I remember having a GBA for a while. I borrowed a friends copy of a DBZ game. I believe it was based on Goku, but I am having a hard time remembering the title. I think it was like Goku's Story or something. I know Goku was in the title, because it was heavily about him. It was in the style of Legend of Zelda and you could talk to people, fight people and so on. I never got too far in it though. Oh, it just came to me, the game was called The Legacy of Goku. Surprised this game doesn't get talked about more often, it was pretty fun from what I remember. I remember fond memories of playing that on a trip down to see my Grandma years ago. So it's got some nostalgia for me there. I played a bit of the first Spyro, but never the second one. I actually remember playing the first game with my first nephew back when we were kids. I never owned Spyro games growing up, so playing it then was a fun time. Sadly we didn't get to play it too long before they wanted to play something else, but I remember it fondly. 🙂

I think with video games in general, they are a lot easier to handle than real life. Real life can be a huge burden at times, from having to have a job, be healthy, workout, eat food, and so on. In video games I can relax a bit more and not worry so much about the problems in my real life. Real life is a chore to deal with at times, while video games allow me the escape I long for in some regards. With RDR2, I bring that up, because I find living in that world a lot easier than living in the real world. It's easier for me to get into a game, than it is to do my taxes, workout, and do stuff in general. But yeah, I do sometimes feel responsible in video games too, but it's to a lesser extent than real life. I just don't take games as seriously as I do life.

True, but it doesn't necessarily need to follow the show. It could be its own story with different characters. Or it could be a completely new take not having anything to do with the show. As well, if Vince Gilligan is interested in doing a game, maybe he can work on a whole new game with a different name and plot. It doesn't have to be Breaking Bad in name either. But I could see it selling more if it was titled in such a way. Idk, GTA these days is a lot more serious than past iterations. Especially with GTA V. It has it has its humor, but is very serious for the most part. And I think any future GTA would be even more serious. GTA Online though can be as crazy as it wants to be though. But single player it will probably focus on a more serious storyline, much like GTA IV and GTA V did.

Why boycott it? The game is being made from the ground up, it's not a typical remaster in the sense that they just re-release it with fancy upgrades. This is being rebuilt into a completely new game. I think when it comes to that, the price point (either $70 or $60) is more fair. Considering it's not just a quick remaster. If it was a remaster for $70, then I would join you in not getting it, because I don't think a remaster of a game deserves to be priced at full price like that.

Hmm, favorite gaming memories. Honestly for me, it was playing video games on the NES with my mom and sister when I was a kid. I still think of it from time to time. None of them game anymore. I'm the only one who does, but now I think I took that role up for my nephew, who is now into video games. I like to think I was the one who got him into video games, especially the ones he enjoys, like Half Life and Portal. He never shuts up about those games haha. No worries, sounds good. 🙂

Ah okidoki. I played the first via a demo, and never played the full game. I think I also attempted to play Tomb Raider Legends, but this was after I played the newer series. I couldn't get into it though. Felt really aged compared to the new experiences. Anyway, when you do those playthroughs, please do let us know, we'd love to check them out. 🙂

For most of them yeah. I prefer my Steam and maybe GOG because they are DRM free with their games. The rest like Epic and Uplay are annoying. What I hate the most is having to have a launcher for every marketplace out there. Even GOG uses their own launcher, Rockstar too. I get that in some regards, but I still feel like including the game itself is ideal. Otherwise it's just a waste of plastic and paper. Unless they include extras inside the box to make up for it, like a poster, stickers, etc. At least give people to purchase it a reason to get the physical version instead.

This is an interesting list of games banned in certain parts of the world. Some example from the article below are; Fallout 3 is banned in India because of there being two headed mutant cows, and I guess in India, cows are very sacred animals. Another example is Pokemon Go, which was banned in Malaysia because of, and I quote: "The game promoted the search for power". What that means I have no clue, and neither does the article writer lol. Even Animal Crossing: New Horizons was banned in China because people were able to make clothing items that were against China and people can go to other islands wearing it, and so they decided to just outright ban the game. There are others on this list, but you can read the rest here - https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/banned-video-games Any of these odd to you?

