[PS5 DualSense lightbar question]

You can change it through a program on a PC, but as soon as you hook it up to the PS5 again its going to default to its original color.

[Genshin Impact]

I played it up to the point the dragon fell out of the sky or something like that, after that required too much grinding, so I dropped it. Still a fun game though.

[2022 For Games]

I felt like it was a pretty decent year, though you really don't want a year when too many big games drop.

[Can an AI Write a Review?]

I'm sure it could but be the most funny thing or awkward thing to read lol.

[How long do you wait for a game to go on sale?]

Depends on the game, thanks to my backlog I can wait a good long while and get a game rather cheap or free via PSN.

[Square Enix Officially Shut Down Babylon's Fall Months After Failed Live Service's Disastrous Launch]

That's the thing, Fortnite is the one live service game I see that kinda does it right. For the most part, they're pretty good about releasing updates, fixes, and changing the game up. It's to my knowledge, the best live service game out there for what it offers. Because technically you can play Fortnite all the way through without getting the battle pass. Of course you don't open emotes, character skins and all that, but the option is there if you want it. And to be fair, when they do update, it isn't that big of a deal, at least to me. It makes sense to take the game offline for a bit to put out a new season, especially how much they change with the map, the controls, weapons and all that. It's a lot of work. 

But it's not easy to replicate what Epic Games does with Fortnite. Not many games can achieve it all the while appeasing the fans. COD on the other hand has been trying to do it for years, and I feel they always fail. Main reason is because you have to pay $60 (or $70 now) for the main game, and now you have to pay extra for gun skins, character skins etc. I believe it has its own battle pass, but should we be paying $60/$70, plus the battle pass fee? 

If COD reverted to 100% free to play for their standard multiplayer, I think it'd draw a lot of people in, and then a battle pass would kinda be reasonable since the game is free. But, you also have warzone, which has been CODs attempt at making a free to play experience. I'm sure that has a battle pass of its own, but I can't comment how well received that side of COD is. 

I certainly get on CoD more if the online gameplay was free and easy to get on, maybe throw some money on the battle pass. But the whole game itself is kind of large to get these days.

[Games you took a while to get into the first time, but later didn’t see why?]

Ummm, I didn't get into FF 7 at first but when I got a bit older I enjoyed it.

[Games where the alternate voice actors all did well capturing the same character?]

Nothing coming to mind, but future Batman games will need to step up to cover Mark Hamill's Joker voice.

[Have You Ever Been Scared Watching a Game?]

I forget its name, but there was one when I was playing that frighten me pretty good to the point I hid the game under a few other games lol.

[What games benefit from having smaller worlds/settings/maps?]

I enjoy exploring, but not too much, need a certain balance and not go too large. If you make things too big, then you just got lots of empty space going to waste.

[Have you ever built your own gaming PC?]

I have and went dead on me about 2 years later, so heartbreaking 😞

[How do you decide which platform you will play each game on?]

Which whatever is stronger to run it or if I can mod the game for easier playing.

[Sony is worried about Microsoft Buying Activision]

Instead of fighting Microsoft, Sony should use the few years they will get CoD to make their own game that will do better as both CoD and Battlefield seem to be going past their prime.

I remember when I was younger, this would have been in the 90's Pokemon was all the rage, from cards to the games everyone either had the game or the cards or both. I remember my brothers were all into getting the cards and they used to collect them and with me being interested and curious, I myself started collecting them as well. My youngest brother was the one who played the games quite frequently and I did play them a few times myself but it was never anything I full go into in terms of Polemon. I didn't mind the cards and even watching it on the TV but the games I struggled to get into. 

 

What made it hard to get into the games? I found it easier to play the video game then collecting the card version.

[Modern Warfare 2 PS5 Disc Only Houses 70MB of Data]

If they are going to go digital only for this series, they need better compression practices or just tone down the graphics that drive up storage space. Not everyone can download such big data.

[Ever deal with Joycon Drift?]

On 10/28/2022 at 3:02 PM, Kane99 said:

Yeah I think it's mostly due to prolonged use. For me, I used to play a lot of Call of Duty on the 360, and due to that I think my constant playing eventually resulted in my controller having drift. Usually the left analog stick goes bad. It may be because the melee button is the push of the analog stick. 

But yeah, the more you use it, the more likely drift will occur. 

Makes you wonder what poor testing the game companies do on their controllers these days.

[How much did your PC cost?]

My custom I made cost little over 2k and my recent one to replace that was roughly 1500. I'll get a better one some day.

[The worst job]

I'd say retail but call center is even more degrading, though I guess they are both worst in their own way.

[Unrealistic jumping in games]

I don't mind them so long as it feels good in the video game, an example of a bad one is Megaman series and a good one is like Sly cooper series jumping.

[Modern Warfare 2 PS5 Disc Only Houses 70MB of Data]

Not surprised, discs can only hold so much and for a game like CoD, it would go beyond the need of discs. Guess its better to just get it digital.

I noticed with pro controllers or standard controllers as well, that drift still happens. At least with my Xbox 360, Xbox One controllers they always resulted in drift at some point. I think it's from prolonged use of course, but it is still annoying. 

I still have yet to get it, but I don't play my Switch much or hard, so I may not cause it.

[Memory Erased]

Playing one of my favorite games, just to experience it again!

[Ask DC]

Whats your favorite season in the Overlord series?

[Ever deal with Joycon Drift?]

I haven't but I don't use the joy cons either, I just use the pro controller, a bit easier to replace if I do get it.

[Earning money playing games]

There's not many options when it comes to making money on video games. It's either you work on them, stream them, review them, join an eSports league, etc. 

It's kinda hard to make money from gaming. You could be a game tester, but I hear that job is notoriously bad, you literally play the same areas over and over attempting to break the game. 

Game developers also don't make a ton either. 

It's hard to make money from gaming. 

I wouldn't count esports league, end up not being good and you earn very little to nothing and if you're good you'll just strain your hand to a broken state.
