Has anyone here played the game Raft? It's been out for two years now, and it's a fun and challenging game. You essentially start off as a raft, and can play with a lot of people. Not sure on the total amount allowed in ones world. Anyway, you build the raft to the point, where I think you can build cities eventually. I haven't got past the Raft yet, but I'm working my way to it. 😄 Here's the trailer in case you're wondering.

Source - PCgamesN According to the voice actor of Master Chief, the game is ready to for this coming spring 2021. Which isn't too far away, even though this game was intended as a launch title for the Series X and S. Do you think he's right, and we'll see the new Halo dropping this Spring? Or will it be delayed yet again?

I hear it's kind of easy. Just need to take the console apart and do some work. I would need to watch a guide myself, but I'm sure there are many in depth guides on how to do it. Original xbox consoles shouldn't cost a lot. Thrift store probably sell em pretty cheap these days. But I understand not wanting to in case it doesn't work. As I wouldn't want to buy another, even if it's fairly cheap.

Hey @killamch89, @skyfire, can we not spam the topic with just videos? This goes for anyone else just posting videos. I was hoping we'd discuss the games we share here. Posting just videos doesn't really tell us anything, it just feels really spammy to me. Sorry if I offend anyone saying this, but I had to say something. I made this topic to Discuss our favorite games, not to spam multiple videos back to back. I went back pages and it's just video after video. Let's get back to the subject at hand and cut out the spamming please. If you post a video, at least tell us why this game is so special to you. It's just spammy to plaster video after video with no explanation. This topic is also not a forum game, so people shouldn't be doing double posts or multiple posts right after another. Anyway, enough about that. Let's get back to subject. ___________ I've been playing ESPN NFL 2K5 again, but I found a way to use a PS2 emulator and got a version of the game with updated graphics and all that. It's refreshing to see it in glorious HD. It really says something, when a game that's 16 years old or so, still runs and plays better than new madden games lol. I played the newer Madden game recently, and it's the same Madden game we've gotten in recent years. They rarely change a thing, but a game from 16 years ago still plays better. It's crazy to me. Anyway, 2K5 is one of my all time favorite games, simply because it was the best sports game at the time, at least imo. I'm thinking I may start to stream the version I got now, as I want the world to see how good of a sports game it is. 😄

I think this is a lot more practical than foldable smartphones. With a laptop, you're not going to be popping this in your pocket. I can see a foldable laptop working better, because it's going to be easier to take care of compared to a phone. It's cool and looks promising, but I don't think we're going to see a future of folding screen laptops anytime soon. And yeah, I suspect the build quality isn't super great.

It's Nintendo, they are known to block custom made games and streams. They are within their right to do so, but it's really stupid on their part and continues to make them look like the bad guy. As well, in the video, he mentions that Nintendo knew about the mod and were supporting the tournament at first. But yeah, greedy guys Nintendo gotta shut everything down.

Been playing some Madden NFL 21, but haven't kept up with it too long, as I jumped back into an emulated version of ESPN NFL 2K5. I got it on the PC, so I've been reliving that with updated graphics. 😄 Other than that, played some Raft with friends and some Phasmophobia, which was a ton of fun. I haven't been playing much else though.

Why is it that games come out on Tuesdays? Same with movies, music and other media? I read that it was for the charts to rank them and such, but I feel like that's a dying thing these days. As well, I notice games are coming out on Thursdays (Nintendo) and some games are coming out on Fridays now. I'm not sure why they do Fridays now. I assume it may be for getting it released for the weekend. What do you guys think? I don't see why they still do Tuesdays for release dates.

This is kind of cool, according to an article at Twisted Voxel games on the PS5 will skip studio logos at boot after they've already been viewed on your console. There is no news if this will happen for all games on the PS5, but it seems to be happenin for Demon Souls. I sure hope it's for all games, because if it can make the boot faster, I'll be happy. Xbox has quick resume, so maybe this could turn into something like that for the PS5.

