This is funny stuff. So those who've been caught doing cheats in Fall Guys are being put together with other cheaters. Unfortunetly the cheater island had to be taken down, as it was getting full. So, they just banned the users instead. Which, maybe should have happened in the first place. Either way, I'm glad they toyed with the cheaters for a bit at least.

It's the inevitable future of gaming. As well, studios can have as many copies of a game as they want with digital. The good thing is, that there are still a fair amount of home grown game stores still around, many of them selling retro, which still has a place. Eventually consoles will go full on digital, or they will find another form of media that is smaller and cheaper to produce. I think some may go the route of carts like the Switch.

I wouldn't say trailers sell me on games unless they show me gameplay. Anything cinematic doesn't paint a picture of what I'm getting. Sure it may be story based, but I'd rather see a trailer with gameplay over a cinematic one. Dead Island comes to mind, as they did the cinematic trailer and got people interested in it. But it was far from what the trailer showed. I thought it was going to be this depressing story about loss, but nope, we got an ok zombie survival game. But the story was not good at all. It probably wasn't even needed for what the game was. And the story seemed more comical than dramatic. But yeah, never trust a cinematic trailer, as that will not give you any details about the game itself.

I have not lost a friend because of a game, but years ago I ended up straining a friendship. So this is kind of dumb lol. But my friend and I were playing GTA IV Online. We thought it would be funny to troll people, by bringing them all the way out to the ocean saying we found a glitch. When we did, we'd inform them to jump off the boat and they did. We'd of course jump off to make it look good and quickly get back on and drive away. We pissed a lot of people off doing this. Though I think we got the idea from others who did it, the prank started to get noticed and people stopped falling for it. Anyway, my friend and I tried to do it to each other, and for some reason, we got into an argument about it and stopped talking for a couple days. No joke. It's one of the dumbest things ever looking back at it. But we clearly were dumb teens back then, because looking back it was so juvenile and lame. lol Ever lose a friend because of a game?

We all know it's coming. With each new console, we see past games remastered with upgraded graphics. We already know Grand Theft Auto V is coming, and I'm sure we're going to see Skyrim get remastered yet again lol. But what other games do you see getting yet another remaster treatment? Think Sony will do The Last of Us 1 remastered? Hell, they'll probably re-release TLOU2 remastered.

Probably old news at this point, but I'm always happy to hear Gamestop struggling. According to many news outlets, Gamestop is going to be closing 400 stores. I don't know if you guys like gamestop or not, but I personally never cared for them. They treat their employees like crap it seems, and they have really crap customer service.

I don't think it's Crystal Dynamics fault though. If Crystal Dynamics had a choice, I bet they would have done a lot different. This is just Square Enix wanting to make extra cash through micro-transactions. I was hoping this game was going to be on the level of The Batman Arkham Series, or the Spider-Man game. But not some Destiny rip-op.

I think one that comes to mind is Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on the Xbox One. It's a really good action/psychological horror game, with the theme being mental illness. I liked A Plague Tale as well. It was actually a pretty decent game.

I currently game on my PC, which has a 21 inch monitor I think. And I have a 32 inch 1080p HDTV in my room which I play most of the time on. We have a 42 inch tv in the living room, but we usually use this for watching tv and stuff. What size tv do you have for gaming? I would love to buy a 65 inch 4K TV. That would be wonderful! 😄

I'm no pro gamer by any means, but I think it would be awesome to start a team and actually get into tournaments and events. Who knows, maybe we have a chance depending on the game. I think being eports gamer alone is way too anxiety educing. I'd rather play along with a team, at least this way it takes a bit of the pressure off. Well, unless I'm like the last person alive. Anyway, would you ever start your own esports team? Even if your team aren't pro gamers? I think it'd be fun either way.

Call of Duty has been a yearly released game since COD 4 I believe. And ever since the franchise continues to grow. You can argue it's lost some popularity, but it seems with each new release more people jump into it. There were times where I absolutely hated Call of Duty, but now, I can't get enough of Modern Warfare and am looking forward to Black Ops Cold War. It feels like things are going back to the way it used to be, and it's kind of exciting. Anyway, do you think COD will ever end? Right now, there are three studios working on COD, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward work on their own games, while Ravensoft in the past did their own games (Advanced Warfare) and have been helping Infinity Ward and Treyarch to make their games lately.

