Rick and Morty is huge. They already have some mobile games, and the creator of the series has two game out already. So it's not far from reality. Some of the characters have appeared in Fortnite and other games too. I can see them having board games and other types of games out there. There are also card games for Rick and Morty that are kinda popular. Like the Total Rickall card game, where it's kinda like a deduction game, similar to Among Us where you have to find who are the parasites and who are real. I've been meaning to pick it up one of these days, but been putting it off. But yeah, there's so much they can do with the Rick and Morty series.

Yeah I have a feeling I would feel the same way if I played it long enough. I hear the AL is a little OP at times, where it can just get annoying at times. And I imagine if you're getting caught a lot, it's going to get very repetitive.

I have it set on my PC and Laptop to use the blue light filter after a certain time, usually around 6:30pm est or when the sun goes down. For Windows it's simply called "Night Light", for Linux or Ubuntu, I'm not sure. It may just be a blue light blocker. It's a really good idea to use these filters at night, because prolonged viewing of a standard PC at night, can do some damage to the eyes. Another option you could take is to buy those blue light blocking glasses. There are a ton of them on Amazon and I think some of the big name gaming glasses feature blue light blocking as well. But yeah, I really like having the option, because when I do, it tints my screen a yellow color. It takes some getting used to, but it really helps at night.

I didn't play a whole lot of Star Wars games back in the day. I played one of the Battlefront games back on the PS2/Xbox maybe. And maybe one of the Phantom Menace games on the PS1, but that's really been about it. I tried my hand at those Force Unleashed games, but couldn't get into it.

Do you guys have any issues gaming with a cheap mouse? I try not to use cheap mice, but had to purchase one recently as my current one is starting to go. I decided to get one of the Amazon Basics mice. Was a little under $10. I probably won't end up gaming much with it to be honest. Probably not really meant for gaming in the first place, but I might give it a go if needed.

Someone took the time to make a level in Halo Infinite that is heavily inspired by Mario 64's Lava Map. The map was built in the Forge mode, and looks very similar to the actual level. But I'm going to guess it's not an exact remake. It even looks to have moving platforms and stuff. I didn't know Halo offered the ability to make floating platforms with their creative options.

I'm for PC as well. Mobile phones are nice and all, and have some fun games, but I rarely bother with most mobile games these days. I don't like the control options phones have, while PC you have many more options. But yeah, PC all the way.

I'm sorry to hear that about your grandfather and friend. Video games can be a great tool to help with depression. And it can be a good way to reminisce about the past, gaming with friends, family and more. I find comfort in gaming most of the time, because it takes me away from the hurt. Video games are cool like that ya know. It's especially nice if those video games help you connect with more people as well.

For me, near the end of Season 1 of telltales Walking Dead game. When you have to make a horrible decision at the end. I won't say what if you've never played it, but it was a great story, sad ending. Also Arthur's death in RDR2. The first time I don't think I reacted much, but after I am done with this playthrough, I know I'm going to tear up. Just that ending music and all of it.

That's the beauty in it. But you also need to remember that some people don't game that much, and in turn they also are wasting some money when they don't utilize the service. That's how I see it anyway. I like gamepass and services like it, because it allows me to game on my own time and my own pace. I can download a game, play it, quit it and delete it. It allows me more freedom than it would be to buy a $60-$70 game.

Dishonored games allow you to go through both games without having to kill anyone. You can use stealth instead and alter certain things to cause havoc in the world. It's really cool. I've been meaning to go through the game again and try the pacifist route. Should be interesting.

I honestly hated State of Decay 2 because I hit a game breaking bug at one point that ended up killing some of my survivors. Ever since I gave up on the series. I'll admit though, I am interested in the next game, but I hope they fixed all the problems I had with it.

The Tokyo Game Show will be airing September 15th. This will probably be the first time I have ever caught a stream of it. Is anyone here psyched for the show? Are there any games you're hoping they reveal during the show? Any you expect to see? Maybe some gameplay? I hear 505 Games has a showcase during the show, but I'm not sure about what else is happening. But feel free to discuss and share trailers in here during the show.

I remember those days. I was glad they allowed us to use the free apps without having a subscription. Gamepass ultimate also gets you XBL, which gets you games with gold as well. But I understand wanting to get the physical version. You could also look at it as a way to test out those games you want to get physically.

