There are some pro controllers for PlayStation, but I don't believe they're made by Sony themselves. I think there was rumors about the possibility of a pro controller from them, but I don't think it ever happened, at least not yet. You'd think they would have their own pro controller, but I guess not. And yeah I'd love that. I got two of those powerA pro controllers for the Xbox One. I have one of my xbox and one for PC. It allows you to connect some back bumpers, but I don't use them. They might make PS4/PS5 controllers too, but I haven't checked. They're the only controllers that have lasted so long for me. They have great build quality, but have weights in them to make them feel more premium. But I like the weight.

One other thing I realized I do kinda miss, is the lobbies with unruly people throwing around trash talk. For example, The Act Man made a new video recently about the golden age of trash talk, and honestly I kinda wish it was still like this. Yeah it resulted in offensive stuff being said, but damn I do kinda miss lobbies that were kinda chaotic like this. I of course wouldn't join in on the trashtalk, but I'd gladly listen in on it.

Oh cool, I didn't know that they also paired it with video proof. That's actually pretty cool, because it also helps with proving to those leaderboard sites out there. I know there is one for arcade games/cabinets, but I didn't know they also included modern consoles this way. I hope they do this for all consoles and games going forward, that would make things so much easier to prove your stats.

At that point you can just download it on Switch and then sign in, that's all you should have to do. That sucks, you'd think with how good the switch is, they'd make it possible to use Netflix and the other streaming platforms. I'm going to guess it's a Netflix thing and they don't want to add their app to the switch.

Favorite I'd say is probably action adventure, so games like GTA, RDR, etc. As for least favorite, I don't get into most puzzle games or racing games. Though I will play some racing games and some puzzle games, I tend to get bored with most puzzle games. Also most sports games, but there are some sports games I will play.

Welcome to the forum! To answer your question, a lot of PC games allow for mods, at least when it comes to the single player component. Online is a different story and I would advise not ever modding an online mode in most games, as you will likely get banned. But if you focus on the single player side, you should be fine. Still though, I'd read their rules and terms and conditions before setting up any mods, at least when it comes to newer games. For example, you can mod RDR2 single player, but Rockstar doesn't allow you to mod multiplayer. They also reserve the right to ban you even if you use them on single player, but you shouldn't. With that being said, I suggest RDR2 single player for modding. And like the blackangel said, Skyrim is one of the most modded games around.

Yeah I can see video games helping us develop certain skills. Hand eye coordination and dexterity is one aspect for sure. As well, I see critical thinking and decision making mentioned too, which is true. Also with online gaming, it could be a way to socialize and get over social anxiety. Which is what I kinda used it for in a way.

I remember Google Glass. I hear there are still some people and companies that use Google Glass, supposedly it's pretty popular among people still. I honestly don't see Google attempting to make another attempt at Google Glass. I could see them go down the VR path instead, but maybe I'm wrong. I would love to see them try doing it again, but my guess is that they won't. We'll see, because I'd welcome it. I just don't see Google taking the chance again.

Yeah that's a really good point. I could see many people using it to help with sensory issues, especially those with autism and other neurodivergent conditions. I could also see some people using VR to help them socialize, and deal with certain problems. As for eye strain and headaches, I feel like it'd be the opposite, in that it would eventually cause those for some people. But if it can help, that'd be awesome.

lol why is this crime channel on YouTube going on about video games anyway? I checked their channel and they seem to discuss crime and cases around them. I hate when videos like this don't link to sources for their supposed truth. The whole seizure bit, I could see most things causing it, especially if you have epilepsy. They probably found stories/articles online about a couple studies that went nowhere for all we know. I wouldn't take this video seriously.

Yeah I'm aware of the fighting game scene. I've watched some videos of people trash talking each other and throwing abuse to one another. It wouldn't be able to do it myself. I'd quit way too fast. I don't know how speedrunners would work out in esports. I don't recall people making any money for speedrunning a game, and I don't quite know how it would work out in an esports setting either.

Yeah, I was not a fan of ACIII, mainly because of how anticlimactic the ending was. It ends in a chase and then a cutscene, I thought it was so rushed and dumb. I wanted to fight at the end, not what we got. But yeah, the autoclimb was a big help, because the climbing mechanics started to become a chore in the series, so they wanted to streamline it a bit and make it easier. I imagine the new AC games do the same. Last one I played was Syndicate and it was much of the same imo. And yeah, I remember that happening a lot when I played the older AC games. Even with the auto climb, I sometimes found myself jumping backwards.

Same, I graduated in 2008, so I didn't get to experience all this esports stuff that's going on today. I mean, there was tournaments and stuff around the world, but never anything close to me. I played some of the PS2 back in the day online, sadly I got online too late, as I had the 360 for a few years. Reason I tried PS2 online was because my 360 died its 4th of 5th time, and I needed to do some gaming, so I decided to try PS2 online for the first time. Ended up playing WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 I think it was. These days consoles even have tournaments you can sometimes join. It's becoming a lot more mainstream.

