If something is too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true. I've played a couple apps that I would consider scams. There was one app where you'd play these games, get credits and then when you had enough you could take your pick of prizes. The prizes were literally stuff you could buy on Amazon for $2-$15 or so. The highest priced items are better, but are still cheap junk. I ended up getting a phone stand and a table lamp that I still use. I didn't pay anything, so just wasted my time pretty much. 😞 I haven't played any of the games that promise to pay you real cash, but I'm sure the majority of them are scammy and promote grinding more than anything. There was also one of those claw machine apps where you'd pay credits to try and get a prize. I wonder how many people win stuff on there.

If you have an iPhone, you may want to check out Elgato's Screen Link app. I haven't used it, but it looks like you can connect that through OBS as well. And may give you a bit more options on production. Sadly I don't think it's available for Android, though I thought I read somewhere they did. Other than that, I think most screen mirror apps would work. I know of Miracast(Android) is what I used with my Windows PC. But that was to mirror my PC to my TV. But it should work with phones to PC as well.

I did find it weird that Konami decided to skip SH1 and go for SH2 to make a remaster, but after hearing what others have said, it kinda makes sense to start with the biggest game of your series, and SH2 clearly was that game. It's talked about in discussions about classic horror games. As well, SH1 connects with SH3, so my guess now, is that they will focus on SH2, then make a SH1 & SH3 combo set. Since I imagine SH1 isn't that long, they could probably get away making it a two parter. This way we can get SH1 & 3 together to connect their stories better. If SH2 remake does really well, which I think it's going to end up selling like crazy, then they will for sure look into remaking SH1 and 3. And maybe even 4. But I am doubtful they will bother with 4. But you never know. What do you think? They could release SH1 & 3 separately, but I think it'd make more sense to include both, just for new fans to understand that these two games are connected.

Anyone here played the new Gotham Knights? It came out last week and it hasn't been getting the greatest of reviews. I heard the big thing is that the combat is pretty mediocre. Not near what they offered with the Batman Arkham Series. I heard they removed the counter button. I don't know how the controls work, but it sounds like you just mash the same buttons over and over. But I could be wrong. Was watching a streamer explain his problems. I've been reading some of the other reviews, and even they are saying bad things about it. Also it's locked ar 30fps I heard. If you've played it, what are your thoughts on it so far?

Any fans of the Dark Pictures Anthology? It's from the creates of Until Dawn, The Quarry and the other Dark Picture Anthology games; Man of Medan, Little Hope, and House of Ashes. This one looks pretty cool. It's like an escape room game. Also it was announced at Gamescom, but I don't remember seeing the trailer. Check it out below. It drops this November. 🙂

I noticed with pro controllers or standard controllers as well, that drift still happens. At least with my Xbox 360, Xbox One controllers they always resulted in drift at some point. I think it's from prolonged use of course, but it is still annoying.

Yeah I saw it was fromsoftware, so I get why it's so sought after. And yeah, I know Rule or Rose is a rare horror game that I think goes for high prices these days. Also maybe some of the fatal frame games.

Is it coming out for PC? Or is it already out on PC? Either way I'll probably pick it up on gamepass whenever I renew it. Been meaning to renew it this week, but been lazy and want to make sure I don't waste any days like with my last gamepass subscription.

I'll have to play it. My brother played it and mentioned it wasn't that good, but maybe it's time I checked it out myself. I hope the new Mafia game turns out to be good. I got the original Mafia on PC for free a while back, was going to replay it, but idk if I can get into the old controls lol.

Finally getting back into RDR2 after a short break. I'm trying to complete all of the challenges right now, taking a while. I want to try and complete the gambling one, but I don't want to play poker. I think there's an outfit you can buy that lets you cheat at poker, so I'll have to figure out if that's true or not. I know in RDR1 there was a suit I think that helped you cheat at Poker. But yeah, getting back into that since I can actually sit at my computer again. 😄

The thing with this game, is that it was just released randomly and out of the blue. They did so because of how bad the game turned out, as they didn't want as much publicity. But, idk why they didn't just re-release the 360 version, updated a bit of course. It probably would have worked. But yeah, a switch isn't going to replicate Alan Wake remastered all that well. This version even looks worse than the 360 version. And I agree, the Switch needs to catch up with current hardware, or at least close to it.

