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.

I've heard some people claiming that the PS5 is technically a failure, and that is why the price hike is happening. I don't know if that's true considering they have sold a ton still, but I don't get why they are doing a price hike in the first place. I also heard in the same claim, that it's due to these areas not purchasing the PS5 as much, so instead they increase the price. idk. A lot of what's posted online may be false, so I can't verify if any of what I said is true. But I could see it in some ways.

Fair, so maybe not Skyrim. I believe so. You should only see villagers in peaceful mode. I don't remember if enemies appear. They may appear but won't attack. But may attack when hit. Especially under creative mode. I don't even think enemies appear in creative. But villagers do I believe.

When it comes to something like gamepass for example. It's cheap and gets you a ton of games at a single price. Not only that it gets you Xbox live as well, at least with ultimate it does. I don't buy games that often these days. That's one other reason I like gamepass, because it allows me to play all of these games I never would have otherwise. And with me, I tend to play a game once. And then never go back to it. That's another reason I like gamepass, because I can pull from a bunch of games, play them, finish them, and then grab the next one. I don't think I would purchase most of the games on game pass either. It saves me a lot in the long run.

True. Disney has made movies/shows based off of many franchises. A lot of the stuff they do is part of the public domain. Like picking from greek mythology when they made Hercules for example.

I get that, EA hasn't done much good, but as of late, it seems they are starting to let their studios work on the games they want to make. They aren't always awful. But the good they do doesn't change the bad they've done either. I'm just saying that EA doesn't always do wrong. It also depends on the developers too, because sometimes they make the bad decisions as well. But in this case, I'll reserve my judgement for when the game is officially out. If it turns out to be a grind and is no fun, then I will probably change my mind. Yes EA is most of the time awful, but they did once make 3 Skate games that didn't have any horrible gimmicks. So there is hope for them to do good there, it just needs to happen.

Idk, I feel like they had a great deal of promotion. The first week it was out I felt like it was the talk of the town pretty much, so it had enough marketing. I just think Sony didn't think it had enough staying power compared to other games. That's what I think it is.

Yeah, they may technically qualify, but I don't think they come close to the likes of what true survival horror games do. Because I believe in most of these games, it's kinda easy to survive, it's just the choices you make can alter things. I don't think it has enough "Survival", but it does have enough "horror" though.

Which out of these two, do you think is the better of the two? As in the better in terms of what they offer and what they're capable of. I personally can't judge because I haven't had enough time with a Switch and I have yet to use a steam deck. I would assume the Steam Deck is a better device based on hardware and the library of games. But the Switch probably has a more accessible audience. Or is more accessible to the audience. If I had to vote, I would probably go for the Steam Deck, but I haven't used it. I did use a switch a few times and from what I played I liked. But I can't judge which is better until I get my hands on a steam deck. But, what are your opinions on this? I know it's hard to compare these two, there's different in many ways.

Source - https://wccftech.com/state-of-decay-3-is-being-made-with-unreal-engine-5-and-help-from-gears-of-war-devs/ It looks like State of Decay 3 is in the process of being made, and they are going with Unreal Engine 5, so I'm psyched to see what they come up with. I honestly didn't like State of Decay 2, bugs kinda broke it for me, so I stopped bothering with that game and haven't played it since. I hope State of Decay 3 turns out to be much more improved and more fun. Are you going to be buying this game?

That's a given. I'm sure Spider-man and God of War have some creepy mods out there. I'm more interested in seeing what crazy stuff people can mod in. Obviously character models, but they could probably add weapons and other fun things.

Well I stand corrected. I'm seeing some going for pretty cheap, around $70-$100 or so. So yeah not too bad I suppose. I was thinking they were a lot more. Maybe I'm confusing it with what the PS Vita prices are these days, but I checked that too and those prices aren't too unreasonable. Like $150-$200 or so, not bad at all really.

Yeah exactly. The scene where the water was draining and you had to go down the steps to get away from him. But you had to wait for the water to clear enough, otherwise you'd be trapped in that spot. I also remember a scene where he's in a hallway and you can stare at him behind bars. And of course the cutscene you see him killing the mannequins. I can't push myself to play this game. I heard the Alien AI is really OP and can be a pain the in the ass to get through. Also the many jump scares.

I think most games have friendly NPCs until you agro them by attacking or shooting them. I'd even say GTA has NPCs who are friendly until you bother them. But if you want something that's more friendly, maybe most kids games, Skyrim is pretty good with the NPCs, and maybe the Sims as well.

I've been playing Madden NFL 21 again. Haven't played it in months, but since football is starting up again, I started to get back into it. Though I've also been considering getting back into ESPN NFL 2K5 instead. Other than that, mostly still playing RDR2 at the moment.

I also heard that the Embracer group is trying to buy into FromSoftware as well. So it could be a competing thing between Sony and Embracer on who gets most ownership. I could see those two trying to buy it outright at some point. I wonder how something like this would work if they both bought 50% each, or close to that.

Ah nice! Do you think that will bring a price increase? Or do you think they will try to price these new ones at the same prices the current ones sit at? Or will they be even pricier? I hope they're affordable, because the current deck is pretty affordable imo.

Imagine the PC version with mods, people are going to get crazy with their games. You thought seeing Homer and Bart in God of War was one thing, wait until you see what people cook up for the last of us part 1. 😄

I really think the problem is that they tried to make the environments look more realistic, more rundown. And same with the inside of buildings. I noticed in one of the comparison videos, that the color seems to be gone from many areas, and now it all just looks like the same dark and drab hallways. The character models look impressive, same with the animations, I'll give them that, but the rest just makes it look more dingy and dirty with less color. Even the realistic lighting looks kind off to me. But, that's the beauty in having the PS4 remaster, you can skip this one if you want. Hell, I still believe the original PS3 version looks good.

There's so many good cross-gen games out there though. Also, I forgot to mention this, but I think these days it kinda feels like a requirement to have crossplay for most, if not, all online games to come out in the future. I think they would be dumb not to do this, because I would like to game with my PlayStation friend in some more games.

For me it is more about what's available to me on said console. But, it also resorts back to what my friends own and play on. Sadly I don't really play with most of my close friends anymore. I mostly play on PC and with people I have worked with. Most of my friends are on Xbox, so I often go the Xbox route. But now that crossplay is happening more and more, I can now play with my friends more often, but I sadly don't. I usually go for PC these days because most of what I play is on PC and Xbox Game pass is more than enough otherwise.
