One other thing is when you get a scripted death or a death that happens on purpose. I think that kinda counts right? That's fair. I remember in GTA IV the driving being kind of crap at first. But once you got it down, it became so much easier.

Actually, I may have one. The walking dead season one by telltale, I felt had a drastic shift. Spoilers for those who haven't played, but there's a point near the end where you can choose to take someone's life. I won't spoil who, but it puts you into the shoes of another character after, who then becomes the main character.

Another deal breaker is games with drm or require you to always be online. Especially if it's a single player game. I never understood why drm is a thing. I know it's meant to stop people from sharing and downloading these games for free. But I think it hurts more than anything. Because when that games servers are shut down, you can't play it. So I never liked drm and stuff like it.

The funny thing about Thor and all these mythologies is that I believe they are public domain essentially. Which means anyone can make a Thor movie, game etc. if they want to. And my guess is that if you liked the first god of War, this new one should deliver what you've been wanting.

Yeah I've been taking my second playthrough really slow. Already purchased all the guns you can buy before chapter IV or V I don't remember what chapter I'm on at the moment. Still many guns locked. Hell I can't even buy some of the fishing shit because I haven't gone far enough yet in the story. I don't know if I will 100% the game. I don't know if I want to be bothered to collect everything. But idk, we'll see. 🙂

That makes sense. I figured most teams had multiple people and even have smaller teams within the team. Didn't know you can't have people take over for someone who can't play though. That would suck. What happens in the case of someone dying? Could they bring in a person to take over his/her position? I feel like that would be awful to turn away a team because of death and such.

Yuck, playing a game in ranked lol. But seriously, I can't stand playing in ranked lobbies, so many tryhards who just camp and spawn kill. Fun times! I prefer sticking with all the not so pro gamers. It's why I rarely bother with ranked modes these days, because they tend to be nothing but tryhards making your day hell. I want to have fun not die a ton lol.

Yeah going too far back could make it tough for the multiplayer. But than again, we are talking about the series that uses guns in time periods that make no sense. So if they wanted to, they could easily make the online mode work by making the guns unrealistic or just outright crazy. I feel like that's the direction COD is going. Especially with the type of skins and avatars you can get in current cod games. I think it'll only get crazier.

Sounds appealing enough to me. How much does it go for, do you know? If it's not too pricey I may eventually pick it up soon. I'm kinda in need of some retro style nostalgia. This reminds me a lot of Mario and a few others. And it seems we don't get many copy cats like it. 🙂

Yeah it released on the 360 digitally. I can't recall the official date, but I'm going to guess 2011 or 2012 was when it dropped. I remember trying to get my friends to jump off COD and get into GO, but they didn't. I maybe played a few more times before realizing I'm not that good at this game and moved on. Main reason I got it, is because I played CS on PC in a LAN party, and have fond memories playing source I think it was. But they were all on PC and I don't think they had a 360 at the time.

Are you thinking of State of Decay maybe? The one for the Xbox consoles? If so I played the first game and I think a portion of the second game before I quit because of a game breaking glitch. If it's not state of decay, it could be Dead Island, dying light, etc. I don't know what else it could be.

Yup, that's how it was in power wash sim. I'd get to 99% and would have to figure out where the final bit of dirt is so I can 100% it. Has trouble with a few levels where it felt like I couldn't complete it. Was annoyed a few times when I have to climb to a high place to get the last bit of dirt. But, I always kept coming back to the next levels because it was still relaxing for a while. 🙂

Yeah I heard it is kinda repetitive in terms of it's gameplay. For me, I would probably only play the game once anyway, so the replayability just isn't there I imagine. Yeah I kinda feel the same. Or better yet, I feel it could be a bit overrated for what it is. I think because it's got a cat people are in love with it because of that. I think if this game had a human or something, it would have been forgotten.

Honestly, there isn't a whole lot that I'm looking forward to. I'm kinda tempted to get the new AEW wrestling game whenever that is expected. Maybe the next god of War, but I still need to play the first one before Ragnarok. Aside from that, maybe the new Skate game.

True, the mediums are two different things. One is a sport you sit down and use your hands and eyes. Sports in general uses way more. As well, we call golfers athletes, and all they do is smack a small ball around with a stick. So maybe they can be considered athletes in their own regard.

Yup, it became a massive hit fast. I believe it came out in 2017, and when the battle royale mode dropped is when it really took over. Anyway, I wonder how much he was paid. Maybe he was paid once to be featured, or he makes a bit of money on each skin sale. That'd be a lot of money I bet.

Yeah I guess, just odd to control the release of games in this way. I figured as much. I wonder if they also charge for being signed up to this list or whatever. I could see some countries doing that.

I think for the most part, most GTA characters are meant to be disliked. Considering we always play characters who have done bad things and still do, it makes sense you wouldn't relate to them. I think that's the way GTA works, in that your character is usually just as bad as the people you're killing in game. Who wants to relate to Trevor or CJ or any of the main characters in the series? And that's why I think we take control of our own avatars in GTA online.

I just think, if they drop support for online, including fixing issues, then maybe it's time they just let people mod the online side. I think it would make a lot more sense if they just drop their support. On top of that, if a game no longer has support, why should there then be options to buy currency? Like I feel that is wrong when the online mode is barely popping.

Might want to post in the mobile section here - https://www.vgr.com/forum/forum/36-mobile/ I know Razer has their own phone model, and may have even made a new one. I heard from someone who owned one and I guess they are really good for gaming. Could even be good for streaming of games like on Xbox and nvidia. But, these days a lot of the newer phones, from Apple and Samsung for example, are becoming better for gaming.

Yeah free to play is not always a good sign, but from what I saw so far, I have some hope in it. Then again I don't see myself playing it all too much, never been a smash fan, but with it being free to play, I can get more of my friends to join in and play. But there's always time for them to ruin things.

It just doesn't make sense for video games. It kinda is counter-intuitive, because if you want to teach people about climate change, you probably wouldn't use something like video games because it in turn is bad for climate change. Think about tech in general. Any piece of tech we use, puts off pollution and other junk out into our atmosphere. Like I said before, maybe to teach people, but you'd be better off teaching them the normal way instead of a game, at least imo.

Yeah it was a mess at release I heard. It's bad that even fans aren't picking the game up as they used to. Back in the day Battlefield was huge, and many played it. But when they started to slack on the series, is when things started to go bad. I think they jumped to the yearly releases and that's what really hurt it. Then again, Battlefield has been known to have some big bugs, but 2042 was a big drop for them, because they took a lot out, and it came out a broken mess.

Graphics is one thing, but for the most part, these yearly released sports games are much of the same. They may change the graphics to be more pretty, but you'll probably notice they don't change the controls/animations or much of anything else. If they just took time each year to release updates instead, I think sports games would be a lot more regarded instead of hated.

To each their own I say. If you really want to get that updated version, I say go for it. But for me, I just can't see myself paying $60 or more for a remake of a game that I already paid $60 for. I'm cool with a cheaper price tag, but full price doesn't feel fair to me. But, I just don't buy it. I vote with my wallet, even though it's not much. I just wait until a sale pops up and grab the game then. I won't pay full price anymore. I'm patient. 😄
