I'd be more inclined to say FF VIII was a massive jump to VII as well. It was one of the best looking games out at the time.

What do you mean we can't blame the executives? They're the ones that want their studios to create these shitty live-service games instead of proper games like Days Gone. Instead of give us what gamers want, they're making live-service crapfest that generate the most profit.

As someone who plays Elden Ring often enough, I honestly don't care that much about this. It's fantastic that people are still buying the game but it honestly does nothing for me.

The color grade is off and some of the animations definitely look like the work of AI. But that's what the industry will come to be in the future - more games built with AI. If you thought most games look alike now, in five years, we'll be wondering why the same game is being featured for the whole award show only to realize it was different games...

I remember Deathspank and Swarm from the Xbox 360 era and I thought those were both decent games but then they went mainly into Mobile Gaming and that's a very tough market to compete in. Only the fittest survive in the Mobile Gaming space unfortunately.

Not sure it'll work out well for them. Yes, Sega has Sonic and a few other titles, but nowhere near the catalog of a Netflix. My advice would be to think of something else.

You learn to work together with strangers to achieve a common goal. Sometimes, it's not about winning, it's about the fun you had.

Facts. I met my now gaming buddies from online MMOs in the 2010s. We played games like Champions Online and others.

GTA: Vice City especially the radio channels are absolute flipping hilarious.

A 5-disc console sounds crazy - I'm not going to lie.

Same here. My father bought this and Duck Hunt as my first two games when I was about 3.

Same to you, mate.

War Dogs - 8/10

Kirby and The Forgotten Land is absolutely incredible. It's funny because there's usually one or two Kirby games per Nintendo console that I always love. You should've seen me in the bank today, lol.

World music offers such rich diversity, but there are so many genres I feel like I haven’t fully explored. Whether it’s Afrobeat, Tuvan throat singing, or traditional Balkan folk, there’s so much to discover! What world music genre are you curious to dive deeper into and why? Any favorite artists or albums you'd recommend to get started?

R&B has evolved so much over the years, with many artists combining classic soul elements with modern production techniques. Whether it's the smooth vocals with electronic beats or the fusion of live instruments with synths, there's a lot of innovation happening. How do you feel about this mix of old-school vibes and contemporary styles? Does it feel like a natural progression, or do you think it's losing something essential in the process?

Whether it’s the lyrical complexity, rhythm, or the storytelling, there's something unique about these styles. Do you prefer it when a song leans heavily into spoken verses, or do you find it breaks up the flow of music too much?

I recently gave an album a second chance after not vibing with it the first time. To my surprise, I ended up loving it. The songs I found annoying at first suddenly clicked, and I noticed so many subtle details I missed before. Has anyone else experienced this? Which albums did you initially dislike but later ended up loving? What changed for you?

Do you believe music transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, connecting people from different backgrounds and experiences? While certain melodies or rhythms may evoke similar emotions, can music truly be understood and appreciated universally, or is its meaning always influenced by personal and cultural context?
