It may have won a ton of awards and fans may be happy with the campaign and portions of the multiplayer, but the free to play aspect ruined it. I haven't played the game myself, but I'm not much of a Halo fan. But, I know how important the franchise is to fans and how well received it has been over the years. But, the free to play aspect has left fans wanting more. I hear they don't have modes they should have had at release, and I hear their battle pass or road ahead is not very good. The Act Man did a good video about it, and he expresses all the problems better than I can. Basically he doesn't paint a good picture for the future of Infinite, because the game is already losing players left and right. Maybe one day Infinite can catch up and get good, but not the free to play method it seems.

It's also hyperkin, so they might charge a bit extra as well. But to be fair, I think their release of the Duke controller was kinda fairly priced, but I think it's gone up recently in price, so maybe I'm wrong on that now. As long as it's priced around the same, or hell, even lower, I'll be happy. Controllers these days are so expensive, and it seems like the third party ones tend to be a bit cheaper in price. Hyperkin not always the case, but they aren't too expensive, so I have hope this too isn't too expensive. As for retro-gouging, I believe ya on that. I can see some collectors buying this because of the retro look of it. Saying retro for the 360, feels so weird lol. I know people who collect controllers, and they'll be after this for sure.

Ah man, I was really looking forward to this. I used to play the EA college football games back when they released them, but they haven't released a new game in the series since 2014, but they're back with a deal from 2023 to 2027 I think. But they had to push it back to delay the new College Football game. But knowing EA, we're probably going to end up seeing much like Madden in controls, which means very minimal innovation in the genre of football games. I wish the people behind NFL 2K5 made these college football games, at least then we'd have something good to look forward to for football games lol.

If you want to go back in time a bit and use an Xbox 360 controller, you can, because Xbox 360 controllers still work, but... they don't work for the current Xbox consoles, just PC and the 360. Well Hyperkin has changed that and re-released an Xbox 360 controller that looks like the classic white arcade controller we all know from the early Xbox 360 days. This controller has pretty much the same design as the original aside from the Xbox One/Series X/S controls being present. Check it out below if you want. I still really like the 360 controller, so I may pick this up if there are other colors. Only concern I have is the price, I don't know it. I hope it's fairly priced around the $60 price tag at most. Otherwise lower if possible would be nice. :) https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/hyperkin-reveals-official-xbox-360-replica-controller-for-xbox-and-pc

Good, this should have happened a long time ago, especially with how easy it was for developers to get their crap games on there. I mean, it should be easy for developers to submit games, but they should at least be looked over by a person or a panel to decide if the game is competent enough to add to the marketplace or not. Hell, leave it to the users to test it before releasing it. I'm sure you can get gamers to volunteer their time to try new games before they release to the marketplace, whether they be good or bad. Good start on Sony for actually changing this. Maybe those devs releasing crap will actually step up their development. I doubt that though.

I'm sure there are apps for dogs. But I doubt it's the same as what they have for cats. Cats are weird and will play with everything. So it makes sense that there are apps for cats. Dogs on the otherhand will probably just break your tablet in the process. They probably have more apps for dogs that are about training and all that.

This is an odd request, but I'm curious if there are any games available on mobile, preferably android, either for phones or tablets that are made for cats. I remember seeing videos of cats playing games like Fruit Ninja. And I was curious if there are any games made just for your cat? I kinda want to try having my cat play something, mainly because why not, and aw how cute! :D This article made me think of this: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/distract-cat-video-game-apps-160000183.html Any others you know of? I don't even know if my cat would play a game. He has a thing about phones, but he usually likes to lay on it instead.

Sad to see a veteran developer doing something shady, but I'm sure many people in power at these game companies have done some shady stuff. I'm pretty sure some people who worked at Activision, Ubisoft and EA have done far worse. This is alleged to have taken place in Japan. Yuji Naka is also the developer of Phantasy Star, and ChuChu Rocket. Anyway, it is alleged that he and two other Square Enix employees invested in Square Enix stock in preperation for the game Dragon Quest Tact.

$250, which was mentioned in my first post. So it's pretty much $100 more than some of the other pro controllers out there. I can't see myself spending that much money on a controller. I don't need a pro controller like this to game. It's probably really nice and comfy, but not for $250.

It could also have something to do you your web browser. What kind of browser are you using? I was using chrome when I tried it, and it worked fine for me, no lag or problems. It doesn't seem like it would be a resource hog for most computers. Do you have any ad blockers or any extensions that could slow it down? Something like that could be causing issues.

The thing is, these headsets are costly to make I imagine, on top of that, the PS4 VR was about the same or more than some PS4 consoles at release. So it's kinda to be expected. Just sucks for us consumers who can't afford it, as we may never get the chance to play it because of the high price. Why not? The state of VR seems to be pretty good at the moment. Expensive for sure, but I imagine VR is a ton of fun if you had the money for it. I doubt VR will get that low. If it does it will probably happen when these consoles are obsolete and we're already a few generations ahead.

Really is weird saying it's been 20 years since Sly Cooper released. I didn't play it growing up, but I remember wanting to get it. I actually just got a couple of the games from a thrift store a couple years ago and added them to my collection. I was happy about that. But yeah, it's weird seeing some of the games you played turning 20.

