I'm sure all of us have had games we've been looking forward to for years only for them to massive disappointments on release. Here's a few games that make my list: Star Wars Battlefront II - Caught up in the nostalgia of the original Battlefront games on the PS2, I was so confident this was going to be a hit that I pre-ordered. Needless to say, on launch it was a massive flop. That was also the last time I ever pre-ordered a game. Cyberpunk 2077 - We were all gushing over this game years before its release and I almost pre-ordered it but I remembered my last experience with Battlefront. To say that the launch was a massive disappointment wouldn't even begin to describe how I felt. The game was buggy and borderline unplayable at times. It's pretty good after the many patches and the DLCs. Starfield - I was cautiously optimistic based on what I saw. However, given Bethesda's recent record, a part of me was saying that they'd give us a subpar experience so my expectations were reasonably low. I got this game for free and when I tell you that I'm still disappointed, you wouldn't have any idea. The universe just feels devoid of content - the worlds are bland. Modding Elder Scrolls games and Fallout is one thing because those games had a decent amount of content to begin with. Starfield, on the other hand, felt like playing in a massive void. What games we're you excited for before release only for them to leave you massively disappointed after release?

So true - the late 80's to the mid 2000s was the best era of hip hop/rap. It's gone steadily downhill since then. Nowadays, I'm turned off by mainstream hip-hop/rap. It's so boring, generic, talentless and mind-numbing.

I just started watching the series with my wife this afternoon, we only watched the first episode so far so I scrolled past the majority of the post. We're both enjoying it so far and will definitely continue watching it! I never played the games before, but I know a little bit of the franchise so I see things here and there that make me go "oh look, there's Nuke Cola!"

For those not aware, Niantic recently updated the avatar customizations in Pokemon Go yesterday. Many fans have been complaining about the changes over on Twitter lately, and many people are begging Niatic to bring back the old avatar system. As someone who plays Pokemon Go the new avatar customizations don't bother me too much, in fact I think it's cool that it represents different body types now rather than just one body type for male/female avatars. In fact, the avatars are more gender neutral in a way, and I think that's why so many people are upset over it. Other reasons though are the models themselves looking a bit janky and not as polished as they used to be.

I've learned to not worry about the things I cannot control. Honestly I've been quite a angry person for a while, but the past few days I have felt more alive and less angry than I ever have. I did cut out Facebook of my daily routine a few weeks ago, and honestly I've felt much better now that I don't have to browse that toxic site! Perhaps that's the reason why I've been in a good mood lately lol.

I thankfully never done this myself! Though if I did happen to drop it in the toilet after I flushed, I would try and use the rice treatment to get the water absorbed as much as possible. But if I dropped it like The Blackangel did, then too bad it's getting thrown away and I'll get a new one lol. I already do not like looking in the bowl after I take a shit, I don't know why it's just one of those things that weird me out so I just close the lid after taking a shit lol.

Nope I don't watch any music channels anymore. I don't have cable or satellite, I do have Hulu but I am not even sure if the music channels are part of the package I have. I used to watch MTV and VH1 when I was growing up. I didn't have digital cable so I couldn't watch MTV 2, or Fuse. I never cared for rap music nor country growing up so I never watched BET or CMT.

I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V

Cyberpunk 2077 was a huge disappointment. I remembered Charles, my work colleague, who preordered that game still regretting tull today. I mean, that game made me never to trust preordering games again.

I want forums to be the primary place people hang out online again. Discord really isn't a great place to get information and gather, because you still have to rely on outside websites like Google Docs to keep things organized. Plus it's difficult to locate old posts, at least now you can actually search for keywords in direct messages. Also I want frosted tips to come back in style too, I was never allowed to have them growing up as a kid lol.

Mine is my complete in box copy of Knuckles Chaotix. My wife got me it for my birthday way back in 2010, long before the price of the game went up. She got it for $40 on Amazon of all places. According to price charting, the game goes for $254 complete. As a die hard Sonic fan, I will never sell this especially since Sega has yet to re-release the game on any other platform. (It was released on Gametap in 2007 but that's the only other time it's been re-released on any official platform.)

I have a happy place I built out into a field where I keep rabbits. I go out there and let them loose to graze. It's amazing watching them run free and hop with a twist in the air.

