I didn't take that into consideration, but I'm sure they could name the stadiums and locations another name to get through that. Or at the least, design arenas that are close to the real deal, but change enough to where you don't get into any legal trouble.

True. Studios and developers need to see that sometimes it's okay to end a franchise when its at the height of its glory. Uncharted is one of the best franchises around, and I think it's because they haven't run the well dry on ideas with it. It's the same way I feel about certain tv shows and movies overstaying their welcome. Breaking Bad for example is imo, a show people should take note of for when to end a show. Another show that I think should have ended ages ago, was The Blacklist. I hear that show is on it's 11th or 12th season by now, and I think that's too much. Things get stale when you keep repeating the same thing over and over, and I think Naughty Dog saw that it was time to end the series. Didn't Kojima want to quit the series after MGS 3? I imagine Konami kept badgering him about a new game.

I just hope they don't change that menu theme song, because that song is fire no lie. As long as most of the soundtrack is intact, I think I'll be good. But yeah, there's got to be some licensing stuff going on with it. Otherwise this probably would have been released months or years ago. I don't know how the copyright works there. I assume that Microsoft owns the game itself, but had to license the Goldeneye/007 name/characters side of it all over again. I think the big reason why this took so long, is because of the 007 aspect of it. Maybe they had to go through some hoops to workout the licensing again.

I wish they would include all the iconic arenas, every WrestleMania, and other important PPVs of the past. I think most WWE games do it, but I feel like if they added as many of the famous arenas as possible, it would go over well. After 2K22, I'm just hoping it changes some things. Like a more expansive general manager mode. I actually liked Cena when he first joined the WWE, but as they kept having him go over and winning title after title, I soon stopped liking him. It's why I always wanted him to go back to his heel cena gimmick which we kinda got a taste of when he first started his thuganomics gimmick. But once he went on his lifetime babyface run, I slowly lost interest in him. But now days that he isn't clouding the WWE's roster anymore, I like him more. Especially what he has done as of late in TV and movies. Honestly think he's more versatile than The Rock is when it comes to acting.

Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog have spoken, they have no intentions of making another Uncharted game, and I gotta commend them for actually going that direction. Uncharted is arguably one of their best franchises outside for the Last of Us. But I think it's great they're not making more in the series, because it sounds like it got an ending people enjoyed. With that being said, I think this opens up Naughty Dog to make new IPs and maybe even go back to their well of content to continue past projects, like idk, maybe Jak & Daxter making a long awaited comeback? Or a remastered set of the Jak & Daxter series. What do you think Naughty Dog has in store for us?

It's crazy to think someone you respected as an artist, could be a bad person. But, it's good to never to fully trust celebs, because they're not always what you expect them to be. Anyway, they say they're continuing Rick and Morty, and I think it'll be fine without Roiland. Dan Harmon is still a big factor of the show imo, so I think with him still there, they can make due with what they have. But yeah, crazy to see how some celebs are behind closed doors.

I really wonder if Steam is going to take this game down. It doesn't even resemble a game at this point. It kinda reminds me how people throw up those gofundme's or kickstarter campaigns to make money for dumb reasons. This feels much like that, in that this guy made a shit game, and raised the price by a ton in the hopes someone dumb enough would waste money on it. All he needs is one guy to pay $2000 and he could peace out. Maybe that's all he was hoping to get, but if anything I imagine a $1 priced game would sell more and possibly make him more than $2000. Yikes, this guy sounds like a tool. And the game looks like just a run of the mill visual novel that anyone could make these days. But yeah, this guy was obviously trying to get publicity and a quick buck before this eventually gets taken down. Because lets face it, once Steam gets an idea of this, which they may have already, they should be removing this game soon. Or at least I would expect them to do so.

