In-and-Out burgers are pretty good. Their burgers aren't gonna blow you away, but they are worth a try.

The worst part of their menu are the French Fries. Someone mentioned on this forum that you have to order the fries "medium well done." If you don't, the fries are very undercooked.

Again, their burgers are pretty decent, just not the best fast food burger I've ever had.

I do like In and Out but definitely feel like it's super overrated as well. I just moved back to the east coast from the west coast and see the east also has Five Guys which is so much better than In & Out. Plus, Five Guys out west at least usually wasn't nearly as busy yet In & Out always had a huge line of cars pretty much no matter the time of day. But, am not going to argue if they want to move out to the east. I usually got a cheeseburger "Monster Style" and fries "light well",

Glad Blizz still knows how to make a good Diablo game, wasn't a fan of D3. Loving it so far, enough to warrant throwing down the $70, I know that $70 will go longer and further than some other games (ahem, Destiny 2).

I really did not like Deathloop, I mean I got 20 hours out of it - so I liked it to some degree but I just feel like Bethesda is taking Arkane down the wrong road.
They could be making big RPGs instead of these smaller scale tweeny coop shooters.... Arkane also worked on a Wolfenstein coop thing that was absolutely hammered in the Steam reviews before Deathloop even came out. I just don't understand why Bethesda keeps forcing them into this shit.

Same. I wonder if they fixed the game up at all? I tried to play it again a couple of years ago but got to around the same point that I stopped the previous time due to several broken quests and the combat was annoying. I really enjoyed the world and exploring narrow forest trails though, it looked fantastic and was really immersive when things were working/flowing.

Honestly this is why I hate saying anything bad about games. For the entertainment experiences we love I'm sure there is a great deal of misery behind the scenes.

Work usually sucks; I'd imagine making games to be insanely stressful. And then it ships and the insanity starts all over again.

Mortismal gaming has 100% the game, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyglDNgKYDc
His steam profile shows it took him 60 hours

as for denuvo and such, the people that crack software do buy their copies. They may even refund them after copying the files. Honest people may feel they get "punished" but IMO that is a small price to pay to help others make the right choice. Like others chime in here, you can always wait a few years until it reaches $9.

I really f'in hate Denuvo. I was recently reminded of that when my internet went down for days for no apparent reason and couldn't play anything but Baba Is You or Dwarf Fortress. Games these days... you spend $60, don't own the game so can't resell it and can't even play them offline. I really wanted to play some RRD2 while the net was down, it makes no sense that I'd have to log in to play the single-player game. I have some other non-gaming types of software that require serials and logins but could use those offline as long as I logged into the software with an internet connection within 6 months.

There are already quite a few Steam reviews for Hogwart's with over 100+ hours and 850 of those reviews with over 50 hours. A lot of the "official" reviews I read/watched only had like 20-30 hours in the game when they "reviewed".

I guess 2023 is going to be the year of Hogwarts Legacy just as 2022 was the year of Elden Ring. I wonder if this presents any kind of dilemma for the Game Awards to hand out all those trophies in light of J.K. Rowling's comments.

Nothing I've seen would indicate that Hogwarts Legacy is GOTY material, not even close. I haven't played myself but the consensus seems to be that it's a pretty good game based on an immensely popular franchise, which I don't think will be enough to sweep awards.

I'm hoping GOTY for me is going to be FFXVI, it looks pretty freaking awesome so far. Maybe it'll be Starfield? I like Hogwart's, not dissatisfied with the purchase but for GOTY it's a little too casual and hard to shake the IP which is pretty generic/made for the little ones.

It's great playing Hogwart's because when I'm collecting mushrooms off of the ground I'm not thinking about the politix of it. The game is pretty refreshing but holy shit, I'm 10 hours in and it still feels like I'm in the introduction phase - just got to flying/crafting, all of which - very well done. Definitely going to be a game with way more than 30 hours in it.

Same here, Now 11.4 hours in. I've been running around the Hogwarts doing all kinds of side quest and regular quest and have not even touched the surface of the game yet. So much fun exploring the castle, and some of the outer areas.

The castle is amazing - it's almost a little too much. I had to get out of there by the five hour mark, it seems like it was designed to keep you in there for 10+ hours as a much too long introduction. And here I thought the RRD2 intro was too long and that shit is amazing AF, but on replays I resort to a save game file to skip it into the first open world parts - and what that intro is like an hour and a half? Skipping this introduction would be like skipping 1/6 of the game, maybe? I feel like I should have gotten the essential spells and the broomstick by the second hour and the game encouraging me to be on my way to adventures. The trek to Hogsmeade was a seriously beautiful gaming moment. I feel like they should have given you a broomstick at that point because it was a little bit too much of a hike back from there.

