I figured most who have watched Squid Game would know what I was referring to, considering that there have been a ton of games made that were inspired by it already. Literally copying the green light red light scene from the show, as well as other games from the show. Here are some examples: Here's another for example that was made through Roblox (May have offensive language, watch at your own risk): And a list from IGN:

I think it depends on the game. I think these days, I'm more used to regenerating health, probably because of games like COD. But I also enjoy games where you have to be extra careful and have to find health in the world or scavenge for it. But, I think it's more of a challenge with having to keep track of your health. For me, I don't mind either. But I like when regen health makes sense, like in games where it has a purpose. Maybe it's in a mech suit, or something along those lines. But if it's like COD, I think it becomes a bit lazy. But, they have changed it up recently where you can use medkits I think.

I didn't see a topic for this one yet, and the game seems to have been a thing for a little over 3 years now, but according to steam it just dropped November 4th. I saw a recent stream of it from OneyPlays and I honestly was sold on it. I thought it was cool that you could customize every single inmate, and edit their names, looks and more and you can also create up to three gangs to have inmates be a part of. Sadly, it doesn't look like it has multiplayer, but maybe that will be added in a future update.

Does anyone feel like video games are becoming too casual and or easy? I'm all for easier games coming out, as I am one to just play for the story and gameplay. But I don't want to see games made too easy to appease us either. Ya know what I mean? Just give me an easy mode for a tough game, and I'll be happy. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Are we seeing less and less easier or casual games? Or is it about the same?

And for a whopping $1.6 million. The lawsuit in regards to a YouTuber that goes by the name of Ruben Sim, who they say he created a "cybermob" and has posted terroristic threats. Even going as far to make fun of the YouTube headquarters shooting that happened back in 2018. His threats have even shut down the Roblox Developers Conference this recent October. You can read more about this news here - https://hypebeast.com/2021/11/roblox-sues-youtuber-ruben-sim-terrorizing-platform-1-6-million-damages I'm not a big Roblox guy, but I know this game is played my a ton of kids, so probably for the best this guy is nowhere near it anymore.

I've been playing fortnite more as of late and I was getting into the death runs people make. A lot of them are fun, but the ones I run into tend to be trolley levels. Do you guys have any suggestions for death runs to try out? I think you can make a code to share your creations. I want to make my own, but I don't know if I have the patience for making them. So, if you guys have any suggestions for death runs to play, please do list the codes for them in here. A friend of mine made one recently, and I don't know if he made it public yet, but when he does, I'll see if he's cool with me posting it here.

I remember seeing many clips on YouTube of people playing certain songs with the guitar playing option in The Last of Us Part II. Has anyone here been able to make their own works through it? Or maybe did some covers of popular songs? Here's an article about the making of this mechanic: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/11/26/fine-tuning-the-last-of-us-part-iis-interactive-guitar/ Thought that was a fun read. And here are some songs played through TLOU2 guitar mechanic.

Well first off, we need to make it a reality where everyone can actually afford VR headsets to take advantage of all of this. To my knowledge, Meta will be a virtual hub or something where everyone will go. Honestly I like the idea, but then again, it's Facebook so yeah. Not a fan really. But, it's bound to happen either way. Whether it be Facebook and Meta that does it, or some other company making waves in virtual reality. We're going to see some virtual hub like system by someone. But in the long run of it, they need to make VR more affordable, otherwise it'll be a small group of hobbyists using it mostly. At least in my opinion. Then again, VR seems to be going down in price at least. So maybe it's sooner than we thought. I think some people will find comfort in something like this honestly, but I don't know if everyone will use it.

I used to game with my mom and sister when I was a kid. These days they don't really game all that much, which kinda sucks, but now my nephew has become a gamer, so I often game with him on Fortnite and some COD games. But other than that, most of my family doesn't bother much with gaming.

And before anyone says that we already have it, yes I know. Microtransactions and loot boxes have pretty much been our version of gambling in games. But, with the recent news of sports betting blowing up as of late, it got me thinking that video games could be the next one to offer some sort of real gambling. I hope it never happens honestly, because the whole idea is dumb. If it were to happen, they wouldn't be able to let any of these games go to kids and they'd for sure have to find a method of making sure those playing are actual legal adults. But, do you think there's a possibility this can happen in future video games? Or maybe we'll start to see games released with gambling options. What do you guys think? Could this be a real possibility? Also, I'm not referring to gambling on video games themselves, as in betting on a game between people. I'm referring to actual gambling options built into the games themselves, where you can win money playing the game. Sorry in advance if this has caused any confusion.

I know speedrunning is a popular thing on twitch and YouTube, and a lot of the big time speedrunners tend to break the game on purpose to get through the game faster. Has anyone sat through these speedruns? Have you ever attempted a speedrun? Has anyone here ever achieved the fastest time in a speedrun like this? I've wanted to try a speedrun where the purpose is to break the game to get ahead. But I doubt I have the skills to do it. Do you know any popular speedrunners as well?

Game Jams, are those events where people make quick games in a short period of time, and whoever makes the better overall game, will win an award or bragging rights, idk. Anyway, are there any Game Jam games that turned out to be a hit? And are there any that turned into bigger and better games later on?

