If you're looking for ease of use when it comes to video editing, I'd suggest looking into something like Descript - https://www.descript.com/ I believe it's like $30 a month, but it makes editing videos easy. I've been kinda using it for work purposes recently, and it is a transcriber that uses AI to make cuts and edits to video. It also has a video editor that's mostly easy to follow, where you can cut out the Ums, ahs, and other filler words, and you can also edit other bits out easily. It also has templates you can use, and also allows access to stock video, images, graphics, animations, etc. It is essentially something geared towards people who aren't video editors like myself. But can also just be used to transcribe your videos. It does a great job at transcribing.

Has anyone here been playing this since its release? I believe it's early access, but dropped just late February. I haven't played it, but I've seen videos and memes about it, and it looks like it might be a lot of fun, especially with their new NPCs options. Especially Kelvin, who has become popular because of how random his AI can be. Like destroying your builds when it looks to be in his way haha. Probably some bug fixes needed, but looks genuinely fun. Who here has played it? Is it worth getting?

New season is going to be starting in a couple days I believe. It is said that they will be doing a Japanese themed season, with a Neo Tokyo location and I guess cyberpunk style locations too. I'm kinda excited, but we'll see. You can find more on it below: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-chapter-4-season-2-start-date-battle-pass-and-more/1100-6511918/ I believe it's March 9th when the new season starts, as they're saying March 8th is the last day for the current season.

Yeah it's the nature of gaming, new devices come out very often, that it can sometimes become overbearing. "Oh, this device I just got is already dated, great, that's awesome!" I saw they have another VR headset called Meta Quest Pro, that's currently going for $999.99 on their website. It used to be priced at $1,499.99. If I could afford to get a more suped up VR headset, I would. But I might only be able to afford a Meta Quest 2 or 3 whenever it comes out.

Well, maybe it's time you guys booted up your old Wii U consoles, as there is a new report coming out saying that there is an issue with Wii U consoles that are left off for a long period of time. It's being said to be a memory issue, specifically a NAND corruption issue. It is being said that if this happens, the console is pretty much bricked and unusable. And according to the article, there doesn't seem to be a fix for it. And of course, Nintendo no longer repairs Wii U consoles. So, what can gamers do when it comes to this? I don't have a Wii U, but I know people who do and I am curious now to know if they have any issues botting their consoles up.

Do you still have the files? I'd be curious to see it myself, but I imagine it's long gone by now if it was early 2000s. I don't think I have anything saved from back that far. At least not anymore. Have you ever considered going back to it? Making games that is.

Oh for sure. I still think it's a great game, I'm just played out on it as I've played too much as it is haha. I used to play online a lot, but I felt it was way too much of a grind and got bored after a while. The money you need to have anything is crazy. It's partly why I quit, because you need so much money to get anywhere. They'll stop playing when Rockstar stops supporting it or when they release the new game. But until then, they're going to pack as much into GTA V as they can before GTA VI comes out.

It had so much hype, I don't get how they failed it. Shouldn't just done another delay and waited until the game was fully ready. Also another game that comes to mind for me as a major letdown would probably be WCW Mayhem on the PS1. I remember getting it for my birthday one year and I remember the copy I got wasn't working properly, so my dad had to run it back to the store to get a replacement. But, it didn't help much as the game was kind of crap. I forced myself to enjoy it, but I didn't. Thank god I didn't buy the sequel Backstage Assault, as I remember renting it and hating every minute of it. I know the game is titled Backstage Assault. But I was expecting to at least be able to go to the wrestling ring and fight, but nope, they were true to the name and if I remember correctly, they only had backstage areas, hence the name Backstage Assault.

I think if they make a Switch 2 then I could see more AAA games dropping on the console, but right now, most AAA games are too much for the Switch hardware, so it'd just be a case of Skyrim and the Witcher like The Blackangel said. You're not going to get the best quality from the switch versions. I wouldn't bother releasing most AAA games on the switch, but if they released a new Switch with hardware that actually comes close to current gen, then I could see the likes of a new Skyrim, Witcher and even RDR2 coming. At this point, the Switch is due for a replacement anyway, so maybe Nintendo will finally create a console that actually matches or comes close enough to the hardware of most current gen consoles.

So looking it up on Google, I see the cover art looks familiar, but I don't think I ever played this game, nor played a demo of it. But I believe I saw an ad for the game in a gaming magazine back in the day. But I doubt it was something that was of interest to me at the time.

True, but as an ending, I didn't really expect it. When I first played it, I actually failed to wake up and the game ended. At first I thought it was intentional. But I thought, nah, that can't be how it ends, so replayed the last mission and figured out the true ending. But, I blame it on the fact I missed a portion of the game where Diana gives him the sedative to lower his heart rate. So that's why I completely skipped the part at the end originally. But yeah, Agent 47 can be OP for sure haha.

