Oh for sure, not all studios will allow their online games to continue. But there are studios that will let their fans go ahead and continue the game via servers and other means. Like I've said in the past, a lot of EA games have a second coming in a way, as fans have kept some of them alive. Like the earlier Battlefield games like Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942 and so on, are still being played by fans, because they're setting up their own servers and even making their own mods to keep these old games fresh. And even some of those games that are shut down, may someday see the light of day because of fans bringing back online modes. Gamers are a wild bunch, and will find ways of keeping many games alive. The sad truth though, is that many games will be forgotten to time, some may never be brought back.

It's because people still happily play it. I may not be one of those who still enjoys it, but you can't argue there is a big audience of gamers still enjoying GTA V, and Rockstar knows this and continues to pack it with content. But, when you've played the online mode as much as I have, you can only play so much until it starts to get boring and repetitive, and GTA V was that for me. I enjoyed it early on and for many years after, but I just lost interest in playing it online and I think it's time for a change and time for a new game. Plus, gamers still buy their shark cards. Rockstar is making a ton off of them.

I am 50/50 on this. I don't want it to be a main point of the game, but maybe add a game mode, where people can utilize stuff like wall running and jet packs. Let the main multiplayer be the traditional COD you know, and let there be game modes where you can add fun stuff like this. You got stuff like Prop Hunt and I'm sure they could implement modes for just using a jetpack and wall running. I just don't want it to be a main focus of the game.

Yeah I think it's fair to include a credit saying he helped with the original game, I don't think he deserves a writing credit for the show itself, as he technically had nothing to do with the show. I just want to see him credited for being one of the creators of the original game. I think that would be fair, considering they do credit Neil and Naughty dog for creating the game. It's not like it'll hurt them any to include one of the original creators. But yeah, no credit for writing on the show itself. I think the concern was him not being recognized as an original creator of this massive franchise. If I was in the same boat and I saw something I created blow up huge, I would want to be tied to it in some way at least.

There are also people who contact publishers pretending to get free review copies and in turn sell the codes they got. Some studios catch this and if the code is used by another user, that account could be banned or they could lose access to the game completely. I've heard where people have lost games they legit paid for from key sites, because the codes came back stolen later on.

Sadly they never will stop. Mobile apps will continue to come out, utilizing the same scheme and methods of draining your wallet. Either it be by buying coins to buy an item in the shop, or paying to remove ads, or whatever else. It's gotten to the point where I don't bother with most free to play games, I just look for games that cost money and check those out instead. At least then I'm not seeing the endless ads per mission or annoying popups and long loadtimes, etc.

Yeah it's a new version of the game that solely takes place in VR. It's been out for a little while now, I'm assuming in a beta state, but it's been out. I saw some meme videos where a guy was chasing around what sounded like a kid. Just looked like it would be so fun to play as the impostor while in VR. Cause it's tougher to see as you only have sight in front of you and not at the top down angle like the original game.

What I also like about it, is that it looks like it may be easier to play in VR. With the way the AI works, it doesn't seem to recognize you as easy. Also, it looks like using your hands will be a lot easier to dispatch enemies than knocking them out the traditional way. I just want to go in, judo chop everyone. I think that would be so fun to do haha.

That is no longer true, as of 2015 women now have the right to work any military job they want, including being on the frontlines and in battle. I don't know if women are still having issues with that aspect of the military, but it seems to be going better these days in terms of women getting more options in the military. https://time.com/4134976/pentagon-combat-women/ Thanks go out to your grandfather for his service. I can't imagine what it would have been like seeing the horrors of war like that, especially liberating Auschwitz. I can imagine it being scary to be around him after all that. Did he have any PTSD from the war? And yeah, the language makes sense for the time. As long as a game/movie doesn't use offensive language excessively to the point that it's overkill, or even unrealistic, then I can totally understand why people would be mad at it. But I think games these days, take the safer approach. The bad guys usually are the ones saying the offensive things for the most part. At least from most games/movies I watch these days. While the good guys you rarely hear bad things come out of their mouth.

Damn games are getting bigger. I don't even think I can run this game under minimum specs. And yeah, not too fond of Square Enix as of late. I'm also getting Recore vibes from this game for some reason. A game that got okay reviews but was forgotten in a couple weeks. I have a feeling this game will end up going that route.

More over to TV if anything. I know Uncharted had a movie, but the movie wasn't really that good imo. And I think it's because you don't get to experience time with these characters like you did in a video game. Movies it's not so easy, but with a tv show it gives you more time with these characters. I think a tv show would work a lot better for Uncharted than a movie did. Main reason why, is because you can flesh out these characters through a tv show a lot easier, so you can grow characters, see them mature etc. But the movie, doesn't give you that option, you're either expected to know the games, or just hope you can tag along as best you can otherwise. Uncharted would work great as its own tv show, because there is 4+ games already. They can also expand upon the story in the games, depending how long the show runs for that is.

