I played infinite with my nephew around the time it came out. Maybe played a max hour or so before I lost interest. To be fair I'm not a big halo fan so I couldn't get into the gameplay so much. I hear it's kinda fallen in popularity as of late due to the devs not doing much of anything new to entice players to keep playing. Is it even worth it to play infinite in the state it is in now?

The maps were okay, but I couldn't get into the jet packs and wall running aspect of it all. It just made the game feel less and less call of duty for me. But I'll admit I did like how fast it all was.

It's always been bad in GTA online. From GTA IV to GTA V, you'll always encounter these trolls and annoying gamers. It just comes down to ignoring them, fighting back against them, or putting on passive mode so they can't bother you anymore. I usually do the latter.

Let us know how it goes. I think it depends on the game. I believe some Famicom games have english, but of course majority will probably be in Japanese. Also when you bought the ROM hack did it say it would be in English? I don't think the console decides the language but the cart itself does. That would be my guess anyway.

Oh for sure. I have paid to remove ads from some mobile games in the even bought stuff in some games. But it's a rarity that I do. I'm considering paying to remove ads from a mobile game I started playing, but I already kind of stopped playing it for a bit.

They could do that with a switch 2.0. if the steam deck can get most games playing from your steam library, I'm sure they could produce a more super up switch, in the same form factor even. A redesign may be needed, but I could see them matching what the steam deck or the new steam deck does. I think if it matches what the steam decks can do, it doesn't need to necessarily match the same hardware as other current consoles.

Ace Combat VR sounds like it'd be a joy to play. I never thought I'd play resident evil 4 in Vr as I was never a big fan of the original game via controller. But something about playing it in VR works so well and I want to keep playing. I can see myself really enjoying something like Ace Combat in VR.

Never owned one myself but I think a neighbor had one that I messed around with. It was the one with the monkeys. I wanted to get the Super Mario Bros play n watch handheld that came out a while back. It had Super Mario Bros 1 that you could play and one of the original play and watch games. It also could be used as a cool clock. But I didn't want to spend $50 for something like that. Maybe if it see it on sale somewhere I'll buy it.

Yeah I think they are done with handheld gaming for the time being. The PSP and psvita were never really that profitable for Sony, at least if I remember correctly. I don't think they made a ton on either handheld, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I always felt like the DS, and 3DS were always ahead of the PSP and Vita in terms of sales. It's sad too, because both consoles were pretty decent devices that could do a lot. I didn't get why it didn't sell as well as it should sell. Both the PSP and Vita I mean. If Sony ever revisits handhelds, I think they could go the hybrid route too. Like with Nintendo Switch. But it probably won't be for a long time.

On Xbox one I have the usual Netflix, Hulu, spectrum, YouTube, edge browser, and a bunch of other typical apps. A lot of streaming services.

Nah I wouldn't call any of that bloat ware. Especially if it's needed. I mainly am referring to those programs they add with like trial periods. Like Microsoft word. I don't want a free trial of that. Just don't include it. I want it to just have the essentials. The usual programs most OSs comes with. No apps otherwise. Maybe a web browser like edge so I can download something like the brave browser instead. I hear cyberpowerpc is pretty good. I think whenever I get my next pc, if it's a prebuilt, I'd have to do some research. And if it's going to be something I build. I'm going to see about finding a site to guide me in the build process by finding the right parts for what I want. But that won't happen for a while as I am not able to afford to dish out the money needed for a new PC or to build one. But hopefully one of these days.

And the beauty about it, is that you don't have to pay if you don't want to. When I played I didn't really change my character much. Then again, I didn't stick with that game too long. But it makes sense to make it free to play. I imagine it has lost some of their active users over the years, so making it free to play brings in a new audience.

That's a good option. Never used it on a keyboard, but have used can air for an old PC. Just a warning, don't use it too close to the device you're cleaning. I think I damaged a pc because of spraying it too close.

Yeah standard jewel cases for CDs were great. The manual acting as the cover art was what made them better imo. That and how easier they were to store. They still had issues where the tabs would break and they were notorious for damaging the manuals when removed. I think the best case was the DVD case, or better yet, the Sega Genesis cases. That is probably the standard you want for a good case.

Never played it myself, but I do remember seeing ads for it in gaming mags growing up. I might have played a demo at one point though.

Also, I maybe would add GTA V to the topic. I played the hell out of the GTA series and I remember how addictive they were. But I think I'm all played out on the series. It's partly why I haven't played it in years probably. Maybe when the new game comes out I'll revisit the series again.

They no longer support it with new updates and items? I figured they still did, unless they've since stopped supporting it outright?

A lot of these types of games become free to play at some point. I'm fine with it, especially if it's not a requirement to buy the base game. I don't see a problem if it becomes free to play where you can buy a battle pass like Fortnite. But I don't play destiny so I couldn't say for sure.

I like the bright and colorful skins. I wear this one where it's a woman but you have this skeleton mask. It had varying colors, but I went with this green/blue thing that changes colors. Other than that, I got a few spiderman skins, Darth Vader, movie venom, and so on. I have skins randomized from a selection i chose.

I think the fun comes in from working with these studios and the developers and coders. I think the testing side is a afterthought when most of the testers are probably more interested in seeing how far the game has come and working with other like minded people. The actual testing side sounds like a chore for the most part. But getting to work close to devs and other team members has to be a great benefit.

The thing with unions though is that they aren't a part of the company you're working for. It's like a group of people who will fight for your job if you're wrongly fired, or are dealing with a poor work environment. Much like crunch in gaming. The studio itself wouldn't be in the union, the employees would be. The unions defend the workers from wrongful termination or bad bosses etc. Which is why I think unions are needed more than ever, because companies need to be held accountable for how they're treating their employees.

It'll get better when companies stop trying to add pay to win to a lot of these apps and games. If you want to level up faster, beat the game faster etc, it'll probably be better to just pay to own the game. Or don't support games with pay to win elements. If they did what fortnite does with their battle pass, maybe I'd consider more mobile games.

I get why apps have ads, especially if they're free to play. Of course it is annoying to have to watch a 15-30 sec ad just to play. But usually some apps will let you buy the full game or require pay to remove ads. Most games I played have had ads, but I don't usually play the games too long anyway. There are some games and apps that toss up way too many ads. It's like they are trying to get you to just buy the game.

Nope, but I'm aware that there are programs and software you can get to help make games. I know rpg maker is one that many have used to make their own games. There are other game makers out there too. Otherwise you can probably find a game engine to code on. I wouldn't know the first thing about making my own games though. if I have the knowledge I'd give it a try.

I have not played it, but I think it would be fun. I don't much care for among us, but I'd try it out in VR to see how well it plays.