Source of story here - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/breaking-bad-creator-says-he-tried-to-make-a-video-game-adaptation/1100-6506313/ In all honesty, I would have bought a Breaking Bad game day one if it was ever a reality. And according to Vince Gilligan himself, he had contemplated making a video game based off his hit show. He also thought of the idea because of how popular GTA is, and he figured Breaking Bad as a video game would work in that way. He even asked his team about getting a hold of the creators (Rockstar) into making a Breaking Bad game. How cool would that have been? I doubt it would have happened, but I could see someone making a Breaking Bad game. I just don't know how it would work in the BB story. Maybe it can be about a side character working for Gustavo Fring. There's a lot that could probably be done. And who's to say it has to be a BB game, it could be a spin-off in that world, kind of like what Better Call Saul is. But they can tie the game into that story in some way. What do you think?

This is just crazy, the PS5 has now outsold the Nintendo Gamecube in sales. That's based off the Gamecube's lifetime sales. The PS5 has sold 21.83 million units worldwide as of this moment, and the Gamecube's sales reached 21.74 overall. I never would have expected the PS5 to sell this fast. Soon enough it will catch up with the PS2 sales and then eventually the PS4 and maybe even the switch. I think the switch is higher up there right now, but I could be wrong. Anyway, you can read about this news here - https://www.vgchartz.com/article/454508/ps5-outsells-nintendo-gamecube/

Has anyone played RDR2 online since the funeral thing? I don't want to boot up the online mode on my PC, because I don't want to end up messing up my character on the Xbox. My brother sometimes plays that and I don't want to risk possibly deleting his character by signing into the online on PC. (my xbox and Pc use the same Rockstar account). No worries. 🙂

Ah okay, that makes more sense. Yeah a lot of games do this. One that comes to mind right away is the Fable series. They did that fairly well, in that if you're good you can tax the people less, but if you're evil you can tax them a ton. I always thought that was a cool feature. I think it was in Fable 2 or 3, I don't remember. My brother mostly played the series while I watched. But I remember one of the games you'd become the king, and you can then make decisions about the community. I know collecting taxes was one of them, but you may have had other responsibilities like making life or death decisions and so on. I know many other games feature some politics, but I don't know of any that are like Fable. I know the civ games probably count too, as you use a lot of politics to fight and or smooth things over.

I just checked walmart myself and there is no 3D TVs around. I think we're officially done with the 3D TV craze until it returns in another 5-10 years lol. It's always as if 3D TVs and 3D media always come back. I know with 3D movies showing up in theaters, it seemed to be making a comeback then, but I swear 3D TV and tech has been coming and going for years now. I bet that 3D TVs will make a comeback in that 5-10 years. I think the only way otherwise to get a 3D TV now is ebay and other stores that sell used stuff. You might be able to find them on Amazon too, but I didn't check there.

Oh for sure. I have nothing against anyone who thinks it's for kids or doesn't like it. In reality it's for everyone. I found it refreshing. Plus, there is a bit of a story there, and it kinda made me sad, because the story is essentially you, growing up, moving to a new house, into a new room, going to college, buying your first house, etc. And if I remember correctly, it ends when you're an adult and married with a kid and so on. It essentially runs through life, and it is kinda depressing, but also heartwarming because it shows a little life here and there. If you like something simple, and doesn't force you to do anything a certain way (well kinda as you have to find the correct locations for everything), then you'll like this game.

I think most content like this is age gated, but I could be wrong. I've seen some YouTubers who post some offensive content, open for viewing even as a kid. I think YouTube in general is a mess, so I could see some YouTubers getting away with not age-gating their channel. I know some YouTubers hate age-gating, as it causes issues with their ads, as some advertisers don't like to be paired up with content that's age-gated. Or age restricted. Which is why many YouTubers have started bleeping themselves so they can show it to all ages. I think Game Grumps does this, but I'm not sure. I feel like they let their swears go.

It would make sense, considering they haven't done much good with the property since Generations. And even that, fans may be mixed on that. What I think they should do, is focus more on the movies for now, and then maybe after the 3rd movie drops, release that new game. Or idk, just give it more time to gestate before releasing it. They could easily take their time and not rush a release. I think if they actually did, their last couple games would have been much better. I'm interested in seeing how the new Sonic game does, but I'm not holding out any hope for it.

I wouldn't say that. I think it's more of someone trying to trick people to buy crap because of popular character. I was able to find another video showing it off, you can view it below: There are other games like this on other marketplaces as well. Sadly it happens to a lot of popular games. I imagine Steam and other platforms have similar games that are just tossed up after they develop something for a few minutes lol. Good thing that most people know better than to buy crap like this. But I imagine some people were tricked. But, I can see others buying it just to make content on it. Much like this guy did.

