  1. I have been gaming as young as I can remember but what I cannot for the life of me remember is ever completing a full game. I think the closest I came to this was completing a career mode simulation in one of the FIFA games in my early teen years. The career modes only last for 15 seasons/years and it took me a hell of a long time to achieve. I guess it is impressive in some ways but I actually found it annoying, I wish I could have gone on longer as I had to restart all over again. Not as impressive to me.
  2. When the pandemic was really kicking off, I would spend the first two months or so at home mostly. Thankfully at this time there was things to keep me entertaining such as various e-sports events with professional athletes. It was something so unique and different, a real morale boost at the time! But the best part about this time was that Football Manager 2020 was offered on a free trial through the steam store I believe. For a good week or two I almost solidly played that and it really helped the time pass and to take my mind off my health.
  3. Back in the day I used to like KSI but that was when I was much younger and naive, into FIFA and that is when all of his content was FIFA or football related. I tried to like other FIFA related YouTubers but it just was not the same. He was the popular name at the time and how far he has come is impressive. But nowadays I just get on with my gaming and I do not find as much enjoyment in watching others.
  4. It is a huge distraction for me when people are shouting and screaming down the microphone like children. This would happen to me a lot when I played FIFA as people were so cocky and shouted abuse. It is even worse when they are young with a high pitched voice. Ever since those days I just mute every kind of gaming situation where I am faced with other people, just to be on the safe side!
  5. Whether it is the application itself, or the add ons or extras that you have purchased in game... What was the most you have ever spent on a mobile phone game? I think I can say quite proudly that I have never spent a penny on a game as I have lots of restrictions on my phone. I do not know many gamers like me who have done this. Is it unusual? But please do share with me your stories and what you've spent money on in game!
  6. GAME is a retailer over in the UK. I am not sure if you can order from there if you live outside of the UK, but if you can do it then I highly recommend it. They have some excellent deals from time to time. Right now they are offering 2 for £30 on Lego games. https://www.game.co.uk/en/deals/offer-1?cm_sp=deals-_-espot2-_-Lego2for30 I used to play these kinds of games all the time as a kid as my older brother would always buy it me for the holidays. I think it was a similiar kind of offer then, so I am surprised as these are Xbox One games which are generally quite expensive. Has anyone here tried any these LEGO games or will you be taking advantage of this offer?
  7. I had not come across Epic Games until a few weeks back when I heard they were giving away Football Manager 2020 for free. Even though the new game is coming out soon I could not believe they would offer such a thing. Turns out they did and I have been playing it a lot these last few days. But the more I use Epic Games the more I realise that it is very common for them to allow free downloads of games. They have a few freebies right now but the most notable is argubably ABZÛ which is an adventure game for you underwater enthusiasts! And it is meant to cost £15 so a big saving indeed. Has anyone tried this game?
  8. I noticed the pinned topic about the last game that you played and it got me thinking... what was your first game? Do you still play it now? For me this is difficult to remember as it was so long ago. I would take a guess at it being Runescape as I would practice and help my brother play. I have not played Runescape in a few months now, it was just something I tried again fora few weeks during lock-down period.

    Evil Apples

    My friend showed me this amazing mobile game called 'Evil Apples'. It was a popular game for him during the lock-down period as he would play it with his university friends. I thought I would check it out and since we have played a couple times and held zoom phone calls during play. I think the easiest explanation for it is it to compare it against the popular game 'Cards Against Humanity'. It is a very funny card game that you can play with your friends or against strangers. i HIGHLY recommend it for some light-hearted fun.
  10. UK based retailer 'GAME' have Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on sale for the PS4 and Xbox One for £32.99, down from its usual price of £54.99. There is also the option to buy it preowned for £22.99. https://www.game.co.uk/en/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-2388092 My brother is a huge fan of Star Wars and I think he would really like this game. What with Christmas just around the corner, I was wondering if anyone know if this is the best deal. It could make a great gift for him if it is. I do not think preowned games makes for such a good gift.
  11. I would confidently say that the majority of video games I have ever played, happen to be sport games. I am a huge sport fanatic in real life, so it is nice that I can 'kick back with a good old online adaptation. My favourites as a child would be Wii Sports as it provides me with a range of sports. We also had many controllers so we could play as a family which was nice, as we were all physically and socially active together. Another game series I always liked was FIFA and I would play it regularly as a young teenager. It is the game I miss playing the most.

    Banned

    I used to play Xbox as a younger child so my memory is a little hazey, but I do not recall ever being banned. I did however report quite a few people, generally for rude and vulgar language. I wonder if Microsoft and the authorities ever did anything about the numerous reports I filed, as some of the people that are on their headsets needed banning or at least punishment.

