You got me at 'no pause' so I'll pass. I play to enjoy, not for an assignment. For any future game that wants to leave out the pause, I won't buy it.
---Whyy!!! I dont get that, why the fuck cant we not pause the game, those online features should be optional, specially on a game as big as elden ring. What if I have to take a leak or answer a phone call during a boss fight ?? I have been in that situation many times when playing souls games, I once had to evade roll for 20 minutes when playing against a boss in mortal shell because I was on a call
You can't pause the game. That is utterly ridiculous. What if you need to go to do something are you not suppose to do it?
That is bullshit.
I agree on playing games to enjoy them not an assignment.
Sad really Elden Ring looked great. I'm not paying of for a game where I can't pause. -

Dungeon themes from the original Zelda. They draw you in and mesmerize you.
I agree. I am not a huge legend of zelda fan but this is my second favorite song from a video game.
My first would be have to be the Galaga opening theme -

I don’t think people are “okay” with it... it’s just, that’s the only option to play console multiplayer. Similar to how nobody likes paying Comcast or whoever is in your area for access to the internet... but, you just do.
Agreed. I'm not sure if anyone is okay with it. Sadly that is the reality of online gaming.
They have subscriptions because they can. This is downright ridiculous, greedy, and just an all around scumbag practice in my opinion. -

Your best choice is the Quest 2. But be a bit carful and turn off your oculus after each session. Facebook is a bit taking over Oculus, and we don't know what are there intentions.
I agree about what their intentions are. I always turn my Oculus quest after each session. I'm not a fan of facebook and don't like having to make a facebook account to be able to play it. Its the best VR on the market in my opinion so I went with it and got it.

I think it was the gameboy color and pretty sure it was.
My grandma got my three cousins and me a gameboy color. It got lost over the years and so I took over my sisters. 🤣
That got me into gaming and I loved playing it. The amount of hours I played super Mario brothers.

I found out my uncle has one when I visited his out for the first time this summer.
My dad has one in his decked out garage. He was going to sell it though and not sure if he did.I have always wanted one. Unfortunately I don't have the money or the space to do that right now.

There are so many great games for Nintendo switch that I want one. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a game I would solely get a switch for. The last Nintendo console I bought is a Wii.

There are some really nice custom designs out there for every console but I just couldn't do it to one of my own. I just like how they look originally so I don't really want to ruin that by trying to painting the shells or by bombarding it with a huge number of random sticks.
I agree. There are some really nice custom designs out there but I could not do my own either.
While I am decent at drawing I am not skilled enough to do a design on a console. I would just ruin it.
I have put stickers on consoles though.

As someone who grew up with the PS2 (27 y.o. now) but loves Atari to death, I can say this: I find a lot of charm in its simplicity, and love playing arcade games for high scores.
Also, the homebrews. A lot of amazing homebrews, and more coming out every year.
There is charm in the simplicity of Atari games. I love playing the atari 2600. My second favorite console behind C64. Right now however I have been playing atari flashback.

I keep my boxes because I'm a little bit of a hoarder. I had all my boxes for years. I got tired of keeping them though eventually and just threw them out.
I am terrible at keeping my manuals though. -

The ...For Dummies series is definitely guilty of this. I've tried a couple of their books in the past, and they were so damn hard to use and understand, that I just threw them in a box and forgot about them. I would much rather take a class or find a private tutor. At least there I would have an actual chance of learning something.
The only good dummies book that was actually useful and good was drawing for dummies.
Any other book that I have tried in the dummies series was bad and had terrible explanations.

I can't stand country music.
I tolerated country music until I start spending more time with my dads side of the family and all they play is country music. Then it got super-tiresome. So I went form tolerating the genre to no longer being able to stand it.
The sounds never seem to change. I find it boring, uninteresting repetitive and dry. -
I want to try more games out and not stick to ones I already like to play.

To be a proficient eSports player, the best analogy I can think of is that you would have to have multiple Ph.D's in the game you're wanting to compete in. That's not something that can be easily accomplished. You would have to know every single tiny little thing about the game in question, and master every single one of those tiny little things. Nothing could be overlooked or taken for granted. Gaming in eSports competitions is the top level any gamer could achieve. I personally don't have the drive or dedication to reach that level. Not to mention that the games are largely multiplayer, typically through a LAN. But it's still online gaming, which is something I flat out do not enjoy.
That is a great analogy. It takes time and dedicate to become an e-sports player.
Its is not enough to simply play the game you need to study all of the nuances of the game.

Why is this in the E-Sports section?

I love retro gaming.
I prefer old game consoles like Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64.
There is simplicity to them.
Oregon trail on C64, Donkey kong and Super Mario world on super Nintendo - Just to name a few. -

I like to unwind with a Variety puzzle book if it’s summertime or my Jigsaw puzzle in the wintertime. Sitting with my furbabies, petting them is quite relaxing & if I’ve been gone all day, they would have missed me so it’s a win-win situation.
Have you ever done sudoku?
--I like to unwind by listening to classical music or reading.

There are some gamers who can't even play without cheating. It's in fact the only way they know how to play.
Wow! That defeats the whole purpose of playing the game in the first place.

True, but you have to consider billions of people use Facebook, even if many hate it, which I agree, it should receive a ton of hate, it doesn't change the fact that their user base is massive. And I imagine facebook could easily navigate their userbase to a console. Simply sign in with your facebook email and password and you're ready to game. That's a very real possibility.
They do have a massive user base. You have to have a facebook accoun tto play the oculus quest. You have to sign into your facebook on the app to be able to get on the occulus quest. If millions of people buy their Oculus quest2 VR then there is no doubt that people buy a console from then if it a good one.

Technically, yes I have. EA always have a trial for the upcoming FIFA on their EA Access subscription service. It lets you play Ultimate Team for about 10 hours so you can use it to get a bit of a head start. So I always play the trial and then buy the game later when it comes out.
I do the same thing.
I love the head start I get and feel more prepared when I play the game when it comes out.QuoteYeah, cheating is a thing of the weakling, I'll play only with my real strength. When I can't over power the other opponent due to how powerful he or she is, then, their is nothing much to do but agree such opposite number is stronger.
I can't believe cheating is a thing at all with gaming. Why play the game if you are just going to cheat. It makes no sense.

I saw them in person! I can't remember where I was at but my grandparents took me. I remember wanting to twirl a basketball on my finger but never got the hang of that skill. I like whistling their theme song though because that's something I can do!
I played basketball for years as a kid but never was able to twirl the basketball on my finger either.
Their theme song is super catchy.

I had seen them a few times as a kid. I love the way they play and they are so fun to watch. -

We all have things that freaks us out. There are some gamers who can't stand anything horror, so they try as much as possible to stay away from it.
That is true. Everyone has something that freaks them out.

I mean, you could just sign up for a swimming class - they're pretty affordable and it only takes a couple of weeks to a month at most before you get swimming down. Just make sure to know how much endurance you actually have as I've seen some people swim way out to sea and have no energy to swim back and have to be rescued.
You could sign up for swimming classes. It's a great skill to have.
I have done that with lakes before paddle-boarding. I have gotten back eventually.

I had always dreamed of surfing. However I am deathly afraid of waves. I did muster up the courage and tried it a couple of years ago for an hour. I did make it all the way standing back to shore. After that I was happy I did it and have not been interested in trying again.

My step mother had one laying around not used and she allowed me to take it.
It's quite fun and enjoying it.