Pretty much this. I'm not one to go crazy for graphics anymore. Games on a standard 1080p tv look good enough to me, so a 4K TV imo, isn't always needed. And having the upgraded graphic and visuals isn't always needed, at least imo. It's a budget console, that's the key here. It will play the games, it just won't be as pretty as it is on the Series X. But I'm cool with that.

I haven't had the chance to play VR much. I want to get myself an occulus rift or even a vive. I think in order for VR to truly take over, they need to find a way to price it for pretty cheap. Especially if future consoles are made with the focus of VR.

Anyone here interested in this? It's a sequel to the Man of Medan game. Well, not a sequel, but another story in this universe. Check the trailer, and a vid with some gameplay below. 🙂 Game comes out October 30th, right in time for Halloween.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time comes out October 2nd 2020. I think the last crash game was the Crash: Mind over Mutant. I'm counting the traditional style platformer, not the nitro cart games or other games using Crash in the game. Anyway, Crash Bandicoot is back, and It's about time. 😄 Who here is going to buy this one? I think I might. buy it, or wait a while to see the reviews on it.

Source - https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-series-s-likely-wont-be-able-to-run-xbox-one-x-content-its-claimed/ I hope this is not true. But according to this article, the Xbox Series S might not be able to play some content, including some Xbox One X enhanced content. They also state that some Xbox One and 360 games may have problems playing. The article also states, that if you can play these games on the Series S, it won't be the upgraded versions with 4K visuals. I'm hoping this isn't true, as I am tempted to buy the Series S. But I suppose at that price, they had to do some cuts.

Amazon Prime has added some new free games you Amazon Prime subscribers can get.

Well it looks like Ninja is back on Twitch. He last left Twitch for a big payday to work on Mixer, but Mixer recently went under and Microsoft joined forces with Facebook and their Facebook games platform. Or soon will be. Anyway, what do you think of Ninja being back on Twitch? I'm not a fan of him though, so I don't mind what the guy does, but I figure there might be some fans of him here.

I've been playing the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 on my Xbox One and been playing Fall Guys on PC. THPS 1+2 is a total blast, it brings me back to my childhood every time I play it. I feel like I never forgot the controls either, it's so smooth. And Fall Guys is tough as usual.

Ubisoft does it for like every single game they make it seems lol. Yes exactly this. If it revolves around a side mission, I have no problem with it. But, if it's mainly just "shoot 100 pigeons across the whole map" (GTA IV). then it gets annoying.

I can see chess and somewhat fishing as well. I disagree somewhat about the wrestling part. I'd just call it sports entertainment, as that's essentially what it is. Because like The Blackangel said, it takes a lot to be a pro wrestler. It's a lot easier to be a gamer than a wrestler. The constant workouts they have to do, the travel, the constant abuse to their bodies falling on a thin mat almost daily. I know I would never be able to handle that type of job. I would die the first time I jump into a ring lol. But yeah, I'd say sports entertainment, because I think that was Vince McMahon's intention when he calls it exactly that.

Oh cool. I remember when this came out on the 360, and then the game disappeared from the marketplace at some point, so I never got to purchase it. I don't think you can purchase it still. 😞I'm glad it's coming out for all consoles though. I thought it was just the Switch by the trailer. But it's confirmed to be coming out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia (Ew gross).

Do you guys know of any good party games similar to the Jackbox series? I'd like to get some party games for when I hang out with fam and friends as well as my work buddies. Do you guys have any suggestions? I was thinking we could do Uno, which is always a fun time, but I'd like to hear other suggestions as well. 🙂

I subbed to gamepass ultimate quite a few times. I find that I am able to play many more games this way, especially ones I wanted to try, but wasn't willing to fork out any money. I really think gamepass is the future of gaming. I think we're going to see more services similar come out, especially from Sony and Nintendo. I can see them trying their hand at a game pass like service. Anyway, are you subbed to gamepass?

Has anyone here purchased the TurboGrafx-16 Mini that came out last year? It's like those mini consoles like the NES/SNES classics. It looks pretty cool, but I never had a TurboGrafx anything or played any of the games, so I am not familiar with the games. Amazon is selling it for $99.99, so it's a bit pricey. But, it boasts up to 57 games in total. I'm guessing that's the amount of games that originally came out for the console?
