You are correct. The DLC for most games will only work in the country the game originated from. So if you bought an import game from Japan, the only way to get the DLC for it, is to somehow convert your console to work in Japan. That's one risk you take when it comes to import games. You can still play them on your console, just can't play the DLCs for it. And US DLC won't work with it either.

lol I'll keep that in mind. I got enough cement blocks, so I'd be covered there. 🙂 You want to make a handheld version? I want to make an actual arcade cabinet that matches the size of traditional cabinets. I think that would be cool. and would look cool too. 🙂

Yeah, currently it's pretty small. I think you can only select between a few fighters at the moment too. The ones that weren't selected in the video, are currently not playable, or so I've heard. I hear more is being added to it though, as it is still early access I believe.

Some places will take returns, but most people don't bother as the cost to ship back is way too high, so you're probably better off keeping whatever games you import. Fair, but whenever I look at importing anything, I don't usually intend to send it back. Even if it happens to not be what I'm looking for, I am stuck with it. I wouldn't dare ship an item back overseas, as it's just too much of a hassle and costs way too much. It's kind of the gamble you take when you buy anything overseas, as if it's broken, it's probably best to just move on.

You make a lot of great poins. I feel the same way in regards to humble bundle in general. I've purchased a few myself, but I can't ever see myself subscribing to their choice service, because I feel like I would have too much to play and no time to play them all. So for me, it'd probably be pointless. But, I have used codes from humble bundle for giveaways, so that's another option you could use it for if you want. 🙂

And on top of that, the newer movie is pretty bad. I would understand if it was based around the first movie, but even so, I can't see this franchise working as a game. It's got the zombies and all that, but I don't feel it works in video game form. As for movie tie-ins. idk, I feel like they're becoming less and less these days. Most of the movie based games I'm aware of these days, happen to be cheap/free mobile apps.

I've been wanting to pick up one of those Elgato streaming boxes to stream console based games, but it's like $150 and I can't be bothered. Plus I figure I could just stream my PC gameplays and just forget about consoles for now. Are there any alternatives to the Elgato devices?

This is probably old news by now, but the new Harry Potter game that is coming out, called Hogwarts Legacy will allow you to customize your voice, body type, gender placement etc. I'm all for this. I welcome more games where you can customize every detail about your character. It's why I wanted options like this in RDR2 and even Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk has those types of options, but it's very limited. I always try to make myself in game, so a fat dude with a beard. But most games I see don't give me such an option. It's usually skinny or semi chubby characters. A character creator like what all those wrestling games have, would be huge in most games today I think. And adding the ability to make your character any way you want, is cool. More games need to do this I think. What do you think? You can also read about this news here - Bloomberg

Looks like we're getting a new Zombieland game, this time in VR and it kind of looks fun. I couldn't stand the most recent movie, so here's hoping this game is at least fun to play. From the trailer it does look kind of fun, but kind of looks more like a mobile game to me. What do you think though?

For those who are unaware, Starlink is a new internet provider that is made by Elon Musk and team at SpaceX. It will utilize a ton of satellites that they plan to put up in space, which is supposed to give you the ability to get internet pretty much everywhere. This means areas with no internet, could have some form of internet. Now, I saw a video on Starlink by Linus Tech Tips, and he said you can stream 4k content and play games, but it's not the best experience. But that's not the point, it will give people all over the world a stable connection. Anyway, this brings me to the game streaming platforms, like Amazon Luna and Google Stadia. There are others, but these two seem to get the most coverage right now. Anyway, do you think these services could work with Starlink? I'm going to guess no, because of the way game streaming runs, it needs a constant stable connection, and with Starlink I don't think you will get that. You can play games, but it isn't perfect, so I can only imagine it being even worse on starlink. But, who knows, maybe Starlink will get so good, that streaming games would be no problem. But what do you guys think?

Neil Druckmann voiced his opinion recently about people asking for updates on future projects. But, while saying so, he mentioned there is several cool things that they can't wait to share. I don't see it being a new Last of Us yet, but maybe they're going to bring back Jak & Daxter. I would love to see that happen. What do you think they have cooking?

This game looks like a lot of fun. Supposedly it's a sword fighting game, that uses real methods to fight/defend with a sword or other blades. I believe it's in early access right now, but it looks pretty tough to get the hang of.

