So I a few months ago found out that TikTok has finally released their live stream program called TikTok Studio and it enables streamers to go live from their PC to TikTok so they are able to bring video game streams to TikTok. From what I understand it is a good way of getting established and people have had success streaming on TikTok playing their favorite video games.

Unfortunately, due to me getting banned on my account where I had 3000 followers with no given reason at all and an 'issue' with my appeal button showing, I lost my access to be able to stream live on TikTok and I am slowly working my way back up there.

Has anyone here used TikTok studio to live stream video game content to TikTok? How have you found it?

I didn't even know you could play this over VR. This would probably be entertaining...

Well, I just bought the game... but it's taking 5 hours to download. Looks like I'm not gonna get to play it tonight!
I'll let you guys know what I think of the game once I get to play it 🙂 . 

My parents would have never gotten me a Gameboy growing up. But we ended up getting one anyway, when my sister decided to take one she found in a public bathroom many years ago. I still have that very Gameboy sitting in a drawer somewhere lol. I remember vividly how often that thing needed new batteries. I didn't play it much growing up because of that reason. Other issue was that screen for sure. If they had backlit display, it would have been so much better. 

I think they're letting just about anything go up live. I've seen people streaming movies, shows, others live streams even. I streamers from all over the place doing different things. I think tiktok will eventually ban certain content. It feels like the wild west right now. 

Big business is going to have great quarters after all these layoffs. Just cutting fat to make the numbers look amazing later. I feel sorry for all the people getting cut. That's how business works. Why pay Betsy to do it when Bill can do his job and Betsy's job?

It can get repetitive if you play by yourself all the time with random teams. With friends, the fun just never ends.

I think Jimmy Hopkins from Bully is the most changed. I mean, look at how he comes in, and then how it ends. He comes in as a lone wolf and then kind of becomes a popular person among the students. I feel he changed a lot over the game. And as well, he's probably the most progressive since he is open to any relationship in the game. I mean if you want to, you could kiss just about anyone in the game if I remember correctly. 
Can't forget about Arthur Morgan from RDR2 as well. I feel like he came from a ruthless lawman to being someone respected and forgiven in a way. I feel like he broke from bad to good. 

I agree but with game developers nowadays, they love taking away features so I wouldn't get my hopes up about split-screen multiplayer making a comeback.

It just seems like a weird concept to me... when people think of TikTok, they think of short-form content, so why would you go there to look for livestreams? 
 
Pretty much the only advantage of using TikTok is that it has a large built-in audience.

I've also wanted a PS5 but the supplies are still too low and I'm not buying from scalpers...

PS4. It will stay that way till the prices of ps5 goes down. Or go rob a bank. If it's successful, I will buy everyone here a console. 

I've never really done a speed run. I attempted to with TLOU and TLOU 2 my second time around playing them. My speed run is more story oriented, but I still do stop and stare at stuff. How can you not? For me it's more of a quick play and not really a speed run. I actually do like quick plays at times to focus on story. I think when I was a kid I did speed runs with Nintendo games because I played the hell out of them beating the games over and over. And many of those games you couldn't save progress, so either finish or start new. 

Maybe. I had a second-hand Dreamcast as a child, but after Sega pulled out of that business, I just went back to PC gaming and never looked back.
If there was a true successor to the Dreamcast, then I may well have got it and stuck with console gaming!

With the way most companies are pushing digital over physical now it definitely seems like that is what we will see happen. It may not happen for quite a few years yet but over that time, companies will more than likely push digital out more and more so that people are ready for when that happens. 

I never owned one myself, but my sister had one and I would play with my nephew when I would babysit him. I liked it for its workout possibilities, but for gaming otherwise, I didn't feel like it did a whole lot for us. Sure there was some good games that utilized the kinect voice options, but I felt that's all it had going for it. Also I kinda wanted to mess around with one on PC to see if I can do anything fun with it. I hear that's where it shined the most. 

I wonder how you could make it special these days, isn't there a phone game that was similar that was very popular? These days I would find it hard to believe people wouldn't optimize the hell out of cheating too.
Something like a 1v100 but Family Feud could be interesting because its all random surveys.

Snap mode, tv integration and personal controller setting via kinect. As a family man who game in the living room it's cool that switching from tv to game and when my wife decides to play a game( she's a lefty ) the switch is seamless.

I havent played any 343 halos because no xbox, but hearing they canceled split screen coop after 5 years still feels like a shot through the heart, couch co-op makes some of my fondest memories from bungie era

The real question is if you are having fun or not. Sure competition is fun in itself, but in the end video games are for fun and entertainment. If you can be competitive, be good at it, AND have fun then more power to you. But none of it matters if you aren't having fun.

The problem with Sega around that time is that they kept wanting to make new consoles. The Sega Saturn came out with little fanfare and they decided to move on to the Dreamcast soon after. And I'm pretty sure there was a point where Sega was in talks about making yet another console after the Dreamcast before they inevitably decided it was time to call it quits on making consoles. 
I may be wrong on that, but I swear that's what Sega did. They messed up by making too many new consoles too soon. 

It's sad not seeing consoles or other devices like that again. But I guess the main thing about it was that it wasn't adult friendly if that makes sense. I think it's because it looks too kid friendly, or childish, that adults didn't have any interest in it back then, while us kids loved the hell out of those translucent consoles. 
I think it's the aesthetic of it, in that adults aren't interested in having a colorful console sitting next to their VHS player back in the day, or looking like some giant popsicle on ones entertainment center. 
Now days I think nostalgia has set in, and people are taking interest in these old style designs again. I wonder if one day we'll see a resurgence of translucent cases/devices. 

I think this would be interesting but idk if it would really sell. To me, Xbox is about putting games on everything, so people have accessibility to games. I think a handheld doesn't necessarily create accessibility because you have to buy the device and then Gamepass.
I think it's way more likely (and something they should be focusing on) is improving xcloud. There's rumors of a possible Gamepass dongle to plug into your TV. Mix that with the ability of Gamepass on a phone/tablet, then why have a portable?

A lot of ppl are expecting a lot out of xbox this year. I feel like they wont have much this year either tbh. I feel like next year is when they will show out. If they dont have nothing to show for all the companies they bought next year then i think its a done deal for xbox as far as gaming goes.

As much as I hate to admit it, I see things going strictly digital in the not too distant future. Possibly within the PS6 era, whenever that comes. Nintendo would be the only one I could see being a holdout. It would land a hell of a blow on profits for companies. Games are all on Blu-ray discs now, which Sony owns the patent to. So if say Xbox went to strictly digital, and stopped using Blu-ray discs, Sony would lose a shitload of money. I hope this doesn't happen any time soon, but I'm absolutely 100% positive it will eventually.