Single-player story games, if the story is well written. Otherwise, I prefer co-op games like Monster Hunter, etc. I'm an extremely chill and laid-back gamer. I don't play PVP too much. There's only 1 game I play that is PVP currently, and that's Gigantic (I have a thread on it here with the trailer and whatnot).

I can't say I ever played this game and it is the first time I am hearing about it. After seeing the video above for it thought it looks a lot of fun and something I would for sure play when I have the chance. Golf with Friends is a ton of fun. I have not played it in a while but given the chance and having some time, it is a game I could spend hours on playing with friends.

"Never Give Up!" - John Cena Being a fan of John Cena since childhood, I've got this nailed pretty well in my brain. These 3 words, define who I am when it comes to hardships in life.

The only old-person habit I have adopted is working hard. I know it and it is really a fact that hard work pays off. These days people are scared of working hard and try to find shortcuts to make a living but that doesn't work.

I've learned not to worry about the things I can't control. Instead, I deal with what I can control - I'm hella calm nowadays no matter what's happening.

I'm definitely a realist and I see the fake wizard before even walking the yellow brick road. I spit on the road. That makes me a realist. My whole name is realty vs adventure. It's my whole theme. My glass of half full and half empty is exactly reality vs adventure. It's a struggle between optimism and pessimism. Cynicism vs stoicism.

I already have a ticket like that bought for a concert coming up in July. It's for a Citizen Soldier concert in KC. My ticket includes a lot of awesome things. Here's a pic that says what all it includes.

I am looking forward to the remake as well. I've seen a couple of gamers become optimistic about the remake of MGS 3 being a good one and I hope Konami don't disappoint.

I am the type that prefers RPGs games. I mean, I want to feel like the firepower man who is controlling a lot of ammunition. That is definitely what keeps me going whenever that I am playing that kind of game. When it comes to Role Playing games, Star Wars is still my favourite game.

I was a part of one local gaming event in my town many years ago. It was organised in a way to ensure that the Xbox gaming community know more about their products. I connected and made a couple of friends, but that was many years ago.

No, not those prequels. Have you ever played a game with background lore which was as good as or better than the game's main story, and it made you want to see a prequel? If so, share yours here. A big one for me would be Final Fantasy X. I'd love to see S-E make a prequel set 1,000+ years before FFX, during the machina war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. Maybe Shuyin and Lenne could be the main characters, and we'd finally get to see Yu Yevon when he was a human, and the game could end with him performing the initial summoning of Sin. I think it would be fascinating to see Spira before Sin destroyed it. They could also explain the origins of the Al Bhed, which I'm curious about. A prequel to Horizon: Zero Dawn would also be great. I'd love to see a third-person shooter where you have to fight the Faro machine swarm to buy time for the Zero Dawn project to be completed.

I got NHL '99 once as a teen. I lost that copy and years later bought another one. I've actually come to hate the game because I feel like my skaters are slower than those of the other team.

Never properly finished the GTA V single player campaign. Just didn't interest me enough to finish it. GTA Online very quickly took over and they kept it updated, so...I turned to that for a while until it got stale. It never quite resonated with me.

No - I've never played this game before. However, I've played "Golf With Your Friends" and it's actually a fun game to play with others.

No shit.

Yeah, it's looking more and more like the controller. Best of luck with the inspection and be sure to let me know.

I think this is some sort of issue with the game. I've come across stories of similar control issues on both PS3 and PS4. If you haven't done so, try reinstalling the game and, if possible (I don't know if the PS3 is still supported like this) make sure the game and system software is up[ to date.

Could you please tell me what platform you playing this on and what controller this is? I just want to do a little troubleshooting as I've had a lot of experience with 3rd party controllers and know that there can be solutions to these issues that don't involve having to buy a new controller. On the contrary, I find that that doesn't really work on most occasions.

I used to have to take up for kids getting bullied in school all the time. It's why you should teach your kids self defense so that they can protect themselves at school. My parents used to tell me that if someone hit me unprovoked, I should kick their ass so that's what I used to do.

I prefer to have short hair, it's easier to deal with and if my hair gets too long I would have to put it up in a man bun at work since I work in a factory and I don't want to do that lol. My father has long hair and I don't know how he deals with it, I know he would comb it constantly.

That's the neat part, I don't lol. All my controllers and cords are shoved together in a shelf with pull out cubes. I need to get around to actually organizing everything, I just unpacked everything quite quickly after I moved into my house a couple years ago. I might finally get around to organizing everything this weekend, better late than never right?

