Depends on the game. Sometimes I have quit a game midway, and haven't come back to them. Some games I do go back, like in the case of Shadow of the Colossus, where originally I quit playing about a quarter of the way through and then came back, only to beat a few more levels and then quit again. I still have the save on my PS2 memory card somewhere, so if I ever want to, I can go back and continue it. But there are games that I do quit, and then finish later on. But majority of the time if I quit a game mid-way I often never come back to it. In regards to short breaks though, I do that a lot, but I always come back. I will take a break from playing RDR2 from time to time, but I always come back to it later or even minutes later.

yeah, in the end it's all subjective. One person could love the game, and claim it's the greatest of all time, while another could come in and say they absolutely hated it and never want to play it again. We as people, are different from one another. I'm sure there are many things you love that I wouldn't be into. And the same from my end. I'm sure there are a lot of things I enjoy, that others would say is garbage. My taste in movies will sometimes be gawked at, and that's fine, we all have differing opinions about things.

Honestly, the stuff I saw on that game so far, it doesn't look so good to me. The Gollum game I mean. I just remember seeing the character model and thinking it looked like it will be a rough game. But maybe that was early into development. How has the development gone on this game so far? Yes Saints Row, I completely forgot that was coming out soon. That's for sure on my radar, as it looks like it's going back to the feel of Saints Row. I just hope it lives up to the hype and is as good as the first few. We shall see I guess. 🙂

There is still support, but it's very minimal to the point that it doesn't even matter. Rockstar recently released some small stuff in RDRO, but it was nothing worth anyone's time. Some gold bars I think and some tasks with an NPC. Nothing big essentially. Oh for sure. I still don't know if this is still happening, but if it is, I hope Rockstar sorts it soon, at least for those who are still playing online. I have no intentions of spending anytime online again, as the ecosystem is just awful. But, maybe one day some modder will come in and set up a new server for people who still play the online mode. Would be cool to see mods and other goodies added too. Eh I wouldn't say good, but okay lol. Sucks to see something potentially good squandered, but maybe things will change soon.

At this point it's all just for money. They can create new fancy character models and do some work on gameplay, but it didn't need to happen. It's the same thing that happened with the Spider-man remaster. Why did they have to change the character model? To me, that just screams cash grab, because I don't think people care too much for another HD upscale of a game that already looked damn good even on the PS3. Yeah it's nice to get an HD upscale/remake of a popular game, but I feel like it's way too soon for a lot of games. It's just recapturing the glory of the game as much as possible. Once a PS6 comes out, who's to say they won't make yet another remaster of the first game? They could also be using this time to develop a new game in the series, or a new franchise even. I know that a lot of these remasters are tossed to smaller studios, but still, I feel like those smaller studios could be tasked with making something they really want to make. That's another thing, developers tasked with making remasters and remakes, must hate it, because it takes them away from developing brand new ideas.

I loved it. It was so simple, yet so relaxing. And I hate that I kinda got shit for being into it, because some others said it was too much of a kid game. Yeah fair, but it's still a relaxing experience that I think was worth the time I played it. I've yet to play Stardew Valley, but a friend of mine has suggested it to me a few times. I heard the guy who made the game, is developing a new game that's similar in style and somewhat in gameplay. And it will be multiplayer as well. 🙂

Yes I agree with you 100%. I hate when games just up the health of an enemy, but don't change anything else about them. Like Shagger said, in Horizon Zero Dawn, they make the AI smarter as you choose a higher difficulty. I think in Hitman it's similar, in that they add more enemies in the map, and also make it tougher to get away because their vision cones are a lot bigger. On top of that, if you're shot, or you use clothes from a person who was shot, the enemies will take notice of that and will get suspicious. I like when games higheten the AI to being a bit smarter about the situation. But, I also found that in Hitman, you can pop off a few shots and run in front of the enemies if you want haha. I guess this is a method to speed running. Anyway, I think games like Dark Souls do AI the best. If they can replicate something like that with other games, I could see it being much better.

True, the fan base will often be more interested in a remaster. But, some will be unhappy because of the price tag. I don't think most would care, but I feel like some fans have made a fuss already about the price being the same or more than the original game. Just feels like they're asking for too much.

