Wouldn't it be nice if more games offered better voice options for their custom characters? Whenever I play a game that has voice options, they always seem lacking to me. I want funny voices, serious ones, multiple race types and so on. I think that adds to the game for those wanting to replicate themselves in the game. No voices I use match my own voice and I think it'd be fun to have a game where it comes close to how I sound in real life. I know this likely won't happen, as I doubt studios want to hire tons of voice actors just to make everyone feel included. But it'd be nice to have more than a couple options too.

Same here. I don't think I ever intend to play this game for long. I mainly want to see how it is and see if any friends want to play it for a bit, maybe for a weekend or so. But after that I will probably end up going right back to Fortnite or RDR2 haha. It's just I'm not huge with fighting games, and I see no point in playing most of them. But I too like the character selection, so I am curious to at least give it a test run one of these days.

Yeah I can see the prize pools differing everywhere. And in regards to UFC fighters, yeah I noticed they don't get paid that good until they're star attractions. It's funny too, because there are other MMA leagues that seem to pay the smaller guys more fairly. I think Bellator is one that pays all of their fighters good. But I could be wrong. Essentially, the better you are, the more cash you're going to get. Simple as that. With esports, the best teams and leagues are where the money is, but for smaller teams and less popular teams, they have smaller leagues they can take advantage of. But, that also means less money. But, growing in these leagues, means you will eventually get better pay as you advance.

Which is why I'm for game preservation, because even cart based media will degrade over time, though it will take a lot longer than disc based games, it will eventually happen. I like what the wayback machine has done with their DOS games list, as they're trying to save as many games as they can. Which is why I think a lot of other media like it is starting to get digitized. Like old VHS tapes that have old commercials. I like when people preserve that history for us to watch later. And with gaming I think that's the only route to take, at least when it comes to retro and disc based games. Because I'd hate to see some classics get lost to time because no one decided to preserve them. I think Nintendo and all the big brands have their games protected and saved, but there are a lot of games that are probably never going to be released digitally and in turn could be lost to time. And that scares me.

I've never played any of the Persona games. Isn't it based on an anime or manga or something? One of my friends is really into the series, but I don't think it's something I would be into. But to each their own. 🙂 That's how I usually buy most games these days. I'm too lazy to wait for the physical releases to get delivered, so I tend to go the digital route most of the time. Just easier for me. But sucks not having the physical versions, as I do like collecting the physical game as well. But these days I can't be bothered lol.

I think I would. I already work from home, so all I would need is a VR headset to be able to work in that way. I don't know if I could do a full days work in VR though. Since I never had time with a VR headset before, I don't know how long I can handle wearing one. It's not like you have to be in a virtual space to work though, as I work in a Discord server, so we just join a voice chat for meetings and such. VR would be cool, but I don't think it's something really needed. Especially with webcams being around.

VR could easily be used to help teach people how to do certain things. It is still recommended to do it in person, as I imagine repairing a car wouldn't work so well. Yeah you could learn parts, how to install things and so on, but in order to truly learn, you will have to get down and dirty with a real vehicle eventually. But, there are practical things VR can be used for and teaching is definitely one aspect. Especially if it's a VR game that lets you train in game. There are VR games where you can take apart and put together computers, cars, and more. So it's not far from reality.

Not quite sure to be honest. I don't know what kind of personality traits go for gaming in general. I can see most personalities enjoying a video game, albeit, some not so much. But I think there are many personality types who find fun in games. I'm not sure what "Absorption" has to do with personality traits though. Absorption just means absorbing something, so idk how that works as a personality. Maybe someone who just wants to try everything, absorb all experiences, but that's all I can see by that meaning. I mean, you can be very immersed in a game, almost absorbed by it. Is that what you meant?

Depends on the game. Sometimes I have quit a game midway, and haven't come back to them. Some games I do go back, like in the case of Shadow of the Colossus, where originally I quit playing about a quarter of the way through and then came back, only to beat a few more levels and then quit again. I still have the save on my PS2 memory card somewhere, so if I ever want to, I can go back and continue it. But there are games that I do quit, and then finish later on. But majority of the time if I quit a game mid-way I often never come back to it. In regards to short breaks though, I do that a lot, but I always come back. I will take a break from playing RDR2 from time to time, but I always come back to it later or even minutes later.

yeah, in the end it's all subjective. One person could love the game, and claim it's the greatest of all time, while another could come in and say they absolutely hated it and never want to play it again. We as people, are different from one another. I'm sure there are many things you love that I wouldn't be into. And the same from my end. I'm sure there are a lot of things I enjoy, that others would say is garbage. My taste in movies will sometimes be gawked at, and that's fine, we all have differing opinions about things.

