Well yeah, that's a given. As long as it's used on single player and you're not profiting you should be fine. But, there is always a risk they could ban you for using any kind of mods. VR is going strong these days. There is a new PS VR coming soon. I also see a lot of content around VR on YouTube and other streaming sites. As for RDR2, there are VR mods, but no official release from Rockstar for their own.

Not too big with Final Fantasy myself. Not really feeling the song either. But I'll give it a 5/10. https://youtu.be/FNQu3O1C4Pw One of my favorite video games soundtracks. Far Cry 3s Blood Dragon. So good. Power Glove makes some great music.

Don't own an original Xbox, but I will certainly keep this in mind if I ever pick one up. I know there is a bit scene online of people bringing old consoles and games back online. And I love that. Helps give a fresh bit of life to these old consoles and games.

Tenchu series for sure. I think the last game in the series dropped in 2007 on the 360. Or from what I remember. I second syphon filter, mainly because I played the hell out of the first two games demos. Lol. Other than that, I'd like to see a new Einhander game. I really liked that game back in the day, but I think it was the only game in the series.

With the inclusion of game pass and cloud gaming. Xbox could easily jump in with a handheld of their own. But I don't think they will. The reason I don't think they will is because of the xcloud. You could instead get a smartphone a controller connection for said ohooe and then play some Xbox games right there. I don't think they feel they need to get into it. But, they could easily do it if they wanted to. And it may be more of a reality with the success of the switch and the steam deck. Could push them into making one of their own.

I love it. I think it's great as long as you're not profiting off of that fan game. Plus it's illegal to do, so there's that. But I think it's perfectly fine to make a fan game to pay your respects to a game you love. I hate when people get told to stop because a studio doesn't want them making a game based on theirs. But I think it's fair use as long as you're not selling it or profiting from it. Which is why I hate when Nintendo or Rockstar stop these developers from making these fan games. Let them have fun.

I don't own one yet. But my nephew does and he has the mixed ones, with red and blue. I think he has other joycons, but I'm not sure what colors they are. I actually helped send one of his joycons in for repair a while back.

I don't know what their service was like. But I don't get why they use the friend code system. They should do what the other consoles do. Or do what discord does with names. Xbox copied that idea and that's how gamertags work now. So you can be the 100th gamerking or something lol.

I don't think a new PS handheld has to meet the same specs of a PS5. That's kinda tough to do. But i think as long as they make quality games, that's all that matters. I don't think you can get the same specs as a PS5 in such a small form factor either. I'm sure the steam deck had to cut some corners to make it work for them. I think if they can match what the switch and steam deck can do. It'll work out much better.

I didn't own the original Xbox growing up. Was still on the Sony bandwagon, as I had a PS1 and a PS2. But jumped to 360 when that came out. But I was always hopeful they would make all original Xbox games backwards compatible. As there are games I would like to play. I know some work on the 360 and xbone. But I wish all of them were compatible.

When I hear the word gimmick, I think of things that came and went. I think VR is only getting more popular as the devices keep getting better and better. As well, VR is becoming more affordable to get into. When I think of gimmick, I think of 3D TVs, or those shock collars you can get for VR where it lets you feel pain. VR in my opinion has staying power. Most gimmicks don't.

The only issue I have with cloud gaming so far is the streaming aspect. It's not all that great yet. Some people won't even be able to play this based on how well their internet is. I think once internet is more available to the world and at higher speeds, is when cloud gaming is going to really take off.

And another thing with retro, is I think retro can be used for dated tech that had been deemed obsolete. So old computers and other tech would probably qualify as retro too at some point. I'd say DVD players are retro now, not many people buy them anymore. And digital is taking over.

YES!!!! Thank you. I knew there was another site. I must have confused it with this new backloggd site, because the name is very similar. But yeah I think I had an account on this years ago, but never used it. That's awesome. I know there is probably another I'm forgetting. But I think backloggery was the one most people used to track their games.

