I mean, whatever floats their boat, but I personally won't be getting any!
-
Probably Roller Coaster Tycoon, which I got for free on a trip to Camelot Theme Park in 2001.
Got me hooked for years.
-
Wacky Races would be fun in real life... I'd like to see how long it takes Dick Dastardly to actually win something!
-
Online chess... can't play most of my regular games, since my laptop broke!
-
Roller Coaster Tycoon... I loved the first two games, and liked the third (didn't have the same charm as the first two, but the Coaster Cam alone made it worth getting 🙂 ). But after that... the franchise kinda imploded 😕 .
I did try Planet Coaster, but I just couldn't get into it... it was too complicated 😞 .
-
I'd never watched any Addams Family stuff prior to this - but, I decided to check it out because everyone else was talking about it.
I have to say, I was impressed on the whole 😄 . It was sort of like Harry Potter meets Stranger Things - and as I'm a fan of both franchises, it makes sense that I would've enjoyed it 😛 .
Looking forward to season 2 now!

Only very quick games, and even then, I wasn't very good at it.
I'm just not built for speedrunning: if a game has a nice, inviting environment, then I just want to explore it: it kills me inside to run right past it!

Seems to be so, especially with all of these AI services popping up. I know people have attempted to make stories with AI, and even create game code with AI, so the future for AI is pretty bright. Only issue is how much AI will be used and if any of what is used for the AI is copyrighted or not. That's one big thing I worry about with AI is if it steals peoples content to create more content.
And yeah, I don't see AI being that good to make something like a triple A game, but maybe one day we'll get close.
Yeah, that's certainly true... although, given how intelligent AI is getting, perhaps it'll be possible to get it to understand and follow copyright law (better than any human ever could!!!)

Terraria... I didn't get into it until a year after I bought it 😛 .
Looking back, I think I struggled to get into it because, in my mind, it was just "2D Minecraft". However, when I got into it more, I discovered that it just wasn't that simple. Sure, there were obvious visual similarities, and the games had some things in common mechanically - but the gameplay was quite different (with Terraria being more combat-focused, and Minecraft being more building-focused). It's entirely possible to appreciate both for what they are 🙂 .
-
Yeah, I had a similar experience with the Harry Potter games, with the Wizard Cards. The first game had 25 of them scattered around the castle, while the second game had 101. But despite this, collecting all the cards was actually easier in the second game: if you failed to find one, then you could buy it off another student later. By contrast, the cards in the first game were permanently missable: if you failed to pick one up, you'd never get another chance, unless you restarted the game from the beginning!
I did get them all in the end, but it took me several playthroughs.
-
Probably sooner than you'd think 😛 . I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it making a basic game within the next five years (if anything, I'd consider it to be a conservative estimate!)
But, as for when it'll create a high-quality AAA-style game, of the scope of something like Skyrim... that'll probably take considerably longer!
-
Yeah, this is just embarrassing... if anything, it's impressive that they've managed to drag it out for as long as they have!
Hopefully, it'll make way for something better 😛 .
-
Yeah, this surely has to be a stunt... even if it's absolutely terrific, there's [i]surely[/i] no way it's worth the $2,000 asking price?
No matter how good it is, it still has to compete against all the games that are available for a fraction of the price...

Just to clarify, so that I understand, in the UK you would pronounce it jag-you-are right? Here in the states, yes we say jag-war.
To me, it's more like "JAG-you-er". The final syllable is completely unstressed 😛 .
(Or, to make it completely unambiguous, I'll just give you the IPA: /ˈd͡ʒæɡ.juː.ə/ 🤣)

The Sims 4, although I didn't play as my main household at all... just sorted out a couple of things that were going on with my secondary households 😛 .
-
I don't think I could trust myself to do that. I'm quite a nervous driver as it is, when I'm on the *correct* side of the road!
-
9/10 - nice and upbeat 😄 .
-
Wow, that must be quite an experience!
Has anything ever happened on those vacations that put you in any danger?
-
Well, I think they'll do whatever makes them the most money. And if they discover that they can make more from a 'freemium' model than a traditional paid or subscription model, then that's what they'll go with!
-
The Sims 4. Had a birthday and a wedding party 🙂 .
-
I use a traditional mouse. Stationary ones just sound really annoying, and I can't see when I'd ever use one.
-
When we had guinea pigs, they didn't like certain game shows (for one it was The Chase, and for another it was Tipping Point).
I'm not sure why it was... maybe there were certain noises during them that sounded like predators?
-
What's the nicest vacation you've ever been on?
-
I did make games on Game Maker when I was a teenager. None of them were very good - and getting a job in programming completely killed it as an interest for me, because programming is simply the last thing I feel like doing when I get home from work!
Swimming underwater in video games

Not necessarily claustrophobic: indeed, when I'm swimming in an ocean in Minecraft, I feel quite the opposite 😛 . But it is rather annoying... a lot of these games have controls that respond more slowly underwater; and a lot also have a breath meter, which just adds to the pressure.
I've lost count of the number of times I've drowned my poor characters 😞 !