I looked it up, and the prices for a Switch Dock are pretty high themselves, costing around $150 for a new one, and a refurbished one is like $80-$100 or so. So I guess this isn't as badly priced compared to the Switches dock.

House Flipper sounds like it would fit well into what you're looking for. I've been playing it as of late, and it's one of those games you can chill out and just build. You buy a house, clean it up, paint it, fix it up, furnish it, and then you put it up for auction. While you're flipping houses, there will be interested parties on the left of the screen saying exactly what they like and hate. So you kinda want to match what they want. But the best thing to do is just build, make rooms, and furnish it and then auction. I get stuck in adding the miscellaneous stuff, like towels in the bathroom, or a desk and PC in a bedroom. But, it's a fun game to play while you listen to music and relax. Also, when I started, I was already flush with cash, like $30,000 plus in cash, so you don't really need to grind in order to get going in this.

That's a good point, because now they can also put in a mix of Japanese only games that released on the Saturn. That's another thing I like about these consoles, because it allows me to play some of these highly rare and expensive games.

So not so much a remake, but I will say retro game emulation, on the switch and everything else. When I played Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Switch with my nephew a few years back. With emulation he was able to rewind the game and keep attempting a spot he was unable to get past. We definitely didn't have that option in the original game. If I failed at a certain part enough, I'd have to start over. And emulation I believe allows us to increase the speed of the games, so that's another option available that we didn't have before.

I'm honestly not sure. Most of the open world games I have played, always utilize the waypoint system or have markers on the map for important locations. I'm not saying there isn't any games like that, but I'm having a hard time of thinking of them, because most open world games try to guide you to many interests along with the main story.

I can answer the question about RDR2. The NPCs will make comments about Arthur's looks/appearance based on many factors. They will comment about how dirty you are if you don't bathe in the game often, to the point where one of them will force Arthur to clean up in camp. I think it was Mrs. Grimshaw, I forget. Other times they will comment on your hair/beard growth. Will comment if your clothes are dirty. Also I think depending on your honor, they will comment differently.

I usually try to play the good guy and keep my honor for example high. Like in RDR2. I tried to play the game recently as a bad Arthur, but I soon started to care about his character again and I couldn't take him down the path of dishonor, so I started to do good things to bring my honor up again so I can get the best ending. Otherwise I tend to go the good guy route. Even when I try to do an evil playthrough, I find myself changing my mind and becoming good. Idk, maybe it's the redemption arc, maybe that's why I did it with RDR2.

I think it would be interesting to play as a squirrel maybe, or one of those flying squirrels. I imagine it'd be fun to control an animal like that. Also, maybe a bit of bacteria that has to grow from the smallest of specs to a sickness or something. Maybe a spin-off of those games where you have to infect the whole world. You should check out Grounded. It's kinda like that but like Honey I Shrunk The Kids. So you're out there defending yourself against spiders, lady bugs, ants and other insects from what I recall playing.

I don't currently use a controller with batteries. I have one of those off brand third party controllers by Power A. It's their pro controller, so it's a wired controller. I just keep it plugged into my PC and one plugged into my xbone. I have't had to buy a new controller in a while, so I can't complain.

I've only played the newest Thief game, but I hear the original games are better. I think there's more than one, but I am not sure. I remember getting Thief on the 360 right around the time before I got an Xbone, so I kinda remember because of that. I enjoyed it for a while, but it became too repetitive.

There was recent reports that Russian tanks were struck by US-supplied missiles in Ukraine, but it turns out the footage was just clips stolen from the military game ARMA 3. This isn't the first time this has happend, as a while back, even I remember seeing some clips on tiktok that were trying to be footage of the Russian/Ukraine conflict that turned out to be using ARMA 3 clips. It's similar to that time when a news outlet shared footage of a plane crashing on a runway, which turned out to be footage from GTA V. And another time someone sent in photos taken in RDR2 as real nature photography and the news aired it. And I can see this happening more and more to spread fake news, especially with how realistic games have become over the years.

I found this article from Dual shockers here: https://www.dualshockers.com/sega-saturn-mini-console/ discussing why they think Sega's next classic console should be a Sega Saturn classic. I think that would be a great idea. The main reason for me, is that there is a lot of great games on the Sega Saturn that were overlooked because of the low sales of the Saturn. I am aware that the Saturn was more popular in Japan, but in the US it didn't do so well. Which is why I think it would be awesome for them to do a classic console for the Saturn. And while we're at it, one for the dreamcast would be cool too.

Dead Island 2 has been delayed again, as it will be taking up to 12 short weeks as they say, and development is on the final straight now. I'm guessing final stretch of development. Anyway, I'm sure this is news people don't want to hear, but maybe it's good news they're taking a little extra time on this. 12 weeks isn't a lot of time, so at least it's not a year or two out. Does this worry you about the quality of the game? Also, they have announced a showcase for Dead Island 2 that will reveal a new trailer and gameplay. Which is Dec 6th this year on their Twitch/YouTube and website. News below.
