I can't say I've heard of that, can you explain what it's about? Maybe that'll clear it up a bit for me. That would be an interesting future, but I don't see AI getting to a point of feeling real enough. Maybe via a text chat or something like that, but I can't see AI landing realistic human connection, conversation, emotions etc. I think AI can learn things, but I don't think AI will learn to feel or anything like that. But, maybe I'm wrong.

Sadly can't read article, requires I buy a subscription. I can see many people using VR to meditate. But I feel you'd get the same effect as wearing headphones, listening to music and wearing glasses. Don't you usually close your eyes while meditating anyway? So idk if VR is really that practical unless you keep your eyes open. idk, that's just me, maybe they find a way to make it work.

I've never ruined a screen before, they've only ever just died on me from using them. I've used a magnet on a crt screen a long time ago, but I believe it takes a lot of magnetic use to really do damage. One of my first monitors was going bad, and I think I used a magnet on it a few times because I liked how cool it looked when you did it. Yeah I was dumb. Anyway, I remember it didn't cause any damage, but when I would shut down it would show a bleeding effect on the screen. I've gone through a couple mice recently. One being a wireless mouse that I've grown used to. Clicking on things wasn't working, so I got a cheap amazon basics mouse recently. So far it's okay, but a bit small. I eventually want to upgrade to something bigger.

I remember my sister renting a game genie from a video rental store in my hometown. I've never really used one myself. I've been wanting to buy one and add it to my collection, and try it out and see what fun stuff you can do with it. That part where he puts the cart in the game genie hurt me. Take care of it please! 😄

EA just revealed the new Need for Speed Unbound. Criterion Games are back, and it's their first NFS in nearly 10 years or so. This time around they're changing it up a bit, instead of photorealistic graphics, they decided to do an animated art style instead. Check out the trailer below and discuss your thoughts on it. Is this going to be a buy? This does give me the vibe of past NFS games, like NFS underground.

I disagree. I'd argue that GTA IV does things better than a lot of new games today. There are even aspects of the game that exceed what GTA V does, and even newer titles. I shared a video a while ago about how GTA IV is better than GTA V, or what it does better than GTA V. You can view that video below. I'd say it still holds up quite well today.

I think it depends on the game. Obviously the longer the better, or unlimited like Empire said above. I think as long as it has more than a 10hr story, it should be good enough for me. I look at games like GTA V, RDR2, Skyrim and a few others as having the appropriate length. As long as there is enough to keep me invested, I'll be happy.

I don't usually bother with walkthroughs all too much. I will use them if I need to find certain items, like in RDR2, but I don't use it for any story based portions. I don't like missions to be spoiled, but I don't mind spoiling the locations of where certain items and animals are. The majority of the time I'm too lazy to bother searching them up, and then having them side by side when I game.

That's a good question. Obviously RDR2 would be one of my first picks to go in and spend a day in. But knowing myself, I doubt I would be able to survive in that world for very long. Another game/series would probably be Super Mario Bros. 3 or World. I imagine those would be fun to enter and hang out in for a while.

I wouldn't even go that far. NFTs outside of gaming were kinda popular, but once it got into the gaming side, it kinda slowed down to a crawl. And now with all of these companies jumping on board and then realizing there's no money there, so they back track and act like it was all a test. I'm sure it was a test, but it's a failed test and I hope NFTs stay out of gaming altogether. We don't need NFTs to buy digital items.

I'm willing to bet you have more than enough time to complete GTA V. GTA VI won't be coming out for a while yet, likely another 2 years. The game looks to be getting close to completion, but it's clear there is still a lot of work to do before it officially releases. I think you have more than enough time. 🙂

Yeah it's always been an Xbox exclusive franchise. I think it originally was built in house and the moved on to another dev team. I may be wrong, never really played much Forza in my day. But it is considered to be one of the best racing franchises out there. And hey, maybe one day we'll see Forza pop on PlayStation. With how some games are showing up on each others consoles, it's a possibility I think.

It's already becoming a good way for some to make money. With more organizations coming up, and new tournaments and events happening, I expect it to only keep getting better. As it gains popularity, I can see the profits for winners going up.

RDR2 for sure. It's one of those games where you can encounter something new every so often. I'm still on my second playthrough, and I'm still taking it slow, trying to collect/open everything. I want to do it before the end of the game. I won't spoil anything though. GTA V and GTA IV as well are impressive in details. GTA IV, even though it's been 14 years since it released. It still holds up in terms of the presentation and the little things. As well, The Last of Us was really impressive, even the original PS3 version, which is the one I played. It still looks great today. Just Cause 3 & 4 are dope in the graphic departments, and it's so fun using the grapple hook and the flight suit.

