Still mostly playing RDR2 as of late, haven't had the urge to play anything else honestly. I'm done with power wash sim and I don't have gamepass at the moment, so I can't play it anyway lol. But I haven't been in the mood to play most other games as of late.

I'm considering sharing my steam library with my nephew, since he now has a gaming PC he plays on often. I think he would get a kick out of me sharing all of my games, since I know he wants to play a lot of the games I own. I'm not sure if it's true, but I believe only one person can play the game at a time. So if you share a certain game with someone for example, if they're playing it, you're not going to be able to. But I could be wrong. It could be the other way where you can't use steam, but I think that would be dumb. I think it's just the game itself that can't be played by more than one person.

The joy of modding games like this. I really need to get back to GTA V and mod it some. There seems to be endless amounts of hacks/mods you can do on GTA V, in single player. People have gotten really creative with the mods they make.

I only get annoyed with people in online games for the most part. I have gotten annoyed with people playing games couch co-op style, but for the most part I enjoy couch co-op more, as i can play with family and friends right there. No need to worry about getting online to play. One thing I hate is when people take too long when they play. Like in Madden, I hate when people take too long to pick a play. Then again I'm no pro, so I realize some people probably want to pick the best play and that sometimes takes a while. Other than that, I don't like to play games with people who don't know how to game, because it becomes thing thing of having to teach them, and that can be a burden.

Considering the PS1 classic started at $100 if I remember correctly, I doubt they'd charge less than $100 for a PS2 classic console. I could see it going to a bit more than $100, because it seems a lot of the newer classic consoles are reaching $100+. I'd love for it to cost $75 or so, but I doubt it, especially with how it's going to be tougher to port these games, and the licensing as well.

I never played any of the games where you used toys and such. I'll admit though, the figures they released were pretty cool. I got a Mario Amiibo and that's about it. I never saw a point to buy them for gaming, instead I just bought to collect. I hear they were so mass produced though, that they are still quite cheap these days, so there's that.

The trailer you shared is not of Layers of Fear 2, in fact it's an unreal engine remake of the first two games in a bundle. I thought for a second it was a brand new game called Layers of Fears, which I think sounds dumb for a sequel, but it's a bundle so it makes more sense. I really dug the atmosphere the first game had, but in all honesty I ended up hating the first game. I've said it before here, but it was due to early access problems corrupting my save file twice. So having to play a third time was a chore at times for me. Plus you couldn't die and that kinda bugged me too. Made it feel less scary due to it.

I'd love for that to happen, means I won't have to spend full price on a game and I could just spend $15 to get gamepass ultimate. Works perfectly for me. August 23rd can't come sooner can it? 😄 I'm more psyched for this than I have for most games as of late. It actually looks like a lot of fun.

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.
