Sure, there has been a few games where I gave up close to the middle, and sometimes even near the end. One game that comes to mind is the sims 3. I played it for hours and then just stopped. I always told myself I'd come back to it, but never did. Currently I'm having that with Cyberpunk 2077, as I haven't played it in a couple weeks now and still have a ways to go. Red Faction Guerilla was another game I played nearly until completion and then I stopped. That I have an excuse for, as I rented it one time and never ended up getting the game again to beat it. But yeah, I've invested in a lot of games and I end up quitting some of them. Shadow of the Colossus is another game I nearly completed but dropped it one day and never revisited it. Well I did about 5 years or so ago, but ended up dropping it again lol.

Source - MSN Even with all the scalpers cutting into their profits, Sony still amassed $2.6 billion in profits from PS5 sales. Das a pretty heft number, and will continue to go up for sure. Once these scalpers are cut from the equation, I can see Sony making a hell of a lot more.

What are some fitness based games that are actually kind of fun? I just want something that can provide a workout, but also be fun to do. I was thinking about the Just Dance series, but I'm not a fan of flailing around trying to match moves. Do you guys know of any fitness/workout games that can be fun to do?

Kind of wish I was in school now days with how video games are today. I'd like to learn about the past through RDR2. 😄 Though I can say I already did! But still, I like the idea of video games being used to teach people. Next they could do games like Call of Duty even.

It seems Microsoft isn't done messing with the dashboard, as they may be releasing a new dashboard update soon. There is rumors that MS want to do a design overhaul for Windows 10, which means they might eventually do the same for Xbox's side. Xbox Infinity thinks that this will result in the Xbox getting yet another dashboard update. I just hope it's not too much of a change, because I'm used to how it is now. Tired of them always changing things around.

Esports is getting huge, and likely will get even bigger in the coming years. But do you think it'll surpass actual sporting events? I am already seeing packed arenas when it came to past sporting events, and I think once covid goes away, we'll end up seeing packed venues again. But, could it one day overtake sports? I believe it's possible, but I'm not sure.

Another game that comes to mind, that is somewhat similar to Minecraft, is Rust. In that game, you need to build stuff, eat food, drink water, deal with other players and so on. I haven't played it, but have watched people play it, and it looks like fun, but also looks like it'd make me angry to play lol.

Oh, didn't even know. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂 I hope not, I would love to get my hands on the Spider-Man games at the very least. 😄 Not yet, but it's one I am hoping Sony releases on PC.

I'm more concerned why there hasn't been a Dead Island 2 yet. I remember when that was announced and it's taken longer than Dying Light 2. But, I think we can safely say Dead Island 2 is probably done for, and I can see Dying Light 2 making it out eventually. And yeah, I blame covid on a lot of things, and this probably added to the long wait.

How modded was it? I'm curious to know if it was any good. I mean, if it's still SA, but a modded version, I could see it being something interesting to check out. Sometimes they get creative with bootlegs.

You are correct, but they're still supporting the releases of 3rd party titles. They are rumored to have 100+ games coming from 3rd party devs/studios. This article will explain that they're focussing on 3rd party partnerships - https://gamecrate.com/stadia-shuts-down-development-studio-focuses-3rd-party-partnerships/26528 And this article mentions the 100+ games coming to Stadia yet - https://cogconnected.com/2021/02/100-games-google-stadia-year/ So Stadia is not yet done for, they're just not producing their own games for the platform, instead, they're looking for studios to produce games for them. I wouldn't doubt Google buys up a couple studios to make it easier on themselves.

Have you ever mistakenly purchased a bootleg version of a game? I know cart based games were copied and made into bootlegs a lot, and some were pretty close to the real thing. I can't say I've ever purchased a bootleg game. I'm pretty cautious about the games I buy. But I've seen some bootlegs and fake copies.