Honestly, the stuff I saw on that game so far, it doesn't look so good to me. The Gollum game I mean. I just remember seeing the character model and thinking it looked like it will be a rough game. But maybe that was early into development. How has the development gone on this game so far? Yes Saints Row, I completely forgot that was coming out soon. That's for sure on my radar, as it looks like it's going back to the feel of Saints Row. I just hope it lives up to the hype and is as good as the first few. We shall see I guess. 🙂

There is still support, but it's very minimal to the point that it doesn't even matter. Rockstar recently released some small stuff in RDRO, but it was nothing worth anyone's time. Some gold bars I think and some tasks with an NPC. Nothing big essentially. Oh for sure. I still don't know if this is still happening, but if it is, I hope Rockstar sorts it soon, at least for those who are still playing online. I have no intentions of spending anytime online again, as the ecosystem is just awful. But, maybe one day some modder will come in and set up a new server for people who still play the online mode. Would be cool to see mods and other goodies added too. Eh I wouldn't say good, but okay lol. Sucks to see something potentially good squandered, but maybe things will change soon.

At this point it's all just for money. They can create new fancy character models and do some work on gameplay, but it didn't need to happen. It's the same thing that happened with the Spider-man remaster. Why did they have to change the character model? To me, that just screams cash grab, because I don't think people care too much for another HD upscale of a game that already looked damn good even on the PS3. Yeah it's nice to get an HD upscale/remake of a popular game, but I feel like it's way too soon for a lot of games. It's just recapturing the glory of the game as much as possible. Once a PS6 comes out, who's to say they won't make yet another remaster of the first game? They could also be using this time to develop a new game in the series, or a new franchise even. I know that a lot of these remasters are tossed to smaller studios, but still, I feel like those smaller studios could be tasked with making something they really want to make. That's another thing, developers tasked with making remasters and remakes, must hate it, because it takes them away from developing brand new ideas.

I loved it. It was so simple, yet so relaxing. And I hate that I kinda got shit for being into it, because some others said it was too much of a kid game. Yeah fair, but it's still a relaxing experience that I think was worth the time I played it. I've yet to play Stardew Valley, but a friend of mine has suggested it to me a few times. I heard the guy who made the game, is developing a new game that's similar in style and somewhat in gameplay. And it will be multiplayer as well. 🙂

Yes I agree with you 100%. I hate when games just up the health of an enemy, but don't change anything else about them. Like Shagger said, in Horizon Zero Dawn, they make the AI smarter as you choose a higher difficulty. I think in Hitman it's similar, in that they add more enemies in the map, and also make it tougher to get away because their vision cones are a lot bigger. On top of that, if you're shot, or you use clothes from a person who was shot, the enemies will take notice of that and will get suspicious. I like when games higheten the AI to being a bit smarter about the situation. But, I also found that in Hitman, you can pop off a few shots and run in front of the enemies if you want haha. I guess this is a method to speed running. Anyway, I think games like Dark Souls do AI the best. If they can replicate something like that with other games, I could see it being much better.

True, the fan base will often be more interested in a remaster. But, some will be unhappy because of the price tag. I don't think most would care, but I feel like some fans have made a fuss already about the price being the same or more than the original game. Just feels like they're asking for too much.

Anyone into playing that VR Chat game? I want to get a VR headset and give that a try. I saw some videos of people mucking around on it and I think it'd make for a fun experience. And content as well. Sucks though, because I doubt most of my friends have a VR headset. Maybe one day though.

Yeah from what I saw of it, it just looked like someone using assets from an asset store and the engine they used. They clearly didn't do any work. I wish you could see the video because it was laughably bad. Like no work was put into this game. I think they got everything from one place and then put it together in a game. But yeah, there was a lot of bad games on here, because anyone can make a game and add it. So there's no quality control.

I think if the new game that's coming soon fails, then I think it will be time for Sega to take a break in Sonic. I think if that's the case, a break will help the series a lot. But maybe they also need a new team to develop a sonic game. Because whatever they're doing now, isn't working that well. But I'll see what the new game is like. Maybe I'm going to be wrong.

I imagine they are age gated, as in whoever watches their show, are required to sign into a valid YouTube. If you're underage you won't be able to watch it. Their content has been more adult oriented since they started. They kinda tamed it down a bit in recent years, but they still sometimes swear and say dumb stuff lol.

Weird, I couldn't edit your emoji out on mobile. Anyway I agree 100%. I know I could do better at these Souls games, but I just don't have the patience. Anyone can do good at these games if they paid attention and took things slow. Watched attack patterns and so on.

Yeah, there is a lot they could do with a sequel. I think with stray in terms of it's gameplay, is made that way to make the game more accessible to more gamers. I think a sequel could add a lot more, but I hope they don't change too much about the controls, as that's where the accessibility comes from.

For sure. I use gaming a lot to help me, by it I also enjoy other forms of media to help with my stress and depression. I loved unpacking. It's one of those games that was really relaxing to me.

Oh God, the RC Plane missions in Vice City sucked. Same with the annoying level in San Andreas where you have to plant bombs with the RC Plane. I think they fixed these missions in the remastered versions though. Still, they are a pain to do whenever these missions pop up.

Yup I remember that. I hated that you didn't play as snake all the way through. Was never a fan of Raiden. He just seemed cringe to me. Yeah not a bad trailer. But it seems to be an okay game too.
