Hmmm...I agree with most of the points @Yaramaki and @Withywarlock made. It needs to remain true to its core which is the classroom mini-games and timetable management. That being said, this is a tough one because it's such a niche kind of game - there's not much you can do with a school bully's life unless Rockstar planned to go down a dark path with the Bully suffering from a fractured home, maybe parents are abusive or just fighting all the time or a drug abuse problem. But knowing modern Rockstar, they probably wouldn't do that.

A big city would be cool where you play as a teenager or multiple teenagers, if they would use multiple characters i'd figure include multiple schools aswell. Include a job system like mowing somebody their lawn or delivering papers by bike would be a most to make money and past time acitvities as yeah what do teenager do these days to pass the time, i've got no idea lol, do they still hang out or is it online only.
It would probably be better to set it into 70 ies or 80 ies, so you don't have to deal with phones and all that jazz. Like i don't know i'm just making this up as i'm writing this post becoming the most populair person at a school as that is what the first bully was about and challenge rival schools for their turf in the city man there are so many things you can do with bully that could be great to do.
 

@Justin11 i don't know why but this is your fault look at what you made me buy, found this turd on sale for 22 euros figured i'd take it home with me 😂

I selected all because they all have the same fundamental problem, their all greed over everything else.  I agree with @Heatman, it's borderline pointless even discussing them anymore.  We all know that their same games every year, we all know that loaded with bullshit monetisation and we all know the fanbase will buy them anyway.  To hell with them.

Call of Duty is the last game that I played on my mobile. I play on mobile when I am on a the train to somewhere. 

Halo infinite shows the downsides of live service that if you can't provide the metaphorical circus show with impactful bountiful content drops or the speed at which new acts are added It will then suffer

It be stupid to release a limited editon console when it's damn near impossible for people to just get a regulair version at normal retail price. Because you know these limited editions would most likely be scooped up like crazy by scalpers and in turn being offered on the secondary market for twice the price and that would anger/dissapoint people even more who really just want to have a ps5.

Unfortunately I'm not seeing any word of it working on the PS4. This looks to just be for the PS5. But I do hope they make it useable for the PS4 as well, considering I believe the PS4 controllers work on PS5. And I can't imagine it being hard to make it work with PS4 as well. 

I'm sure it will eventually. Even looking at stuff not related to video games from when I was in high school, like fashion, looks dated by today's standards.

Well everything becomes "Retro" at some point. Hell, I'd say the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube are retro consoles at this point. Back then the graphics were fantastic. Graphics back then don't come close to the graphics we have today. But down the road, graphics will continue to get better and better. But, we're going to get to a point where graphics can't get better, or they will stay at a constant pace. 
 

Well that was fucking hard...took me about 7 hours, and the last two were spent on that fuel level and King K Rool. Im very proud actually, first time I actually finished a Donkey Kong Country Game, the last time I attempted to finish one was like 10 years ago and I only got as far as the factory levels.

It might be able to work like that in shooting games but I think that it's something that's going to have to deal with a serious challenge if there would be something sort of hand combat. Something like the combat system in MK Games. It's going to be very difficult to use voice control. 

Remember folks, the question isn't just "games with the most disturbing atmospheres," it's "what makes them so unsettling?" Let's answer that too rather than just listing games.
I disagree, I don't see how it's disturbing, but I'm more than happy for you to enlighten me. The only time I've been disturbed by a GTA game was in San Andreas when there were empty areas. The graves in particular, I was expecting ghosts and ghouls to leap out. I don't think they're vulnerable to TEK-9s though...
Yes.
How so? I can't think of many parts of the Mass Effect games that have 'disturbing' environments. The only time I was spooked by the game was during the first level where the Shepard's fighting husks, a weak but terrifying enemy in the lore.

When I was a wee lad I actually played the heck out of Battlefront Classic. It was one of my favorite games, nowadays I play much more than just Battlefront but recently I bought it again. I've played the modern but there's just a lack of chaos. Part of the fun is the pure havoc that comes with the AI, which always spams as many grenades as possible. The game actually felt like a war game as you had to strategize in order to get anywhere. There were always multiple fronts in a map that needed to be broken thought which added a lot of choice into the mix. The modern games are less "large scale battles" and more personal duels which ruined the havoc, trench-like warfare that added so much to the depth to the game. I also think the classic maps are better, but keep in mind I'm biased. The classic maps always had a sense of scale, while keeping the points of interest close together to add to a battle-like astrosphere where you will always end up in a front of a battle. All 16 original maps are also really well-designed, as they all feel, look, and play differently from each other. For example, the Cloud City map have multiple hallways that lead into each other creating a city skyline that can effect the yard below viva above-ground support. As with Hoth, there are tunnels that lead into each other, however you also have massive AT-ATs and multiple trenches that make the map less of hallway skirmishes  and more into a full frontal assault or a stealth mission. The final thing I want to say, is that the trooper based gameplay is more fun that playing as Darth Vader because you can't just run down everyone and survive. You actually have to use cation to gun down fifteen guys, instead of just winging it.

