Gamerant has an interesting article here - https://gamerant.com/grand-theft-auto-6-disappointing-bad-rumor-leak/ About someone who leaked some details about GTA 6. What he said was that people don't understand how chaotic development has been for the game so far. And that if the game happens to be announced this year or in 2022, then we can really be worried. I think what is being implied here, is that development may be struggling to make the game fans really want, and if it's coming out sooner than we expected, we may be in for some problems. As well, it's rumored that the game won't be as funny or edgy, which many fans are worried about. It doesn't help that the political climate is starting to change shows and movies, so now it's starting to make its way into video games. Are you worried that GTA 6 will be a let down?

There are still some Super Mario characters that haven't gotten their own game or games yet. What characters would you like to see get their own games? I know Peach had a game back on the DS called Super Princess Peach, but I don't think we had many other games featuring her as the main playable character. I'd like to see her have her own adventure, away from Mario. Maybe they can do a team-up with Princess Peach and Princess Daisy. I don't think Daisy had her own game. I also wouldn't mind more games from the villains side. We got a Bowser game, why not a game that features the main enemies of Mario, like goombas and koopa troopas. Idk, I think it's be cute to get a game featuring the baddies and their side of the story.

I am not big on the anime stuff myself, but I know there is a huge fandom there. I know most of the popular animes out there have their own video game, at least one. I am mostly familiar with stuff like DBZ, Naruto (never watched it though), Attack on Titan and a few more. What are some anime shows or movies that you'd like to see get the video game treatment? Lets pick out animes that don't yet have their own video game tie-in.

Oh cool! My last 360 I put a buncha stickers on it. I got these stickers when I checked into shows online back in the day, and they would send you a sheet of stickers for all the shows you watched and signed in for. I had a bunch from tv shows like Game of Thrones, Dexter, Community, The League and more. Other than that, I also had a Flight of the Conchords sticker on it. Sadly that consoles disc drive died on me, so I put it in an old box and stuffed it in the closet. I eventually got another 360 that I put one Flight of the conchord decal on, and that was it.

After I rage quit a game, I will often take a break and maybe come back to it, but other times I will be done for a few weeks to a month or more before I try going back to it. Some games can be a bit too tough for me, so taking a break after getting into a stuck spot, is not ideal, but it's better for my mental health lol. But yeah, I a game is causing me too many issues, I usually give up after enough tries. Just not worth it to waste my time if I can't do it. I'll try another day.

I'm interested in finding out what it's all about. I'm assuming it's an alternate timeline. But, they do mention Brainiac is in charge, so he's controlling the Flash. I can only assume that we'll see the rest of the Justice League and maybe the Flash is just one of the first characters you're tasked to kill. But idk, it is titled kill the justice league, but I doubt they'll kill the whole justice league. Did you watch the new Suicide Squad movie? I found it leaps and bounds better than the first one. It was so good, highly recommended. 🙂

Source - https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2021/12/12/sony-patent-app-multiplayer-griefers/ It looks like Sony is attempting to patent a new application for a new system that would take care of trolls and disruptive people in multiplayer games. The article above doesn't go into much detail about how it will catch people being rude and obnoxious, but it does mention that the system will learn and catch certain actions. idk, it's a little confusing to me. But I do worry that it could cause false bands or suspensions. I'm all for more options for games to mute and block those types of people who make trouble, but idk if this is the right route.

I don't know if you guys have already heard about this, but Google Play will be supported on Windows 10 in 2022, as you will be able to play games from the Google Play store. I heard a while back that I think this was coming for Windows 11, but it sounds like Windows 10 is also getting it. Not sure if I really see a need for this myself, but maybe there are some good Google Play games that work good on PC as well. Any suggestions maybe? 😄 Source - https://persiadigest.com/google-play-games-android-games-will-arrive-on-windows-10-pcs-in-2022-google-play-store-microsoft-windows-video-game/

Oh great, first it was Ubisoft with their new NFT service in their upcoming games, and not Peter Molyneux is making a Blockchain Business Sim For those wonder, Peter is the father of the Fable series, and has often lied about the games he released. And part of me is worrying about this, because he seems to be the type to try something like this to make some quick cash. The game was recently announced during an event at the Gala Games’ Galaverse in Las Vegas. The game will be titled Legacy and will be developed by Gala Games. I think this NFT stuff is getting out of hand, and this is going to result in some problems going forward I bet. Just something seems wrong with all of this.

