The reason we're so hesitant about nfts, is that we know the gaming industry will find ways of abusing it and gamers will end up being screwed over in some way. It just feels like that's the course things will take.

Yeah I really need to start purchasing from GOG instead of steam. I'm guess I'm just so used to buying from one place that I forget gog is a viable option.

Narrative based games are my jam. If it doesn't involve me doing a ton to advance the story, I'm good. This looks pretty good.

Who or what studios would you like to see work on a Harry Potter game, or even a HP MMO?

Yeah, you don't have to be a fan of pro wrestling to get into wrestling games. I know people who love WWF No Mercy or WCW Vs NWO Revenge on the n64, and they can't stand wrestling otherwise.

It feels like everyone is jumping into nfts. There's even rumors now that YouTube wants to give their creators the options to use nfts. Idk how that would go.

First PC game I remember playing was probably something for the commodore 64. But I don't remember any games. First game I do remember is probably that impossible contraptions or whatever it was called. Played that in school a ton growing up.

L.A. Noire is true to the location and kinda the time, but it doesn't tell a true story by any means. But it was still inspired by true events I imagine.

Depends on the person. Some people prefer to have an easier time, while others like a challenge.

That's not really how it works. Most remakes or updated graphics, don't take a huge amount of time to do. I mean a lot of remasters just make things pretty. But that doesn't take a too much time. Now if they rebuilt it all from scratch, then I'd understand.

The point of preservation is to make sure we have access to those long gone games, years from now. Many DOS games for example are lost to time, because they never got backed up anywhere. It's sad to think, because there are probably so many classics we'll never get to play, because they were released in a small batch and the master file is long gone. That's why whenever I see old PC games, ones on thin floppies for like DOS, COmmodore etc. Because who knows what games you may find out there in the wild that may end up being rare or something.

In the future, I think I'm going to try to use a broadcaster mic and headphones. I feel like my mic lasts longer if it's not connected to my head, so I'd use a mic stand instead and a different pair of headphones.

I'd like to add, any game where you have to climb a massive mountain, cliff, etc is always exciting to me. I like seeing heights in games, but in real life, no thanks lol.

Yes PS Now, that's what I was thinking. It is similar, but I do second your opinion that Gamepass has more to offer. But, PS Now could get better. I heard rumors a while back that they are still working on making backwards compatibility a possibility. If they can make it possible for all past games to work, that'd be awesome. If they can get some of the games on PS Now, that'd be a big get for them.

Location redesign is fine in my opinion. And I understand character design in some regards. It's fine to have a redesign to match current graphics, but we shouldn't move too far off from the look of a character. It should still make sense.

If games offered a nice bonus for pre-ordering, I'd say it'd be worth it. But most pre-orders give you shit. I don't count stuff like DLC, bonus skins, soundtracks or other digital stuff. Because you can only use those for a limited time, in a game that you'll play for a limited time anyway. Personally, if they give you a poster, an art book, and extra physical goodies for pre-ordering, then it'd be worth it. But for just getting the game early, or extra DLC, I never feel it's worth it.

I have not, but I am aware that many people do create their own games through it. And I'll admit, I've seen my nephew playing some of these games, and it's quite impressive that this game is allowing kids and adults create their own games. It's just nice seeing kids learn to code and make games by utilizing games like this. There are some quality ideas utilized on Roblox, and I respect that aspect of it. But, I'm not really into the act of playing them. But if it helps create future developers, more power to the ones who enjoy it.

Um, not sure what you mean. Reaction time is just how quick you are to react to your surroundings. Like when playing a video game, and an enemy is shooting you from behind, you then know you have to react by turning to that enemy to return fire. Not sure where controlling emotions come into play here though.

A good trailers sells the story, the characters, some cinematics, but mostly gameplay to see what we're getting. Cinematic trailers are dope and all, but they don't give you an actual picture of what this game will play like. Game trailers are much better, because it shows you what you can expect. And hey, give us details about the story and characters to sell it more.

Because I don't ever feel I need to. Most games I get are already out for years and I mostly touch games on gamepass or ones I already own. I get most of my other games through sales online. Plus, it's about a half hour to an hour drive and the weather has been shit lol. I am kinda tempted to see what figures and other items they have for sale.

Marble Madness is a pain to play on a standard NES controller. I think it was really meant for a joystick controller or one with an analog. I don't think we had any analog controllers back then. But I think this game would play a lot better with one.

You also have to consider that schools now have esports leagues of their own. There's a real possibility that they may include an "intro to gaming" or something like that in schools, just to get kids ready for the esports side of it. But of course, it wouldn't be a requirement or anything, just an option for kids if they want. I don't see it getting to a level like computer class or music class, but maybe you'll see coding/programming classes and more of the creative side of gaming.

Those side quests help out a lot though in terms of upgrading your character, vehicles or whatever else the game allows you to do. Think Cyberpunk 2077. Doing sidequests help a lot with growing your character. Skipping them is fine, but you may not be at your best potential when you go up to the main story.

I think the only thing I can remember, wasn't in an MMO game, but maybe when I played gamed like Yahoo checkers, pool and other games. And I would encounter people who would forfeit a game or leave it up on their move and never finish the match. That was annoying.

If I had to pick an average for me, I'd say maybe 5 games a year at this rate. And sometimes I re-play the same games, so idk. When it comes to brand new games, I'd say it's probably less than that.
