[Should I get the original PS3 or the newer model?]

Original is only good if you want to play older PS1/PS2 games, otherwise the newer model is the way to go. 

[Games that need a VR mode]

Dying Light, Bioshock would be dope, or even Warzone or any Call of Duty/Battlefield game 

[Who wants a Mandalorian game?]

I think it would be cool but I still feel like we need to have more of the story explored before a game can come out. For example now without the child we shall see where they go in terms of story and action. 

[Are you good at racing games?]

I wouldn’t say that I’m the best but definitely am up there on not being in the bottom half of the pack 

[The good Simpsons games]

The only one I ever played was Hit and Run and it was the perfect combo of Crazy Taxi with that vibe that let you drive around and explore on your own 

[Biggest competitor to the GTA franchise]

When GTA came out I’d say Saint Row for sure, otherwise it might be Cyberpunk now. 

[Games with the best character creators/customization]

Skyrim is a good one, same with Cyberpunk. Although my favorite may have to be Saint Row 4

[Do you listen to regular soundtracks when you game, or do you play your own music?]

99% of the time I will listen to the original soundtrack. The only times I won’t is if the game cycled between the same sounds over and over again (ex; WoW/RS). Otherwise I find the music in game to match more on what is going on 

[How much direction do you want a game to give you?]

Not much at all. A quest makes sense to give you the general location of the next step or even the exact spot, but I hate the games that give you a line on the ground to follow since there are so many other ways to get to the point

[What game would you like to be remaked?]

NASCAR Heat would be cool, or even ATV vs. MX Unleashed are the first two that come to mind. 

[What games have you 100%?]

Horizon Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy X, GT3/2, Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

[Crypto?]

I think they will take an approach like browsers do (ex; Brave) where you earn their coins while just using it and could be used/sold for other services or possibly as in game currency? Will be curious though for sure 

[What was the best era of gaming?]

I’d probably say the move from PS1->PS2 since we had 3D vs. 2D. Now all we get are better graphics of slowly the increase in VR games 

[What Games Will You Never Delete From Your Console?]

Final Fantasy X, and now Ace Combat 7.

mostly due to them being classic games I grew up playing (or playing the series of) as a kid.

[Favorite mount in any video game?]

Dragon in WoW, or even a T-Rex in ARK

[Why aren't there more games with Santa as the main character?]

Sadly I think it's too seasonal. If you bring Santa, why not make Easter Bunny, etc. as a main character (which can make the story or genre kind of fade away).

[Last played 2D games]

Command and Conquer is 2D (the retro one). 

[What unusual game mechanic do you wish you'd see more often?]

Yes.

There are a few I'd particularly wish every game would adopt that it can apply to.

1. Realistic difficulty setting - This means NPCs, enemies and the player characters should be as resilient and durable as you'd expect in real life. As in a humanoid with no special armor should be disabled by one limb shot and killed by headshots instantly.Or when there are machines or monsters, they should not be immune to damage, at least no more than what their armor would suggest.
2. Hardcore mode - The need to eat / sleep / drink in role playing games / immersive sims.
3. Soft Body Physics - Most games still use the archaic rigid body physics for most things. Despite of having computation power to simulate soft body physics. Developers are reluctant to adopt it, probably because of its relative unpredictability and higher computation intensity. But in reality nothing is completely rigid, every common construction material have a certain internal stress and flexibility, this is completely ignored by rigid  body physics as it assumes objects are completely rigid as the name suggests.  Soft body physics however takes into account the springiness of materials. Resulting in leaps and bounds more realism.  And it's not like it is brand new technology. I first saw it in tech demos in the mid 1990s and by 2000s there were games using it.
4. Changing half empty clips means loosing the ammo in it. Not many games do this, probably for the sake of player convenience. Some games offer it as an option which is the best solution.
5. Per character based reputation system as in every key NPC has it's own unique view on you

 

Wow, this actually is exactly what I was going to say almost. I LOVED Detroit: Become Human since if you kill a person in the story, they no longer are there at all. Def. makes the gameplay more realistic as unique since every story mode is special in a specific way. 

[Google shuts down internal Stadia game studio]

I think it as a great concept, but horrible ping and responsiveness pretty much killed them from the get go. Maybe once internet becomes stupidly fast and very little ping it may make a ton more sense.

[Selling old Consoles]

tbh I just keep it until it breaks, no real reason to sell since they get little profit. 

[Is There A Platform You're Just Not Interested In?]

The Wii for sure, or even more competitive games that are on Mobile. 

[How long do you wait to replay a game?]

Till probably after a year, or if I just want to go in and finish off side missions etc. 

[How many games are installed on your system currently?]

I think I have around 32 PS4 games, and only a small handful of games installed on my computer (Sims, Command and Conquer, etc.).

[Do you ever think Call of Duty will end?]

Never, it's like asking if Battlefield will go away or even World of Warcraft. Kind of like the staple games for their specific genre. 

[Should more games introduce a penalty for leaving early?]

I think it depends. Disconnect via bad ping? No. But if you intentionally leave via the client or something else, yes.