Yeah, I noticed it's kinda hard to recall the boring games, probably because I buried them deep in my mind to forget about the majority of them. What was the issue with God of War? Was it the original game or the reboot that came out the past few years? I played the original 3 games, and I was a fan for the first two and I don't think I finished 3. Never had a chance to play the newer one, but I heard it rocked. I'm going to guess it was the reboot. If so, how did it compare to the original games to you?

Noice! I heard the Astro brand of headsets are really good. I think HyperX were a clone company trying to compete with Astro headsets, but I could be wrong. Ah okay, so just a pair of earbuds or headphones, gotcha. Yeah with newer consoles, you can pretty much pluc in a standard pair of earbuds or a headset and heard the audio from the console. It's how I sometimes watch tv and game on my Xbox One if I have family over and it's late. 🙂

I'd say the ending of Assassin's Creed III. I won't spoil it, but the target, is a lame chase scene that ends in a cutscene. I hated it and it felt like they just decided to rush the ending. Other than that, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Maybe GTA IV, as I remember that final mission really sucking.

It does. I can also sometimes see myself hanging out with these lets players, because they seem to be into the same stuff I am into. So yeah, I can see it being like that for sure. I get that. I kinda got tired of watching some lets players, but there are some that I still check out from time to time. I watch Game Grumps because they can be entertaining, and I also watch Funhaus from time to time. I sometimes watch my bro play, and he'll sometimes do the same if I play. But I mostly watch stuff through YouTube. Nice. I think RDR2 would be a fun game to watch others play. I've played my share of it, but I do like seeing others experience it sometimes as well. Yeah there's that too. Sometimes you can use it to learn how to get through a certain level or area.

Back in the day when character creators rocked, you could be really creative with your designs. Why can't games make a character creator like that of a pro wrestling game? Just look at the amount of wrestling games, they allowed you to make a character anyway you wanted to, and I don't get why other studios can't jump onto that idea. Like, make it so we can make ourselves as we see ourselves. I just want to make a fat, playable character of myself. That's why I wished RDR2 had a character creator that allowed for me to be chunkier, or have so many more options. And that brings up another point, you have to pay for customization options in some online games. Not real money necessarily, but you have to work hard in the game just to make enough to buy a few clothing items and such. But, lets just talk about single player games that have character creators. Most of them are very limited with what you do. Madden for example, is a game that has some of the weakest character creators. There's no depth to it. But NBA 2K has one of the best character creators around, at least in terms of sports games. At least here you can make your guy fat, skinny, tall, etc. But Madden limits you so much, at least when it comes to franchise. I don't want to touch the story mode as I hear those games have awful story modes lol. But yeah, I think you get my point. I just want more customization for characters, mostly in single player games, but I too would love to make myself in an online game, without any limitations of having to buy it with points. Just give us enough to customize our "looks" and you can charge us for the clothing and all that nonsense.

Some of us here have huge collections of games that we may not have played. I have a small collection of games that I have never played yet, and probably never will. I of course don't intend to play every game I own. But, I know some people out there, collect games, and intend to play every single last one of them. Depending on how big your backlog of games is, do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of games you want to get through because of your backlog? Or are you cool with the backlog of games that may never be played?

Has there ever been a time where you ordered a game through a different method, the method of mail ordering? I have never ordered games this way, but I heard a while back, that some video games and video game products were released in short demand through mail order programs. Is that true? I am aware that mail order programs have been around forever. But I heard a while back that sometimes there was exclusive games or releases done through these mail order programs. Is that true? Or was I hearing fantasies about rare games being sold this way?