I don't watch much as of late when it comes to video game analysis. Though I would like to know more channels that feature documentary style gaming videos. Kinda like the Gaming Historian. Others I like that I would recommend are (All of which I'm subscribed to): Did you Know gaming - Does a lot of documentary style content about games, some you may not even know about. Larry Bundy Jr - I think talks more about bad kickstarters, bad games, and other such things. LGR - Retro PC tech and retro gaming. Most focus is on the retro games, old PC devices/peripherals and old PC builds. Matt McMuscles - Discusses bad production of video games in his What Happun videos, where he goes in depth why a certain video game (or other media like movies, tv shows, etc) fail to live up to the hype or fail completely. Metal Jesus Rocks - Does content on retro game collecting/game collecting in general. May not be really about analysis. But I believe he worked for Sierra in the past and has discussed some gaming history on his channel. Modern Vintage Gamer - Does more content about retro hacking and retro games. My Life in Gaming - Like if PBS made their own YouTube on video game history. Rerez - Reviews of usually awful games and devices, really fun channel. Slopes Game Room - Kinda like a semi-documentary/mixed with top tens The 8-Bit Guy - Does content about retro PC tech, and has some game content here and there. The Act Man - Does mostly reviews and content on gaming topics. The Game Chasers - They have a documentary series where they go hunting for retro video games and action figures. I highly recommend checking it out. It's like American Pickers, but for video games. The Game Theorists - Discussion about gaming theories. Sorry, this kinda went down to a rabbit hole of suggesting too many, and probably some of these don't really fit the whole video game analysis. But I think most of them do, as they do kinda show game history in the process.

I don't have any issues with gunfire in games. I know photosensitive games can be hard for people to play if they are prone to seizures and other visual problems. I can do flashing lights fine, but I would like not to, because I don't think anyone likes flashing lights in most things. There are some games that do have features for visually impaired people. I think the Last of us 2 was one of the major ones to feature a slew of visual settings to make it easier for people to play. I imagine they have something for people with photosensitivity problems that cause seizures.

Honestly RDR1 and 2 for me. From the story, the characters, the gameplay, the DLC for RDR1 with the Undead Nightmare, the music and more. These games will forever be a part of my life because I have enjoyed them so much. Same with probably GTA VC and SA, maybe even GTA IV and V to some extent. Super Mario Bros 3 because it has brought family together for me. And it also reminds me of my childhood when I play it.

Anything that requires a solution to solve maybe? Can be a literal puzzle you put together, a puzzle that requires you to connect wires, etc. I think for me, it's just anything that requires any bit of thought to solve. Like if there is a needed solution to solve it, it imo is a puzzle. At least to me it is.

I'm sure I have. Like a key item in the story that was meant to be found later or during a certain moment in the game? I've found a lot of stuff in RDR2, Skyrim, and other open world games that I couldn't use right away and had to wait for a certain point. I'm not reminded of anything, but I know I have found items that I couldn't use yet or had to wait until a certain level or it was a key item for something.

That's a good question. I'm honestly not sure I can think of anything. I'm reminded of a game called Rescue: The Embassy Mission on the NES, and during some portions of the game you're tasked with hiding from search lights. I didn't know you could hide behind walls and a few of the other areas. I always died during that part because I thought you could only use the doorways. I played it when I was a kid though, so I guess that's my excuse. 😄

I don't mind IGN to some extent, but I don't really follow them for their reviews. I've heard stories about how they have plagiarized some reviews, and to be fair those were the writers and not IGN themselves. But it happens a lot more with IGN it seems, so I'm not really interested in taking their opinions at heart these days.

If you want to learn to play under survival, I would suggest going to at least peaceful mode so that you can learn recipes and all that. Because when in creative you can use any block/items/tools you want in order to build and you don't see how each item is made. In peaceful and survival, you have to mine for your supplies. Creative won't teach you the recipes to my knowledge. What I did with creative mode, was build my world up first, and once I felt like my world was up to par, I could turn on survival mode and invite my friends in as well and turn back on survival mode. But most people start in survival or an easier difficulty to get the controls down.

To be fair, they kinda pushed the franchise to its limits after a while. If anything this break was probably a good thing, since their last couple of games weren't as good. Last game they released in the series was Blacklist, which came out in 2013. So it has been quite a while. Nearly 10 years, damn. But I hope this remake turns out to be good. Here's hoping they also add a multiplayer mode.

I think it's because our brain stops focussing so much on the graphics and pays attention to the game itself and its story. I find that I will enjoy the good looking graphics of a game for a bit, and then I just get invested into that game and kinda forget the graphics and it melds together perfectly. Idk, I think we just get used to the graphics as we play. These days graphics don't impress me anymore, because I feel like I've seen good enough. I know graphics will get better, but I feel we're close to that peak already. RDR2 to me still looks stunning, but I don't focus much on the graphics as I play. Unless I'm taking a relaxing ride on my horse and take in the sights. But otherwise my focus is on hunting, collecting cigarette cards, and slowing doing the missions. I believe it's more a hybrid remake/remaster. They remastered some of the scenes in game and changed some other things around. I believe they retooled the gameplay a bit, probably to be more in line with TLOU2. The character models were made to be more realistic as well. So yeah It's more a remaster than a remake, because I don't think most of what they changed qualifies as a remake.

My guess is that it's not true. It would be odd to make a remake of Silent Hill 2 when I know there are fans of the first game out there as well. It'd be weird not to include a remake ofr SH1 first then SH2 and 3 and maybe 4 idk. I could see them doing just a trilogy remake. Because 3 ties into the first game. Also, the second game is a completely new story. These images could also be of a SH1 remake. Because in that you play as a man, so it could be the guy from the first game. I would love to see a remake for the original games, because I would like to play them with modern controls.