Noice! Sounds like a decent setup. 🙂 Nice nice! I have my bed in my game room too, along with my desk and a couch that I want to replace with a recliner instead. And nice TV. 👍 Yeah, same for me in regards to it being my room. I need to make space myself. I don't need a green screen though, as I use the Xsplit vcam app to remove my webcam background, works wonders. I want to eventually put LED lights all over my room, but for now I just have some under my desk.

Currently I mostly just watch streams, but I've been trying to stream more often myself. I'm no pro streamer, so it's a learning experience for me right now. Anyway, I mostly watch people like Bruce Greene, Funhaus, PayMoneyWubby, and a few others. I am actually trying to watch more streams lately, as there's a lot of fun streamers out there. And I want to stream more often as well. 🙂

I read an article here at GameIndustryBiz discussing exactly this, and figured I'd make a topic about it. Why isn't it that we haven't gotten a true to form 007/Bond game? You'd think we'd be seeing more 007 themed games now days, especially with how popular the Bond franchise is. Maybe they're waiting for a new Bond to be announced. We all know Craig isn't going to be around much longer, as I think the next film is his last. So maybe when a new Bond is selected, we'll get a new game to coincide. What do you guys think?

Oh for sure, anyone who hacks/cheats in games are a pain in the ass. I don't understand why they do it. I know they do it for the laughs, but it's just pathetic really. I remember playing COD 4 on the 360 years back, and I caught a guy switching teams somehow mid game. And bear in mind, we were in a ranked match, and that's not supposed to be possible. He was literally hopping back and forth to each team. He did it to, I guess, keep his win streak going. I chewed the guy out, but there wasn't much I could do. It's always fun to report hackers and cheaters though. Because MS can easily look into it. I don't know how many times I've gotten that MS message saying "Thanks for your report, we took action on it, etc". I love that, because it means one less hacker/cheater out of the equation for a while. But yeah, hackers get on my nerves for sure.

I don't think we have a Call of Duty discussion topic here, and I figure with Black Ops - Cold War releasing tomorrow, I figured I'd make a topic for the games in general. I'm sure we don't want a topic for every COD game, as we'd be here all day lol. Anyway, who's getting the new COD? I am not getting it yet, in fact I completely forgot it was releasing this month. I think I'll eventually get it, but money is tight right now, so I'm not going to be spending money on games for a bit. Anyway, discuss the new game here, or discuss any of the games in the franchise if you want to. 🙂

Well that's kind of a given with CD Projekt Red, their games are usually pretty big, and 2077 will be as well. Hmm, I didn't think of them, but I suppose it's possible they could make a massive game. I just have no clue what they would do. I'm all for studios doing new things.

Well, more news is coming out of console problems for the Xbox Series X. Originally it was overheating and smoke coming out of the console, but that was verified as false. But now there seems to be some reports of disc drive problems. According to Polygon, some people are reporting that their disc drive is making clicking sounds when inserting a disc. One video even shows an Xbox Series S making the same noise. So I'm thinking it may not be a disc drive problem, but something to do with the fans maybe. idk. Some people are reporting that their Xbox won't take discs at all. Some are reporting that when they try to insert it, it'll make like a grinding sound. Check the story at polygon to see the videos. But I hope this is just a small portion of consoles affected.

idk, those phones were powerhouses back in the day and lasted quite a bit. But, gradually the hinges on said phones do go, and down the road, these hinges in the smart folding phones are bound to get damaged over time too. I think once these phones get down in price, it won't be too much of a problem. Because if these become cheap enough, it won't be a problem to buy a newer one at some point. But as they stand now at those prices, I don't see people jumping at the opportunity to own one, at least not yet.

Did anyone here ever play the Where's Waldo game on the NES? I remember hating it as a kid because of how boring and annoying it was. Trying to find waldo was a chore because literally every character was the same color. As well, the level where you have to find Waldo in the dark, and the various other dumb levels, I just never understood this game. Does anyone remember it? How far did you get?