At least I am assuming it's the John Cena Showcase mode, similar to their other showcase modes going over wrestlers like Rey Mysterio last year. Easy option to go with John Cena's career as a showcase storyline. The trailer doesn't show a whole lot of what to expect from the new game, but my guess is that it will be much of the same as last years WWE 2K22. The game comes out March 14th, and as you can tell it drops with a few versions. I don't know if I will be buying this or the new AEW game when it eventually drops. I hope wrestling games are good again. :D

That's the thing, I don't know if they got in trouble for giving the codes away for free. I think it was more so when some people tried to sell them instead. But I may be wrong. It could be that they got in trouble for giving them away for free. Actually I'm starting to remember. I think Humble Bundle allowed you to input your steam name on your humble bundle account. And when you purchased anything, I think they kind of tied those codes to your steam profile, so if they are used on another account, they might catch you that way. I don't know. All I know is that someone told me they were banned because they gave away a code of theirs. So essentially, be careful about the codes you buy/sell/giveaway if it's humble bundle at least. Or just don't connect your steam account to your humble page.

That's fair. I myself have never built a PC, so the idea of building one is kinda scary, especially when you pay so much for the parts. I've heard horror stories of new builders getting their parts and then blowing the PC up because they did things wrong. If I ever build a PC, I'm using as many guides as I can use haha. I would go pre-built, but I think I like the idea of building my own PC, from my own hands. One of these days I'll do it.

I agree. I hate to say it, but I think Metal Gear Solid is good where it's at. I don't think we necessarily need a sequel or a new game altogether. I would still like a remake or remaster of the original game, but I don't think it needs to continue on in a new direction. I mean, if Kojima came back, I'd maybe reconsider, but I'd rather him just start fresh new IPs anyway.

That is just insane. I don't know how anyone can think something like that is worth that much, especially it being a digital game, with digital graphics, and did I say it was digital? lol But seriously, this has to be some kind of publicity thing to draw news outlets in, in the hopes of getting some idiots to actually buy it. I wonder if anyone actually did buy this.

I never thought I'd be hearing about Justin Roiland possibly being a horrible human being, but it may be reality. Justin Roiland, as most of us know him for being the co-creator of Rick and Morty and also the found of Squanch games who developed games like the recent High on Life and Trover saves the Universe, has resigned from his studio Squanch Games after allegations of domestic abuse. He also was forced out of his show Rick and Morty, which will continue on without him. Hell, Hulu even cut ties with him. This dude is done everywhere. I wonder if he's guilty of what he's being accused of. I heard he also got it for false imprisonment. All stemming from a relationship he had in 2020. Do you think Roiland is done after all of this? Or will we have to wait for the inevitable court cases to find the full story on this? More details on what he did can be found here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/rick-and-morty-will-continue-without-justin-roiland-after-abuse-charges/ar-AA16JKUq

Well it's happening. Goldeneye 007 is coming to Xbox Game pass in just a couple days. You can see the reveal trailer below. I might download it to see how different it feels gameplay wise. But from the looks of it, it's exactly the same game from what I see. There will probably be some changes due to copyright and all that, so I wonder what else has been changed from the original base game to now.

It's sad not seeing consoles or other devices like that again. But I guess the main thing about it was that it wasn't adult friendly if that makes sense. I think it's because it looks too kid friendly, or childish, that adults didn't have any interest in it back then, while us kids loved the hell out of those translucent consoles. I think it's the aesthetic of it, in that adults aren't interested in having a colorful console sitting next to their VHS player back in the day, or looking like some giant popsicle on ones entertainment center. Now days I think nostalgia has set in, and people are taking interest in these old style designs again. I wonder if one day we'll see a resurgence of translucent cases/devices.

I thought there was a limit to how much you can charge for a game as well. My guess is that maybe he had to reach out to Steam about allowing that price point, or they do let you price as high as you want. I would have thought they would have some kind of vetting process for this sort of thing. But I do think in the future if they haven't already, they should set a pricing limit so that games like this don't get onto their marketplace.

