That's an interesting question. The arena shooters can be a fun slaughter house at times. I recently play COD Vanguard and Battlefield 1 and I really really enjoyed that realistic approach. I was impressed and it didn't have that fun feel, but it was superb and not soon to be forgotten. I think arena shooters lose a little bit of story because the massacre eventually gets pointless when they keep coming at you. There would have to be a lot of details of blood, guts, and limbs for it to be continually enjoyable. And I would need a break in-between attacks so that I can indulge myself in chopping up corpses and write on the walls with their blood. Even though I don't know a game that allows that. But that would be ideal for me to keep interest. So I guess 1st person hack n slash arena would be more interesting than arena shooter. Nothing like up close and personal multiple hacks at the neck to chip the head off one stroke at a time instead of one clean strike. 

I'm 36 and haven't quit yet. I'm not saying my situation can't change be cause it can, but I doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. I've kind of settled into a life that fits gaming better than other hobbies might.

Same here, I will play videogames for as long as I can

On topic, I will say I have seen a marked improvement from several people, but there is still room for further improvement. Still, well done to all who it may concern.

Let me take this opportunity and introduce myself to you all here in VGR. I'm Icefrost and it's my pleasure to be a part of this exciting gaming community. I hope to grab a lot while I'm here and contribute as well. 

Like @Shagger and @Crazycrab I have to bow out of this as well. My feelings on NFT's are well known as also, so I couldn't support a game that promotes them and have any hope of self respect after, since I would be violating my own personal principles. To those here who are either indifferent or support NFT's, I wish you the best of luck. But I just can't support this whole craze.

I find that very hard to believe that a gamer isn't on Discord. Why if may ask? It was one of the first place I started making use of when I started gaming full time. I have already joined the Discord channel. 

If after checking out the game and it's worth the time to be invested in playing it, if I can have fun with it in the process, why not? I would give it a try. 

I never really taken my time to play any NFT based games. I wouldn't condemn NFTs and Metaverse, the world is digitalized, and video games are becoming much more interesting with Metaverse. I've witnessed P2E games that are connected with NFTs as it's reward tokens. @DC I've joined their discord server, not yet approved, I'll see how it goes with the project before I say anything further, thank you. 

MetaRace is an exciting decentralized app (dapp) which allows players to breed, train and race mechanical NFT horses in the metaverse. This is a play-to-earn (P2E) game running on the Caduceus blockchain.

Not only can you buy and sell NFT horses, but you can also do the same with saddle cloths, jockey silks, bridles and more. You even can stake $Meta tokens if you want to run your own racecourse.
Naturally, along with racing your own horses, you can bet on horse races in the metaverse.
But what makes MetaRace even cooler is its connection to land-based horse racing. Oliver Cole of Whatcombe Racing is collaborating with MetaRace on this project. As a community, the players of MetaRace are also cooperating to buy a real racehorse that will be running in real-world events. As a member of the community, you can own a percentage stake in the horse as an NFT.

I have made how I personally feel about NFT's quite clear on this forum, so with all due respect to @DC who I know works hard to find good sponsors for the forum, I will not be participating in this. Even so, I know @DC would not have this sponsor on VGR if it wasn't legitimate, so I will offer due respect in kind and check out the game at the very least, and if it's fun to play then it's fun to play. I would encourage others to do the same. However, I would always advise caution with these things.

I'll cast my vote for @Boblee, active and his posts been improving significantly as of late.

@DCcan I swap my initial nomination that's @skyfirefor @NightmareFarm? I think that the latter have been more active lately. 

My nomination is for somebody who I think has criminally overlooked, that being @Yaramaki. Quality, well thought out posts, active and helpful person. His posts are truly worth reading every time.
