I think the only thing that has been proven about games being "bad" for you, is probably game addiction. I don't see violence being a problem. We could also argue movies, tv, music, books and other forms of media teach violence as well. I think if someone has violence tendencies, gaming may help them more, so they don't attack to hurt others. Now I can't say they use games to fill their need, but ya never know. I just don't see many people being inspired to hurt because of video games. I think some people are just violent in nature way before they touch a video game.

I remember hearing the sequel wasn't as popular because of some changes. I didn't get too into the original game to begin with, but I heard it was pretty decent. I heard the third game kinda redeemed it though. But never played that one either.

Honestly, do OP want to play the first GTA titles? It's really up to you. It's not a requirement to play all the titles in the series. The stories have some connections, but they aren't big to the point where you'd be confused or want to play the older games to figure it out. If you feel like you'd enjoy them, then have fun. They are fun games to play. Some would argue more fun than the newer games in some regards.

True, but it's gotta come out sooner rather than later. Considering GTA V can only be updated so much, they will want to bring out another billion dollar seller, with an updated online. Maybe they will even make it where it doesn't take years to load GTA online from single player. If they can do that, they already have me won over. Well, if they make it less of a grind online, they will win me over even more.

Not necessarily. I know some streamers only stream for a couple hours, some only an hour. You don't have to stream 24 hours a day either. I imagine some streamers do that, and I can't see how anyone could go that long or even longer.

I wonder, were they mostly PC demos? I feel like console games didn't get dropped much in happy meals sadly. But I could be wrong.

I still have some nostalgia for that game. Even though it was a buggy mess, I remember the physics in some places were pretty decent. Idk, I think it was the house you had in game. I just thought it was so cool that the items in his house were like breakable. Like cups, vases, etc. But it was pretty impressive to me at the time for a PS2/Xbox game. But yeah, I still enjoyed the game somehow. It was awful, but I was always a Driver fan, so I put up with it lol.

Yeah Sneak King, that bumper car one, the kart racer and I think that was it. I didn't even think of Monster Energy Supercross, but that counts too. Yeah a lot of the older promo games are pretty good. I heard that McKids game on the NES was good. Cool spot was supposedly fun to play too. And I think there are a few others that were fairly decent.

I don't mind cheating in games if everyone involved is allowed to do so as well, and it's on some private server where people can't get into any trouble. But when it results in you cheating to get ahead in a game, then no, I don't want you in my game. Cheaters are annoying when it comes to online games, because they think it's haha funny to waste people's times with their cheats and hacks.

Nice, I still need to play the final season. Been putting it off for years. I think I have the final season left to play through, but don't know when I will ever get down to it. How is it though?

Well sure, that'd be the point of the event. We'd probably do some gaming, hanging out, drinking, more gaming, etc. But yeah, a time to socialize and hangout would be a good idea for sure.

I just know, that I will be a gamer until the day I die. It's weird to say that. Because I can't see most elderly people being gamers these days, but just wait until our generation gets to that age. All these old gamers out there, old Gran parents I love the idea of that.

Stalker 2 looks pretty dope. Never played the first game. Should I play that first or play this instead when it comes out?

Same here. I can't be bothered with most games to collect everything. Sometimes I just play the story and call it. I don't need to capture, catch, find or collect everything if it doesn't have a barring on the story.

Not interested in chatting online? I get that. I rarely use my headset when I play online. Well mostly when I game alone. I'll sometimes game with a few friends, and that's the only time I use a mic in game. I like to use headsets as you can also hear the game, so I sometimes just use my headset to hear the game audio more up close and personal.

Sure, some game companies sponsor LAN parties for people. Some companies and charities do LAN parties. Like LANFest, they do charity work and also lan parties for communities and charity events.

Just saying, inspiration for all forms of media is taken from and inspired by many others.

I replayed the metal gear solid demo over and over as a kid. The first mission of the game. Was so cool. Never actually played the full game, but I did get a copy of it a few years back. One of these days I'll have to play it.

That's pretty much what happened. That game had so many bugs at release, it was sad. I encountered a fair deal myself, thankfully nothing too game breaking or problematic. But there was a lot of ironing out that needed to happen before release. Because it needed a lot of work yet.

I'm not a big fan of Gran Turismo. I understand it's importance in the racing game genre. But I feel like they've been second best for a while now. But that's just my thoughts. I feel like.we hear less and less on GT and more on games like Forza or some other game like dirt. Idk.

I could only get into the first two hellraiser movies. Don't remember any of the ones to follow. Idk I feel it doesn't work as a game anyway. Because doesn't pinhead and his crew show up later in the first movie? I feel like they're briefly there and barely lift a finger. Maybe I need to rewatch the movie one of these days.

A lot of people got it. There's a lot of fans that hoped it will be good. I waited, or am waiting, as I will get it when more fixes are in place. I imagine it's still not in the best shape right now anyway. Plus I can grab it when it goes on sale in the future.

I have not, but will have to check it out one of these days. Thanks. I'm open to many book suggestions, just anything relating to the game development, its history, the people working in the industry and their stories, and so many more.

Are there any trailers you guys saw that hyped up a game, and it turned out to be bad? I remember Dead Island got some hate with how different the story was compared to the cinematic trailer. They tried to make it look like a sad story, but it turned out to not have much of a story at all. I don't even recall if they had cutscenes. If they did I mostly forgot the story.

Yup, unfortunately there's no way to catch every bad culprit. And, there will always be bad mods in the mix and bad owners and bosses. Some of them get caught, but some get away.
