If I had the money to spend on PC parts, I would try to go for new, but I would also try for used. These days, it doesn't really matter, as even used it's high priced. This shortage is really pushing prices up, and it's not good.

I have this feeling often with some games. Sometimes I get tired of playing a game, and shelve it for a while. But, when I try to come back to it, I always feel overwhelmed or scared to jump back in for some reason. It's a weird feeling, I know. But it's been that way my whole life. For example, I didn't touch MGS 2 for a long time after first playing it, because I felt like I would be overwhelmed jumping back into it. I don't have the feeling as much these days, but I think it ties into the gameplay more than anything. Have you ever had this feeling when it comes to playing some games? It's tough to explain, as I don't understand why I even feel that way about games sometimes. But I think it's like anxiety playing a tough game. But like I said, I think it has to do with bad controls in the past, and me not wanting to deal with that. I'm doubting anyone here has had this sort of feeling with games, but maybe I'm wrong?

Most of us here I imagine don't pre-order games that often. Last game I pre-ordered was GTA V on the 360, and that was the day of release, so idk if I would count that lol. But, I know some people also like to get a special edition set, and I guess I can understand that. But often times, you don't even need to pre-order those. But, what about the games that give you a little something extra when you pre-order? I think it's only worth pre-ordering, when you get an extra thing along with it. Like a figure, a poster, an art book, etc. I feel pre-ordering otherwise, is pointless, because they will produce enough games anyway.

Hell yes! According to Engadget, Germany might block games from being purchased by miners if there is any loot boxes in game. So this means, that any games that do have it, may be forced to up their rating. I don't know how Germany's rating system works, but if this happened in the states, it would probably render games M rated because of this. That would be a big blow to anyone doing loot boxes. I think this needs to happen everywhere. Because it's clear that kids these days still make the mistake of buying stuff by 'accident'. And no matter how you put it, buying loot boxes is essentially gambling, and I'm pretty sure in many states it's illegal to even gamble. I'm kind of surprised the US hasn't took this more seriously. It helps having countries like Germany jumping to take action.

I often steer clear of AtGames devices, as the Sega console they made years ago was awful. And most of their recent releases haven't really been that great. Now they're starting to make their own arcade cabinets, and I sure hope their production quality goes up there, because if they're still facing the same problems, I wouldn't put any money in an arcade machine from them. Have you purchased any devices through them recently? I remember when Sega backed out from working with them for the Genesis Classic that came out a while back. Sega actually made that one, but AtGames were originally hired on to make it happen. But after fan backlash, that was dropped. Do you think AtGames can deliver quality products? I'm not going to bet on it. But I am kind of curious about their arcade cabinets, but that's really about it.

The Guardian Legend was an NES game that I picked up at an old thrift store when I was a kid. I thought the cover was awesome, so I had to grab it. Back then I didn't know what I was grabbing, I just looked at the cover art and hoped it would be fun. Anyway, this game is a classic, but sadly it's been kind of forgotten. Does anyone remember this game? It's a shoot em up that I played for hours on end when I got it. Sadly, never beaten it, but that's just for a lack of trying to complete it.

Well, Metal Gear Solid gave birth to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which was a completely different direction Metal Gear Solid is known for. It was also done by someone else at Konami and not Kojima. But, it's an interesting game in the series that I think is worth checking out. Yeah, GTA doesn't really qualify, as it was its own game. I guess you could say the original GTA top down, gave birth to the 3D GTA series. But I think the topic is more meant to discuss different games that were born from a past game.

Yeah, I remember it being mentioned that 2.5 sized drives work. I know my bigger drive fit, but it wouldn't work with it since it's not the smaller sized HDD that is recommended to use. External drives don't work with the PS2. At least not to my knowledge.

I remember seeing the PSX advertised once, and even remember seeing it in magazines when I was a kid. And then I remember when PS were promoting the PS2, they made a commercial for the PS9 or something like that. Always thought that was weird, but I genuinely wanted to see them reach that. Hell, they're at 5 already, not much longer to god. 😄 But yeah, I would love to have this in my collection one day, but in no hurry to buy one.

That's rich people for you. Look at Linus Tech Tips. I cringe whenever he talks about spending tons of cash on PC stuff. Because I know I will never be able to own any of the setups he has. This was kind of the same way. But, part of me thinks this was a promotion with Sony, so maybe Sony helped front the bill too. I suspect Sony helped in some way. But even so, he probably could afford that no prob with his following. There's a lot of space to work with. Probably could build a few computers in the thing. 😄

I can only imagine, but it's gotta be up there in the thousands at least. Considering the PS5 alone is $500 right? I imagine the rest of the parts and system would cost another $500, if not more.

Yeah, seems odd they would be asking you to wear something warmer in that area, as if that's the starting outfit, you might actually be too warm for that area with it. Do you have any other jackets/coats you can wear instead?