Has anyone here played this game? I see it's currently on game pass, and I saw some short gameplay videos of it in action. It looked fairly decent, but I have yet to play it. From what I heard, you have 12 minutes to solve why a cop comes to your house to arrest your wife, and if you die, you repeat the same day over and over until you figure out what the mystery is all about. I'm surprised no one posted about it here, I heard it was a good game. It also stars Willem Dafoe, Daisy Ridley and James McAvoy. Here's the trailer as a refresher in case anyone forgot.

The Netflix show Squid Game was a massive hit, it helped inspire many to make copy-cat games based on the show in video game form. A lot of them look awful and probably play bad, but there was a few of them that looked playable at least. Are there any good squid game video games out there? As well, maybe other games inspired by it or other games similar to it? I'm open to suggestions. 😄

So far what Netflix seems to offer, are mobile games you can get on google play and apple play store. But so far I haven't heard any plans to make console games or PC games, but will Netflix eventually support bigger and better games for those devices? I just hope they don't focus their attention on just mobile games or small time games. Give us something as big as your big shows. If they can make that happen, they would add a ton to their service. Do you think we'll see Netflix shows/movies getting their own games as well? I believe Stranger Things will get a game, but they already have games on pc and consoles already for it. What other series and movies do you want to see get a Netflix game?

I highly recommend playing it. I found it really relaxing. Essentially all you do is put away things. But as each level progresses you go through years of life. Moving into your childhood bedroom, dorm room, back home, a new house, having a kid, etc. It may be a kid friendly game, but adults would for sure get into playing this too. You start from I think like 1996, and go until like 2014. I forget, but you get the point. As you get to newer levels, you're responsible for unpacking each room, setting it up, etc. That's it. But you have to put things in there correct location, but it mostly gives you freedom to put things where you want. It's a short game, but I played it twice. Second time was to get all the achievements, but each time was relaxing. And I may replay it again one of these days. Calling it just a kids game is doing it a disservice in my opinion though, because there seems to be a story about love, loss and growth at the core of this game, and you see it played out through the stuff you unpack. It's fun seeing the time differences, setting up an old win 95 like PC, seeing its pixelated desktop as it starts up. It's the little things. Honestly give it a solid playthrough, I think you guys would really enjoy it.

Sonic Forces was a game I wanted to actually get, but after seeing the reviews and videos about the game, I realized it wasn't for me. Check the video above about the making of the game and how it came to be and basically what happened to cause the game to fail. Do you think the sonic team can rebound from this? Will we finally get a good Sonic game again?

This right here, couldn't have said it better myself. Pre orders usually don't give you a whole lot otherwise, maybe some dlc and other stuff, so it's nice to see some giving people early access for pre-ordering. I don't care much for pre-ordering myself, but for those that want it early, I think it's a great deal for them. I think it's better than having a beta honestly. Give me the game early if you want my money now.

I imagine it's around 12 hours or more. When I game, I game for hours, but I'm by no means a pro gamer. That's a good question, because I don't know either lol. I assume they join or start their own teams. That's how I see the first teams starting up. But now I hear high schools across the US are starting their own esports teams, groups and clubs. So that may be how most get started these days. Wish I was more social, cause I think it'd be fun running an esports team. Just not playing on it.

Yeah I get that. But with the current games, to my knowledge they are all releasing digitally anyway. I'm risking not being able to play all games, and I'm okay with that. Plus they have the backwards compatibility for some games, and I believe those all can be purchased digitally, but I may not be correct on that. My other issue with the series s, is since it doesn't have a disc drive, it would be rendered useless if the console ever loses support, which it inevitably will. Which I kinda accept. Plus, it seems they will make sure to make future consoles backwards compatible, which means we should be able to re-download the games we get on the og Xbox & 360 ( through backwards compatibility for some games available digitally), Xbox one and series s/x. I bet this console will see even cheaper price tags soon. So if anything, it's pretty much a budget console. Plus game pass probably sells a ton of them. But honestly, I think I'm okay with the limitations, because I mostly expect to play Xbox series x/s games on it anyway, and those all should get digital releases and work on it.

Games with tight time limits bug me. Can't stand being rushed to complete a mission. As well, I can't stand when you have to make precise movements to get to certain areas or progress. Also, anything that requires luck to get through, bugs me as well. Also, if something is excessively tough, and I can't get through it, I just give up. I found that I have very little patience for hard games these days. I just want to play and have fun. I'm not much for a challenge these days. I think it's because I work a lot and don't get much free time to game. But I still find time, just prefer something that doesn't take me ages to get through.

Not really. I'm very aware what's going on around me most of the time. I do get into the games I play, but I don't get so fixated on them that I lose track of the day or when I receive a phone call or someone comes over. I'm also constantly checking the clock so I don't play too much. But I can understand some focusing more on the game that they lose track of time.

Didn't see these deals posted anywhere yet, and since this deals will probably last into the weekend I figured I'd share them here.

I imagine that most esports players play hours on end each day, much like any gamer who does nothing but game. But I think they do a lot more than that. Myself as a casual, couldn't handle the long hours of gaming esports players have to do these days. I imagine they are playing most of the day, probably streaming as that would be smart to do if you plan to train for long hours anyway. But, how many hours a day do you think they game to just train?

Honestly, I'm kinda leaning towards getting a series s than an x right now. The price difference is also key, as I saw some stores selling it for $299.99 for black Friday. Plus, I don't need all the fancy stuff the series x offers. I don't buy games physical all that much anymore and I mostly use gamepass anyway. I just don't see the need for a series x right now. Maybe down the road I'll get a series x, but I don't need anything fancy.
