Just got level 15 on Genshin Impact, need to get to level 16 in order to join the online portion. Which should be fun! 😄 A few of my friends are already rocking levels up in the 40s or more.

Did anyone here get the new Assassin's Creed game? I haven't played a game in the series since the one in London. I want to give this one a try because of the Viking setting. It looks like a lot of fun, but I'm hearing reviews are saying it's kind of a glitchy mess at times. I'm going to wait to get it until it goes on sale, or until the next AC game comes out. 😄 Anyway, if you did get it, what are your thoughts on it so far? Is it worth the buy? Or should I wait?

And the confusion continues. An Australian woman who ordered an Xbox Series X, received an Xbox One X by mistake. It was down to a retailer in Australia known as Telstra. And I guess others have been having similar issues. But, it may be in combination with poor customer support. Telstra told the customer to put in for the return process and re-order the console. Which means she has to wait yet again. I sure hope that company offers upgraded shipping for the mistake. I think that'd be fair. Read this story here - Gaming Bible It just makes me wonder, how many Xbox Series X and S purchasers will end up getting an Xbox One X instead? I bet ya it's going to be a worldwide issue. The console is out today as well, so people are getting them today and throughout the week and coming months.

I find that life tends to get in the way these days. I work most of the day, or watch youtube. I've been playing Genshin Impact the past couple nights though. I usually game during the night. But yeah, haven't felt interested in playing games too much. When I do game lately, it's maybe a couple hours. I got Control a couple weeks ago and haven't even installed it on my xbox yet. But I think that will be my next game.

Actually, I could see myself playing this for a while. Looks pretty too, so that's a plus. And if it controls well in the water, I'll be happy. 🙂 Sure, PC especially since I have a gaming PC and want to start using it more. 🙂 I heard of Hunter: Call of the Wild. It looked good, but I didn't hear much about it. I'll check it out though.

Is anyone going to pick this game up? It's coming out on the PS4, PS5 and PC on November 12th and it's already getting some great reviews. I don't know if this is a game for me, but maybe my mind can be changed.

What is your game room like? Do you have a couch or a recliner? My game room is part of my bedroom, but I have a love seat right now that I'd actually like to get rid of and replace with a recliner. Other than that, my game room isn't anything impressive. I have a section for my PC and a shelf with the majority of my video games. I would love to one day open up another room and make it just for video games, but I don't foresee that happening for a long time.

If Rocksteady ever decides to stop making Batman games, what other studios would you like to work on a future Batman game? We got a telltale game with Batman, but I want something more akin to the Arkham series. I could see Square Enix doing a good job, even with how bad the avengers game turned out to be. Maybe Naughty Dog too, I would welcome them making a Batman game. But of course, that would result in exclusivity to PlayStation, and I don't think Warner Bros would want to do that. What do you guys think?

Hey, I'd gladly take some free games during this pandemic. According to Eurogamer, the SAGE paper (The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencie) is suggesting that young people having to isolate because of Covid, that they should get some free stuff, including games and other stuff. I'm probably going to guess that this won't happen, but I think it'd be cool to offer some free stuff during these annoying times. What do you guys think?

I didn't know that. I guess I learned something new today. But could it still cause any damage to a PC? If it doesn't explode, could it cause a short somewhere in the PC? Just curious.

Yeah the best covers usually come from Japan or other countries. The US I think has the annoying CEOs who want to have a certain cover, so they always have a guy facing the cover with a gun. They're always just mediocre. I wish covers were like the old days of movies, where it was mostly all artistic covers.

Yeah I can't wait to play it, but have been waiting for it to go on sale before I pick it up. Well I wouldn't say it's an Epic Games exclusive considering it can also be purchased through the Uplay service from Ubisoft. The overheating issue has since been patched, so that should no longer be doing that.

Fallout 4 is a great game imo. I didn't play it all the way through, but the time I had with it was fun! It's probably pretty cheap at this point too, considering it's a 5 year old game. You could probably get it used for even cheaper. Anyway, it's a fun RPG/Action game, that I'd recommend playing. I don't remember there being city building. Wasn't it more like settlements you could build? I don't recall there being a full on city builder. But I could be wrong.