There is going to be some PlayStation exclusives coming out for PC soon, starting with Days Gone. I'm sure you've all heard about this, but there are rumors that many other games will be coming. I just hope the Spider-Man games and God Of War are released, because I will jump at those. It looks like those games will be dropping on Steam, as you can currently check out Days Gone on steam here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1259420/Days_Gone/ thought it's not yet available for pre-order. So with that being said, what PS exclusives would you like to see drop on PC? I think Death Stranding was among the list of possibilities. I wouldn't mind God of War of course, but I would even welcome PS3 and PS2 games. What games would you like to see pop up on PC?

In your opinion, what is the best sonic game ever? Personally I have a fond place for the original Sonic game, as well as Sonic & Knuckles, and Sonic Generations, but the rest I've mostly forgotten about. Don't get me started on Sonic 06 lol. But, what would you consider to be the best Sonic game ever? What would your top 3 or 5 be?

You know, it's weird that this game doesn't get as much praise as some of the other Mario games out there. Similarly to my Mario Kart 64 topic, I wanted to start a topic for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Reason why, is because I feel this game is overlooked by many. In fact, I didn't even know about it until my teen years. I was only aware of Super Mario World and not the sequel. I actually just got the game like 5 or so years ago and played it for the first time around then. It's so much different from the first SMW game, that I think that's a big reason why. Playing as Yoshi and baby mario is fun, but I feel like fans didn't enjoy it as much, though I could be wrong. Anyway, what do you guys think of this classic? I wish it was a bit more popular these days, because from what I have played of it, it's a fantastic game.

Well I kind of saw that coming. Bioware was working on some changes for Anthem that were expected to release soon, but they instead have decided to cancel these changes and move on. Sad news indeed, but I don't think this game would have rebounded. The user base was so small, that I doubt people would have jumped back into it. Bioware's focus will instead will be moved to Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles. The good news though, is that they plan to keep the servers active. But who knows how long that will be.

Ah I didn't know that about MK64. That sounds very annoying. But I guess it makes sense considering not many people talk about the N64 Mario Kart much.

It was a great show. Are you referring to another season of Black Mirror, or a show that is similar to Black Mirror?

Stardew Valley is more of a harvest moon clone or was inspired by it. So more of a farming game. Terraria would make more sense as it shares some similarities between MC.

I'd say most of the GTA titles, all the 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, RDR1 and 2, Batman Arkham Series and more. There is so many 3rd person titles out there, that it's kind of tough to name all the good ones, as there's so many.

Most open world games to be honest, but the better ones being stuff like Skyrim, Far Cry series, GTA Series, some of the assassin's creed series and many more.

Well, looks like the PS5 will be getting its own VR headset soon, and it's going to be a new fancy one. I wish I had the money to get myself a PS5 and this, but maybe soon enough. We all knew Sony was going to make an upgraded VR headset, and here we go. I just hope they make a ton of games to support it. It feels like PSVR didn't really take off as much as I thought it would. Anyway, you can read about this news here - PlayStation Blog

Has anyone here played this game? It's a third person shooter starring 50 Cent and some of his crew from G-Unit. Anyway, I gotta admit, I enjoyed this game. It has some comedy gold, and is actually kind of a competent 3rd person shooter. It's far from perfect, but it's not the worst thing out there. I honestly would probably give this game a 6 or 7 out of 10. Because the gameplay is fun, the story is eh, but I still had a good time. I'm actually considering making it my first game to stream to, but not sure I want to do that just yet.

I remember playing the demo for this game and remember having a blast. Sadly I never got the actual game, because I probably ended up getting the newest WWF Smackdown at the time. But, I've always wanted to add the series to my collection and replay the first one all the way through for the first time. Do you guys remember this game? I remember they even did cross promo with Metal Gear solid 3 I think it was. Great times! 😄

Any fans here of the Twisted Metal series? I only played the first and a portion of the second game. I wasn't too into those types of games. Not sure why, because looking at it now, I could see my young self getting into this. Anyway, what was your favorite from the series? When was the last time they even released a game? Maybe it's time they released a new game. I feel like it's been forever since they have.
