Hello everyone: I'm 38 and hail from British Columbia. During my life, I've been a casual gamer and have jumped back and forth between PC gaming and consoles. The genres I'm into are shooters, racing, RPG, sports, and city building. I got back into gaming during the pandemic. At the start, I was playing my PS2 for a while until it sadly died. Then I unboxed and blew the dust off my N64 which my parents got my brother and I for Christmas in 1997. I played Perfect Dark a LOT doing the combat simulator and unlocking achievements/cheats. I played Rush 2: Extreme Racing a lot also. Despite the age of these games, I had a lot of fun playing them. Recently, I've been thinking about getting a newer system. The Xbox One X seems like a good choice since it gives me access to a lot of recent and older titles (I learned that Playstation has terrible backward compatibility). It also allows me to play 4K blu-ray. I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone here and broadening my horizons.

Normally I'd agree with you and really not take this very seriously (And honestly, I still kind of don't), but because it's Alex Jones were talking about, it dose make wonder. Is this edgy entertainment, or propaganda? I've peaching in another thread recently about how entertainment media is not dangerous, but propaganda is. There is a difference between the two. Still, even though Alex Jones is undoubtably a dangerous, hate fuelled conspiracy theorist, I actually feel inclined to let this one pass. Whether he's aware of it or not, he's making fun of himself here as much anything else he's trying to do. However, it is interesting to see a man who claims books are corrupting the youth into being gay make a colourful, 2D video game whare the goal is to destroy gay or whatever the goal is. Unfortunatly, whilst I think he's a lot of things, I don't actually think he's as stupid as people say.

That caught my eye because I always thought that Soinc the Hedgehog was a 16-bit game for the Megadrive/Genesis, but it turns out you were right, and I was wrong. An 8-Bit version was released on the Master System and the Game Gear. You learn something new every day.

This is so bad it's cringe. It's funny, these people think that the left are snowflakes but then they get upset when they're "freedom of speech" is "taken away" when they post controversial posts about harming other human beings on a platform that has guidelines and rules that everyone needs to follow. I know social media moderation can be a joke at times though... They get so upset that they make a video game that depicts harming minorities because they know they can't do this in real life without getting arrested.

Anyone who has even been casually been following this game and it's bizarre development story probably saw this coming. It's not the MMO that was promised, its now an extraction shooter with 30 players per server. There no zombie hoards as promised, I don't think I've seen a clip with more than 3 or 4 zombies in the same place at the same time. And you know that's by design because of how many bullets it takes to kill a single zombie. There is no mele combat, which is unacceptable for a game of this type. And like you said, bugs galore. The developers shut down and locked out thier Discord as soon as the game launched and it's plain to see why. This is confirmed as a scam. I hope everybody refunded this and that the scumbags behind it get what they deserve.

I don't even know what to say with this. The level of hate someone has to have to make a game entirely anti LGBTQ littered with far right conspiracy theories attacking the media, medicine, and just every lame far right talking point, with superman Trump while you kill a nazi dragon. Which is ironic because the far righties are the actual nazis. And Jones keeps hating on gays while throughout the game he keeps saying 'I'll eat your ass." lol. I mean, it's usually the ones who scream the loudest attacking gays are actually in the closet. The link to the article I do agree with this statement, "And of course, his defenders would undoubtedly argue that violent video games are just games—they aren’t going to turn anyone into murderers. Personally, I would agree with that. But considering how much time the right spends trying to ban books because they’re afraid they’re going to turn kids gay, it might be time for them to pick a lane." The take home message, it's a hate filled game, but if this game doesn't make you want to go out and kill people, then books won't make you turn gay. And Elon Musk in another topic on VGR where he played the new GTA 6 and complains about violence against police. So which is it here? We're getting mixed signals from the far righties. Does this incite violence against gays or not? Does another game incite violence against police or not? Do books turn you gay or not? If it were gays killing a bunch of republicans, would they then want to ban the game and declare the LGBTQ as terrorists? I bet they sure would try like the cry baby hypocrites they are who believe in rights for me but not for thee. And Alex Jones himself is nothing but a dangerous quack who lost his money in lawsuits for spreading conspiracies that mass shootings in schools were faked. Fucking idiot. And then he goes and spreads this nonsense.

Musk is trying to act like he cares because he's in deep doodoo for his role in spreading hate on his platform and engaging in antisemitism. He's looking for a right wing talking point to deflect from himself and his social media and blame some other form of entertainment as the culprit for violence. He's attacking whomever/wherever to rally his peeps, his social media hate speech peeps. Video games are usually the go to in order to deflect from some other violent issues. Musk is that issue now and his promotion of hate on X. Another thing to point out is that Musk has no room to talk about violence while he tortured monkeys in his Neuralink experiments and allows widespread racial discrimination at Tesla, which both of these instances are being investigated. Musk is just trying to sound like the good guy now all of a sudden while he is currently on his Apology Tour, where he had to go kiss up to Israel after his remarks. I expect Musk to now go and incite more violence against woke and the LGBTQ community, now that he thinks he is gaining favor from the police, trying to sound like he is morally superior after company ads are ditching his toxic waste dump site. Everything about Musk now is a political calculation, with evil intent.
