All I know is that he's just gotten a skin in game. I don't think there are any events around the John Cena character, but I could be wrong. My guess is that he only makes money off of what sells while it's for sale and of course what you said about the upfront pay and all that. Also, he may have made some cash from the spray that features peacemaker (character he played from Suicide Squad).

I feel Trevor is a bit overrated these days. He gets too much love if anything. He is a horrible human being in GTA, I don't think we're ever supposed to sympathize with him, or care for him really. Michael and Franklin aren't as awful, because they aren't monsters compared to him. Of course, they aren't perfect, as they too are pretty awful people in terms of what they do throughout the game. But yeah, it'll be nice to change the main character up a bit. Maybe this female protagonist will be more human, or maybe she will be just as bad as the other characters in the series.

I wouldn't say separate so much as it's included with RDR2, but you are able to download RDR2 online separately if you want just the online mode. But with it starting to die down a bit, I don't know if there's a point to buy it. Oh yeah, you still need to buy the online mode if you want to play it. Maybe with RDRO losing support, maybe they will make that portion free to play and open it up some more. That'd be pretty dope.

Yeah I can imagine it taking a toll on people to play nearly all day long. I know some of us could easily play games all day, myself included, but it's more casual for me to play games all day, because I'm not training for anything. But I can see the pressure building if you're a pro gamer, playing the same game over and over to master it as best you could. On top of all that, to stream as well, puts a lot of pressure on one. Or so I would imagine. I can see many people over-training as well.

Weird, I didn't see $25 mentioned in the article I shared, but looking it up further it does look to equal out to that price. Honestly $25 for a family plan is pretty good, considering it gets you up to 5 people on a family plan, which equates to $5 each if this pricing is true. So far there hasn't been an announcement on the pricing, they guess it based off of where it's currently taking place, so the pricing could change. But yeah, I think $25 is fair.

Yeah the new Mario Kart games are pretty decent. I'd say from the DS onward they are pretty top notch in terms of gameplay. And I think Double Dash was the one that introduced us to Mario Kart with co-op/teams. I haven't played most of the Mario Kart games, but most of the news ones I did play, were a blast to play with friends. Mario Kart is essentially still good for couch co-op. You can play online sure, but split screen is still a blast. Most of, if not all of the Mario Kart games are popular among fans. 8 kinda stands on its own in a way.

Oh of course. I knew this when they decided to never make single player DLC after the game dropped. Same with GTA V and how they never released any single player DLC, like they originally said would have some DLC. But, ever since GTA Online took over, their attention has been for online rather than single player. And part of me thinks that we'll be going into an online only experience with GTA eventually. Where they skip the single player story, and instead do a GTA Online only thing where in order to play the story, you need to play with friends via co-op or something. But, I hope that never happens.

Honestly I think it is a hell of a lot easier to be responsible in video games than it is in real life. There's so much you have to worry about when you get older. Life can be chaotic. For me, I try to be responsible in real life, as best as I can, but I've made mistakes, done dumb things and I feel like I am more responsible in games than I have been in real life. There's just so much more to life than gaming. Having to pay bills, take care of your family, buy a house, and more.

For me, gaming is a big stress relief, especially when I'm having a rough day and need an escape. I don't know if it's my favorite form of stress relief, but it can help. I wouldn't say it's the best stress relief, because sometimes watching movies and tv shows does that for me. As well, I enjoy music as well, as that's been known to calm me down when things get a little rough.

I learned that I'm not that good when it comes to MMOs, and probably never will be. I've played some MMOs in the past, but for me, I never really got too into them. I always wanted to, but could never see myself getting too into it. Also I learn I have no patience with most MMOs. 😄

Ones that don't alienate their audience, and ones that are more chill and don't force players to play a certain way. Most MMOs for me, have been pretty good, but I have had issues with people in the past. The audience can sometimes be a pain to deal with when it comes to MMOs in general. A good MMO community is a community free of gamers who make trouble. A community that helps one another and all that fun stuff.

I swear I thought this was already a thing, but it sounds like Xbox will be making it possible to share game pass accounts with family. I guess in a couple countries they've already been given access for family sharing of game pass. Honestly I'm for this, because I believe I could share my subscription with my nephew maybe, so that he too can take advantage of it. Do you think this will be good for Xbox? I think so.

