I currently got Xbox game pass ultimate. I usually get it from Microsoft rewards every month or so. That's why I like ms rewards, because you can get some good stuff from searching and all that. I try not to pay for it, just use reward points if I can.

I read more into what they are offering with these voice options and honestly I think it's really cool. Not only will it help with accessibility for some, it could be a useful tool to interact with your game even better. Talking to NPCs and stuff, doing certain commands and so on. It sounds a lot more advanced than what I first thought.

Ooh, I don't know. Lets wait and see if Embracer does these games justice first. If anything Konami should be making more games in these series. Or outright rebooting them all again and starting from a new storyline. Then again, maybe it's a good idea to ship these IPs off to a studio that may be interested in making these games a reality again. And sooner rather than later.

It's weird, because I didn't know they were this huge, to be able to afford these studios. But they must see something in the developers they're bringing over. Maybe we're going to see some really great games from this. We can only hope. 🙂

For me it's just the jump scares side of it. I hate when games and movies do it. I like that it does kinda do jump scare good though. It's not just right in your face, it's too the side most of the time. I might play it one of these days with friends, but I don't think I'd be able to play it alone. lol

Wait a second, I just realized something. This isn't EA Sports PGA Golf game. I didn't know that 2K was making golf games, now I'm kinda curious. How the hell did I miss this? This is the third 2K PGA Tour game right? I think they took the license during 2K21. Oh wait, EA is still doing their own PGA Tour game.

Congrats on development of your first game, that's really cool! I checked out the trailer and I'm liking where it's going. How much work do you have left to do on it? Only thing I'm not into is NFTs, are they like real nfts you can buy/sell kinda thing? Apologies I don't know a whole lot about nfts, just that I'm not sure about them. The same with cryptocurrency and blockchain stuff. I've heard a lot of bad things about it to where i'm a little suspicious of them. I wish you luck, you have something cool here. 🙂

They also are just doing mobile games, as in Netflix is, so they're far from what Amazon has going on with their game studio. Amazon also can afford to take the chance on gaming, as they aren't in debt like Netflix is. As well, it gets you Luna at no additional cost it seems. Prime is looking like the better option for what it offers. I'm surprised it hasn't gone up in price. Better knock on wood to make sure that doesn't happen.

Are you sure? It seems to still be going on. I don't think Sony will lose, but it'll probably run its course before they settle out of court or the other side decides to concede or something.

Oh wow, I grew up in the wrong generation I guess. Schools teaching kids to game, damn. I was this close, like 10-20 years off from making it into something like this lol. But yeah, this is our future. More people will be making games and software, so I can see more schools around the country/world trying to implement their own schooling for video games.

I don't know if Marvel's Avengers deserves to be on this list. I mean, yeah it's not a good game, but from what I heard, it's a pretty competent game, just pulled down because of microtransactions and having to do the same stuff over and over. I think if it had more time in development, and they actually supported the game proper, I think it would have been much better. But I don't think it's nearly as bad as Superman 64, Aquaman, and Shaq Fu. Mainly because those games were broken messes that controlled like hot garbage. Idk, I shouldn't judge, because it is a bad game, just saying there's a lot more worse out there.

I haven't played a supercross game in years, or last one was probably from the early Xbox one era to late 360 era. I forget though, as I feel this series has been around forever now. Is this one any good? I haven't kept up with the games in quite a long time.

For exclusives like Call of Duty and maybe Elder Scrolls/Fallout, but I don't see every IP going that route. Xbox will make a lot of their new acquisitions into exclusives, at least the ones they probably don't see making them a ton of cash. So instead those games would be fine as exclusives. But a game like COD, to be on just one console, would be dumb. Microsoft will make a ton of money keeping those franchises open to other platforms. But, there's always that chance that Microsoft and company could change their mind and keep all of these franchises on the green brand.

I think it was more than the poor reviews. It was probably due to them not making a ton of money off if it. I don't know the sales totals, but I can't imagine it sold like God of War or Uncharted levels. But it still sold fairly good from what I remember, just not enough to warrant a sequel I guess. Maybe they realized a sequel wouldn't live up to the first one.