Well, with the popularity of Phasmophobia, I would go with that currently. Of course any of the Resident Evil games, Silent Hill series (SH 2 and 3 mostly). I just started playing a game called In Silence which is a co-op survival game where 5 players face off against one person who plays a monster. Think Friday the 13th. The monster on the other hand can only hear you, and you in turn have to be as quiet as possible.

So I was just suggested this game recently called In Silence. It's kind of a mix of Friday the 13th game with the movie A Quiet Place. Up to 6 people can play, with up to 5 facing off against the monster. I haven't played it yet, but I'm going to pick it up this coming payday. It's only $10 on steam as well, so you really can't go wrong. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361000/In_Silence/

When it comes to competitive gaming in general, do you ever get mad when you lose at a game you're good at? I tend to get mad if I can't win at all, and it's just a continued repeat of losses over and over. I take losing bad sometimes, especially in sports games. I will be winning one second, and then out of nowhere I fumble in Madden for example and my opponent runs back for a TD. So, do you get mad if you lose a competitive game? or do you just take it and move on? I try to do the latter, but I need to work on that myself.

What would you guys consider to be the best boxing game of all time? Of course games like Punch Out will be high up there. But for me, I think Fight Night Round 3 for the 360 and PS3 was my go to boxing game. The graphics still look solid today and the gameplay is fantastic. The games that followed it, weren't as good as Round 3 in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of the 4th game or any other sequel they released. I just remember the knock-outs being awesome and realistic for the time. And the game was a challenge at times as well. What is your favorite boxing game?

Does anyone here still use Gamefly to play games? I subbed to their service many moons ago, and loved the service, but as games are becoming more digital these days, I never saw a point in subbing to gamefly again. Do they have a good selection of games to rent from today? I haven't used them since 2009 or so. I think that's the last time I registered lol. Is it even worth subbing to Gamefly these days? Or any rental service?

Well I kind of had a feeling this was coming. With how mediocre I hear the Avengers game is, I knew it wasn't going to be a massive hit like fans were hoping. When I found out it was like Destiny and Anthem, I knew it wasn't going to survive long, and it looks like it has been a problem as Square Enix is reporting a massive loss in profit because of the game. Them trying to add in microtransactions and all that, was just so they can draw as much money as they could. Anyway, you can read about the loss in profit here - Comicbook Gaming Now, just give us a game more focussed on story (Similar to the Spide-man games) and I'll buy your game for sure.

Has anyone here ever won an esports tournament? I have never tried myself, but I think if I had the skills and money to enter one, I would at least give it a try. If you won a tournament, how much did you end up winning? What place did you land? And what game was it for?

I think that's because of the limitations in Skyrim, because it was a big game. You have to cut corners somehow, and character animations probably are the less important thing to worry about. Especially, considering how big the game is. It is relatively small compared to the bigger picture. But, I would welcome better animations for future games for sure.

This is great news. Now here's hoping that EA doesn't screw us over by adding in microtransactions and other junk into this. I could easily see EA trying to push for some online mode with microtransactions and loot boxes. Just wait and see, EA could ruin this remaster and a future game.

Yeah, for the most part they're pretty unresponsive. But sometimes you will get the dev who interacts with his/her fans and followers. And I love seeing that openness in the community.

I originally was thinking of using an old PC case, from like windows 95 days. The only issue is, I was unsure if the motherboard and other peripherals wouldn't fit right. I think if I ever decide to build a new PC and have money to throw away, I'll build in an old case. At least that way, no one would steal if it I ever get robbed lol.

There are many options when it comes to gamepads for your PC. I normally just use an Xbox One controller, or a Xbox One Power A pro controller. Works wonders. You can also buy USB controllers in the styles of many popular gamepads. There are a lot of cheap USB controllers on the market as well if you want to save some cash.
