Are you sure? It seems to still be going on. I don't think Sony will lose, but it'll probably run its course before they settle out of court or the other side decides to concede or something.

Oh wow, I grew up in the wrong generation I guess. Schools teaching kids to game, damn. I was this close, like 10-20 years off from making it into something like this lol. But yeah, this is our future. More people will be making games and software, so I can see more schools around the country/world trying to implement their own schooling for video games.

I don't know if Marvel's Avengers deserves to be on this list. I mean, yeah it's not a good game, but from what I heard, it's a pretty competent game, just pulled down because of microtransactions and having to do the same stuff over and over. I think if it had more time in development, and they actually supported the game proper, I think it would have been much better. But I don't think it's nearly as bad as Superman 64, Aquaman, and Shaq Fu. Mainly because those games were broken messes that controlled like hot garbage. Idk, I shouldn't judge, because it is a bad game, just saying there's a lot more worse out there.

I haven't played a supercross game in years, or last one was probably from the early Xbox one era to late 360 era. I forget though, as I feel this series has been around forever now. Is this one any good? I haven't kept up with the games in quite a long time.

For exclusives like Call of Duty and maybe Elder Scrolls/Fallout, but I don't see every IP going that route. Xbox will make a lot of their new acquisitions into exclusives, at least the ones they probably don't see making them a ton of cash. So instead those games would be fine as exclusives. But a game like COD, to be on just one console, would be dumb. Microsoft will make a ton of money keeping those franchises open to other platforms. But, there's always that chance that Microsoft and company could change their mind and keep all of these franchises on the green brand.

I think it was more than the poor reviews. It was probably due to them not making a ton of money off if it. I don't know the sales totals, but I can't imagine it sold like God of War or Uncharted levels. But it still sold fairly good from what I remember, just not enough to warrant a sequel I guess. Maybe they realized a sequel wouldn't live up to the first one.

I've only played the first one and maybe the second or third, the rest I haven't had any time with, though I expect they're fairly decent 3d platformers. I know Spyro was around in the PS2 and I think PS3 era as well, but I haven't really touched any of the newer games. Are they even worth checking out? Or should I stick to the original games?

I signed up just the other day, figured I'd give it a go and see if I'm accepted in. Hated having to go in and sign in with an EA account and do all that. But once done it was pretty easy to sign up. Now I just need to play the waiting game and hope they select me. That's fair. The thing with live service though, is that if done right , you don't have to worry about buying stuff to be able to play. I hope that's the case with Skate, because I'd hate for it to be fueled by microtransactions. I hope with it being a live service game, that they also add free locations and modes/missions, etc.

From what I have played and heard, the single player mode just feels lifeless and boring. Also it's slow, and when you see this type of game, you want it to be a lot more fast paced, like Smash Bros is. That's why having 2 or more players involved, makes it a lot more fast paced and entertaining. And each match goes a little bit faster because of it. But 1v1 is a bore and honestly I can see people skipping that side of it completely.

The thing is, I think Amazon is going to end up doing more in gaming soon anyway. They already have Luna, and their own game studio, so there's a big chance we'll start to see Amazon getting more into the gaming scene. And I think they could make a service for streaming/playing games, kinda like what Netflix does, but this with actual games and not mobile ones. I could see Amazon achieving this success way before Netflix does.

I would like to switch this a bit. Instead of a game with a bad story but good climax, I'm going to list a couple games that had decent to great stories, but had a bad ending. One that comes to mind is GTA IV. I love GTA IV, but that ending was such a letdown. I always expected the story to end when you took out the dude you were after. I honestly don't remember much about the ending. Also, Assassin's Creed 3 had a great story, but the lamest of endings. You literally chase down the enemy at the end and it ends in a cutscene. I wanted to fight that dude at the end, not chase him down a boat that's on fire. So dumb. But yeah, these games had lame climaxes imo.

Well for some it is. For me it's a fairly decent game, but the bugs and problems it has, does hurt it some. I'd say more of a disappointment if anything, especially how it released broken and not up to what fans were expecting. Fans were hoping for a lot more than what they got. I'll admit, I didn't have as many problems as others did, but I got bored with the game fairly quick as well.

It would be awesome if I could get one console/device and be able to play every single game made. It sucks not being able to play games on other platforms, because that means I then have to either pay a ton for a new console just to experience it, or watch a lets player complete it. I would prefer to play most of those games myself, but sadly that will never happen. I just wish we had one device where you can play everything on. Whether it be through emulation, or whatever, I would love for that to happen. But, the downside to one singular device is that we may end up losing games in the process, or it could result in your favorite consoles dying out. But, I doubt this would ever happen.

Forgot to mention I'm pretty hyped for A Plague Tale: Requiem, really enjoyed the first game and I have a feeling I will enjoy the sequel as well. It's only a couple months away. Not sure if I'll be getting it day one, but it'll be on my radar for when it goes down in price.

I'm thinking that maybe it's still being worked on and that's why the animations are a bit off. With the art style, I prefer the cell-shading style too, I think the character model looks plain and boring though. I wonder what the artists character models looked like, because I'm assuming they were much different. Maybe they tried to replicate the character models from the original games. Because they would work a lot better in cell-shaed graphics. The character model they have now, kinda looks like your run of the mill 3D model that doesn't really fit the cell shaded graphics like a more cartoon/anime style look. That's what I imagine the original character models looked like. More in line with the original games characters. I imagine they were going to look more like this:

Yeah a lot of what you'll find will probably be on Steam, Epic Games, and I think Amazon's launcher as well. I think they have a game launcher. But you can also get some free stuff in certain games, that may work on console games as well. Just keep an eye out for what they offer. At the very least, you can build a small collection of PC games through Prime, so there's that. 🙂

I don't know about the last part, but I wish the US stopped loot boxes. It heavily promotes gambling and I wish they would follow some of the other countries that try to ban them from games. I don't mind microtransactions, because you at least know what you're getting, but with loot boxes, you don't get that and in turn could be wasting money.

To be fair, I think most people who are born in those times here are less likely to be interested in the metaverse as well. My dad was born in 1952, and he has no idea about this stuff and probably wouldn't care. I can see a lot of people just not being interested in VR to begin with. And for older people, the metaverse probably sounds like a foreign language to them.

I believe it's part of cut content for the New Austin area, which I believe is inaccessible in the game. I believe it was originally planned, but they had to cut content and that's where they went.

It's also being streamed a ton on twitch and YouTube. It's huge right now, reminds me of how phasmophobia blew up with people streaming it non stop for a while. Glad to see a game like this get some recognition. Though I doubt I'd play it myself.

Yeah, now that I know what it's useful for, I could use it to find out what games are dead. I checked Gotham City Impostors on the steam db, and it came back with 5 people in game:

The PS1 and the PS2 for me. I never owned the PSone or the PS2 slim, but I have always wanted to add them to my collection. One day I'd like to get a ps3 and a PS4. And of course a PS5.

There's a lot they can work on. I hope they do that and do a lot of the other ips that have long stayed dormant for years now. And of course I'm always ready for more tomb raider and hitman games.

What kind of phone do you have? Is it possible your phone can't play the game or it's not supported on your phone. I know my phone won't play most games probably. Some won't work great on different os types as well.

I've still been playing red dead redemption 2 still. Mostly going slow trying to do all my hunting so I can complete my camp and get all the crafting upgrades. It's a slow process for me, but it's fun. I was going to grow my beard out and then cut it when it got back from the grauma mission (I probably spelled that wrong), but I'm liking the look of the beard and may keep it. But if I cut it, will let it grow back full again before the end of the game.