Of course, they did a wonderful job at hiring great voice actors to realize their vision. I rarely want to skip when a character talks and actually looks realistic. Then again the Witcher 3 is a gorgeous game, so it makes sense. Anyway, I wanted to add to this topic. In regards to minor characters. Are there any minor characters that you like as much as the main character? I think in GTA games, they really do great with the smaller characters, in that they're actually fun and I would like to see them more. I think GTA IV and V did it good, with some of the minor characters showing up and stealing the show. I think Packy was one from GTA IV, where you help with a heist. He was a fun character and I wanted to see him come back in some way. I don't remember if he appeared in GTA V, but I remember that buff bald dude made an appearance and he was always fun. So yeah, in a sense I do kinda keep track of the smaller/minor characters in bigger games.

When did you go to school? I was last in school in 2008, unless you count college, in which I was last there in 2013 I believe. Wow it's been so long lol. Anyway, my time in school, we didn't have anything cool like an esports team. It's just starting to become popular in my area, as my high school now has a club or esports team, and I think even the college I attended is now jumping into the fray. Honestly, if I had the option I would have. Considering you could potentially make good money in esports, I'd say it'd be worth a try at least. I doubt I'd get far, but who knows. Maybe with a team working together, I could make it happen. But, I have no interest in joining a team myself, I'd rather start one with some friends. 🙂

I tried it last night with a friend, and I wasn't feeling it. Of course we did 1v1 for a bit, and it was fun for a minute, but then I just got bored with it. Like the videogamedunkey vid said, it's probably better with 2v2 instead, as it's a lot more action going on. With the 1v1, it just felt lifeless and boring, nothing happening and was slow. But, the 2V2 was fun for a bit. I'd like to see a 3V3 mode added maybe. But I don't know if that would work. Also, they need to add more levels. I'm sure they will though.

Yeah I couldn't do it all day. Maybe a few hours. Most jobs tend to be the usual 9-5, so around 8 hours or so. Which I can see some people surviving in VR, but I can't see everyone doing 8 hours or more in one sitting. Of course you could probably take a break every couple hours, as I'm sure most jobs would give that to you anyway. I think it could be something we see more in the future. Especially with more and more people working from home. But like I said, a webcam and mic would probably work just as good for an office environment.

VR does make for a good learning tool. For example, if you're trying to teach a bunch of people something and you have limited space, VR in turn could be used to help teach certain things while not having to teach in a more crowded room. Say you're building something, or learning to fix computers for example. I doubt a room full of towers and people would be easy. It could be done, and has been sure, but I think in VR, it would be a lot easier as it wouldn't impede on the space the room already has. What I'm saying, is that it will make it easier for people to teach on certain aspects, like computer repair and so on.

The thing with VR, is that you need a lot of space to move around and interact in the virtual world. Some people just sit down to play, but some like to be more immersed and like to move as well. Well, this has caused a lot of people to hit stuff in their homes, because the space they have isn't enough. For me, I don't even know if I can take advantage of VR, because my house is a bit too small. I could maybe make it work in my living room, but that's where my 4K TV is and I don't want to end up running into that. Which is why, it's probably recommended to play with others when you're playing VR in this way. Because they can at least guide you away from the expensive stuff lol.

Oh yeah, I use various sources and listen to many people when it comes to the games/movies/tv/music they rate. I take a lot of reviews into consideration before picking up a game, especially if it's a game I know nearly nothing about. I can make my own judgements on games I'm very aware of, but games I don't know, I like to check out a few reviews. Metacritic, as bad as it is, does tell me a lot about games. It's not like you have to get all the packs. I think they release so many to give users the options to pick what they like and the rest can just peace out. I have not purchased any of the expansion packs, because I never got through the Sims myself. I think I had The Sims 3 on 360, but I may have to get The Sims 4 one of these days to finally get into it. But yeah, won't be buying any packs unless I know for sure I'm invested into the game. And even then I will probably only get 1 or 2 of them.

Another thing, if a person is really into violence and murder, I think they would be very interested in games with violence in it. Now before anyone says "games don't cause violence" i'm not saying that. I'm saying that I think violent video games, may be of interest for violent people. But you could probably say that about any form of media, as I imagine someone who is very violent or into violence, would also be into movies, tv shows and other forms of media about it too. But yeah, I think there are people out there who love violence in the games, because they have that personality. I don't want to make this about violent video games though, as I don't think a video game can make one violent. But I can see people who are like that, being into that type of media even more. Does that make sense?
