For me I like to get some story about the quests you play. Maybe an idea of what to expect, or a clue of what you need to do or who you need to see, etc. Just pointing me to a waypoint to do this isn't enough, you gotta butter me up a bit and give me a reason to want to go on these mini quests or side quests. But, I don't mind finding a quest on my way through the game. Just so long as I'm not given quests out of nowhere without any context to go with them.

I wouldn't say I feel claustorphobic with water levels, but I do hate a lot of them. Some of the water levels in games are poorly done, to the point where they become a chore to play and a burden at that. Look at TMNT and the level where you have to swim through a bunch of electric plants or eels. It was always a level I had my sister play, and she actually did pretty decent at it. But there can be good water levels, like with Super Mario Bros games, Donkey Kong Country, and some of the newer games that have come out. There's probably a bunch of aquatic games with good water physics, like that Ecco The Dolphin or something. Oh, Into the Hunt comes to mind. For me, I'm 50/50 on water levels. As long as they control well and aren't painful to play I'll probably enjoy the level. :)

Xbox 360 blade dashboard will forever be my favorite. But I will say that the PS2 menus were nice to look at too. But then again most of the early CD based consoles had a decent little dashboard/menu when you booted it up. These days it all just looks commercialized, like ads everywhere and sometimes it just feels way too crowded with junk.

And this is why you don't add your CC to any games/accounts your children use, because sadly there are still games/services that haven't learned to make it a requirement to enter CC info before a purchase. For those sites that save your CC info, Epic Games essentially had this option. So when you go in to buy vbucks, you only need to do is select your saved card and make the purchase. That's how these kids are easily able to make these purchases. It's why I don't list my CC number on most of my accounts, because if one account is hacked, they could have full access to my info, or the ability to purchase things as long as they have my bank address. So yeah, scary stuff here, especially if you have kids who don't know what the hell they're doing.

That's exactly the kinda stuff I'm talking about. Cool and fun collectibles you can get based on your favorite games. I'm going to have to check that place out to see if they have any RDR2 themed stuff, or maybe some Metal Gear Themed stuff too. I want to set up a collection of figures and collectibles whenever I get to making my own gaming/entertainment room. I'd love light up stuff like this.

What are some of your favorite video game gadgets, figures, collectibles, posters, and more? I have one of those light up Mario's that came out a few years ago. They are small LED lights that light up, they are of pixelated characters. So the one I have is Mario in a Tanooki Suit. I have a couple keychains hanging up. I also have a Mario 30th anniversary amiibo. I want to eventually add a ton more gaming collectibles in my room and around my house. Do you guys have any cool collectibles from your gaming collection? Maybe some oddities or random stuff you collected growing up? I'd love to know what you have. :)

The upcoming mobile Assassin's Creed game has leaked some gameplay footage on reddit recently. It was also shown on facebook, but it looks like it was taken down from there. The footage on reddit is still up, so take a look at it if you'd like. I watched a little bit of it, and honestly it looks really good for a mobile game. I'm actually kinda interested in checking this out, wonder if my cheap budget phone could play it when it releases. Also, more news on this leak can be found here: https://wccftech.com/assassins-creed-jade-mobile-gameplay-leaked-on-reddit/

I played it a few years ago after a friend suggested it to me. I don't recall being able to download all the songs from Guitar Hero and other such games, my guess is that it's not authorized or provided by the team who makes Clone Hero. As I remember the catalog of songs being very limited, though you could download packs like you said. But there may be some legalities there. When I played it, I don't recall them having a difficulty option. I can't play past the standard difficulty. Easy and Standard is all I can muster, so I remember Clone Hero didn't have that option, so I ended up quitting pretty fast haha.

I didn't even bother with the event. I know for a fact I wouldn't have been able to reach near the top. Hell I only play in bot lobbies because I can't stand dealing with real players while I do the weekly challenges. I know some may say that's lame, but hey, hanging with friends, it doesn't matter. Was this only happening yesterday? Or is it going on all week? I feel like having it all in one day is going to result in some shenanigans and cheaters.

I think I got the Metallica emote in Fortnite recently, but I had vbucks saved up. I haven't purchased anything from the game in a while otherwise. I did pay for the battle pass, but it was like 2 seasons ago or chapters. idk I don't get how it works haha. But I was able to get battle pass the last two times via the vbucks I had saved up.

Only game I can think of is Fortnite. I'm sure they have something planned for the holiday season and new years. They usually have something planned out for the year like that. I doubt they'll do something like a concert, but maybe a fun event you can go to with friends. Maybe something that extends the Battle royale story or something.

I haven't used VR yet, but may be finally getting the chance this Christmas as my nephew is getting a VR headset. Don't recall what kind, but I'll try it out for the first time to see how it feels. I imagine I will have some motion sickness or dizziness from it. I doubt we're meant to be looking at bright screens for long hours though, so inevitably you will be dealing with strain. Hell, looking at my monitor for too long causes my eyes to strain sometime. Any tech you stare at for too long will do it to ya.

If anyone is to make an Evil Within 3, I think I'd rather Tango Gameworks still develop that series. But maybe a spin-off series or something. I think their intention was to focus on the best in the series. Maybe later on after they see how popular the SH2 Remake does, they'll release remakes for SH1, 3 and maybe even SH4 The Room. But that's only if SH2 remake does good sales wise. Why test with the first game when the second game is wildly considered the favorite among fans.

lol I actually mentioned it in my original post. It's called Willy's Wonderland. I didn't think it was that good, honestly kinda forgettable. I don't get why it's so popular myself. I think it looks like it'd be boring to play. I never understood the popularity for it because of that. It's a game I could never get into. But I think the main reason it was so popular is due to the backstories the game put out and the theories fans had. Which is why I think it'd translate well to a movie.

