Bad Kitty!

GTA Online’s New Formula 1 Races Are Cool But Too Tough For Many Players

GTA Online’s newest update adds open-wheel racing to the game. Think F1, but with more chaos and destruction. These new open-wheel races feel different than previous modes, with a focus on skillful driving and managing your car’s tires and damage. These races can be fun, though a lot of the GTA Online players seem to…

Whenever I played the LEGO Star Wars games, I would spend way too much time farming studs.