The song that I am currently listening to at the moment is Hello by Adele. I had to go back to that song because of how good the lyrics are. It is helping me connect with the reality at the moment.

Thugs Get Lonely Too by 2pac is my shower song. I connect well with that song most of the times.

My cell phone is normally on my wireless charger at nights so I always know where to find it.

I won't be getting another pet any time soon, I just got a kitten back in September last year and he's a handful lol. I wouldn't trade him for the world though, I love him so much. He imprinted on my wife and I pretty quickly too, which is unusual for a cat. We also have a old cat named Gizmo, two cats are enough for my wife and I for now at least. 😛

Source - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-9-could-be-an-open-world-game-report/1100-6522123/ There are rumors about the next Resident Evil game, and it looks like it could turn out to be an open-world game. I don't know if I would be for an open world RE game, but I think it could work. A lot of the games have had decent sized levels, but I don't think any of them have gone full on open world just yet. Could an RE game work as an open world game? Supposedly the recent Dragon's Dogma 2 used the RE engine to handle the open world. They also say that the RE engine is being used for the Monster Hunter Wild game. I think it could work, what about you?

The best part of the day for me is when I must have finished everything that I'm supposed to do and I am now home relaxing and enjoying myself because nothing beats resting and having a good time for yourself.

It is definitely going to be playing football because it is my favorite sport. It is the same way I enjoy playing football that I also enjoy watching football which is why I make out time every weekend to follow all the matches that are being played in English Premier League.

Mathematics was my most hated subject when I was in school. I was so bad at it that I didn't know I was even going to pass the subject whenever I was taking my exams. My favorite subject when I was in school used to be Integrated Science.

I am the kind of person that find it very difficult to cry for any reason whatsoever. I don't even cry when someone that is very close to me die which is the reason why I don't think there is another thing so painful that is going to be able to bring up my tears.

I bought FFX multiple times because, for reason, the disk for that particular PS2 game kept going wrong. Other PS2 disks got damaged from time to time and needed replacing, but nothing like as often as FFX did. I also bought the remaster for both PC and console, so count those and I must have bought the game on 5 or 6 separate occasions. Then there some of the usual suspects that launched again and again on new hardware with new updates like Skyrim, but I think my buy count for that sits at 4, which isn't bad.

Personally, I'm a long way from convinced this would work. A player approaches an open world with ambition and a keenness to explore, not with the kind of apprehension and dread that one would associate with horror. Horror is told very much through the environment and that environment is meant to make you feel trapped and desperate. An open world is all about empowerment and opportunity. It's meant to make the player feel important and powerful, not what one want's to feel in horror game. To me, this more likely to work if Capcom focused less on the horror in this open world Resident Evil game and for the game to be like the more action orientated games in the series, like 4. The obvious problem with that is that at least a significant portion of the fanbase would be put off by that after seen some great horror games and remasters from the series in recent years. A Resident Evil open world has another more indigenous problem. Unlike other companies like Ubisoft or Bethesda, Capcom isn't exactly known for it's open worlds. When they have given it a go, it's been to mixed success. Sorry, but I do see Capcom making a mess of it, especially if they do try to squeeze the square block that is survival-horror into the round hole of an open world.

Hmmm, do you think an open world RE would become Days Gone? I imagine an open world RE would be similar to the Evil Within series. Well, half open world I think. To test the waters. I highly doubt they will go full on open world.

One of the reasons I like the RE series is that the games aren't open world and can be beaten in 12 hours or less. I'll definitely pass on this one.

An open-world RE game could absolutely work. We have Dead By Daylight as a primary example. Days Gone is another example of a zombie-filled open-world game that was pretty successful.

I mostly play games on my phone when I am outside. It’s always console when I am home. So since I am on the move I barely spend half an hour playing games on my smartphone a day. I only use it to pass away time when I’m waiting on someone or something.

I totally agree with you here - Everything is going digital and companies can at any moment end a game and you'll no longer have access to it because the servers have been shut down.

I miss the days where gaming on consoles did not really cost anything. Like the earlier days of Nintendo before they started charging. That is another reason why I am primarily a PC gamer. I do own a PlayStation plus with the PlayStation five, but to be honest, I might let my PlayStation plus expire and not renew it. Considering that they are raising the prices up a fair amount.
