  1. I have still seen good covers out there but aren't many. Most people or those that go and buy the game aren't fussed about what the covers look like, anyway as long as they got the game that they want to play they just put the box away to collect dust and never see it again. Keep in mind that nowadays everything is digital and you won't see any covers from steam or PS4 marketplace.

    I think they keep it low cost cuttings, trying to keep it low cost by not putting to much work into the design. I see just a screenshot of the game that's just posted on the cover of the box. 

     

  2. I have had experience in the past, one time I was very young at an age of 10 or 11 years old and this PC was an old desktop from 1994, anyway, I see a switch on the back of the power block and I clicked it. You guys can guess what happened after that 😛

    That was my big major bang. Other time power blocks that I had over the years (2 years since the last) that it fails and had to replace them. Most power blocks nowadays have a safety system in them.  

     

     

         

  3. 99% of the time, Nope. I get mad at cheaters who are playing the game using wallhack or just general cheating. They are mostly first-person shooting games. But the games that I do are mostly simulators. I do get mad a little if something doesn't go right while in a flight or the sim/game crashes LOL

    But I tend to do CSGO or old BF2 games that are very much competitive game. 

  4. Cases can be very important, not just the look and the design but how the airflow is and what's available inside the case regards the drive slots. My old case that I still got was a full ATX case with a slide clear panel on the side. Cooler master storm trooper. Great case and it was able to take 8 drive slots and it was big to add three GPUs. However it was old outdated style and it was far to big. 

     

    Now, this is the case that I have  🙂

  5. When my PC gets to be turned on each day the first tab that I open is twitch. So I stream and occasionally lurk in other people streams and also mod there channels. I stream around 3 to 4 hours a day, nothing to great with the views though but I do it for the fun of it. Before that I was doing YouTube videos but that was just hard work and getting nowhere. 

  6. Might happen to you that has for me that your genre can chnage as you get older. Has for me anyway. USed to do allot of shooting based games and Rping games with GTA IV to GTA V and doing fiveM. Nowadays I'm so into simulator games 🙂  Yep I like to fly apon flying now in P3d and FSX. 

  7. I only do it when I have collected enough to move up XP as free as I can. I do see an point of doing it but people pay allot of money to grow higher and higher.  I'm level 40 and happy to be at that rank. Even that I do see people on my list always on going.  

  8. I prefer headphones over speakers. You can just hear so much more detail with headphones. With speakers you would have to turn the volume up really high to hear the same detail, but then may you disturb other people in your house or even neighbours. I do tend to use speakers when I am expecting interruptions from others, since its annoying putting the headphones on and off to talk to people.

  9. PC gaming is now more popular than it has ever been in the past. However, PC gaming is dominated by online gaming. The kinds of PC games that become blockbusters are online games, e.g. PUBG, WOW, CrossFire, Dungeon Fighter, LOL, etc. And online games such as these aren't known for having AAA production values. AAA gaming is a niche within the wider PC gaming industry.

  10. Here is the tech, Over the years all I did was added  500GB SSD another 1TB and a new power slab. And back then it would cost allot not like now. Yet still can run just about anything on high, other then pubG as my GPU Vram is max to 2GB and that most cards now are more then 2GB

  11. I was looking forward to playing this game on ps4, I hated waiting for it because it came out one year earlier on xbox one. Whatever, this amazing game didn't let me down. It's worth my wait and my money. I've played all tomb raider games and I could compare it especially with its prequel, Tomb Raider 2013.

     First of all, graphics are amazing, one of the best I've ever seen on PS4, both characters and settings are absolutely realistic. 

    Settings are breathless, not too varied being always in the same area but amazing and well-finished. Unlike its prequel, Lara has more abilities and skills to improve, in this new one she can also swim under water, climb on trees, hide herself in bushes to avoid enemies and use a grappling hook! All of this, added to more tools to collect to upgrade guns, moreover she can also change her outfit and each one has a different bonus.

    In the previous one, you had just 4 weapons and both hunting and gathering were almost useless, they just gave you some xp. While in this one, like in Far Cry, you have a wide range of weapons and you have to kill a bear to obtain its fur and create a holster, or you need to collect mushrooms and wood to make poisoned arrows, just for instance. 
    Map is twice (or even three times) as big as the prequel and the gameplay is very long, to finish the story you need to take 15 hours, but if you want to explore the tombs, follow secondary missions etc. 


     

  12. PS2 was the only console that I own, it was the best of the best and still I have the two controllers for them. regards the console itself it has been damaged and bin years ago. even that I had 5 games it was so good. And yet it was not that big, meaning that the new console are way way to big. 

    I wish they design an new updated one and let it come back

  13. Yes and no.

    No, in that it’s making plenty of money, there’s plenty of developers, and plenty of new games coming out.

    Yes, however, there’s a super-saturation of developers jumping on the bandwagon. While there’s more money in total, it’s being stretched pretty thin so that even devs with great games are basically being pushed out of the market just due to the sheer volume being produced.

    This is probably not a long term “death” by any means, though. We’ll probably see a die-off of a bunch of smaller companies and single-dev indie startups when it becomes impossible to ignore the fact that most of them won’t make any profits and it’s not the cash cow they seem to think it’ll be.

    When that happens, you’ll see a correction on its own where the more competent developers are able to take advantage of the situation.

    Things like candy crush and other such games, however, are not going to go away unless they’re made illegal. They’re specifically designed to make abusive use of the very tiny portion of the population with severe gambling addictions and so on. Less than 1% of their player base makes up for over 90% of their profits, and when you consider that some of them are making millions per month, that should become suddenly very worrying when you realize what that means the average person in that 1% range is paying out.

    Basically, regulation of harmful games which are designed explicitly to milk a very small amount of addictive personality customers for unhealthy amounts, will wind up killing that portion of the market off, which would mean fewer devs expecting to be the next big thing, and the market itself would decrease drastically in scale of production… but it would be higher quality games on average.

    As it is, it will have a “small” death in that the more people that enter the market, the less sustainable it will be for most of them and you’ll see a crash similar to what happened back in the dot-com crash in the 90’s. It won’t kill off everything by any means, but it’ll change the way the games are made substantially.