I wish they would bring back Warhawk for the PS4/PS5. Such a good online only game that was tons of fun when having maps with 60+ people flying, driving tanks, or running around in.

oh, thanks for the reminder @Withywarlock, I'll keep that in mind... I usually google stuff 99% of the time, but I sort of wanted a personal context this time... hehe. 😅
also, looks like this kind of thing would float my boat, I'll check it out... 😉
 
LOL, happy tree friends, a part of my younger years. 🤣🤩 my favorite character is the moose and the PTSD SGT. somehow.... 😅

Reminds me somewhat of "Dumb ways to die" too now that you mentioned it.
Google it for more context and/or if you want to play the games based on the viral original video. 😋
 

Thanks for sharing this one, Techno. This'll be something else for my partner and I to collectively cack our khakis to, hopefully with laughter rather than terror.
Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared is a comedy horror series on YouTube. It's meant to be like children's television shows with puppets, but it's juxtaposed by the horror elements such as disturbing imagery, discordant music and creepy writing.
While I do appreciate you asking for context, I recommend you use Google first to find things out and then make a post. This isn't a telling off, just advice for all users so we don't clog up the pages. ^^

Please stay on topic, folks. The question is "how old to start gaming?" I welcome new threads being made on other subjects, or them being taken to private messages, but we're not derailing this.

Reminds me of Happy Tree Friends... google at your own risk, lol.

I have seen quite a good number of them but for the most recent I watched.
The wolf of wall Street (2012) which is about 3 hours long and the heist of the century (2020)-Spanish were all based on true events and really epic movies to watch.

Guys I just found this on the British Comedy Channel Guide.

It's nearly here!

Please stay on topic, folks. The question is "how old to start gaming?" I welcome new threads being made on other subjects, or them being taken to private messages, but we're not derailing this.

Was actually going to post the same to stay ontopic but @Withywarlock beat me to it.
This thread has run it's course i guess, unless somebody who is a parent with kids old enough to play videogames here wants to chim in and share their own experiences? I'd love to hear them if you are willing to post them as maybe we could learn a thing or two along the way.

Denuvo and other DRM has been known to cause performance issues such as frame-rate drops and loading time problems, however negligable. These issues are mostly experienced on PC especially with older hardware, and while I give more credit to the Switch than others regarding its hardware capabilities, it still needs all the resources it can get. It doesn't need to be bogged down further by DRM.
It offers no benefit to the customer and at worst it means the pirates get the better experience because the game's performance isn't compromised.
It's highly unlikely that it will: see this exhaustive list of cracked games from four years ago. There's been a lot more games with Denuvo since, and a lot more cracks since then. The hardest games to break open are those with additional DRM, such as VM Protect & Uplay, which Ubisoft employs... meaning Denuvo on its own doesn't work. For physical games, I'm not so sure, but I imagine those who want in will find a way in and then share it online.
Regarding carts being stolen I'd love it if Denuvo had a way of returning carts to their rightful owners. It's a shame it doesn't, and this is Nintendo's first step to harming the idea of swapping games or selling them used.
I get the appeal of cracking down on emulators for the current console, I find the practice abhorrent when Switches are available, affordable for what they are, and there's plenty of copies of games new and used. The developers and publishers can still make money on them, unlike say a Nintendo 64. Shigeru Miyamoto isn't getting a penny for a copy of Super Mario 64 sold on eBay, but he could for Super Mario Odyssey bought new from GAME (well, that's not entirely how it works but the sentiment is the same.)
I wish I had your optimism. Very rarely is DRM removed for the legitimate purchasers once it's demonstrated the anti-piracy measures to have failed, meaning we can have goodbye to many games that end their publishing agreements and licenses.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
I agree with you entirely but I want to highlight this particular line. Discourse on piracy, especially from developers and publishers, is rarely truthful let alone useful. According to sexual harrassment apologist and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemont, PC has a 93-95% piracy rate... which means their DRM is effective 5-7% of the time.
Whatever the real figures are (which they can't know anyway), they haven't really lost a sale because it's unlikely that many pirates are the 'ethical' kind who use it as a demo first.
I hope Nintendo have been paying attention but again I have not one iota of faith.
