Good to know. I am interested in this game too, but I am only interested in a single player compaign.

These are the most current statistics I could find.... 1. PlayStation 2 — 157 million 2. Nintendo Switch — 122.55 million 3. PlayStation 4 — 117 million 4. PlayStation — 102.49 million 5. Nintendo Wii — 101.63 million 6. PlayStation 3 — 87.4 million 7. Xbox 360 — 85 million 8. Nintendo 3DS - 75.94 million 9. Nintendo Entertainment System — 61.91 million 10. Xbox One — 57.96 million 11. Playstation 5 - 52.96 million 11. Super Nintendo Entertainment System — 49.10 million I compiled this list from this article.... https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/bestselling-consoles-of-all-time/ ... along with this post from @Kane99 ... https://www.vgr.com/forum/topic/16824-the-ps5-has-now-surpassed-the-all-time-sales-the-snes-has-gotten/

I hope not, lol. I mean, if people want to throw free crypto in my direction, by all means. But outside of that, nah. I prefer to deal with real money.

That's interesting. To date I have mocked AI as being nothing more than a glorified search engine. But I can see where this can be very useful. I still have the original Flappy Bird APK for Android. 😄

This brought back a memory. On PS4 there was a game, where you entered this area and had to fight a house that came alive and at the same time a bunch of wild dogs were coming after you. The character you played was a girl. I can't remember what the name of the game was. But that boss fight was so difficult, I quit playing since I couldn't get past that point.

Haha! Good catch. I counted them out of curiousity. There were a total of 36 games on the list.

A game can get dry after the story is over. One example I can think of it the Horizon games (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West). Once the campaign is over, there may be still be things to do like find collectibles. But even when you have accomplished all that you can accomplish then you can still run around and fight mechanical monsters. But at this point, there is no point. Exactly. It would not be motivating at all.

Tell us how you really feel, lol 😆 I remember my parents telling me to go outside. But back then going out and playing with the other kids in the neighborhood was both fun and commonplace. But today it's a little less safe, and not as common. My kids didn't have any local friends who lived near us. Maybe this 13-year-old lives in the middle of nowhere. Maybe there is nothing outside. Maybe it's frigid with 2 feet of snow out there. I can overlook her comments, rather than fantasize about dismembering her, lol 😄

Thanks for the very positive review. I am definitely adding this one to my queue. I can be very sold on stellar graphics, and love it when it is paired with a great storyline.

Haha! Thanks for linking to that. It's very frustrating for sure. Kinda like Flappy Bird was back in the day. 😄

I like RPG's but have never played a MMORPG before (I dabbled with Final Fantasy 14 during a free trial but that was it). I must say I LOVE the Horizon games, so this would be something I would definitely look into to.

His reaction around the 39 minute mark is fantastic. I wonder what metric breaks the game? Time played? Score? Certain number of lines? Or is it just random or the memory of the NES gets all used up?

Never, lol. When I play games, it's for the story line. I only skip them if I am replaying something and am already overfamiliar with the game.

And if so, which one? I'm in Ohio, so it's usually a toss up between Inkarceration in Mansfield and Sonic Temple in Columbus.

I'm not too concerned at the moment. AI is just a glorified search engine married to a language model. It's fun to mess with when you are bored.

I've only tried a couple games just a few times, probably for no more than 15 minutes at a time. Once was the Samsung Galaxy VR and two other times was a Meta Quest 2. I want to get into VR and I believe I am going to go with the PSVR2 to go with my PS5.

Super Nintendo was the console I enjoyed the most as a kid and young adult. I did get the N64 but shortly after that I got into work, bars, and girls, and video games took a back seat. I didn't return to video games until I was married with little ones of my own and I got a Wii and that was memorable too, but not as much as my Super Nintendo years.

I've been far removed from Nintendo for several years now. I play on the wife or kids Switch once in a while but that's it. In my mind, Nintendo is all about bubbly cartoon characters and bright colors - family friendly entertainment. I can't mentally process a mature game on a Nintendo console, such as GTA5. Maybe they have been there all along and I just don't pay attention. Maybe I am showing my age, lol

I play games all for the storyline, so this is very important to me. I want to be drawn into it just like I would a good movie or TV series. If it can make me feel anxiety, a sense of loss, or make me tear up, all the better!

It's a positive thing. If I can play with a friend and I am on my PS5 and he is on his XBox, that would be fantastic!

You would think that XBox or the content developer could disable the camera or censor the video for those scenes. If it's against the TOS, then mke it so it isn't possible.

I buy most of my games online and download them directly to my console these days, so I am a bit indifferent. While I pay for the 2nd tier of PS Plus, I would NOT want games to go completely subscription based. That would be awful.

I'm a simple man. Right now I am looking forward to the release of FF7 Rebirth on February 29th. I also plan to get the PSVR 2 and get into virtual reality gaming.

I guess so. You like listening to yourself argue. Is English your native tongue? Read what I said again... Do you have no concept of time? It's as if I said "I like white wine" and you said "here, this red wine is so much better", and then later I say "I used to prefer white wine" and you respond "F YOU and your white wine, you bastard". C'mon man! lol!

This was an interesting list... https://www.workandmoney.com/s/most-played-video-games-a135f441e8b545aa Out of all the ones listed in that article, I have played 4 of them, lol. How about you?
