Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't use it. If you enjoy the 3D aspects, more power to you. If it makes your experience even better, awesome! Just for me, it didn't really give me much. Yeah the first time playing in 3D was pretty dope, but the effect wore off so to say. But, if it's still an enjoyable experience for you, more power to ya bud. 🙂

Yeah I think I heard a while back that the PS5's OS takes up a decent amount of space itself, that's probably why there's less storage. Each console has a small portion of the HDD space reserved for the OS and some other functions. Sadly, these new gen consoles should have come with a lot more storage, but I think that's why they made it expandable so you can upgrade the storage if you want to. These days the storage these consoles get aren't nearly enough for our needs. You'd think they would have released these consoles with at least 1tb of storage or even 2tb. That would go over a ton imo.

I absolutely love this trailer. From old man Ezio, to that awesome song. This is how you make a top notch cinematic trailer. Then again, Assassin's Creed has been known to produce some great trailers over the years. But hands down, this trailer is the best AC has ever had to offer. At least in terms of trailers. Honestly I'd say it's Ubisoft's best trailer of all time.

True, but I never found them super trustworthy because of how people have hacked leaderboards in the past. Every COD I played resulted in hacked leaderboards with people that I don't think belonged. And even these days I can see some games having hacked leaderboards. So in some way I think it would be a good idea to keep stats yourself just in case they have some graphical glitch that cuts out your total or something. With tech you never know.

I feel like esports players are becoming more popular these days, especially with esports starting to grow into a massive thing. I can see some people not wanting the stardom, but I see a lot of teams out there who are becoming popular because of their skills and history gaming in tournaments. I think in the next 5-10 years esports is going to be at the best its ever been and I can see more people jumping into it. Hell, I may have to eventually.

I used to have an okay KD ratio in the COD games back in the day. MW3 I think I had like a 1.54 kd, nothing impressive, but it was one of the best KD's I had in the series. Most of the time I was a little over 1.00 kd. These days I don't really much care. I prefer to just have fun with the game. I like to play with friends anyway, so if I can game with my friends, I will enjoy the game even more.

I was catching some stuff on Facebook a while back about streamers who cheat in game and get caught while they're streaming. I've wathced The King of Kong I think it was, and honestly loved that story. Billy Mitchell is a fun character though, he made that movie. In order to post links, I believe you have to meet a certain amount of posts. At least that's what I imagine. I see you have 20 posts, I think you may need to reach 25 in order to post links, but not 100% sure. I saw a video a while back about people catching someone hacking in a tournament. I guess the crew figured it out, and while they were questioning him, he was attempting to delete the hacks. I could see a bunch of people hacking in tournaments if it's tough to catch. Makes you wonder how many use cheats to get ahead.

That makes sense I suppose, considering that all of that content is readily available after streaming. I guess I didn't think of that before I started the topic. I'm sure more pro gamers don't want their tricks revealed. Yeah I game a lot, but I don't know if I want to play for 8 to 16 hours a day. Then again if I didn't have other work to do, I would probably be into gaming that long. But, on another side, I wouldn't know what to play, considering I'm not a pro at most games these days.

Yeah I imagine the profits differ depending on the type of tournament or event you're taking part in. I figure most major tournaments pay pretty well. But I can see the smaller, tournaments & events dishing out less and less money. Still though, if I can win $100 here and there, it may add up.

Do you ever deal with players who like to argue and talk smack? I can see a lot of these esports leagues having players who act high and mighty and act as if they're the best players around. I have a friend who has that mentality and he thinks he's one of the best gamers out there. Always cringe when people proclaim they're the best. Bugs me so much lol.

I'm tempted to give it a try, maybe I can find some tournaments near me I can enter. I just wouldn't know where to begin in terms of searching in my area. As well, I figure there's not many esports leagues in my area just yet anyway. But yeah, color me intrigued now.

To be fair, it has gotten vastly better since its initial release blunder. I remember the problems Bethesda and company had dealing with the constant problems at release. Not only that, they didn't release the exact duffel bag that was promised for the collectors edition. It was just one thing after the other with them. But, after years of fixing, things have gotten a lot better. It's still a glitchy mess where a lot of stuff still hasn't been sorted out. Give it a go if you have a group of friends willing to play, because it can be fun.

Yeah it's all rumors at this point and time, a lot of it is just false hope if anything. Konami could still make a Silent Hill game, but if they don't have Kojima or the original Team Silent on board, I honestly can't see a Silent Hill game being good. We all know their track record with the last few games in the series, it will probably end up being much of the same with a sequel.

yeah not even close to athletes who play football, basketball, soccer, etc. It takes some skill no doubt, but the most unhealthy of people could still compete in the esports side and still come out as victors. Professional gamers don't need to be fit, or fast, or good at actual sports. All they need, is to be able to do good in their games. And that takes hand eye coordination and mental skills if anything. But I wouldn't pair esports players with actual people who play physically demanding sports.