Looks really fun. I like the exploration side of it myself. Whenever I play something like GTA for example, I like to explore the world first and see what I can find before tackling the story. I feel like this is exactly that type of game where you can go right into exploring the world. Kinda like what Minecraft was. I think if done right, it could be good. I think we've gotten too used to games showing us exactly where we need to go. I mean, RDR2 for example had waypoints, essentially a GPS, but if you wanted to, you could turn that off and use road signs and NPCs would sometimes tell you where to go. I thought that was cool, considering it made it feel more realistic. I have a feeling they will guide you in some way, like at the start, they might say "Find land" or "Find shelter" or something. As well, it looks like maps eventually get filled in, so maybe the character builds up the map as you play, marking important landmarks, sights, and treasures, similar to how Arthur does in RDR2 when he discovers a new area. That would be my guess anyway, since they show a waypoint pinned on the map. It might also work how Fortnite does, where when you land in an area that you have yet to go, it'll show up as blank & darkened on the map, and then once you go there, it reveals the location.

When I first saw this, I thought it was an online arena mode where people could fight each other using the impressive combat system this game has. But this is pretty cool too. I have not yet played Sifu, I hear it's hard, but I may look into it soon. But now I want them to do an online arena mode where you can battle other players using this combat system.

That whole company has to be waiting in fear from what could happen if MS is able to make that purchase of Activision and co. So many employees are wondering if they will have a job. On top of that, there is likely to be more firings on their side. It's going to be a mess all around.

True that! I have a feeling if Microsoft does succeed in making the purchase, then I can see them keeping Bobby Kotick. Either that, they will put him into another job, maybe one away from most people. It's still sad that Activision has decided not to boot the guy. He's an awful person and I don't know how he's stayed in as CEO.

Yeah the cardboard cases were never good. They made getting to the game easy, but I would rather have a nice case to store it in. Glad they adopted the plastic case after. :D Yeah they weren't great, but to be fair they did get the job done to some extent. We aside from when games would chip putting them in and out of the case, as some cases back then had really annoying holders too. I remember cracking a few games trying to get them out of those annoying cases. Not many people saved those cardboard cases. I wish I did, because knowing what I know now, I would have protected all of my games cases, from the NES, SNES, and N64. And any other games that came in cardboard boxes.

And to be fair, it takes years and years of playing these games to master it enough to do speedrunning. I don't have the patience to do speedrunning the way some people do, because they have to learn how to break the game to get ahead in the game. I would speedrun it the way I know how, and that's playing the game the way you're supposed to. But people find ways of getting through levels faster by getting through glitches and other such things.

Didn't catch this earlier, but they released a new trailer just about a week ago. Honestly am pretty psyched for the VR version of it. Wish I could afford to get PSVR, cause this would be a blast to play in VR I think.

They just dropped an extended gameplay trailer. Is anyone here ready to finally get their hands on this game? I am worried that it's going to release a buggy mess for some reason. But maybe I'll be wrong and it actually turns out to be good. We shall see.

Is this the video in question? I find it funny how mediocre it is and how it just reminds me of something like PubG and DayZ or something, but with nothing going on. I have a feeling they haven't populated this world with anything yet. And the footage of just walking, really?

Wish I could play it. Kinda been craving a Metroid like game at the moment, or any Metroidvania style game. One of these days I'll get my hands on this and actually play it. Sadly no switch yet, but maybe one of these days I'll get one.

Exactly. And if that doesn't work for them, they can repackage it into some other gaming event. I think they're free to have fun with it and experiment with ideas. Could help draw attention back to them.

You are right, they are mostly the same, but the new gen version has a different presentation, character models, and features that aren't in the old gen version, like precision point passing, better physics based tackles, tackle battles, better physics when running (cutting is harder, players more weighty), game day momentum and home field advantage features and more. The PC version is the old gen version, missing those said features. I think most people would assume when buying Madden on PC, they'd get the best up to date version of the game. It's just lazy on EA's part to half ass the PC version of the game, when there are PCs out there that can easily run the new gen version. So I get his annoyance, if he's spending $50+ on the newest madden game, and it's on PC, I would expect to get the better version too. I mean come on, PS4 and Xbox One are dated consoles by this point, there's no excuse for EA not to release the best version on PC.

Can't go wrong with bringing good old Mario into the real world. I just want to hear what this Italian plumber has to say about his escapades attempting to save the Princess, who ultimately ends up being in another castle. But yeah, I think characters like Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Kirby, Donkey Kong would all be interesting to see in real life scenarios. I'm sure I'll think of some other characters though.

I don't remember if this was ever discussed here before, but I recently found out that the PC version of Madden NFL 23, the newest in the series, is actually the PS4/Xbox One version of the game. That's why people were roasting the graphics recently as the character models kind of looked overly fat for some reason. I didn't think much of it, but I did notice when I played the new game, the players looked blocky, kinda how they did back on the PS2 back in the day lol. I guess some fans have voiced their opinions about how the PC version should match the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles at the least. And the fact of it, on steam they're selling the game for $50+ and it's the PS4/Xbox One version of the game. Do you think this is false advertising? I think the PC version should actually be the main game. I also have it on Xbox game pass, so I assumed i'd get the better version, but I guess that isn't the case for PC gamers. The video below is from TikTok where I found out about this bit of news. Watch at your own volition as he swears a lot. I'm assuming that the Pc Game pass version is also the PS4/XBox one version.