Hey guys, I think most in here are forgetting the purpose of this topic. Sharing videos is fine and all, but let's try to stay a bit on topic and try to explain why we like the games we're sharing as well. I would love to hear your thoughts on the games you enjoy, as a video doesn't really tell me why it's a favorite of yours. Just seems kind of spammy to me when it's just videos with no explanations as to why they're your favorites, no offense. Anyway, back to the subject at hand Hmm, I didn't even know it came out on PC. But then again, SEGA is known for releasing some of their games on PC, so I suppose that makes sense. The character I liked to play as in the game, was the dude who was drunk all the time, I think he was a play on the drunken master or something, because he did similar moves that Jackie Chan did. Just always thought he was fun to play as. Anyway, another game I have fond memories for, is Spelunker for the NES, I think it's what inspired the likes of Spelunky, which is also another good game. But Spelunker was what kind of started it. It's a game where your goal is to find treasure at the bottom, all the while you have to traverse this cave and fight off enemies. I never got too far it in sadly, but I had a ton of fun with it. I haven't played it in years sadly, so maybe it's time I change that soon. 😄

Source - Know Techie The PS5 does not have a web browser, do you care? I personally don't care, as I haven't used a web browser on a console in years. I tried using it on the Xbox One, but I just feel it's not right for browsing the web. As well, it never seems you can access every site you want to. At least when it comes to the Xbox One. I feel that everyone these days, can just check their phones for anything they need. Jumping to a web browser on a console is slow and annoying, imo at least. What do you guys think? Is a web browser really needed?

idk, I don't normally eat while gaming. I will sometimes have a snack here and there, but the majority of the time I will have something to drink over food. I mostly have lipton diet tea to drink, but other than that, no food really. If I have some candy left over, I tend to snack on that though. Maybe chips too, but not often as I hate getting my controller greasy. 😄

This game looks good. It's a launch title for the PS5 and will also be releasing on PC. I get a lot of Dishonored vibes from the gameplay trailer below. From what the trailer says, you're continually playing the same time, and can alter time to even move two targets into one location. The trailer below explains it much better though. I can see myself playing this.

Source of story here - The Gamer So according to The Gamer article above, it seems that the rumors of Xbox Series X consoles overheating, with smoke coming out of the console, might have been fabricated. I guess owners are possibly vaping inside of their console to make it look like smoke is coming out of it. Let's be honest, if there was real smoke, it likely would be much blacker, considering it's housed inside a plastic container. That's one reason that tipped me off on this. As well, the article also states that one video shows the console's dashboard still up while the console is smoking. So take it with a grain of salt. I'm suspecting it's fake, but we'll know more if more people come forward with issues.

With the Xbox Series X and S out now, and the PS5 coming out tomorrow, it got me thinking. Currently most games are releasing for pretty much every console. But, I suspect the Xbox One (Xbox One X as well) and the PS4 will soon be obsolete and will not work with future games. Eventually they'll wind both consoles down just like they did with the 360 and PS3. Soon enough there won't be any new releases on either console. But, when do you think that will be? I'm hopeful that new games continue to come out for all consoles for the time being. I'd be okay with the downgraded versions. That's perfectly fine with me.

There are a lot of studios out there iching to make it big, some have made ambitious titles in the hopes if striking it big. What are some studios that you think are capable of making a massive game? And I mean studios that are known for being somewhat small, or indie in general. Games these days are getting easier to make, so an indie studio could potentially make the next best sandbox game for all we know. What small, indie, or somewhat decent sized studios, could you see making an open world game? I would like to see Crystal Dynamics make a more open world game. Tomb Raider is fine and all, but I wouldn't qualify it as open world, as it's more linear than open imo. But you get my point, they could easily do a massive world if they wanted to. What do you guys think? What studios would you like see make their own open world games?
