I don't think that Superman 64 was even an open world game. I think it was just a simple linear game. Open world implies like open world, like GTA V, or Skyrim. I think the worst open world game is Mafia 3. Just a bland game that didn't even need to be an open world game. Best open world games, I'd say probably Arkham City or Arkham Knight. But I could say GTA V or Red Dead Redemption too.

I can't think of any platforms I hated. I wasn't a fan of the virtual boy, or the a few others consoles, but I can't think of anything I outright hate or can't stand. Well, maybe Google Stadia, I can't judge it yet, as I never had the chance to try it out. But I'm going to suspect it's not good, especially with that small library of overpriced games. 😄

I've heard of people playing with the claw technique. I personally never tried that method before, as I tend to play the traditional way. Maybe I should try the claw technique and see how it compares to the normal way.

What are some games you think would be a lot better if they allowed mods to be used? Of course during the single player mode of said games, but I think you get my point. Anyway, what are some games you'd like to see allow mods more often? For me, I think RDR2 and GTA V for consoles. The PC versions are obviously superior in that they can have mods, but on consoles, it's another story. What ever happened to more games on consoles getting their own mod marketplace of sorts?

Amazon has made a few games under their Amazon Games platform. Currently from what I see, all games from Amazon are PC based, but some may even be coming out for current gen consoles. Anyway, do you think Amazon will jump more into the gaming industry with more games? Or do you think they may make their own platform one of these days?

So this is a interesting bit of news, but news I can totally believe. According to an Eurogamer article, Microsoft attempting to purchase Nintendo back in the year 2000. Yes, 20 years ago MS tried to buy up Nintendo. What was Nintendo's response to their ask? Well according to someone involved with MS at the time, Nintendo just laughed them off. Could you imagine if Microsoft owned Nintendo? Wonder how consoles would have been with Microsoft's influence. What do you guys think?

Well there's been back and forth on that for a bit now. Originally it was said that the currently planned releases will still be coming out for other consoles. But, I then hear something that contradicts that, as now they're saying they plan to keep the games to the Xbox family. So at this point, I honestly don't know. It could go either way.

I agree to some extent. It's a good strategy to play it safe, but a lot of people like to get kills and pad their stats. I've seen people camp and hide, but the majority of the time, they're noobs like myself, or aren't very good at the game to begin with. The good players utilize building and shooting and make it work almost seamlessly sometimes. It's crazy how good some players can be at Fortnite.

That's a good question. Personally 4K is a huge jump from 1080p. The thing with 4K and higher, you really need a big TV to take advantage of it, as well, you'd need space to see it at the optimal angle so that you can see that difference. My sister and them got a 70in 4K TV a while back, and I they showed the Shinning in 4K and my god, it's like I'm standing right in the movie, it's so clear. There is a major crisp to the picture when you get into 4K territory. I don't know how to explain it, but it's quite a difference. As for 8K though, like I said about 4K, you'd need a bigger screen and more room to take advantage of it.

With pre-orders as well, they have to make it worthy of buying so early. So with pre-orders, gamers should get a lot more than just some cheap DLC. Give them some swag, a t-shirt, mug, anything. This would make pre-ordering a bit more worth it. That's why I have no problems with people wanting to pre-order collectors editions for example. As you're getting either some big statue, action figure, t-shirt, poster, etc. That's worth a pre-order imo. Not digital codes and stuff, actual physical items to go along for the pre-order. That's the only way I can see myself pre-ordering anything again.

I think times are changing, where gamers are finally taking notice. It may still be a slow process, but gamers are going to vote with their wallets I hope, and eventually we'll start to see more backlash for problems like what we're seeing with Cyberpunk 2077. It helps that these companies are making it so easy for us to hate on them too, and soon enough, no company will be able to get away form this type of mess. Actually, I'd say that time is now with Cyberpunk, as I think it's people have been most vocal with its problems than any other game in recent memory. Plus with the addition of problems back to Fallout 76, or Mass Effect Andromeda. People are increasingly taking notice, and things I think are going to start to change.

Facebook owns Oculus and I could see them producing games for the device. Do you think Facebook will ever release their own game? Have they already released games of their own for Oculus? Facebook could easily jump into gaming with all the cash they make. What do you guys think though? Could Facebook make it in the gaming industry? Or would you prefer if they stayed as far away as possible?

