Get the Crew 2 if you want to explore the open world and go on road trips. But the storyline really sucks. But starting out in California and then driving across the country to Florida with some of your own tunes blaring is an amazing experience.

I played the 2016 need for speed last year and basically ignored the story so I think I'm prepared for this. Ended up completing that game and getting the platinum. Is payback more of a linear racing game? The 2016 need for speed was a little open world even if it was basically one large city

You play a game like The Last Guardian and it's easy to predict that it'll influence a bunch of games, but it's often hard to predict how.

I want to say I put maybe 140 hours in over the course of three months and got nowhere close to beating the game in that time because I was trying to hit everything on every island before moving on. If you combined getting plat with being a completionist and check off everything that isn't autogenerating on every island I could see the game taking 400+ hours to "finish".

E: it's a game I wish I could send back in time to myself when I was a 13 and relied on my mom getting me maybe one game a year, because Odyssey could definitely fill a whole one of those without you needing to start over.

I think it took me 120 hours to plat ac odyssey. Didnt bother with any of the dlc though

I never played Payback, so I can't say. I do own The Crew 1 and 2, and I beat The Crew 1, but the Crew 2 has a really dumb story mode and unnecessary plane and boat stuff tied to it.

From a quick read, Need for Speed Payback is open world.

I have 9 prayer bead bracelets, is it possible to get one more before finishing? am I missing something?

Yeah there’s 10 total, so you need 40, you don’t have any more beads? The few that are tricky to find off the top of my head are:
Behind a sort of hidden door in Ashina castle where all the blue robed dudes are, its an ornate wall that swivels around like the shinobi shortcut that leads back to the dilapidated temple.
One on the way or slightly out of the way going to the Gun Fort (I might be thinking of a gourd seed)
Another one in an area that’s got a bunch of sort of pyramid shaped small statues, it’s near a little pool of water that’s near a headless, this is also on the way to the gun fort..

Also check the box right by the spot Hanbei the Undying is or was, the undead guy that trains you at the dilapidated temple.

Hey so I'm looking for a casual game, most likely an arcade racer to fill out some time between big games.

Need for speed payback is $4

Or is the crew 2 better than that for $12?

You can get Need For Speed Rivals and NFS 2016 (both deluxe editions) for $8. It's not part of any advertised sale, but if you search for it, that's the deal and it's a VERY GOOD DEAL

HBO Max app isn't quite as bad as the HBO Now app. Still has the same awful DNA though and runs slower than any other streaming app.

They have all the Studio Ghibli films on there now tho.

Yeah, I think Sony is afraid that MS will match or undercut their price if they announce first. MS can worry less about the hardware's profit margin if they can expect consistent revenue on gamepass subscriptions from most people who buy an Xbox. That plus the Series X edge on CPU/GPU specs and you have a marketing challenge

The Last of Us Part II is looking extremely visceral in its violence and disturbingness surrounding that, to a point where I feel they're trying to outdo Mortal Kombat as a bet. At least MK didn't meticulously reproduce the wailing of a dog being lit on fire.

I got it for "free" by having an HBO Now sub through Hulu... except none of the content is currently on Hulu. The old HBO Now content is still there and new HBO icon says Max though... it's an extremely classy icon!

Pretty sure what Hulu meant when they said my add-on was upgraded is that I can sign into the Max site\app with my Hulu credentials now, which I wouldn't mind if Roku had a Max app so that I didn't have to use my console to view one specific provider's content. I guess I'm less mad than I am perplexed... and sort of shocked that I'm even shocked, given the fact that this was already a weird freestanding passionless blob of a project that only calls itself HBO because HBO is in there, we all agree that HBO is cool and TimeWarner wants more money.
