Just going by the picture, the first thing that came to my mind was Riven.

There's a worldwide milk shortage and people are killing each other for a jug.

@skyfire That would be Hexen.

I would say a part of it would be because they're less constrained. With children they would have to be careful to make sure there's nothing "inappropriate" in the game. Think of all the sexual scandals Disney has had with their movies. Whereas with adults, they can make a game with whatever the hell comes to mind, and unless it's just a shitty game, no one will complain. Take Banjo Kazooie on N64 vs The Witcher 3. BK was a cutesy kiddie games. You run around as a bear/bird combo collecting puzzle pieces to save the bears little sister from having her beauty stolen by an ugly witch. The Witcher 3 however....not so kiddie. Even Conker's Bad Fur day initially started off as a childrens game, until the writers decided to get a little kinky. So adult games are limitless, and childrens games are very limited. Especially in this day and age with all the SJW bullshit going on.

I have the Switch Lite, and the only difference I’ve found between it and the first Switch is that the Lite doesn’t support a vibration function. It has it in the system settings, but it hasn’t activated in any of the games I’ve played on mine yet. For example, in Links Awakening when you get the seashell detector, it’s supposed to both chime and vibrate. It does both on the Switch, but only chimes on the Lite. And it’s the same with all games. So if you can live without small things like that, then you shouldn’t have any problem.

Who is your number one role model and why?

Do you carry anything for self defense?

What all are you allergic to?

Thoughts on the death penalty?

Smooth as silk, with graphics I would never have imagined from a handheld system, as well as a game that runs on such a small game cartridge.

I'm curious. How do I "rad into and debate with maturely"? I think if you want to type in English, you should first learn English.
Hence, incoherent inane babbling.

As always the closest I can come is AOE2. Pure and simple one of the best PC games ever released.

No affects. I'm the same as I ever was. Gaming hasn't changed any part of me.

It doesn't surprise me. Gaming can often lessen stress for a lot of us. With me for example, I have to have my hands occupied or I'll start stressing out severely. Video games take care of that plus my eyes and ears. Assuming I have the sound on. I tried fidget spinners, and rolling a throwing star back and forth through my fingers, as well as "juggling" a knife in one hand. That didn't really cut it. No pun intended. Something that covers eyes, ears, and hands and has a goal is what it takes for me. Otherwise, things get a bit, shall we say, crazy, with me.

I obviously hit a nerve.
Interesting.

Shagger you missed the point entirely.
I was here in the early days of Atari. I remember playing games like Pitfall and Pac Man. I remember them being the pinnacle of video graphics. The point of this post was not to debate game ratings. Game ratings have nothing to do with anything here. My intent with this thread was how game companies are no longer focusing on children. the look at adults. They create games that are what adults want to see. A 4 year old will most likely have no interest in Skyrim. Or even be able to play it for that matter.
Make sure you understand the post next time. I've read your posts across the forum, and your incoherent babbling is starting to get annoying.

Here's the one I got. It came with tons of DLC.

I've been noticing a shift in video games over the last several years. Especially since the N64/PS1/Xbox era. Games are getting more violent, graphic, vulgar, and just not particularly kid oriented. So I'm thinking that gaming may not really be meant for kids anymore, but instead, meant for adults. Sure there are games such as Mario, Sonic, and Zelda that are kid friendly. But the majority of what I see on the shelves, and in online discussions, are not for kids. I remember when NES came out, there were a lot of parents who either sold or threw away the Zapper because they thought it would teach their kids gun violence. Then we have the whole controversy of fighting games (MK, SF2, etc.) and games like COD and GTA. So is it just me, or are kids being phased out from the gaming world to make room for adults?

OK, what rock have I been living under? I picked up The Witcher 3 on Switch yesterday. This game is awesome! I'm just getting used to things in the tutorial, and it's a bit more difficult to keep track of everything than what I'm used to, but I'm blown away. It was well worth the money. I can't wait to really get in deep in the game, once I know what the hell I'm doing.
Also I'm curious if anyone has any pointers for a noob? Do's and Don'ts, whatever. This girl needs advice!

Went again.

I'm putting time and date so I can keep track of when I went. Otherwise I'll completely forget. No other reason. -

I'm confused, from what I understand this is technically not a bad thing, according to these guidelines youtube creators will able to upload simulated or planned violent videos without getting an age restriction "ban" or "tag" (I dont know what to call it), which makes the video harder to find or watch, instead the videos will be subject to approval from Youtube.
That’s what I was getting from the article as well. I really don’t see the problem here.
Physically Violent Console Wars Amongst Gamers

I remember back when N64, PS1, and Xbox were all going head to head everyone had their favorite console. That was natural amongst gamers. What I saw all too often was the differing opinions come to blows. I have always been a Nintendo fan ever since NES came out. But when a PlayStation kid and Nintendo kid start beating the shit out of each other, and then both turn on the Xbox kid, that's where I get lost. You like different systems. Good for you, or fuck you. Whichever you prefer. The one time someone tried to pick a fight with me over consoles I cracked her in the face with a shovel. No one bothered me personally after that. But why? If I don't want to play an Xbox, I have the right to not play the damn Xbox. If you don't want to play on my Nintendo, then you have the right to not play on my Nintendo. Why is that so hard to understand? Different consoles, different capabilities, different options, different everything. I have a real hard time picturing Castlevania SOTN on a cartridge. Can you picture FF7 on N64? Neither can I. Don't even get me started where Halo and COD would be without Xbox.
But was literally drawing blood really a requirement to like a different console than the kid standing next to you? I've never been tolerant of stupidity, or willing to even try to understand it because I refuse to insult myself. But this was next level stupid, as well as bat shit crazy. Does anyone else remember this?