Surprised it wasn't publicized more. You'd think with it being such a big thing, that it would have graced the news a lot around the time. I don't remember hearing much about it back then. He sounds like one of those who probably hid his emotions well. A lot of the soldiers who went to war held their feelings in, or put on a proud face about their time in the war. Especially back then when most men thought it was weak to show emotion. I can't say for sure if your grandpa was suffering, or if he was proud of his service, you can never tell with them. We've come a long ways when it comes to inclusion in video games. And with RDR2, I think they tried to paint a more woke crew. I don't like using woke, but it explains how I feel with a lot of the cast of RDR2. They are a posse of many races and religions it seems, and for the most part they seem to be a family, until things blow up of course. I think characters like Arthur, are made to write the wrongs of the past. Arthur is a deeply flawed person and has done a lot of bad things, but the game is his journey to becoming a better person. These characters may be corrupt, but it shows that even bad people can be redeemed, especially someone like Arthur, who I'm pretty sure has done some messed up shit in his lifetime. He even states such, but throughout the game you see Arthur change from a bad guy, into someone you can root for. It's kind of the opposite of Breaking Bad. Instead Arthur breaks good haha.

Yeah I can see that. I still think they'll try to do that, but I'm hoping not. I guess it wasn't an issue with PSVR 1, so maybe we'll get lucky and things will be fine for PSVR2 and its release. I don't know what it is, but it seems in recent years, scalpers are picking off everything new they can get. If it's gaming related or collectible, they're going to scalp it in the hopes of making some profit. idk why, but it feels like it's happening more than usual these last few years.

The problem with Sega around that time is that they kept wanting to make new consoles. The Sega Saturn came out with little fanfare and they decided to move on to the Dreamcast soon after. And I'm pretty sure there was a point where Sega was in talks about making yet another console after the Dreamcast before they inevitably decided it was time to call it quits on making consoles. I may be wrong on that, but I swear that's what Sega did. They messed up by making too many new consoles too soon.

I remember when I joined my first every video game forum, my username there was VideoGameKing or something along those lines. I know for a fact I used that name in Star Craft when I was a kid, but I don't think I ever used the name after that haha. I guess you could say I thought I was a pro at video games, when in reality I don't think I ever was lol.

I wish video game consoles released translucent consoles & peripherals again. I miss the days of the see through consoles and handhelds. Now days I don't feel like they make an attempt to make consoles different like this anymore. The skins and styles I see for the most part don't really do anything fun with the design. idk, maybe it's just me, but I think most new consoles and devices get lazy with the creative design and look.

There is a new game on steam that'll cost you $2000 if you want it, and guess what, it's not even 2 hours long. Source - https://gamerant.com/most-expensive-steam-games-hidden-and-unknown-price/ This new Steam game is titled The Hidden and Unknown and is developed by ProX and is currently the most expensive game on steam. The reason for charging so high, is that the developer feels he has every right to charge what he wants. And even goes on to say that if they don't like the game, they can complete it in less then 2 hours and still get the refund, and he even suggests people do that if they feel the cost isn't fair. So far two people have left a review on the game, one saying it was worth the buy and another saying would buy again. 10/10. Though one review is a pre-release review so I'm assuming they got a copy for free haha. While the other reviewer may have actually purchased it. Could you see many people buying this? I wonder if any lets players will pay the $2000 just to stream it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2193940/The_Hidden_and_Unknown/

Yeah it's a problem when it comes to buying codes from third parties. You never know exactly what you're getting and it could take months or even years before a studio takes notice and removes the game or whatever. I heard someone got in trouble for selling their codes from a humble bundle. Even giving them away to people can cause issues I hear.

Surprised to see that no one has really made a topic about this game. I'm sure it's been brought up, but I'm not seeing a dedicated topic just for it. And honestly this game looks pretty impressive. Though maybe not a game I'd be able to handle myself, I can see many people really enjoying this game. Anyway, it's an upcoming FPS with ARPG elements. To me it looks similar to Bioshock, mixed with that recent Prey game. Is it something you guys are looking forward to? It looks like a chaotic game, and one I probably won't be patient enough to play.

Oh for sure. You'll see stuff like that all the time. I usually just ignore it for the most part and never open MS office. That is true. Do pre-builts have warranties that stop you from opening your PC? I figure it's totally fine to open a PC up and add/remove from it if needed. I hope that doesn't void any warranties in itself. That'd be crazy imo.