That actually sounds cool. I kind of want to play WWE 2K22 or maybe one of the older games like Here comes the pain on stream, and I want to see if chat can control the game itself. I think it'd be cool. Or I may play that GM mode in the new game and let chat take control of that. I think that'd be fun.

Honestly I'd wait to get a new Nintendo console. I imagine we're due for a new Nintendo console, either a new Switch pro with better hardware, or a completely new console altogether. I think Nintendo will release a new Switch model with better hardware, and a better screen and maybe even an updated controller. I don't think they need to produce a new console outright. It's time for an upgrade, and I would just wait for a new switch model to come out instead of buying what's out now. Unless you really want a switch, in which case, just get the newest model they have now. I'm just going to wait until they release a new console, whether it be a new switch or something else.

With the way the PS5 has been hard to get as of late, due to scalpers still trying to get money out of it. I was curious if the PSVR2 will end up dealing with the same problem. The price at release for the PSVR2 is I believe going to be going for the same price as a PS5, so I think $499.99. If scalpers get their hands on it though, I can see it reaching upwards of $1000 or more. With that being said, do you have your pre-order in for one? Or are you going to wait a while before picking up Sony's new vr headset? And do you hope that scalpers don't inflate the price?

That's something I eventually want to get myself. It's more practical and probably works with most phones. Logitech should've just made a controller attachment like this, probably would have sold good.

I'm at the point where I don't game enough to warrant a purchase of a new console anyway. I game mostly on PC and even then I only really play Madden, Fortnite and a couple other games here or there. I don't game like I used to sadly.

Honestly Resident Evil 4. I normally never touched the RE series growing up. I tried RE4 many years ago, but never stuck with it. But when I tried it in VR, I actually wanted to play the game. It's fun having to pull out a clip to reload your gun as zombies shamble towards you. Or having to switch to a grenade mid fight while trying to get used to the VR controls. I have played a quarter of the way through the game, and I think it's thanks to VR. Otherwise I wouldn't have played it.

The Last of Us has aired its first two episodes these past two weeks, and the show is gaining popularity. With how well fans are taking to the show, it made me wonder, what other video games from Naughty Dog, including the Uncharted series, should be made into a tv show? I think Uncharted would make for a perfect show, the adventure, the characters, etc would fit perfectly in a tv show format. But what other Naughty dog works should try for their own tv show? And what other video games do you want to see make the jump to tv? We got Halo, what could be next?

I heard a while back that there were channels where the gamers took control of the action via voting choices. Like Twitch plays Pokemon or something like that. I never really looked deep into it, so I never knew how they did it. I'm guessing they had some kind of voting tool on Twitch where when a choice comes up, chat can type in chat for a certain choice, button press, direction, etc. Are there any Twitch channels that still do this?

NFTs would be less of a problem than crypto, at least with NFTs you have something you can use in a game or whatever. But with crypto, the worth can drop to next to nothing, and you're left with nothing. I'm not saying NFTs should be in video games either, but I think the worst option would be crypto.

Well looks like this game is getting mediocre reviews as of late. Most reviews seem to praise the controls, including the parkour elements and combat, but the story and RPG elements I hear are lacking. I've been seeing mostly 6's/7's/ and 8's here and there. Here's what IGN had to say:

Pretty much the tech support, security updates and I think support for new games. I hear you may be able to install new games, but they may not be supported 100%. And the downside of all this, is that the Meta Quest 3 is said to be coming soon, and that means the MQ2 might be on its way out too. It sucks, but I think a lot of the apps and programs are getting too strong for the older devices. Meta Quest 2 will probably see a similar fate when MQ3 drops.

I feel like we're at a point where VR is highly adoptable for most gamers. You can get an Meta Quest 2 for around $400-$500. You don't need a PC for it either, it has its own marketplace and games. It's not as good as a Valve VR or whatever other VR headsets are out there. I tried my nephews on my PC and it didn't work so great. You either need a really good PC to play it in VR on PC or it just doesn't work. It's more affordable than ever, and I think it's here to stay. I think soon enough Xbox will put one out, or they will let gamers use any VR headset on the market, which would be huge for them I think. It would be nice to see more VR games, and really good ones. Like the Half Life Alyx game, and a few others.

Yup, COD and that Omni device you can get to run in real time. I can imagine how crazy that'd feel in VR. But yeah I second COD as well, it'd be crazy hard to play in VR with how much easier I imagine it is playing via a keyboard & mouse or gamepad.

This shouldn't be happening when they're out there attempting to buy another company. If you have all of these studios and money, why not wait on the whole acquisition of Activision and company, and instead focus on growing the studios you got now. Microsoft should be putting their money into the studios they have now, to make exclusive titles. Which they should have been doing for forever now. It doesn't seem right that 10,000+ employees are let go, when they are tossing up this much money for companies left and right.