Finally got an email response from the people at Virtusphere and we all were way off on the pricing. According to them, it's $35,000 for the 280lb limit version and it's $28,000 for the weight limit of 190lbs. So yeah, pretty pricey, too pricey for me, because that can literally buy you a cheap home haha. Wow that's crazy.

Technically no, but you can claim in a way it's an Action MMO. More so with GTA V, since the online mode has a lot of active users. MMOs are essentially Massive Multiplayer Online games. I'd say GTA V counts, but RDR2 not so much. But, I'm not speaking in regards to the game type, just bringing up passive mode as an option, because many games are including such an option so you don't have to deal with unruly users. I imagine most of the big MMOs have some form of passive mode, where you can not deal with users. I think Fallout 76 has a passive mode, I'm pretty sure I started on passive mode lol. 😄 To be honest, I think every online game should come with a passive mode.

Does anyone here have any spotify playlists they'd like to share? Mainly ones that feature video game music, but I'm not opposed to any type of music, as long as it's good to listen to while gaming. Maybe more instrumental music? I don't like listening to too much music that has lyrics/vocals. Instrumental of vocal free songs are more ideal for me. But I'll be fine with a few songs with vocals.

I haven't done much modding in games. In COD 4 I did jump into wall glitches, which I don't condone. I was a dumb teen back then and I stopped doing that soon after. other than that, I wouldn't even know where to begin to mod games. I plan to try it in RDR2 once I complete the story again, but I want to make sure it's allowed and isn't going to cause issues with my account. I wouldn't mind modding the likes of GTA IV, and San Andreas.

I could see Google making a VR headset. I don't think they have yet, the closest I know of is Google Glasses, which was a failure on their part. Or not a failure, but they gave up on it soon after. I know their phones work in VR, but I wouldn't count that to be honest. I think google making an actual VR headset would be cool. But knowing them, they'll find a way to cancel that too. They did have the Google Cardboard, which allowed you to use your phones as a VR headset, though limited it was still kinda cool.

Thanks for sharing! 🙂 There's a lot VR could probably do. I could see some people using it for therapy, like maybe seeing a therapist instead of having to go in person. Or it could be a way to cope with certain problems. Like my previous post, someone used it for insomnia. I could see it being used to help people through anxiety as well.

Possibly. I sent them an email, so we'll find out. I read some more on their site and I guess they even include a PC, VR headset and connections/sensors, so the price is probably well over $5000. I imagine the PC alone would net $1000+, another $500-$1000 for the VR headset and not sure about the connections. But the thing itself, is probably $2000-$3000 alone. But those are just guesses. Still though, I'd love to play in something like this.

Has anyone heard of this game? From what I see, it's a sim style game where you run a laundromat and have a secret arcade that you run in the back. You literally have to run the laundromat as well as the arcade. So it looks a lot like a sim game. Eventually you find a back room that you can use to set up an arcade. I don't know if this is something for me, but I'm willing to give it a try maybe. It's for PS4, PS5 & PC.

Was going to make a topic about this game, but figured I'd revive this one instead. Has anyone here played the new Evil Dead game? I hear it's a hit, but since its release I haven't seen much about it. It released in May and I remember seeing news about it almost daily, now it's been kinda forgotten. Or I'm just not seeing much on it as of late. Anyway, would you recommend getting it? It looks like a far better version of the Friday the 13th game.

Well they kinda have to if they plan to continue selling currency in game. I don't know what RDR2 has in terms of currency, I don't think they're called shark cards, maybe it's just currency idk. But in RDR2 you can buy gold bars I think, and those can be used to get you in game currency. So my guess is, they would have to remove that option altogether if they plan to stop supporting RDR2 online. Because I doubt they would want people to purchase a bunch of stuff in game, to only find out that the game is dead.

Yeah if Ubisoft made the ideas their own, there probably wouldn't be any issues. The thing with Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for example, is that it's fine to take ideas and make them your own. But the way they went about it, not changing enough, shows they were lazy in the process. If they simply made their own version of the systems they borrowed, they would have been fine. I remember hearing about the RE story. It makes you wonder how many other games have taken images/graphics and other things from other forms of media and people. If I remember correctly to, with the RE situation, it took them a while to notice it. So there could be other games out there that do this exact same thing and have gotten away with it. Makes ya wonder.

Yeah that's a good point. With the recent woes of a dropped user base, it would be crazy for Xbox to make it an exclusive. On top of that, I can't see a bunch of Sony fanboys buying up a series X just to play their COD games. I think if it is to be made exclusive, it will either drive sales of the series x, or it will result in fans abandoning COD altogether. It's already happening, so changing it could be worse.