I've only played the first one and maybe the second or third, the rest I haven't had any time with, though I expect they're fairly decent 3d platformers. I know Spyro was around in the PS2 and I think PS3 era as well, but I haven't really touched any of the newer games. Are they even worth checking out? Or should I stick to the original games?

I signed up just the other day, figured I'd give it a go and see if I'm accepted in. Hated having to go in and sign in with an EA account and do all that. But once done it was pretty easy to sign up. Now I just need to play the waiting game and hope they select me. That's fair. The thing with live service though, is that if done right , you don't have to worry about buying stuff to be able to play. I hope that's the case with Skate, because I'd hate for it to be fueled by microtransactions. I hope with it being a live service game, that they also add free locations and modes/missions, etc.

From what I have played and heard, the single player mode just feels lifeless and boring. Also it's slow, and when you see this type of game, you want it to be a lot more fast paced, like Smash Bros is. That's why having 2 or more players involved, makes it a lot more fast paced and entertaining. And each match goes a little bit faster because of it. But 1v1 is a bore and honestly I can see people skipping that side of it completely.

The thing is, I think Amazon is going to end up doing more in gaming soon anyway. They already have Luna, and their own game studio, so there's a big chance we'll start to see Amazon getting more into the gaming scene. And I think they could make a service for streaming/playing games, kinda like what Netflix does, but this with actual games and not mobile ones. I could see Amazon achieving this success way before Netflix does.

I would like to switch this a bit. Instead of a game with a bad story but good climax, I'm going to list a couple games that had decent to great stories, but had a bad ending. One that comes to mind is GTA IV. I love GTA IV, but that ending was such a letdown. I always expected the story to end when you took out the dude you were after. I honestly don't remember much about the ending. Also, Assassin's Creed 3 had a great story, but the lamest of endings. You literally chase down the enemy at the end and it ends in a cutscene. I wanted to fight that dude at the end, not chase him down a boat that's on fire. So dumb. But yeah, these games had lame climaxes imo.

Well for some it is. For me it's a fairly decent game, but the bugs and problems it has, does hurt it some. I'd say more of a disappointment if anything, especially how it released broken and not up to what fans were expecting. Fans were hoping for a lot more than what they got. I'll admit, I didn't have as many problems as others did, but I got bored with the game fairly quick as well.

It would be awesome if I could get one console/device and be able to play every single game made. It sucks not being able to play games on other platforms, because that means I then have to either pay a ton for a new console just to experience it, or watch a lets player complete it. I would prefer to play most of those games myself, but sadly that will never happen. I just wish we had one device where you can play everything on. Whether it be through emulation, or whatever, I would love for that to happen. But, the downside to one singular device is that we may end up losing games in the process, or it could result in your favorite consoles dying out. But, I doubt this would ever happen.

Forgot to mention I'm pretty hyped for A Plague Tale: Requiem, really enjoyed the first game and I have a feeling I will enjoy the sequel as well. It's only a couple months away. Not sure if I'll be getting it day one, but it'll be on my radar for when it goes down in price.

I'm thinking that maybe it's still being worked on and that's why the animations are a bit off. With the art style, I prefer the cell-shading style too, I think the character model looks plain and boring though. I wonder what the artists character models looked like, because I'm assuming they were much different. Maybe they tried to replicate the character models from the original games. Because they would work a lot better in cell-shaed graphics. The character model they have now, kinda looks like your run of the mill 3D model that doesn't really fit the cell shaded graphics like a more cartoon/anime style look. That's what I imagine the original character models looked like. More in line with the original games characters. I imagine they were going to look more like this:

Yeah a lot of what you'll find will probably be on Steam, Epic Games, and I think Amazon's launcher as well. I think they have a game launcher. But you can also get some free stuff in certain games, that may work on console games as well. Just keep an eye out for what they offer. At the very least, you can build a small collection of PC games through Prime, so there's that. 🙂

I don't know about the last part, but I wish the US stopped loot boxes. It heavily promotes gambling and I wish they would follow some of the other countries that try to ban them from games. I don't mind microtransactions, because you at least know what you're getting, but with loot boxes, you don't get that and in turn could be wasting money.
