Don't forget Gamergate as well with gamers facing off against gaming media which basically turned into a shit slinging contest which never benefited any parties involved.

Based on stories from actual game testers, it's actually pretty stressing because they have to met certain deadlines and the contracts tend to be very performance based so the one who highlights the most issues tends to make far more. In addition to that, game testers are deemed dispensable so it's not a certainty that you'll hold that position for a prolonged period of time.

So true - I was also looking forward to it but when my friend showed me how poor the game was in Beta, I changed my mind. I also have always liked Battlefield but Battlefield V and 2042 have been mega disappointments.

You're right - most modern games lack quality content and an engaging story/plot to keep most gamers entertained. Callisto Protocol is one that comes to mind with the amount of hype and it's a total disappointment. I mean, it wasn't as buggy as say Cyberpunk but the story is so lackluster. The gameplay has a few great elements but there's nothing else to it and the budget for this game is 160m?!

Totally agree - I never really purchased skins in the first place especially if they serve no other purpose other than to modify your character's appearance and nothing else.

Yeah, I also try to have a lot of backup strategies for likely scenarios that I may encounter when playing a particular game.

Wait - you played it in VR? How'd you manage not run into the wall or something. I don't think I could handle it in VR at all - the normal game is terrifying enough.

I tried it on Wifi while on the road and it's really impractical unless the connection is really strong. I was using it on my Samsung S8+ Tablet a few months back and it was a horrible experience.

There's also Among Us but the gameplay gets pretty repetitive after a month or so. I wouldn't mind the whole boat load of Battle Royale games if they were all extremely unique but they're just poor imitations of Fortnite.

Yeah, you right - the shooting mechanics were kinda wonky and in addition to that you couldn't hide behind cover and shoot which made the first stage a lot harder as there wasn't anywhere on that pier to really hide.

Burnout Paradise was one of my favorite games in the mid to late 2000's especially on PS2.

And to top it all off, it had to be EA who has pioneered this whole strategy. How greedy can you get?

Midnight Club is a great shout and Pokemon as well. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid up until my late teens.

That game quickly made me distrust all statues I see in-game as they kept constantly moving and peeking at you around corners. That is pretty genius how the game developers managed to make a normally inanimate object (the statue) so terrifying. I swear it'll take me some time before I ever try to replay that game.

I had Xbox Gamepass for a few months and I'll just say that trying to play it on the go is a hassle as internet speeds have to be consistent for you to enjoy it on the road.

Resident Evil 4 and Bloodborne are two great choices for this list just because of the circumstances you find yourself in each game. Those villagers are vicious and they attack in numbers while you have limited ammo and the bosses and enemies in the first level of Bloodborne are overwhelming in every sense.

I mean, they have been around for many years now and the trend hasn't shown any signs of slowing down but I have observed that many of these games are basically poor imitations of Fortnite/ COD Warzone/ PUBG. I'd like to see some of these games with more unique mechanics.

I agree but it'll take a while before the effects of unionization will have any sort of impact and it has to be something widespread and mandatory. Not an optional thing for certain companies.

Very valid point, I also get confused when a $60+ game has ads and battle passes - it's very greedy of the publishers and developers to be ripping off their fanbase like that.

To be honest, I don't even really use TikTok all that much so I haven't tried it all. It's a very strange platform in terms of monetization and how they handle creators especially new ones.

Yeah, it's started off okay but I'm just looking out for all the craziness to begin.