Yeah, I don't see Microsoft stopping the train. I initially thought they were joking about stopping the yearly releases, but so far we're getting a new COD this year and haven't heard anything else about other ones being stopped. So I'm calling BS on their claim of taking a break. I have no idea where they would be going next, considering that they have done pretty much everything. Korean war could be a good option, or we could even go further back into the Civil War, but I doubt we'd go there. I could see an attempt with future warfare again, but who knows.

Oh yeah, getting stuck somewhere when there's no clear path. I've been there with many games. I hate having to get out a walkthrough for a game to figure out what to do next. But if it's something I just can't figure out on my own, and I have sat there for a while trying to figure it out, I'll use a walkthrough just to get to the next point. But then I always find myself relying on the walkthrough for the next parts too.

Some people released a single player story mod for RDR2 single player. I guess it includes new story missions and new locations as well. I don't remember what the mod was called, but it sounded cool enough. I am tempted to download it when I 100% the main game, just to extend the game. Because we all know Rockstar wont. Also with the recent news of RDR2 online NPCs and animals dissapearing, and Rockstar being done with RDR2 online, maybe modders can work on the online to restore that too.

That game right there is so damn depressing. I wouldn't say it traumatized me either, but it was a nice twist on the game, showing that war is so damn messed up. I honestly think it's one of those games that can be referenced in teachings about ptsd and the problems with war. It's one of those games that reels you in with your typical shooter, but that story draws you further in because it makes you feel in some way. I'd say that scene shocked me, because I didn't expect the main character to be suffering as much as he was.

God of War it wasn't too bad, because you often just have to mash a couple buttons. THe masshing can be annoying though haha. As for Heavy Rain, I feel like those types of QTEs work better, because they're not making you remember a string of buttons to press. And for the most part, they seem pretty generous with time given to respond. Most Quantic Dream games you don't really need to be too fast. With Indigo Prophecy, I did kinda hate the QTEs though. There was a lot of the simon sez stuff and I got through it, but it was annoying. As well, this style of gameplay took my eyes away from the game taking place, so the fights and the scene in the house where your stuff is flying around, you can't really sit there and experience it because you have to keep your eyes on the prompt. So yeah, I think it hurts the game more because it can take you out of it sometimes.

I have a thing where if they're speaking I don't mind, but if it's in game conversation just via text, I tend to skip a lot of it. Sadly I did that in Skyrim and many other games. I can never be bothered to read a letter every 5 minutes I find one. I try to read in RDR2 for example, but I feel it takes me out of the game when I have to stop and read something. So I rarely bother reading notes/letters, etc in games.

It was rumored to be a possible female protagonist years ago. But people have also requested there be a female protagonist for years now like you said. I think it'll happen, but this could just be a repeat of the previous rumor. I'm down with it happening, and can't wait to get more details about the story. But, part of me worries that it's all rumors and we could be seeing male leads again.

Has anyone here heard about this new 3D platformer? I'm getting vibes of an older frogger game I played. I think it was a frogger adventure game on the PS1 back in the day. Reminds me a lot of that, but also reminds me of more recent Mario games. It looks pretty fun, and is going to be on Switch, PC, Xbox and PS consoles. Does this game look fun to you? I'm really tempted to check it out. It looks like a lot of fun to me.

Yes you heard the title right, the God of War himself, Kratos is in an Xbox game. Well not really. Someone made a game on the Xbox Creators Club, which I guess is similar to what the 360's indie arcade was about. So essentially it's just some mess hobbled together with Kratos' character model. The fact this gets through these programs is funny to me. It's literally just his character model from God of war. I imagine the enemy is also from the same game. These types of games get through these creator programs all the time. The 360 indie arcade was rife with crap much like this. There were of course some gems in the mix, but they were very rare. And it seems this creators club for Xbox puts out much of the same. Though, I am curious now to see if there are any good games from this game section.

Has anyone here played this game yet? It's essentially a fighter game that showcases characters from many of Warner Bros catalog, including from the likes of Discovery, DC Comics, HBO, Turner Entertainment, and Cartoon Network. So there's potential for a ton of characters here. I know some of the Scooby Doo gang is in there, as I know Shaggy was one of the first ones announced, including Batman and many DC characters. It seems to be getting positive reviews and people seem to be enjoying it, and for it being free to play, I'm kinda tempted. But as I've said before, not too big on fighters, but with friends it may be a fun time.

Of course. It's not like gaming is all we do after all. We have lives outside of gaming. I like to hang out with friends, go to the movies, and more. I feel like I could easily live without gaming for a couple months. True, anytime you're stuck staring at a screen for hours on end, isn't good for anyone. I do a lot of gaming, and stare at screens a lot, but taking breaks, and having good lighting in your room helps. As well, using those yellow tint option on your screen, I think it's like a night light mode idk, it tints your screen a yellow, so that it's easier on your eyes. Take a lot of breaks. Sitting for a long time is not good for blood circulation. That's why I think it's like recommended to get up for a break every two hours of sitting down.