You know what, I'd actually like to see GTA join forces with Saint's Row. I don't know how it'd work, but I could see it being a hell of a ride if so. I think Saints Row could bring the campiness, while GTA brings in the realism and seriousness. Other than that, I would like to see a Football game where you can play football, but after you're done, you're a secret agent or something, so maybe Hitman mixed with Football. By day, he's a pro football player, by night, he's one of the most ruthless hitmen. Idk, weirder things have been done.

There's been a few games where I'd get stuck. Mostly puzzle games. I think one game that comes to mind, is the Turing Test. That's a puzzle game, and I remember a couple parts I need to access a walkthrough. It's usually with puzzle games, or games where you're stuck in a maze like area.

Yeah I had a feeling that was the case. I figured with new physical games still releasing for the console, that maybe there was a chance that the Wii still had service. But I suppose at this point, it'd be quite pointless. Still though, it's weird to see them still making games for it. Kind of reminds me of when they kept making PS2 games (mostly sports titles) when the PS3 was still out. Hell, I think they still had some games coming out near the PS4's release. But I may be wrong on that.

Yeah, these studios have to stop promising us a certain release date when their game isn't 100% ready. That's why I wish studios would only announce something when it's close to being done. And they should never put out a release date until they know full well they can actually make it.

I don't know, I have a relatively easy time when it comes to running games on windows 10. But then again, I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to windows 10. All I know, is that most games work for me and I can't really complain much.

Have you guys ever played any of the educational Mario games? I am only aware of Mario Is Missing, and I know there was another one, but I'm drawing a blank. Do you think these games are worth adding to my collection? Are they cheap enough? Was there any other educational games from Nintendo?

It's weird to hear about Nintendo purchasing a studio, but it looks like they did exactly that, as they recently purchased up Canadian game studio Next Level Games. It may make sense though, as they were involved in the development of Luigi’s Mansion 3. This is actually the first studio they purchased since Monolith Soft back in 2007. So it's been quite a long time since they purchased anything. I think it makes perfect sense though, considering they worked on one of their games. Do you think this will result in more purchases from Nintendo? Or will they slow back down in that regard? You can read more on this news here - TechCrunch

So this is cool news. Microsoft may be making their own DualSense style controller. Take this with a grain of salt, Someone was working on a survey from Xbox, and one of the questions mentioned was "I am aware of features on PlayStation controllers that I wish were on the controller that came with this console." This doesn't mean Xbox will be getting a controller like it, but it could result in a new Elite controller with features the dual sense has. What do you guys think? Source - Exputer

I didn't even know a new Super Meat Boy was in the works, and come to find out, they released a new game in the series just this Christmas. I didn't see any ads, or promotion for it. EIther way, it's cool a new game in the series is out. Do you guys think it's going to live up to what the original game was? Is anyone here purchasing it? It's available on Switch and PC right now I think, and it's coming out for the other consoles sometime in early 2021.

With how dumb the names have been for Xbox consoles, it got me thinking, how dumb of a name do you think the next Xbox will get? Maybe it's Xbox Two? Maybe Xbox Super Series. Xbox 360 2. lol Idk, I can't think of what they could go with next. What do you guys think?

The game is very similar to the classics, but with better controls. As well, the newer games tend to be a lot easier, as there is an option to follow certain leads to get a certain kill. It kind of takes away from learning the maps. But, you can turn that option off.

It could be due to money, but I think it's more to do with the fact that Game Pass is taking over, so maybe they're going to just drop the program soon. They could easily add these in with Game Pass each month or something.

Moderator Edit: A few days after the original posting of this topic, the company involved with the Limited Edition console cancelled all orders due to cliams of threats against the safety of thier employees, making the original context of the thread redundant through no fault of @Kane99. Because of this, I have moved the thread to a different sub-forum and changed the title so the conversation can continue in the vain of the way the story has developed and changed. I hope you will join with me in thanking @Kane99 for the original posting and continue to discuss the story here in the appropriate tone. A new PS2 themed PS5 is coming out January 8th. To me, it doesn't look that much like a PS2. The colors seem off to me, and don't quite match up. Either way, it's a sexy looking console. Are you going to purchase it? Read more here - TechRadar
