Yeah it had decent graphics, sadly no one was all that interested in the Saturn. It was a case of too late to the party. And I don't think they had many games that dropped in the US. I think it had some better processing power than the ps1, but don't quote me on that. I may be wrong.

They probably will. Scalpers always seem to find a way. I'm passing on the oled model myself. Don't see it being worth the money.

Occlusion Rift, Samsung gear, HTC vive and more. What is the best on the market right now? I've yet to use a vr headset, but I imagine the ones I mentioned are pretty decent. But what is best based on reviews?

What are some mistakes that developers made, but decided to keep in game? I know with minecraft, the creeper was an accident that they just decided to keep in. I think the spy in team fortress was also born from a glitch, but it worked so well they made it into the spy class. Those are the only two examples I can think of. Are there others you know of.

Do you think we'll ever get a sequel to Glover? I heard there was a planned sequel back on the n64, but it was canceled. Maybe Nintendo can buy the property up if they don't own it already. I enjoyed the game, but I did remember the controls being rough to get used to. I'd like a reboot or even a sequel. Would you?

Is there a time of year that you game more often? For me I think I play more often during the holiday season. But otherwise I probably game about the same year round otherwise. What about you?

Game Chasers are a group of friends that make YouTube videos showing their attempts to find rare retro games. They also have a show called the Toy Chasers where they look for toys from their childhood or rare finds. I get into these types of channels because I like to collect games and stuff from the 90s. Do you guys get into this channel? Here's their most recent video: https://youtu.be/8oeDJuGeJLE

Did your parents always get consoles and games that you wanted for Christmas, your birthday or other holidays? I didn't get all the stuff i wanted. I did get a Sega Genesis, Playstation, and 360 consoles over my life. Many games I wanted too. What about you?

Do you have any holiday gaming traditions? Like maybe you play a certain game each year, or have a tournament with family and friends in retro games. I don't really have any traditions to do with video games during the holidays, but I do game more during this time of year. What about you?

Growing up, I was kinda into the X-files, but didn't always watch it because I was always freaked out by it. Even the intro to the show was unnerving for me growing up. Anyway, I got back into the X-files back a few years ago and watched some seasons. I clearly missed a good show. But that's not the point. I'm making this topic to see if there is any good video games based off of x-files? I know there was some X-files games released, but I only watched one lets play and I don't recall if they said it was good or bad. I'm curious to know if any good games exist.

As in breaking it to see if you can access glitches, and sometimes skip segments of a story or location. I know speedrunners often break the game to find ways to completing it faster. But, have you ever broken the game by trying to jump into glitches and other areas that usually aren't accessible?

What would you say was the most you've spent on a video game? Either when you bought it day 1, or when you decided to put money into it later by buying dlc and microtransactions. I know a friend of mine who's put over $1000 in Fortnite. I couldn't do that myself. I buy the battle pass each season, but that's it. He bought tons of skins and other stuff for the Save the world mode. But yeah, most I've spent, was probably on Mafia 2, limited edition. I think it just came with a steelbook case, and an art book and I think the soundtrack as well. It wasn't the greatest limited edition set. I think it was like $80. I'm a cheap person, I never really spent more than that for a video game. It could change, but I don't see that happening soon.

Have you guys ever attempted to hook up any of the new gen consoles to a standard definition CRT TV? You can do it, but you need connections that can convert HDMI into RCA like connections. I've seen some people do it themselves. Like this video below for example: Would you actually do something like this yourself?

With the whole situation with those grading companies (Wata and some other company, I forget) have kinds spiked the prices of retro games. Or so I think they have. Considering that they helped appraise a new in box SMB3 for like over a million dollars, but when someone else tried to put theirs up for auction, they didn't get nearly that much in return. I feel like those companies are trying to inflate the prices of retro games so that they can get the market to turn more profitable. Anyway, I feel like retro games are getting more expensive by the year. Do you guys think that retro games are becoming too expensive these days? Even lose games are getting up there in price.

What are some games you find to be unintentionally scary? Gone Home was kinda scary to me, mainly because it felt so lifeless for some reason. Basically you go around your parents home, while no ones there and investigate why your family isn't there. Or so I think that's what it was, I forget. But yeah, it's just you, walking around this house reading notes and revisiting past events. But it's kinda feels weird when you're all alone in the game, with no one else being around. Other than that, I'd say Skyrim, just because of its difficulty at times. What are some games you found to be unintentionally scary?

With all the drama surrounding game studios and publishers these days, it feels like it's an never ending problem. Big corporate entities that don't care about the people making their products, just continuing to line their own pockets. I have a fear that 2022 will be much of the same, just companies abusing their employees, making horrible decisions, releasing games far too early or unfinished and so on. I feel like we're in a point where this is just going to keep getting worse. What do you think though? Will 2022 be a better year for gaming? Or will it be much of the same?

Gaming can be expensive, but these days there are more and more services offering options to get games on the cheap. Game Pass for Xbox is one that comes to mind right away, as they offer hundreds of games for a max of like $15 a month. You can't go wrong for that, considering it's only $15 for games I probably wasn't going to pay for originally. This way I can play more games. Anyway, that's not the point of this topic. This is in regards to how much you spend yearly on games/consoles in general. This includes subscription gaming services as well. For me, my spending has gone down a lot. I have Game Pass every once in a while, so that's around $15 a month. But some months I don't have it. I also purchased a few games here and there, but I don't tend to buy much. Mostly PC games these days, because of sales and such. Honestly, I couldn't tell you how much I paid on gaming, but I'd say it's probably under $100-$200 or so. Idk, I've been really cheap this year.

I don't. I have 2 powerA pro controllers. One for my Xbox and one for my PC. They're wired controllers though, which I prefer, because wireless controllers are a pain in the ass sometimes. My Xbox one and 360 controllers always died on me or broke down. But these powerA controllers work pretty decently.

Yeah headsets have gotten really cheap these days. You can usually get a fairly cheap mic headset for $20-40 or so. The cheaper the worse it gets, but cheap isn't that bad. Owned a gaming headset for like 3 years that still works. The audio for it isn't that bad either and I only paid like $25 for it.

Yeah RDR2 is full of options for the gamers. You could do a lot in rdr2. It would be even cooler if they allowed you to make your own maps and cities in game. I think that would add a lot of replayability.

Essentially, in my opinion, I consider a game to be a game when there are a few factors: 1. Is there a story? 2. Is there conflict? 3. Is there a challenge you must complete? 4. Is it a puzzle game or more story driven? To me, a game is a game when it combines all of that.

I would say that counts. You're technically journalling about the game when doing that anyway. I'd consider a review good for a journal. Why aren't they public? Just waiting for the time when you're ready to release them to the masses?

If a game is causing you to rage, take a breather, and come back to it later. I've had my share of games I couldn't do anything in. Sometimes taking a much needed break, will usually solve it. I try layer and sometimes it works. Sometimes you're back back to square one though. If you can't ever get through it, it's fine to give up.

Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Of Us, The Walking Dead by Telltale, and a few more that I'm probably forgetting. Oh, maybe rdr2 near the end. I can't think of anything else though.

What surprises me more is that they keep getting away with things. We hear bad things about the gaming industry every day now, and it seems as if no matter what they do, they find a way out of it. Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, Take-Two, and more are becoming the scummy of the scum.