I met a couple of people who worked there when I lived in the Bay and remember around 2010 one of them said they were working on an Adventure Time game. Wonder where that is at.

Well, I just exited for the night so I can eat. Played 6.6 hours it says, basically from when it finished unpacking and setup. Lots of fun so far, not a lot of combat yet, haven't really gone outside of Hogwarts and the local town.

I'm pretty much at the same spot as you then. 6.7 hours. Though, I had to go to the Forbidden Forest just to get the hell away from the castle for a bit and I'm glad I did as that was by far the most fun I've had fighting, exploring, going deep into ruins. Got good gear from the forest run to get back to the last duel quest and overpower them to continue the main story. The exploring and combat are good enough to warrant the purchase for me (not a huge Potter fan). Now if I could only figure out how to get it in 4K (seems to be greyed out and I tried everything).

It's a huge achievement for Avalanche Software. I certainly wasn't expecting Hogwarts Legacy to be as good as it turned out to be (based on reviews). I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I'll buy it eventually since it's a genuinely good game.

Right? For a software company whose sole notable release was Disney: Infinity, which was a licensed knock off of Skylanders, this is super impressive.

I was confused by who the developer of this game is - Avalanche Studios and Avalanche Software (the company that developed Hogwart's). Now I'm more thoroughly confused. I could have seen Avalanche Studios stepping up their game design massively to create this game but Avalanche Software, even more perplexing. There must be more to the story, the story people should have focused on instead of wanking off into the ether with gender bullshit/JK Rowling.

It was going to be the first expansion I didn't play - but I caved a few days ago. I hated Shadowlands from beginning to who knows when, maybe 40 hours in before I just stopped playing. Dragonflight feels like a few steps back in the right direction. And with the actual dragonflight gameplay mechanic the zones are massive and fun to explore. Out of the three dungeons I played so far one of them uses dragonflight and it was a blast to play. And the music, they smashed it out of the theme park.

My wife and I saw nothing interesting in the promo materials for Dragonflight, and it even has a terrible, uninspiring pre-rendered video that doesn't even look like WoW until like 20 seconds from the end. This post has my interest, but it's likely we won't get into Dragonflight until it gets close to "finished" in a couple more years. Shadowlands wasn't awful, I guess, but more than ever, crafting felt worthless, which is usually where I end up at endgame. Not really a raider, not outside of Raid Finder or maybe Normal difficulty.

Same here, there was no appeal whatsoever from the marketing or just anything I saw until I started listening to the gamer reviews and most of the WoW-heads seem to love it ("cozy" was a reoccurring theme people mentioned, one guy said it's like "home") and with this extreme glut in games I was like why not? I haven't done crafting in WoW in probably 15 years, lol. Dragonflight revamped the crafting system and from what I've heard people were confused by it initially but most of the crafters really enjoy it and they say it ties in well with leveling. It seems like Blizzard are really trying not to screw this one up (even with the less than stellar sales) and are releasing lot's of content fairly quickly. It's really been fun for me because the exploration is so well done, so much detail to the environmental critters & sounds. The zones are designed to be outwardly expansive with layers of verticality for the dragonflying and then there are tons of dragonflying races in each zone. Some of the quests are a little more immersive than usual where you are listening to conversations while slowly attending a caravan etc and really tries to get the player to slow down and take it all in. I haven't liked WoW zone design this much since Wotlk. Check it out when you get the chance, it ain't going anywhere, lol

The game seems good enough to review on it's own w/o making an entire review about J.K. Rowling. I mean, I'm surprised from what I've seen in the video reviews that Avalanche Studios were able to create an actual AAA game. Kudos to them for that - most of their games have been misses or near misses - I did like Mad Max but it certainly didn't "knock it out of the park". I kind of liked Generation Zero mostly for bicycling around with people, lol - other than that it was a piece of crap. All I'm trying to say is, sure Rowling, what a $%^... but if you're "reviewing" a game - review the damn game, maybe say something about your personal gripes against her in your second to last paragraph instead of turning an entire review into "J.K. Rowling's Legacy". Mostly just talking about the Games Hub review.... but I guess that's the thing, everyone has a pooper and we're entitled to take poops; freedom of poopression.

I liked what I played of it. It's definitely more of a streamlined looter shooter than immersive space sim. I still thought it was immersive though, it's just very arcadey with looter shooter elements, almost like Destiny 2 in space.