Yeah it's a nice little feature, but I tend to just use the catalog so I can mass buy stuff. It's a lot faster. But if you're wanting to immerse yourself more in the game, buying it that way is an option. I believe you can do it in any shop, including the doctors office. I don't think you can do it for clothes though, that'd be kinda cool if you could.

To some extent sure, but I think video games are a lot easier to control than say back in the 90s, maybe during the N64/PS1 era. They were just getting started on 3d graphics, so it make sense that they were still getting the hang of things. Now days I'd say controls are a lot better and smoother. I think it's due to the controls being weighty, like for example. When you move around, sometimes it takes a little bit for the character to move when you push. I find that sometimes when I am moving around, I can't stop myself sometimes, and have to move at a certain angle to use a prompt. It's quite annoying, but I've gotten used to it. It really does take a bit to get used to. Even RDR1 had weighty controls at times, same with most newer GTA titles.

That's a good question, one I'm not 100% sure I can answer. I can't stand when they use lens flares in games. It's a small thing, but makes no sense. Because lens flair is just what happens when recording something on a camera. So it doesn't really make sense to then include it in, say, Call of Duty or something. The same goes for movies, but it makes more sense if it's actually from a lens flare, but, It's weird when they add them to movies on purpose.

Do you guys track the movies you watch? Maybe it's at a website where you can mark the movies you have watched and even leave a review and a rating. I know of Letterboxd, which allows you to rate/review movies and some tv shows. I use it from time to time to review the movies I watch. I don't do any in depth reviews, just leave my rating and a short opinion on the movies. Do you guys use this service? Do you know of any other services to track movies? I imagine imdb is a good one as well, but I personally prefer letterboxd.

Nah, I think there's a devoted fanbase for Raiden out there, it's just that they kinda did a bait and switch. When they promoted the game, they made it look like it'd feature Snake, as they didn't want to reveal Raiden, as it'd be a spoiler. It's probably good they didn't, because I think the reason they didn't reveal Raiden as the main character, is because fans would end up changing their mind about getting it. But yeah, I liked Raiden in that Metal Gear Rising game, at least from the brief time I played it. But before it took me a while to get into him as a character.

I would need to buy a controller attachment to make it work. I can't do mobile controls, or touch screen controls very well. But if this works with a controller attachment, I may have to check it out. The only other issue is the file size of PS2 games. It's going to take up a lot of storage grabbing iso's of the games you want to play.

The most frightening moment in gaming, for me, would have to be playing Silent Hill 2. I don't play many horror games these days, but when I played Silent Hill 2, I couldn't stick with it. I wouldn't say I was scared, I couldn't get into the controls mostly. The mix of having to run from enemies, and deal with the tank controls, was quite tough. And I think that highetend the fear factor. If the controls were better, I think I would have played it all the way through.

Nope, I have no intentions of buying the new COD MW2. I may pick it up later on, maybe, but I doubt I will play it much. COD for me hasn't interested me in quite a while, and I don't see myself jumping back into it anytime soon unfortunately.

True, they have every right to take the content down, but I feel it's petty at this point, considering it's old and dated content that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I doubt TakeTwo/Rockstar cares what this old content shows. They just want to use their power on people because they can.

The tattoos of pro wrestler Randy Orton probably won't be added in future games. The tattoo artist who did the tattoos, has sued 2K and WWE for the use of her art, and she actually won. The artist has been in contact with the WWE since 2009 about merchandise using her designs. The WWE originally offered $450 to buy the rights, but she turned it down. And in 2018, she decided to sue as many past games featured the said tattoos. 2K thought it was fair use, but not the jury, they believe she was entitled to damages. Sadly those damages weren't much, as she only received $3,750 in damages. They found that since no one was buying the games for her art, she wasn't entitled to anything else. Even so, this case could set a precedent for artists and their use of tattoos in games. Imagine the many games that feature real tattoos. It could in turn require developers/publishers to licence the tattoos, which I don't think would happen. If anything they would have to get creative and make up their own tattoos going forward. As I doubt studios will want to pay to license real tattoo art. Or they could pay a simple fee to use the tattoos, I'm sure she would gladly allow them to use the art if paid well. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/tattoo-artist-successfully-sues-2k-for-replicating-their-designs-on-a-wwe-2k-wrestler/

Pretty cool news for those who are a fan of the Creepshow show, as they are going to be making a video game based off of it. You may know the dev team from DreadXP who worked on The Mortuary Assistant. So they are familiar with horror. Anyway, is anyone here interested in a Creepshow video game? I think it'd be cool if you could play small episodes. That would tie it into the series, as each episode to my knowledge, is a different story.
