Usually I don't unless it's a game I really want. Last game I purchased brand new, was probably RDR2, but I am not 100% anymore. It may have been WWE 2K22, but I forget. Either way, I don't usually buy the first, second or even the third week. These days I just get gamepass and that's really all I ever need. I download some games, play them, and then move on to the next. I play older games more than I play newer games. I also buy older games more than I buy newer games. It helps having gamepass, so I haven't had to purchase much as of late.

The Blackangel is correct. It usually comes down to time constraints and the budget. I look at GTA IV to GTA V for example. You see a bigger game in GTA V correct? Well, there was a lot of things in GTA IV that didn't show up in GTA V. One thing I found was that the fighting was worse in GTA V than it was in GTA IV, at least in my opinon. I just remember GTA IV having more combo options with your fighting. This video shows some things GTA IV did better:

Sorry to hear that. I know some people had issues with the touch controls. I never really cared all too much for them, but most of the games I did play, didn't require you to use the second screen all too much or the touch controls. Was your 3DS maybe damaged at some point and that caused issues with the touch controls?

I've been looking into modding RDR2 single player, just to get some more life out of it and have some extra fun. I want to do it once I have 100% the game. I then want to mod it to mess around in the single player world. What I want to know is, is it safe to mod the single player mode for RDR2? I know online is a no-no considering that's a ban right there. But I would like to just play on single player. I hear they add map updates and new missions even, so I'm all for that. I think it'd be fun to make little videos too.

Some parents were like that. My parents didn't always allow me to game, there were times where I wasn't allowed, or had a time I had to be off the games. I did get a lot of the "You should be outside, stop playing video games, they're for kids" or "You're wasting your life playing games", etc. Stuff like that always bugged me, because I had family who would watch TV all day, or read all day. What's the difference if I want to game all day? But these days, gaming is more popular than ever and I think people are more accepting of the hobby. Plus now with people making real money from it, either in making games, playing them, or talking about them.

Oh I was referring to The Quarry. I know of the Olli Olli games. I played one of them a while back, but didn't really get into it that much. It was fun for a little bit, but I found it lacking compared to other skate games. Plus I don't remember, but didn't it have a 2D side scrolling feel? I don't think I liked that aspect. Anyway, what about The Quarry, how was it?

Yeah, I don't own a lot of the newer Nintendo consoles. Last Nintendo console I officially owned was probably the N64 or the Gameboy advance, and I no longer have the advance as I gave it to my niece for her birthday one year. I have played some of the newer games with family and friends though. I still own most of my retro mario games and still sometimes play them. As for GTA SA, I'd say that qualifies as a retro game at this point. 2004 was 18 years ago. I remember hearing that NES games were retro by the late 90s early 2000s, so I'd say GTA SA qualifies at this point. Plus, I consider anything retro to be something that is obsolete by the time. Does that make sense?

Yeah, but wasn't there a shortage of chips that's still causing prices to stay a bit up there? I could be wrong, but I heard there was a chip shortage for the past year or so now. If that's the case though, awesome, because I wouldn't mind building a new gaming PC when I can afford to. And on a side note, I am never investing in crypto. Spent $60 a while back on three kinds of crypto, and now have like $25 worth left lol.

Ah ok, so you were talking about Second Life. Yeah I heard it was a time consuming game. I think I may have downloaded it years ago, but couldn't get into it. I hear it's still somewhat popular today too. As for The Playboy Mansion, I imagine there's not nearly as much content as say The Sims had. I feel like a game like that, would often be a bit shorter and have less stuff to do. Plus I imagine it focused more on being a perv than actually anything else. But I could be wrong. 😄

That is very likely to happen, especially with EA involved. But I do have some hopes that the team behind Skate are given the freedom to do what they want and not what EA tells them to do. Honestly, if it's like Fortnite for example, I'd have no issue with it, because in that regard, you can play the game all the way through without having to pay a single cent. But of course, if you want to get all of those unlocks for the season, you have to pay $10-$15 a season. The reason I can see it working, is because Fortnite changes every season, they always seem to do something new and fresh. If Skate can replicate that type of live service game, and make it work, I honestly think it would go over fine. But, maybe I'm too hopeful, because the track record with EA is hard to overlook. But, we'll see.

I think that makes it even more fun if everyone is answers differently. The more random of a playthrough, I think the better. That way if I ever want to, I can revisit it myself and play it solo, maybe try to change the story around. That's the point with these types of games, that's their replayability, the fact that you could get different endings with each playthrough. Idk how many endings there are, but I'm sure there are some.