That's what's to be expected. We knew going into this new gen that the PS4 and Xbox One/One X are going to stop seeing newer games drop. You'll probably still see mostly indie and smaller games on last gen consoles, but it's going to gradually slow down and the focus will be on the newer gen consoles going forward here. It sucks, but that's the nature of console generations.

I think the Just Cause series have some of the most fun and thrilling areas around. The fact that it's also so fast paced and you can zoom around the map with easy, especially in 3 and 4 with the wingsuit. It's so fun to play with the wingsuit. It's just so smooth and fun, and in this massive world, it feels cool to speed through it all. Plus the game looks beautiful and has aged well over the years.

In terms of what GTA V offered, it felt like it was going backwards. GTA IV seemed to have more features and things going for it in the single player side at least. There was a video years ago about how GTA V got rid of a lot of things GTA IV did good, or even better. I'm not saying GTA V is a bad game by any means. I just don't view it as the best game of all time. I think if you have to pick the best out of the bunch, the all around best game would probably be San Andreas. Just for how much it has going for it. It was kinda ahead of its time if you think about it. But, I still find Vice City to be one of my all time favorites because of its story and setting alone. But, I respect your choice, because it is a good game. Just not something I'd view as anywhere near the best of all time. But that's my opinion.

They're already done remasters, but I can't see them doing those as often anymore. Assassin's Creed has been played out far too much, them making a remaster of any of the other games would be pointless. Unless it's Assassin's Creed II: Brotherhood. It worked somewhat in the Assassin's Creed II Brotherhood, I could see it working in a modern setting. Of course it would be a hugely different game, considering guns are a thing, cars, and a full, living, breathing world. But, I think that's a direction they need to go, to kinda change it up some, at least that's how I feel.

Depends on the game, but usually, if it's not self explanatory otherwise, then they should be teaching you what to do next, or at the least where to go next. If a game doesn't give you any bit of direction, then it will just be you pushing buttons until you figure it out. Many games you can pick up, and learn right away. But there are more complex games out there that do need to guide players better at where to begin. At least a short tutorial if the game is that confusing. That's how I see it anyway.

I'm sure a lot of contests like this occur today, but I was reminded of many contests I tried to enter as a kid. Collecting all the points on the back of the koolaid packets, that you had to collect to get prizes. I would try so hard to collect these points to get a prize from their catalog of prizes. I remember one year they were giving away a Gameboy Color for a certain amount of points collected. I never reached the amount needed sadly. I think I got a hat and a tshirt from there, so I didn't leave empty handed. Honestly I'm kinda interested in finding some of these pamphlets and catalogs of prizes just to have that nostalgia trip. This right here: I used to collect those off the back of kool-aid packs just so I could get my hands on a gameboy. DId you guys ever get prizes like this from programs like that? What other games did you get? I got a Who wants to be a Millionaire PC game one year from lifesavers. We thought we won a car, sent the candy in and got the game instead. Parents never took a photo of it either, so we got screwed over I think. But yeah, these programs had so many video games and gaming devices. Sadly I never got any. 😞

Maybe when I was a kid I would have kept a list of all the games I've beaten, but I got lazy as I got older and I never really saw much of a point to count the games I've beaten. And these days, you don't really need to with achievements and trophies. At least in my opinion. Do you guys like to keep a list of all your gaming achievements? Or do you let your mind keep all the fun memories of success to yourself?

What was the most competitive you have ever been while playing a video game? For me, I liked to think I was one of the best at WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain, so I proclaimed I was king of that game, without ever having played it only. It had online multiplayer as well, but we didn't have good enough internet back then. Anyway, I played that game a lot, pretty much mastering it on all difficulties or so I thought. Anyway, it was the most competitive I was at a game. None of my friends could beat me, but I always wanted to challenge other people to the game, but never had the chance. 😞

I'd say I've gone through a ton of headsets at this point. I used to have to get a new pair a lot when I gamed on my 360. These days I have a hyperx headset that I got during black friday. It works good enough. But back in the day I maybe purchased 5-8 headsets alone for the 360. I had to replace a couple on the Xbox One as well. But the one before my hyperx still work, and I owned it for a few years now. How many would you guess you've gone through?
