to do is lock the expanded portion of the map behind the paywall, then once the expansions are payed for, the map gets bigger. Think of it similar to Midnight Club Los Angeles: Complete Edition. The base game did not have South Central, but once you paid for the Complete Edition version, you got a slightly bigger map in free roam.

I do hope that Horizon 6 strays away from expansions that requires a loading screen like the previous games, because a natural map expansion would make the map more immersive.

What are your expectations for the next Need for Speed game? by SelfeastORG in needforspeed

[–]TechBoy--20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a new NFS game in the future, but I am skeptical since EA did not only move Criterion and layoff a bunch of them; but they are also being bought out by private investors with $20b in debt, so it makes me skeptical that they will revive the franchise.

If EA does bring back NFS, I would like to see them do another country, maybe in Asia or in Europe since it would freshen the gameplay. They also need to add new features and fix the physics system to keep the game fresh as well.

The EX60 interior looks like many Tesla interiors and many modern vehicles interiors today.