Honestly, have you considered some of what Newgrounds offers? They produced a ton of 2D shooters back in the day, some if I remember, were actually good and resulted in actual console ports. I think Alien Hominid or whatever it was, originally started on Newgrounds before it graced consoles. I think Hollow Knight qualifies, and I remember playing a bit of it. Was quite fun. There's also Broforce, Cuphead (if you want a challenge, I still haven't played it myself lol). Oh and if you want a classic, go with Smash TV on the NES. I'm sure you could emulate that no prob. 🙂

On top of all that, they're losing money like crazy producing content. They just don't have the money to support it. Though I wish it was a possibility, because I think with Netflix in the gaming world, it could be interesting to see what they produce. But, maybe that will happen in the future when Netflix gets their shit together. If they can invest in studios to come on board and produce exclusive games, that could work.

With MGS 2 though, I believe fans were more mixed on that. I think a lot of people hated not being able to play as Snake throughout the majority of the game. I haven't played MGSV, but I already know that Snake and Big Boss and all them are clones if I remember correctly. With Atreus it's a bit different. You weren't forced to play as him with Kratos in the background. To my knowledge, the first and new game you take control of Kratos, and Atreus is your backup. What I think will happen, is maybe Kratos will become the backup eventually, while you take Atreus over. But, I don't think that will happen until after a third game, to make it a solid trilogy. Then they can explore Atreus as a main character, with Kratos as a backup character. This way he doesn't go away and can still be an important part of the games.

And that's fair. But I feel at this point that Naughty Dog are set to keep this franchise going. If all these remasters says anything, they are willing to stick with these franchises and milk them for everything they can. I really didn't think we needed another remaster of the first game, but we're getting it. And I'm sure The Last of US part 2 will get another remaster by the time a third game is announced or released.

AEW has been talking about their own game for a while now, have even shown off images of the game. It looks more cartoonish, but is being developed by Yukes, who was the team behind the WWE games for a while. They also have a wrestling management game on mobile, but I haven't played that. But with WWE games, they are very much lack in recent years. The new changes to the recent game were great and needed, but it still feels like the last 5 or so games, where I see similar animations, the belts don't sit on you, the belts clip, created characters sometimes don't show up for their match. WWE 2K is still a mess in many ways, but is much better than recent versions. But, 2K needed to prove that they could still deliver on a WWE game, but I don't know the official sales, but I heard that if it didn't sell well, then they may look into a different direction. I hope they get a different dev team behind it.

Ok, that does look Sims like, I'll have to check it out. Not super into the art style, but I'll try it out and see if I can get used to it. Honestly, it kinda reminds me of earlier games in the 2000s or so.

It's not out yet, but sounds like 2023 will be the year we can play it. I'm excited to play it. Love service games get a lot of hate, and I understand why, but I feel if it's done right, it could work for both the devs and the fans. Just gotta make sure EA doesn't cause it to back to being greedy. Which is a real possibility.

Yeah I get that. Keeping the Nintendo games on their own consoles. I just don't think Nintendo needs PC games on their consoles. I think their focus is mostly on consoles and their games. But I think it'd be cool to have some Nintendo games come to pc and some PC games come to Nintendo.

It's a game I really want to play. I want to play the first game first, since I've yet to play it. With it being on PC I can actually make that a reality soon. Then I'll eventually try out the sequel. I just can't wait to fly around the city as spiderman. Great review by the way! 🙂

I forgot about stuntman. I remember hearing it was actually a decent game, but also heard it can be frustrating at times. I feel like there are so many destruction derby type games out there. But, the more the better. I'd welcome a new game in that series.

Yup, would be so fun to see what my friends choose. We could hijack the story from each other too. But anyway, I asked my friends if they'd like to play. A couple of them said yet. I want to try to get a full 8 party group to play this.

If you like souls like games, where you have to fight tough enemies, and die a lot, you'll probably like this game. I've never played it, but from what I saw, it's one of those games that you'll really love or really hate because of the difficulty.

That's a good question. I'm going to guess that it needs to be mostly fmv, even during gameplay segments. But I'd count those games just because of how they delivered the story through actual scenes and with pro actors. And like you said, these were some of the best games in terms of actor performance until we got 3d games and the inclusion of pro voice actors.

I have heard about it, but never played it. I think there was a few blade runner games back then. I didn't play any of them, but I hear the point and click game is somewhat popular with fans. I might see if there's a way to play it online. Maybe the way back machine has a dos version of the game I can play. 🙂