Yeah it sucks, especially if you get their health bar nearly all the way down and then bam, they kill you with an OP attack or something. With Dark Souls that always seems to happen. You get super far into the battle, and one poor move you get screwed over. I can't handle games like that for too long, because I just get tired of being destroyed lol.

Sure, but a they like to cancel a lot of those series, at least lately they have. It seems like every day I hear about a new show from Netflix getting cancelled after a season or two. They've been losing a lot of money, and that's why they cancel so many shows. As well, I noticed they've been slacking on the quality of programming. Some of the movies and shows they release aren't that good. But then again, there are other services out there that have poor catalogs of movies and tv shows and do just fine. Like Amazon Prime for example. But idk with Netflix, they seem to be losing a lot more money these days.

Oh it'll probably still get some service packs here and there. But gradually it will start to lose support. If I had the money I'd love to be able to update every 3-4 years. I'm probably closing in on my third year owning this PC, so it's probably due for an upgrade. It still gets the job done for me, but I know some games are going to be too powerful for me to run.

You're allowed to post links, but there may be a limit to how many posts you have to make first before you can. But I don't remember to be honest. I thought it was 25, but maybe it's 30 posts. Maybe mods like @Shagger, or @The Blackangel can shed more light on that? I think you need to complete a certain amount of posts to be allowed to post links. I'll look into some of that as well. I'm kinda interested in hearing all about the corruption, especially if it's so rampant in the esports community. Kinda don't want to try to get into competitive gaming now because of how corrupt it sounds.

Yeah I suppose. I've played many games early on for just the fun of it, and I would often get good. Like Gotham City Impostors, a FPS that I played a ton of. I remember being pretty decent in it, but I don't think it had anything like a competitive following. It would have been wild to try to play this game competitively. Just wish the game was popular these days, because it's a fun FPS multiplayer game imo.

I would never gamble for real on those mobile games. So many of those games are predatory and pretty much steal your money. I think a lot of these apps are forced to give out a disclaimer about gambling, at least I would hope they do, because these games are so horrible with the predatory practices they take to get your hard earned cash. On top of that, there's got to be many scam apps that get by on these mobile stores. It makes you wonder how many people have gambled through these mobile games and never won a thing. Or got anything good in return. Oh and people who gamble for digital items that can't be sold or redeemed for cash, why you do dis?

I really want to play the Horizon games. I heard Zero Dawn is one of the best games on the PS4. When I heard it dropped on PC as well, I immediately put it on my watch list for when I can buy it. Has Horizon Forbidden West also been added to PC via Epic Games? I hope so, because I would like to eventually play both games and finally experience this rich story and gameplay.

I don't really count it so much for Guitar Hero and games like it, because it's meant to be a rhythm style game. I think it works fine for that type of game, but I don't like it when it's used for fighting games, fighting during a mission, to advance the story and so on. Give me full control of the scene so I can actually experience it. That's how I feel anyway.

That's a good way of putting it. I feel like for me, it does bring me back to my childhood of first experiencing games. But I think it's more than that. We shouldn't view video games as something only we as children enjoyed. For me, they're no different than movies, tv shows, books and so on. Essentially it's just another escape from the troubles of life. If anything, I still feel like that teen kid who enjoyed video games growing up. I just got older, that's it. I may be an adult now, but I don't feel like one haha.

Heard about that, I really hope this whole NFT craze dies faster than the Beanie Baby craze of the 90s. It kinda feels like something similar to that, in that it gets so huge, and then all of a sudden, people start to lose interest, and soon enough, I can see prices coming down on a lot of NFTs, because once the novelty wears off, I think it's done.

I think with the Witcher, that games characters felt more real and fleshed out compared to the robotic like characters in Skyrim. I could see it being a lot easier to remember a side character in The Witcher 3 over Skyrim, mainly because I feel those characters have more character, does that make sense?

I've haven't played much of the Pokemon games myself, but I can imagine it not being as good on the GBA and Gameboy consoles. Is it just the 8bit music you can't get into? But fair, I've never heard music from the series, so I can't judge.

Elgato would be a good option. I haven't heard a whole lot on Aver media either. I just know they have produced capture devices similar to Elgato, but in the past I thought they weren't any good, so I always thought Elgato was the one to go for. But I guess they're not so bad. Reading some reviews they seem to be a more affordable option as well.