Anyone into playing that VR Chat game? I want to get a VR headset and give that a try. I saw some videos of people mucking around on it and I think it'd make for a fun experience. And content as well. Sucks though, because I doubt most of my friends have a VR headset. Maybe one day though.

Yeah from what I saw of it, it just looked like someone using assets from an asset store and the engine they used. They clearly didn't do any work. I wish you could see the video because it was laughably bad. Like no work was put into this game. I think they got everything from one place and then put it together in a game. But yeah, there was a lot of bad games on here, because anyone can make a game and add it. So there's no quality control.

I think if the new game that's coming soon fails, then I think it will be time for Sega to take a break in Sonic. I think if that's the case, a break will help the series a lot. But maybe they also need a new team to develop a sonic game. Because whatever they're doing now, isn't working that well. But I'll see what the new game is like. Maybe I'm going to be wrong.

I imagine they are age gated, as in whoever watches their show, are required to sign into a valid YouTube. If you're underage you won't be able to watch it. Their content has been more adult oriented since they started. They kinda tamed it down a bit in recent years, but they still sometimes swear and say dumb stuff lol.

Weird, I couldn't edit your emoji out on mobile. Anyway I agree 100%. I know I could do better at these Souls games, but I just don't have the patience. Anyone can do good at these games if they paid attention and took things slow. Watched attack patterns and so on.

Yeah, there is a lot they could do with a sequel. I think with stray in terms of it's gameplay, is made that way to make the game more accessible to more gamers. I think a sequel could add a lot more, but I hope they don't change too much about the controls, as that's where the accessibility comes from.

For sure. I use gaming a lot to help me, by it I also enjoy other forms of media to help with my stress and depression. I loved unpacking. It's one of those games that was really relaxing to me.

Oh God, the RC Plane missions in Vice City sucked. Same with the annoying level in San Andreas where you have to plant bombs with the RC Plane. I think they fixed these missions in the remastered versions though. Still, they are a pain to do whenever these missions pop up.

Yup I remember that. I hated that you didn't play as snake all the way through. Was never a fan of Raiden. He just seemed cringe to me. Yeah not a bad trailer. But it seems to be an okay game too.

Yeah, you need to really take more than one person's opinion to heart. Because one opinion doesn't sell something. The Sims 4 has so many expansion packs. Sucks that all of them are so pricey though.

The thing with digital as well, is that you don't necessarily own that game. Same with any form of digital media. You don't own it, you just get a license to own it. As well, with digital, how long will we have access to that game? Once a device loses support, what happens to the games on said device? Can we download them later? Can we ever recover them? Digital may make things a lot easier, but there is a lot of cons to it. I think digital can save games though, in the sense that one day all of our physical media will die out. Disc based games eventually degrade and will become unplayable. There's no stopping that and it's already happened to some disc based games. It's called disc rot.

Yeah things are a bit rough on my end at the moment, but gaming does help. Plus during the night hours I hang in a voice chat with friends in Discord and we sometimes watch movies as well. That's been a really good stress relief for me. Just having people to talk to helps a lot too.

You probably could with the single player, but it's so linear I see not real point. If it was more open world and you had more options in the main game, then I could see it working. But the way COD is these days in the single player department, is just doesn't make sense. With the online mode, it's virtually impossible to get away with cheating/hacking. It could also ban your account and the device you're using depending on what it is.

Yeah, but I think most studios do this, take ideas that work in other games. It just seems like AC is replicating these ideas because they work. But they need to make it different enough to where it's okay. I think in this case it is within their rights, but it is lazy to copy it so close. Many games do this stuff though, take ideas and inspiration from other games. Many have taken the weapon wheel idea from GTA, because it works.

I played on easier difficulties myself. Can't be bothered to play them in the toughest difficulty. I like to experience the story as well, and on harder modes it takes me way too long and I don't have time for that.

I think forums and other communities that are made for certain games get somewhat political, but mainly for that game itself, and not in terms of the US government or anything like that. When I hear about politics in this instance, I think of squabbles between forums and communities tied to the game itself.

I couldn't get into the base game. I only played the likes of battle royale and some of the save the world stuff. Didn't advance much in save the world, but I think there are achievements in that mode and some of the others. I don't think they have achievements in the battle royale mode. Well maybe I'm wrong, because there's like stats, but I rarely bother checking it.
