Vr gaming certainly helps, but I don't see it helping much with online gaming. But I could be wrong.

Thanks, I'll have to check him out. I can't say I've heard of him though, but the name does kinda sound familiar. Like I probably saw his channel somewhere.

I feel like with GTA VI(6) theye really gotta change it up. I'm just tired of the same feel and style. Change it up some. I feel like gta could use a huge boost if they reinvent themselves again. It's too repetitive nowadays.

It's extremely popular right now, i don't get into it much myself, but I know there's millions that watch and attend live events yearly. But the players aren't as famous as movie stars of singers like you said. But the sport seems to be growing in popularity so who knows what's going to happen 5-10 years from now. That's awesome! I wish you luck! 🙂👍

Same here. I can't afford vr yet. But I imagine prices will start to go down in price soon. I saw one of the oculus models was like $299, so prices seem to be going down some. But yeah, too pricey for my blood right now.

If it doesn't cost too much more, I may consider it. But I only really want watchdogs and maybe assassins creed. So idk if it'd be worth it. If it was included in game pass ultimate, than awesome.

Nope, I have never played against an esports player. I would give it a try I suppose, but I doubt I'd win against them. I don't even know if I would try to join an esports league or join a tournament. I can see myself having too much pressure to do an event like that.

I think some people will live in their virtual worlds, but I don't think we'll ever get to a point where everyone will be living in a virtual world where we don't come out of it. I do think that VR will end up being a way to escape from reality, but I don't think it's good for people to stay in for too long. At least not yet. But, I think we'll inevitably will see some communities form to start their own VR community. I could see that happening more than us all living in a virtual world. It'll be more about bring communities together I hope.

Try to find a CRT TV from Sony. They tend to have some of the best CRTs out there. Honestly, I would stick with a CRT, I think they looked better. But I know there was an option to upgrade the PS2 to I think 720p, but I am not 100% sure. I don't know if an HDMI adapter would work, I think you may need to get component. But I'm not 100% sure.

How else we getting the sounds? 😄 Sucks that they waste all that food to get the sound, but then again this has been done for movies, tv, cartoons, and other video games. Sound designers must have a really fun job trying to figure out the best sound effects for their games, movies and everything else.

Oh god, I didn't even think of that. Does make me wonder how many people they killed, because when you wake up in that pit, there's quite a few bodies there. Makes you wonder how Arthur or John survived. (You can encounter them as John if you don't as Arthur).

It'll save you a ton. At $14.99 a month, you get tons of games. Yeah it levels out to $180 a year. Yeah a bit pricey, but consider that buying a game new is either $60-$70. Lets say you buy a brand new game each month, that equals to $60 a game, that would in turn come out to be $720 in the year. I feel $180 is a better loss to contend with than $720 or more.

Well in my case, it was points earned from completing races. So the only way for me to get more points, was to complete more races. Thankfully I have other missions open, but in some of those I need better cars, and in turn can't win because I don't have the needed points to upgrade cars lol. So it's a loop situation where I have to figure out a way to win each race I can.

I get that, but in a way this helps new generations see the game in a new light. I get it's a classic, but a remake doesn't take away from that. I just view a remake as a different/separate game, paying homage to the original classic. Because let's face it, new generations of gamers aren't going to know what a NES console is. The new generation of gamers don't even know what a cartridge is. But that's ok, because Nintendo has the ability to release their classic games to their storefronts. Which means, they don't even need to remaster, or remake the game if they don't want to.

I think they're more like energy drinks than alcoholic. Though I imagine there are a good amount of gaming themed alcoholic drinks out there, but I wouldn't know of any. Also, I know there are foods themed around video games. Some are just food with gaming packaging and stuff like that.

Eh, not a fan of Markiplier, and I didn't know he did any history style videos. I'm mainly looking for stuff like the Gaming Historian, who talks the history of gaming, and doesn't use comedy or other things. I just like hearing the history of gaming from people who know what they're talking about, and don't use comedy or make it weird if that makes sense?