The new Need for Speed Unbound game is dropping soon, and the team behind it, Criterion had an interview with the people at Eurogamer. And during the interview they discuss the possibility of a new Burnout game. But that there are no "immediate plans" at this time to make a new game in the series. But that means there is a chance of seeing a new Burnout game. But when do you think it'll happen? With EA out there, it could take a very long time. If you're a fan of Criterion and the games they make, I'd recommend reading the interview with the Creative Director of Unbound - Kieran Crimmins. Link below. https://www.eurogamer.net/criterion-has-hopes-for-a-burnout-return-but-there-are-no-immediate-plans

Essentially services where you can keep track of all of the games you own and play, along with being able to review the games you own on the same platform. Links can be found below for the ones I am aware of, or discussed in my previous post. Backloggd - https://www.backloggd.com/ Letterboxd - https://letterboxd.com/ (for movies only) I thought there was others like Backloggd, but am not sure what ones are worth checking out. I'll check out GOG Galaxy though. I think Backloggd is free to use as well, all of them are for the most part. But I know you can pay for special features at Letterboxd.

Logitech has jumped into the handheld fray by making their own Steam Deck competitor. Well kinda. It's more for cloud gaming, but is also usable as an android device, so you may be able to use it as an emulator or something. It's also pretty cheap right now, going for $299.99 on Amazon. So if this is something you see yourself buying, it's on sale now. Keep in mind though, this device is more geared towards streaming. Linus Tech Tips did a video on it comparing it to the Steam Deck. Check it out below:

I know there are sites/services out there that let you track the games you own and play. Kinda like what Letterboxd does with movies, but instead one for games that allows you to track your collection, and show what you're currently playing. I know there's one that allows you to somewhat do this, and it's called Backloggd. I checked it out earlier today and I wasn't sure if it was something I'd use. I thought there was another video game tracking site out there that allowed you to list everything, including what you're playing, your ratings, reviews, etc. Any suggestions for others out there?

The future of the Switch is just a more upgraded one. I think Nintendo found a niche that they fit perfectly in. They have a handheld and a console in one, it defeats the purpose of having to make a secondary handheld for the market at this point (like a Gameboy/DS/3DS for example). Nintendo could easily make new versions of the Switch, and just upgrade the hardware. That's what I see them doing going forward. There's no point to go back to making handhelds and consoles separate. They can have all of their games grace one console, and don't have to waste money running multiple devices on their system. Nintendo will continue to make the switch going forward with just upgraded hardware.

Does Nintendo even produce Amiibos anymore? I feel like they've kinda forgotten about it. As well, does the Switch even support Amiibos these days? I think when it first came out it was a big thing, but now days I don't hear much talk about Amiibos.

Honestly not sure. I have a couple Xbox One controllers from Microsoft, a couple Xbox One controllers from PowerA and a slew of other controllers for other consoles. I can't be bothered to count them all, but I got some for the N64, PS1, PS2, 360, PC, NES, SNES, Saturn, etc.

I can see that being the result. But with there already being VR mods out there, I don't see it being that big of a burden for them to implement it. But I doubt Rockstar cares. They'll just let the people make their own VR mods. If they ever do VR for GTA, then there's no excuse to not do it for RDR2.

The game is essentially a resource management game with zombies. For me, it got really repetitive an I hated how glitchy it was for me at times. Also you walk and run far too slow imo, at least from what I remember playing it. I imagine Days Gone is more comfortable to control, but I don't know if it really compares to Days Gone. With State of Decay and its sequel, you pretty much deal with the same zombies. You have to scavenge houses for supplies, constantly be on your feet because of zombies. You also have to clear out houses from zombie infestations and so on. You can meet survivors on your travels etc. The co-op isn't all that great imo. It just allows you team up with another player. It just makes the person you're playing with, much better than the crappy AI partners.

Did you guys take advantage of any Black Friday sales this year? It's Cyber Monday right now, and I'm willing to bet that each gaming service has deals yet. But come Tuesday, I think these sales will be ended. I was going to buy a couple games, but had to spend money elsewhere recently and decided not to get anything. What games/gaming stuff did you end up picking up?

Oh I totally understand the weirdness in it. But when it comes to cats, they will play with just about anything. So I figured it would be cute to download some games on my old tablet so my cat can mess around with it. I just remember when there was a bunch of memes and videos of cats on the internet playing on phones and tablets. I think my fat cat would get a kick out of it. Dogs on the other hand are harder to get to play something, they don't react the same to phones/tablets from what I see.
