Damnit Rockstar! Why can't you just give us the Undead Nightmare 2? At least pop it in the Halloween DLC like this, but nope, Rockstar can't be bothered to give us something like that. Wish they added a zombie mode to this at the very least, but I guess that's asking for too much from them. 😞

I used to play racing games more when I was younger and in my teen years. I got into the original Need For Speed on the PS1, along with Test Drive. I remember owning Test Drive 4 for the PS1 and my bro and I would play that a lot. Around the PS2 I started to tire of the racing games, as they got too fast for me lol. Especially the NFS Underground games. Looks almost the same gameplay wise to the original game, just with better graphics. Sadly I haven't played any of the newer games in the series. Though, I think I actually picked up a used copy of it on the PS1 a while back, but I need to double check my collection.

I don't count those flashback devices anyway lol. I've seen them selling on Facebook marketplace as Atari consoles, and it bugs me so much. PS2 was the shit! I think it's the one console I had the most games for originally. I had a lot on the PS1, but mostly bought for the PS2. Sadly I idiotically sold off most of my collection years ago, but have slowly built up my collection again.

Are there any games that you play to relax? Maybe it's just a chill puzzle game, or a sports game, or anything. What games help you to relax during a tough or long day? For me, it's pretty simple, I found peggle to be a great stress reliever, and helps me relax. I also like to play simple games that don't require a lot of challenge, because if it requires work, it is not going to relax me. I will also play stuff like call of duty, until I of course get mad.

I'm not one for talking about politics, but I gotta admit, it's nice seeing a politician enjoying a video game, because lets face it, eventually a lot of us will be in congress, in the senate and running for president. Well maybe not us, but someone from our generation will. It's weird to think, but imagine if a gamer is in office one day, as president. How cool would that be? Maybe he or she, will stream to twitch for their presidential addresses and such. Read about this story here - Forbes You can also watch the stream here if you want to - Twitch

This is really cool stuff. A streamer recently got a tattoo of the Rogue Company logo, which she in turn tweeted out. The lead developer, Scott “Gandhi” Lussier, offered to pay for the tattoo, to which he actually did. Sending $100 to her. You can read more at the article here - Squad State Or you can see her tweet below.

I hate looking at the comment section for most gaming news. There's just so many fanboys on all sides, who complain to each other. I don't get it. No one is winning when you argue on social media. It's why I don't usually comment on social media, because if you have a different opinion, you get a ton of hate, so I move on from that. But, why is it that so many people take consoles and some games so seriously? It's like if you judge a game, or a console, you get a ton of arguing. There's no winning. Either it be a Sony fanboy, a Nintendo fanboy, or even a Xbox fanboy, they all argue about it and claim one or the other is better. Let's just all get along and like what we like. What do you guys think?

When it comes to the past console generations, which ones do you prefer the most? I usually fall in line with the 6th generation, which I believe was the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube generation. I also like the 7th generation, which was the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii generation, but also like the 8th gen. Here's hoping the 9th gen turns out to be one of the best. We shall see. 🙂 Anyway, what is your favorite console generation?

Yeah, I felt the same way. I was finding items pretty fast, and the combat seems fun. If I start to get stuck anywhere, I'll for sure update my thoughts, as I am hearing from others that they're getting annoyed with it. So I hope I'm not making any mistakes when it comes to what I find in the world, or how I play. Because I haven't been paying any attention to the story so far. I just want to get to fighting enemies lol.

It is. 🙂 I still have the SNES version of the game, and hook it up once in a while to play it. I haven't played many of the newer games though. 😞 Anyway, another game I'd like to talk about today, would have to be the game Rampage on the NES. I remember it fondly as it was one of the first games I played with a friend of mine. He would get dropped off at my house and we'd go into my parent's room to play the NES for a couple hours until he'd have to go home. We would play some other games too, like TMNT 2 the arcade game, and a few others, but Rampage was one I remember playing a lot of. I don't remember if there was an ending, but we'd played for hours trying to complete it. Does it even have an ending? I would always get bored of playing for too long, as it was the same looking cities over and over. Does anyone remember playing the Rampage games? I only played the NES one, but I know there was one for the N64/PS1 as well.

I've been playing that new free to play game called Genshin Impact. It's the one that's almost a clone of Breath of the Wild. I am having fun with it so far though. I might be playing some Friday the 13th soon though, so that should be fun!

Goldeneye will never happen, as I think Activision owns the 007 licensing, at least I think so. I get your point though, because I don't know if a remaster or reboot would be the same. It wouldn't feel the same I mean. Maybe they could make the graphics look more cartoon like, to kind of match the older style of game. They could even have another studio handle it. Maybe an indie studio instead. I still would like to have a new Conker game at the very least.

