I got it soon after release as a supplemental for when I didn't want to go to the gym. It is a fun gamification of exercising and has good alternatives if you live in close proximity to those who wouldn't like you running in place.

If you can find it for regular price and are looking for something to spice up your exercise routine, go for it

Can you cheat on it like I used to for the long jump on the NES power pad?

Yes, that is what I did when it wanted me to do mountain climbers and was giving me a lovely score in the battle gym. It just did high knees instead and the game counted that

Cheating isn't really an option for me since they offer alternatives most of the time that I can do.

Also the ring is difficult to cheat with since you have to compress or stretch it.

I like it for when I'm all irritable and cranky. Something to channel my frustrations into.

That is true with the ring. About the only way you can cheat that is that it doesn't notice if you are holding it up or behind you once you get it verified. My rotator cuff area was a bit sore from doing the overhead presses and I was near the end of my time so I just did front presses and it registered it.

I got sucked into it pretty good. Ignored the base missions early on in favor of having a solid armada of ships instead, and I keep raking in that expedition $$ with my ~25 ship fleet that can be good at whatever mission needs doing :getin:

fake e: the ship to ship combat almost scratches that old X-Wing: Alliance itch.

Almost.

Man that was a long and uninteresting trailer. They could make the PS5 a gray block for all I care. What does it do that would make me want to use it instead of my PC or PS4 Pro, or Switch? That’s what I’d like to see.

That's not remotely surprising considering how long they're taking to release any info on GTA6.

Hope they make it so if you already have it on xbone/ps4 that you can just upgrade on the next gens for free. I was annoyed enough with the 360 to xbone switch that I just wound up starting from scratch.

That probably means RDR2 is going to next gens too.

The whole time I was watching that stream I kept saying "show me something that isn't already being done on current hardware" and couldn't see anything. We'll see what Digital Foundry has to say, but using a bunch of super stylized games to show off the power of your hardware isn't very compelling.

Horizon 2 in 4k60 with ray tracing will probably make me buy one whenever that game comes out, though. That first game was amazing.

I'm literally going to throw 600 bucks down the drain for Horizon 2 and nothing else. And I don't even care.

Demon Souls, Gran Turismo and Horizon for me.
Although I'm not sure I can pay 600 for a console, I barely play my PS4 and there are some fantastic games on it.

PS4 exclusives were the only reason I bought a PS4 and it never disappointed. Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War were both incredible. Looking forward to HZD on PC.

edit: definitely holding off on any new console for a while though unless something more exciting comes out about it

Also, the Miles Morales Spider-Man game isn't a full fledged sequel. It's an expansion/remaster of the Spider-Man game that came out a couple of years ago. So that's disappointing.

Okay now it's a stand-alone game akin to Uncharted Lost Legacy, still disappointing just not as much.