I feel like this topic has already been done, but whatever. My favorite gaming moment, would probably be my very first experience with video games. I'm pretty sure it was with SMB1 or SMB3. I don't remember exactly, but I remember it being Mario bros. That memory alone is one of my favorites growing up.

I'm starting to see them that way too. I know they're just about the money at this point. It's quite sad, but I have to blame it on Take-Two. They're the ones pushing for online I imagine, and it's what ruined RDR2 online for me. Having to grind is no fun. Not only that though, I too hate that they are stopping people from modding the single player. Hell, allow them to mod multiplayer as long as they are in their own private servers. If they're so worried, don't allow the money from private servers to jump into any public ones. Boom, solved. I wouldn't say Team Bondi's closure was on Rockstar. Team Bondi is technically the reason they failed. Supposedly the leader of the studio was awful and forced his team to work long hours and unpaid overtime. Something along those lines. There's a slew of videos and articles about how poorly Team Bondi's leaders treated their team. I'd say it was mostly their own fault, but Rockstar could have saved them too I imagine. And yeah, after the remastered trilogy fiasco, I think they really need to start producing quality content again, otherwise fans are going to start falling off their bandwagon.

Same. I haven't purchased a game new in a while. I think I did get a few games new, but they were already cheaper. I just can't justify $60 or even $70 most of the time for a lot of the games. Hell, GTA remastered came out for $60 and we all know how much of a mess that turned out to be. 😞

That's possible. Did you ever watch R rated movies growing up? I remember my brother and I watching Terminator when we were kids, before really playing any violent video games. So maybe. I used to do that a lot in GTA games, and even the Hitman games. I would go around killing everyone. But these days I don't do that, I like to play the right way.

Nice, I'll have to check it out then. I have gamepass and haven't been using it all too much anyway. I have tried the Souls games myself, and I lose patience with them fast. I am not one for learning tells and moves, so I don't do so well with them. But if I can put this game on easy, then I suppose I'm going to play this next weekend.

I guess the fan backlash to NFTs as of late, has kept Sega 50/50 on the whole matter. At one instance, they are looking into the idea of using NFTs, but they are first going to make sure it's something that they can do and do right for the gamers. I am not for NFTs in games, but it's kind of a nice change of pace to see a company taking it cautiously and aren't rushing to jump into the NFT game. But, my bet is that they too will jump into the NFT game and we'll all end up hating it. But, it seems Sega is the only one who does see the fan backlash from it, so who know what could happen. My guess is we'll see NFT style systems everywhere in the coming years. I hate the idea, but I think it's going to end up replacing microtransactions as we know them. I worry that NFTs will be the main way to get digital items in games going forward. And I don't know how that will change the gaming world.

Well it seems that Steam isn't having any issues with Epic Games and other storefronts popping up, because they have set a new record for the most concurrent users using a service. With 28 million concurrent users. That's a pretty damn big number. Just goes to show how huge PC gaming really is when you think about it. Especially through Steam.

I wouldn't say esports draws a huge fandom, but there are fans of it for sure. Do you think you could handle the stardom that comes with being a pro esports player? I don't think I could do the public spotlight much. I could handle some of it, but I think eventually I would tire of the who idea of it. I'm a private person, and don't like to be shown to the world, so I don't think I'd be able to stay involved for too long. But what about you? Could you handle being an esports star?

Has anyone here built their own arcade cabinet? I think it'd be a lot of fun to build my own. It'd probably be fairly easy to set one up, aside from me not having the carpentry skills to build my own stuff. All I would need otherwise is a LCD monitor or HDTV that could fit into a cabinet, and then I could use a raspberry pi and that would be all I'd really need. Of course I'd need to get some kind of arcade controllers setup. The only issue I'd have is the cabinet side of it. Has anyone here built their own arcade?