Oh for sure, it doesn't come close to actual war. But I'm glad to see more games show the horrors of war and go into more detail about the impact of war and why it's so bad, because it can be used to push people away from it even. Compare that to something like Call of Duty today, where they're mostly all about action and less on story, and about making you feel like a bad ass. Those games don't usually have meaning. All the publishers want is action and fireworks. I'm sorry to hear that. I would never be able to handle any form of military myself. I could maybe handle something like the National Guard, but I'd die if I tried out for the Marines.

I say give it a go. Can't hurt to try it out and see how it feels on you. As for grinding for stuff, I'm not trying to care much for all that. I'm just going to collect stuff, build my characters as best I can, and see how it goes. I just wish traversing was a bit faster, but I suppose they may add options for driving and longer stamina meters. I think you gain wishes by playing in the world. I noticed I got a few of them and was able to open some loot box thing. I've only played around 2 hours or so by now, but it's quite fun. I imagine it will get very grindy as you continue to play though, so I'll try to update you if it starts to become that.

Source - MP 1ST According to MP 1ST, the PlayStation 5 will release updates for the fan itself. I guess, depending on the load of certain games, the fan will spin depending on that data instead. It's a pretty interesting idea, and could help protect the console even more in the long run.

I believe the recent beta has ended for the upcoming Black Ops - Cold War. I sadly did not take advantage of the beta myself, but was considering it. But, last time I checked they said it would only be two days and I noticed it's already been two days, so I was too late. 😞 But, for those who have had a chance to experience the beta, how was it? Do you think it's the same usual COD? Or have they don't anything new? (I doubt it lol).

It's a given this discussion will go right to Conker and Banjo-kazooie, but there are other classics under Rare's belt. What would you like to see them revive? I for sure want more Conker, we haven't had him in years. It's time to give the guy a revival. I would love to see Banjo-Kazooie in a new game as well, one closer to the original games and not what the last game was. The one that shall not be named lol. You could also include Perfect Dark, and a new Killer Instinct would be nice too. Discuss! 🙂

Control Ultimate Edition's physical version on Xbox One, requires you to connect to XBL in order the play. Want to know the reason why that is? It's because the physical version of the game is not complete. They had to release an update to include the rest of the ultimate edition, and that's why an internet connection is required early on. So, you will only need to do this once. But, this gives me concerns, because what if the server at some point goes down? Would that game then be locked at that point? At least when it concerns Xbox One consoles. Read more on this article here - Eurogamer

A game I'm going to talk about now is Donkey Kong Country. My goodness, this game was so iconic at the time. I remember the first time I played it, thinking this was it, this is how good graphics will look. lol But seriously, the graphics still look solid to this day and that gameplay, my god that gameplay is fantastic. Playing the cart levels was always a challenge, but I eventually got it down. Plus the music in this game is top notch as well. The water level music alone chills me right out. I love it!

Oh for sure, games like Assassin's creed are going to hog those drives. Just the next COD alone is going to eat into nearly half of the storage of the new gen consoles. Or so I imagine at the rate they're going. 2TB isn't going to be enough for most hardcore gamers out there.

I think that would be cool. Even if it's not 100% realistic, I'd love to live in a vr world for a little while, just to see what it would be like. But, I do wonder how that would affect the mental health of someone, to live in a VR headset forever.

Exactly! I think it's because people don't know how advanced games have gotten, so they still think it's for kids. Or they've never had time with an actual game. I remember playing Call of Duty in front of my aunt, who is often judgmental on that sort of stuff. But she was kind of mesmerized how real it looked. She didn't call it a toy after that. I think once they see what games are capable of, they realize it's not for kids and realize it's not a "toy".

If you're a fan of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, then you're probably going to like the game Genshin Impact. It's essentially a copy of Breath of the Wild, as it has similar climbing mechanics, gliding, fighting and so much more. The only difference is that it has some multiplayer options and you can supposedly do co-op. Has anyone here played it yet? I played it for a few hours with some friends, and I must admit, it was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to playing it some more. Oh, and if you want to play online right away, you can't. You have to play the adventure mode first to get to level 16, then you can play multiplayer with friends.

Yeah, that's the brilliance of Spec Ops: The Line. It's meant to be about the horrors of war and how it can effect people's minds. It's one of my favorite games, because it shows war as extremely awful. Anyway, as for other games, there are a lot of games that try to hide meaning into their games. Sometimes it's over-looked by fans, or completely missed. I think Silent Hill 2 (spoilers ahead) has a lot of symbolism and hidden meaning. The whole point of the game is that James is kind of an awful person. He fantasized about other women as his wife was dying in a hospital bed, but he was also responsible for ending her life sooner. I heard Pyramid head is a symbol of James.

Has anyone here played this Resident Evil clone? It's called Daymare: 1998 and looks similar to the resident evil franchise, especially with the controls and graphics. Anyway, is this game even any good? I saw some gameplay of it, and the controls look stiff to me. But I can't fully judge it until I actually play it. Is it worth purchasing? It's $30 on steam, but idk if I want to spend that much if it turns out to be really bad.
