What age is to be considered to young for gaming? 9, 6, 3? Why? I don't think any age is to young for gaming aslong as they own the right games for there age group and there not playing age restricted games.(18+)

When No Man’s Sky came out, I remember everyone got so down about it. Since then, I’ve heard lots of people say it’s actually a pretty awesome game in many respects, but the over-hyping made it a disappointment compared to unrealistic expectations. I still have not played it, but I want to. What are some other games that suffered from that kind of over-hyping?

hahahhaha yeah this whole game is so wrong but none can blame the creators for the lack of imagination.

Thank you, yeah I've seen some prices online and its around the 200-300 dollars brand new it makes me really sad since I really wanted a Vita but for that price I might as well get a Switch but it only has a couple of FPS.

This enemy is wrong on so many levels! Lol. But imagination-wise, this one’s off the freaking charts!

Angry Video Game Nerd. He's funny as hell, and reviews tons of games, especially classic games. I love his videos.

Tonberrys in FF8. Weird little bastards that just want to stab you with a kitchen knife or wave a lantern in your face.

Minesweeper 😄 Does that count?

Contra and the Sonic 1 was also easy. I think I have pretty much finished the game in a week. And the gameplay was pretty one dimensional. But it's the thrill that got me to complete the game.

On that note, I think even the castle wolfestein's old warrior vilian at the end is scary too. I have seen some really creepy similar heroes in other games. It'd be interesting to see some of similar such resurrected vilains.

Zelda games. The Legend Of Zelda & Zelda 2 (NES), one of the ones on SNES (Link To The Past), Links Awakening (Game Boy), Ocarina Of Time (N64). I used to be almost unbeatable at fighting games, but since I haven't played any in years a 2 year old could most likely whip my ass now.

I’m in agreement that the Big Daddies are awesome! At the same time, I have a hard time thinking of them as “enemies,” so much as just something I’m “forced to kill.” If anything, I tend to see them as unfortunate victims. The entire time I’m shooting, I’m apologizing all over myself. And then when the Little Sisters start blubbering over “Mr. Bubbles …” I am in such a rush to click “Rescue,” lol.

I agree with @kingpotato. I too played violent video games at a young age, and wasn't affected adversely in any way. I think it depends more on a child's personality and maturity level than their age. So different ages for different kids. Hopefully their parents know them well enough to make sensible choices.

In that case, Bioshock Infinite, lol. I mean, it literally rewards you with free health and salts when you die. Sometimes my strategy was just to get myself shot.

I'm really glad that we're mostly on the same page with regards to this.

I have had and still have the Nintendo DS, 3DS, Wii, PS3, and Gameboy advance emulators on my Windows 10 computer and I haven't experienced any issues at all. With Microsoft ceasing support for Windows 7 this year, now would be a good time to upgrade. Windows 10 isn't completely fool-proof but it gets the job done.

Nope and I sincerely hope it fails because as @kingpotato and the other stated, I like to own my games rather than pay some subscription fee for streaming games.

There's a lot of early system games that wouldn't have the audience they once had when they originally came out. One that I think wouldn't have the same audience would be Contra. It was a great game in the 80's, with a slight Vietnam war feel to it. Or maybe that part was just me. But today even South Park is fighting aliens. And the war games like Socom, and CoD would surpass Contra in such a great way, that it would most likely flop completely. Then there are games like Dig Dug, Galaga, Q*Bert, and Marble Madness that kids would look at today and flip out asking "WTF is this shit?!" They were mind blowing then. They would be mind blowing today, but in the opposite direction.

Some of the few I can say 1. Days gone 2. Serious Sam 3. Walking Dead 4. House of Dead and many zombie games. Most of the horror games are survival games of some sort. Except the call of cthulu type which are more of mystery solving game than horror hax type games.

I'd say the bosses in Serious Sam seems to be pretty strong on imagination. They seem to have various powers and can be brutal if you ignore them. So I'd say those enemies are definitely bad enough to deal with.