Read here: https://mp1st.com/news/report-modern-warfare-2-ps5-disc-only-houses-70mb-of-data Of course they are doing this. The disc for MW2 on PS5 supposedly only comes with the license for the game. If you try to load the game without internet or I assume without the updates, it asks you to connect to psn and update. The first update is over 40GB or so. Not sure on the base game size though. But with COD and all the modes, it's probably well over 100GB. This worries me though, because we're already getting physical releases from Nintendo where they just toss in a code for the game in a plastic case. Now, it could just be the disc having the license. Which is nice and all, but how do those who don't have internet, or want to play multiplayer, get to enjoy game? Now games will just drop with the license on disc. That disc will probably become useless once the PS5 loses support, so that's another issue.

I have mostly played the LEGO Batman games in the past. I maybe played one of the star wars LEGO games as well, but it was briefly. I think they're fun and competent games. I wouldn't go crazy over a new release or anything, but I may consider checking it out when it goes on sale. I'm sure I played some of the LEGO games from back in the 90s as well, but I forget most of them.

Silent Hill 2 and the rest of the series would probably make the cut here. SH2 especially, because I'm more familiar with it. It was all about psychological horror, discovering why you're there, what happened to his wife, etc.

I had no idea the Switch was getting a port of Alan Wake Remastered. I read a review on it though and the review claimed it looked pretty bad, of course with the Switches hardware that's kinda to be expected. The graphics are pretty bad according to some of the reviews I've checked out. They should've just used the 360 version. This one looks worse than the 360 version. Check out this review to get an idea.

Modern Warfare II comes out on the 28th. I've been seeing reviews on it as of late and it seems to be getting its usual reviews, but also some painting it as a mediocre game. At least when it comes to the campaign. Not sure what reviewers are saying about the MP, but I'm sure it holds up today. These days I can't get into the series anymore. I'm not expecting much from it honestly. But, videogamedunkey made a good video on it. 😄

Thing is, Xbox is having a great time with how well received game pass is. That's why I feel like they're pulling ahead of Sony these days. They have a decent exclusives list, it's just that a lot of their exclusives are smaller titles it seems. But gamepass is the main selling point for Xbox consoles.

I think the GTA games on Xbox are compatible on the 360. Would be nice if Rockstar made it possible to make all of their games backwards compatible on Xbox consoles. Also, this is a topic about Xbox backwards compatibility. Maybe consider making a topic in the Nintendo area about games you guys would like to see made backwards compatible on Nintendo consoles.

Xbox P Series? I sure hope not lol. The kids will have a field day with a name like that. and with series at the end, I could see people saying "haha Xbox Ps." Like Xbox has to pee. Just like xbone all over again. 😄 I really think they should just call it Xbox and the version type or something. Or go out and call it Xbox 5 or something.

There's not many options when it comes to making money on video games. It's either you work on them, stream them, review them, join an eSports league, etc. It's kinda hard to make money from gaming. You could be a game tester, but I hear that job is notoriously bad, you literally play the same areas over and over attempting to break the game. Game developers also don't make a ton either. It's hard to make money from gaming.

I'm worried about the Silent Hill 2 remake because of how they changed the camera angles. I don't think the game will feature the same unique camera angles the original game did. Like that top down view you get in some areas. I hope that's somewhat part of it with updated controls. I just hope Bloober team will do it justice.

I'm assuming video games will just continue to progress. It could potentially evolve into something bigger down the road. Kinda like what we're seeing with VR. Maybe we'll have machines that will let you live in any virtual worlds. We can only go up from here after all. Now, how long will gaming be around, no idea. I could see it going for 100+ years like movies have already achieved. I figure people still like movies, so gaming will be around for a very long time. It's hard to predict too far out, because the future isn't certain. Anything can happen going forward. We could go through an apocalypse or something in the future, global warming etc. A lot could stop our progress.

Yeah if the prices were a bit lower it may be worth it. Whenever I get a steam deck, I'll probably skip out on buying the dock until I can find a good cheap one. I don't want to pay nearly $100 for one. I'll be fine playing it handheld.

Yeah some monitors are crazy expensive. For my PC, some parts were given to me for free, so I probably saved some money there. Also got one monitor for free from another boss around the same time. But yeah, I would love to upgrade to bigger monitors eventually. As well, build a new, upgraded PC.

I've used a mix. Most of the PCs I've owned had windows. But I also installed Linux on some old PCs in the past and also have a laptop/tablet combo that has Ubuntu on it. (Linux)