The NFL can always cancel their license if future games underperform. So if this is a continuing trend into Madden 22, 23 and so on, the NFL is probably within their right to say bye bye to EA and go to someone else. Also, EA only has the license to produce sim related NFL games. This is why other NFL games are popping up elsewhere, as those are arcade based. And there was rumors about 2K making an arcade style NFL game in the future. It doesn't necessarily need to be Madden by name. It could just be NFL Football or something like that. I think EA owns the license to using the name Madden anyway. If the NFL gave their license to some other studio/publisher, that studio can title it however they want. It's like how it was back in the day, when Sega had their NFL 2K series. And of course, it will take time for a new game to be made, but that's a given whenever a new studio has a choice to produce a game. If anything, if this happens, it would probably be a year break for football. And EA doesn't bother to update much of anything with their Madden releases. Their recent Madden game is considered the worst yet due to it being a broken mess and nothing new. Their games haven't changed in probably 5-10 years, with repeated animations and even content removed from newer games. I just think it's time for a change, because EA doesn't care.

Was there any Jak and Daxter games on the PSVita? Or was it only on the PSP? I've been on a Jak and Daxter kick as of late and I think I want to pick up the original trilogy again and replay it. And I figure it'd be a great time to also get whatever came out on the PSVita. Oh, and any Ape Escape games on the vita?

Razer has a couple phones that work for gaming. I don't think they worked on two screens, I think Samsung and another company made the dual screen thing. But, the Razer thing might have RGB.

There was this mobile football game that I played for a while. In order to upgrade my team a bit, I paid like $1.99 a few times, so I spent probably $5 on that alone. But other than that and what I previously mentioned in this topic, that is really it for me.

What are some games that were announced years ago, but have yet to be released? Watchmojo put out a top 10 list of games that were once announced, but have either gone dark, or nothing new has happened since. Watch it below. What games on the list do you remember? I remember a few, but some of them I have completely forgot about. Like the Skull and Bones game that's coming from Ubisoft. I thought System Shock was being rebooted though. But yeah, Dying Light 2 and Beyond Good and Evil 2 are the ones I'm most interested in.

Awesome news for those looking to try Rust on a console finally, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be getting the game sometime this spring. Considering spring brings March 20th, I suspect it's very soon. Though, I imagine it'll come out the Tuesday after, or the Friday before. Are you excited for this? I want to give it a try, but I don't know if I can get into it. Source - Gamespot

Whenever you hear about movies getting their own games, you automatically think of all the bad games that came out. From the likes of Fight Club the video game, Enter The Matrix, or ET, what are some of the games that were based on movies that actually turned out to be somewhat decent? One game that I heard people mention, was Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Video Game. I tried to play through it myself, but didn't get to far. I didn't find anything particularly good about it, but it seems to get praise from some. I hear the Godfather game was actually good, but I think that's a bit different, considering the movie came out before video games were even a thing. Also I remember Spider-Man 2 was actually really good for a movie tie-in title. And another like The Godfather, The Warriors got a good game from Rockstar. Can you name any games based on movies that were actually good?

OMG this is sexy! 😍 This PC modder custom build a PS5 that is water cooled. Check our more images of the build here - Video Games Chronicle and watch the video of the build below. I wish I had the money and the skills to make stuff like this. Almost looks like it could be made into a fish tank lol.

And I hear it's actually exclusive titles too. If that's true, that's a good sign for Microsoft. Now, will these games be releasing on just the new gen Xbox consoles? Or will it be released on Xbox One as well? I sure hope so. Microsoft's Director of Program Management said there are unannounced games on the way and will be releasing by the end of the year. What games do you think will be coming out? I'm excited to find out. You can read more about it here - WCCFTech

idk, I kind of disagree. My nephew is in love with the Portal series. He's only 10 years old and has beaten the first game multiple times. I mean, that's just one kid, but I can see many kids being into games like Portal. Oh cool, I didn't know that. Do they make their own maps? Just thought of an idea, a Portal game like Mario Maker, where people can create their own Portal levels that the community can play.

What console are you playing it on? If on the Xbox One, do you have cloud storage setup? Because if so, you can download your most recent saves from the cloud. There is a method of deleting your physical saves files and then re-downloading them from the cloud. I had to do that with a corrupt file. But I would look for guides online first just in case. If it's PlayStation 4, then I am not sure.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. Just rumors. But, they likely will do a pro console around then. But 1TB of space isn't enough for these new gen consoles. I think at this point they need to be 2TB at least. Games aren't getting any smaller. Especially with how one Call of Duty game can reach over 500GBs alone. That storage is nothing.

I don't know if that's true. But I know directors, like Martin Scorsese aren't fans of it. I know there are a few other directors out there who hate the idea of video games too. I just don't see most directors today being against it. Most of the old fashioned directors are up there in age anyway, and I can see a lot of the younger directors being into gaming as well. I don't know if I would say Stephen King was really involved, he probably licenced the rights off, much like he has done with movies. I think when they use the name, it's like how they use Tom Clancy's name for video games. Tom Clancy passed away years ago, but they still title games as such. But, please do correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't recall Stephen King ever working on a video game. Maybe he helped with the story, but that's all I see him doing.