Same. It's been rumored that there's been a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works forever now, but things have changed so much, I don't know if it'll ever happen. Plus I think with Konami owning the rights, I don't know if Kojima can have any say in a movie adaptation. I'm guessing Kojima wants to extend on the story, maybe to tie in before the events of the next game or after it. You can only do so much in one form of medium, maybe he wants to expand the universe to movies and even tv at some point? My guess is that is what Kojima is attempting to do here by first creating a movie.

I still don't get that move. Tomb Raider may have been struggling, but it's still a hugely popular franchise that if done right, could be a huge franchise for them again. But now Amazon has their hands on it. I think Amazon will want something impressive from Crystal Dynamics, and I hope they finally deliver something good again. I liked the first Tomb Raider, but the rest just felt like the same old stuff with nothing impressive added. Same here honestly. I enjoyed the first game of the rebooted series, but the second and third game felt like they added nothing to it. They were fun for a while, but I didn't feel impressed by it. Also I don't think I paid any attention to most of the story to most of the games.

Graphics do matter in some regards, but I don't think it's what makes a game. It's never a reason I decide to buy a game. I look at many more factors like gameplay, reviews, chatter among friends and social media, and so on. I take into account all of that and decide on getting the game off of that. And sometimes I still get a game even though it doesn't look interesting to me. Of course though, some graphics don't age well. A lot of the games during the PS1/N64/Dreamcast/Saturn generation don't look so great today. Early 3D graphics are the main problem. Back in the day they looked fine, but coming back to a lot of games, I found has been tough because of how rough the graphics were. Of course there are still good looking 3D games back then, but I think with it being still new to develop in, developers were just getting used to the idea of 3D gaming. So it took time to make it perfect, and in turn the graphics too. I think these past two generations have gone to a point where graphics look good enough, at least to me. I could go back to the 360 and look at a game and think how good it looks for a game from 2006 or something. HD gaming will look good for a long time to come. But retro 3D is a bit tougher to take in I think.

I thought it was 16 as well, but maybe it is 18, or it depends on your location in the US. I'm 33, so I don't know what the age requirements are in order to get a bank account. I know with a guardian you can start a bank account at any time. I think parents can create a bank account for their kids. Loot boxes should automatically render a game with an M rating. Since it promotes gambling, it should be 18+, which would also require the game to be rated M due to it. I believe that's a rule that some are trying to enact. And I think that's fair. Especially if you can buy loot boxes in game. That in my view constitutes gambling and therefore should in turn result in a game being rated as such. Loot boxes should never be in a game that's rated below Mature. But, only if it's lootboxes you get via buying in game. If you get free loot boxes from the game and playing the game, then I don't see an issue with it and therefore I see no issue rating that an E or T. But, when it sells loot boxes for real money, then yes, it should be rated M. To answer your question, loot boxes should only be for legal adults 18+, or in some states 21+.

I think last one was Call of Duty World at War, but I may be wrong. I think it came out for the Wii. I don't remember if they released anything for the Wii U or since. But I might be wrong. There may have been one or two on the Wii U. The most recent Mortal Kombat game came out on the Switch. Albeit it wasn't as good looking as the other versions, but it plays from what I hear.

I want to say the first time I played Fortnite was probably in 2018 or 2019, or around that time. And then I got back into somewhat recently in 2020-2021 and still play it often with my work friend. I only played it for the battle royale mode for the most part.

I had no clue that Five Nights at Freddy’s was getting its own movie. I'm honestly not surprised by this, as Five Nights at Freddy’s seems like a fan favorite and I can see it translating fine to a movie. Some scary spooky animatronics, could work. What's funny, is that there was a movie kinda similar to Five Nights at Freddy’s, called Willy's Wonderland, and it's about a guy who is tricked into cleaning up an old amusement center or something, and he is attacked by evil animatronics that are possessed by a group of killers. I don't remember it being any good, but it had some funny moments. Anyway, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie is said to be starring Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson, with Blumhouse being involved. I can't say I'm all that interested, but I'm sure there are some fans here. https://deadline.com/2022/12/five-nights-at-freddys-sets-matthew-lillard-amp-josh-hutcherson-1235201233/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

Grand Theft Auto doesn't really count since they are still putting out content for GTA V and are working on a new game as we speak. This was mostly meant for games that have quit coming out, or haven't released a game in a long time. GTA is just taking its sweet old time to release a new game, because they're going to keep milking GTA V for as long as they can.

I did sell my Xbox 360 and a lot of my games to get an Xbox 360 Slim one year. I regret doing it, but it allowed me to game further for a while longer. Other than that, I have never sold my games/consoles to in turn buy a new console. I have thought of doing it from time to time, but never pulled the trigger.

It's worthless to those not in the hobby. That's really it. I wouldn't say it's worthless to me, because for me I enjoy gaming, it makes me happy, relaxes me, etc. So I wouldn't say it's wortless. If anything, it's another one of our hobbies that others may or may not enjoy. And that's okay. Not everyone is going to be a gamer, so to them, it could be worthless and a waste of time. If someone says your hobby is worthless, then just say their hobbies are too, simple as that. If you're having fun, that's all that matters.

Also a big thing of worry, is that many sites can't verify how others got the codes. So some people could be stealing the codes, selling them and running with the cash. That has happened before. To the point that it even banned some users accounts for buying the games. If you ever do buy from a website, make sure it's something like GOG. You should take caution when buying from any online store, especially ones that allow users to buy/sell their own codes.
