[The Sims - Clone games/games like it]

There was a game called Paralives that was in development that looked pretty neat, but I'm not sure if it ever went anywhere. It seemed to have a lot of people interested in it.

I have the sims 4 on my PC that I play semi-often, it’s definitely a game that I don’t think will ever get old or replaced easily due to its unique play style. 

I think that is why it has lasted for so long. There's not really a game that can match its play style, and for good reason. I think that developing The Sims is a massive undertaking due to the amount of interactions involved in the game.

[Stellar Warfare - RTS Space Game]

I've never been a huge fan of RTS games. I feel like they are games where you need a lot of speed to be able to compete. I just don't have that. ^^

[Fortnite in 2021]

I've always viewed Fortnite as more of a game for kids. There's nothing wrong with that, but I feel like it appeals more to younger audiences somewhat at the expense of attracting older players.

[Call of Duty's numbers going down?]

I feel like a lot of my friends who play COD complain that they come out with basically the same game every year just as a cash grab. I know that's literally the point of making games for the developers and publishers, but they do not seem to be adding very many new features either.

[Realistic surgeon/doctor games]

I've never seen a super realistic game involving surgery. I kind of think it might be kind of strange to play such a game, but then again, medical things seem kind of scary to me. ^^

[Edutainment games that are actually fun]

I remember playing a Carmen San Diego game a long time ago that was educational and really fun. ^^

[Challenge]

Do you like to be challenged by games, or do you like it when games make it easier for you to beat them?

I would prefer to be challenged by games so that they are playable for a longer time.

[The future]

Do you think that in the future (over the next 10 years or so), PC gaming will grow or decline? Why do you think so?

I stongly prefer PC gaming, but unfortunately, I think that the price of some parts like graphics cards will cause more people to go for consoles.

[Gaming gear]

How much "gaming" gear do you own? For example, do you have a "gamer" desk, mousepad, headset, or anything like that?

I have an RGB mousepad, keyboard, mouse, and headset.

[Top 10 Hardest Video Games of the 90's]

It seems like games in general were harder back then. Today, a lot of games tell you exactly what to do to beat them. It seems like games from the older times just made you figure it out for yourself!

[Do you prefer to download PC Games off the internet or buy the DVD?]

I always seem to lose or damage DVDs, so I think digital is the way to go. All of the games I have now are digital copies. I haven't really bought DVDs for games for a long, long time, and I don't plan to do so!

[Could games make one an introvert?]

I don't really think that video games can cause people to become introverted. It seems more likely that people who are introverted would choose to play games rather than do other things that might involve more socializing.

[Oldest console you own?]

The oldest one I've ever owned is PS2. I was pretty young when we had that. It had some fun games, though. I don't really play consoles much anymore.

[If you fail to complete a task many, many times in a game, do you want the game to offer you to skip it?]

I feel like being able to skip parts that you fail repeatedly would be good for casual players, but some hardcore players may be annoyed because they would go through the trouble to beat it. Then again, the hardcore players would be able to say that they beat it and get any achievements for having done so. I guess it doesn't really matter in the end.

[Sports Games: Yay or Nay?]

I'm not a fan of sports at all. That being said, I still think that sports games are kind of repetitive. It also seems excessive that they come out every year for each sport. Do they add a lot of new features to make it worthwhile?

[The Sims - Does anyone still play?]

I play Sims pretty often. I usually play The Sims 4 nowadays, but out of all of them, I probably played The Sims 3 the most. I think The Sims 4 has the best graphics, but The Sims 3 probably has better gameplay.

[Sports played when younger?]

I liked playing tennis. It didn't require as much athletic ability as some other sports. ^^ I don't normally like sports.

[StormyFire is here! ^^]

Hey! ^^

 

I found this forum on another site and thought it looked neat. Looking forward to meeting all of you!