Here is a video of 7 terrible video games that we should play or check out. Did any games you like make the list? Would you play any of these games? I know of Big Rigs, but I don't think I'd ever play it lol. They even say a sequel is in the works lol. The only other I know on this list is God Hand. God Hand looks like a lot of fun though. Probably rare and crazy expensive.

So I heard there was a Deadpool game that came out years ago, sometime before the movies with Ryan Reynolds came to be. I never played the Deadpool game that came out on 360/ps3 and then was remastered for last gen consoles. Is it worth checking out? And is it as good as the comic books and the movies? I know Nolan North even did the voice acting. Do you guys think it's worth picking up?

Has anyone here subbed to the Humble Bundle Choice service? I think it gets you a slew of games you can get each month. I checked their plans, and they have three. The first one is the trove access, and I think it gets you a list of games in that area for $4.99 a month. The Basic plan gets you 3 games a month for $14.99 and the premium plan nets you 12 games (original 9 for $19.99) for a total of $12 a month. Not a bad deal. But does anyone here sub to this service? Is it worth it?

Gamepass has become huge for Xbox and Microsoft that I'm starting to see newer games pop up on it more often these days. We already get exclusive releases day one for no additional cost, and I've seen other new games (non exclusives I think) coming out on gamepass. Do you think that more new releases from 3rd party publishers/teams will come out earlier on gamepass than usual? I do wonder if at some point, all new releases will be added in. That's dreaming on my end, but it would be cool.

Yeah, I try not to buy from key resellers, as I've heard horror stories of people selling stolen codes, so when they redeem them, it ends up closing their account. There's just a lot of risk with it. If you must buy from a key reseller like g2a or anywhere else, make sure you're buying from a reputable seller, as anyone new is a big risk. Even then, you could end up with a stolen key. Best bet, is to buy right from the marketplace the game is available on, or through the publisher even. I know that means paying full price, but I'd take that over possibly losing my account.

This is what it looked like being played. I believe it played pong like games, so to change it up, you'd buy overlays to put over your tv screen. So instead of pong, you can pretend you're playing soccer lol. Back then it was probably revolutionary. Basically it didn't do much. But hey, first console made is still impressive.

The first one wins for me because of nostalgia mostly. I think some would argue the 3rd game was when it kind of hit its prime though. I think it had to do with the advanced gameplay, graphics and the amount of characters the game saw. But I've mostly played the first game and most of the Trilogy set that came out on the PS1.

What's going on with Capcom? Last I heard they're doing pretty good, considering they got a couple new Resident Evil games coming. Konami is still alive as well, albeit they've made dumb decisions in recent memory, but they haven't gone anywhere yet.

Also if I remember correctly, there was a lot of menus and stuff you had to mess with. It felt like too much was being thrown at me, so that was another reason for me. Oh yeah, the box is a huge thing about MGS. I would use the box often in the second and 3rd game to hide from enemies. I think MGS5 added other options, like the ability to put up a carboard standup of yourself to distract enemies. Fun stuff like that.

Covid strikes again, and Comic-Con has been cancelled for physical appearances this year, but there's a chance 2022 will see it back to being in person again. Anyway, virtual is a good alternative. I have a feeling most events in 2021 will be virtual, at least until the world gets their share of the vaccine. Which could be a while. You can read about this news here - IGN

Which Mortal Kombat game do you think would be considered the best? I think it'd be a bit tough to decide, as I can see fans picking various games. I grew up with the first few games, but didn't keep up 100% with the series. I know some fans would say some of the later games are better. What do you think though? Which one is the best of the series?

Have you made a Mario Maker Level that was nearly unbeatable? Of course, you need to be able to complete your own level, but other than that, has anyone else completed the level you made? I have never made my own level yet, as I only briefly played the game myself, but I am curious to know if you guys made any tough levels? If you did, feel free to share your codes or whatever to the levels. Because someone here would be into trying them out. 🙂

Which out of these three racing series do you prefer better? Or any other kart game not mentioned. I know Garfield had a Kart racing game. Hell, you can even include that Burger king kart game that came out years ago. What is your favorite kart series? Maybe it's Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Crash Team Racing or something else. What would you decide? Personally I played more of Mario Kart than any other Kart themed racing game. What would you pick as your favorite kart game if it's not the main three mentioned?