    Pokemon Go

    I definitely tried Pokemon Go when it become this huge 'crazy' that everyone wanted to get involved in. I would play it some days and even though I am not the biggest of Pokemon fans, it would still provide me with some enjoyment. My family on the other hand, are obsessed with this game. They continued playing it long after this 'Pokemon Go phase' ended, and I still think they may play nowadays. It is impressive how many Pokemon they have caught. 😛 I do not have that kind of time to be catching them.

    Angry Birds

    I used to love this game back in my earlier school years. I had it downloaded on my Android phone and we would play together with my friends. I felt like I was little behind them though as I had the free version, but all I cared about was the simple feeling of enjoyment that it provided me with. I must go back and re download it one time if it is still around!
  15. One game I wished I had played was Mario Kart Tour on the mobile. I guess I could still download the application, but it used to be extremely popular when it first came out. I do not know if I would struggle to find opponents now that it is not as relevant. But I do know many of my friends used to play it and I wanted to join them in playing, but I was too engrossed in another game and my studies at that time. Maybe there will be other times to try it.
  16. Mine was achieving my first 99 on Runescape as a child. I was so proud of the simplest things. It did not take too long though as it was woodcutting with ivy. What is the proudest gaming moment that you have ever had? How long did it take you to achieve such a moment? Did you have many friends to share it with? How did you celebrate it?
  17. Sometimes the games that we pay very little for can be some of our best ones. There is less pressure to enjoy the game when they are so cheap I feel. So what games have you bought extremely cheap and were they smart purchases, or did you dispose of the game pretty quickly? Do we constantly need to buy expensive and recent versions of games to have fun or are we satisfied with these deals?
  18. How long can you invest in a game before you get bored? What are the various factors that can influence your enjoyment or boredom of these different games? For me I can sit at a game for a while and play it quite regularly before I get bored. What makes it more interesting for me is having online play, as playing games of FIFA for instance against the computer can quickly become tedious.
  19. I do not think you should take these reviews so seriously as they are not anything more than another persons subjective opinion. What you may dislike, I may in fact enjoy and vice versa. I think the safest option is to play a demo version of the game to see how you feel and if you like the game play. That is what I do. Then if this is still insufficient I will check out some videos of game play on YouTube because you can actually see the game being played and make up your own mind, before a potentially expensive investment.
  20. I remember as a young gamer I used to be incredibly obsessed with achievements on my Xbox 360 as I enjoyed racking up points on my gamerscore. Back then my score was pretty low as I did not play many games except for the latest FIFA game. So what I did was buy older games in the FIFA series for maybe £1 or less and just play them for a few days to unlock as many achievements as I possibly could. Looking back on it now I think it was a bit desperate really and I could not imagine doing it again.
  21. What makes you so good at FIFA 20? Is it the constant years of playing it or are you better suited to this newer model? I have heard the game play of it is so poor, so I am interested in hearing your thoughts around this and how it affects your ability at this game. For me, I discovered recently that I am really good at Baseball on Wii Sports. I really like 'similiar' sports such as rounders and cricket, so I am not incredibly surprised as some of the skills are somewhat transferable between sports. In my first game I must have scored over 15 points and ended up receiving a 'mercy win' which is where the game ends prematurely as you are so far ahead. I did not realise this was possible but I was proud of myself.
  22. I am extremely sensitive to light, especially on a screen so most of the time mine is on the lowest possible setting. However, that is not always possible as there are some cases where I need to be higher, for instance when the sun is shining strongly in my direction. I simply cannot function when this is happening though, but I need to be able to play my games somehow, without getting a headache.

    Last Game Played

    The last game that I played was Wii Sports at my friends house. I was staying with her and it was a rainy day so it seemed like the perfect time to dust off the Nintendo Wii. I loved playing tennis and baseball on the game as it reminded me of my childhood and provided me with a lot of nostalgic feelings.
  24. I feel like you cannot go wrong with any of the old classics from the Mario series as they are still so enjoyable now. My favourites at the time were Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo DS and Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii. Back then I was fully geared up for the latter as I had the steering wheel to beat those little plumbers in style. 😉 More recently though I played a version of it on my friends Nintendo Touch and although it was enjoyable, it sadly did not have the same feeling of nostalgia or authenticity!
  25. Honestly, I miss the authenticity of the old schools graphics applied to older versions of games. With the growth of computer science and technology it can be too easy to get 'bogged down' in the basics and over complicate the design of some games. I like when a design is simple yet effective so that the game maintains its original presentation. I feel that a game earns its fan base often through its loyalty to certain components, so providing too big of a change to something like its design may put people off from buying future games in a series.
