Square Enix's long-term NFT strategy will backfire as the whole world hates NFTs and it's possible demonized even more in the gaming industry than anywhere else. Execs in these companies never seem to have a clue about what's going on in the world.

How much you want to bet that when it's released, it'll still have a whole lot of bugs and glitches? Going by Ubisoft's releases in the past few years, I'm already keeping my expectations extremely low as I just know Skull and Bones is going to be a disappointment if it ever gets released that is.

As others have said here, it sounds a bit bizarre coming from Neil as several other series have structured their games like that. Manhunt being one of the earliest examples so it's not like it is an original concept.

The gaming industry is already on its way to being a monopoly where a few companies own most of the major gaming studios. I remember hearing about this years ago and also laughing. With that being said, I'm glad it didn't go through because Microsoft likely would've killed off most of the iconic series already like Mario Kart among others. It's Europe that's actually putting a stop to this.

All I can say is that this takes a lot of dedication to compile over the years and to be constantly updating - that is amazing.

Agreed - it is a steal at $21 but the re-released edition should be $30 at most because these Hitman games have been out for a few years now.

I agree but they did say you can customize the button layout according to the article so it could be customized to their capabilities. Sony aren't know for selling anything at an affordable price - that's for sure... And I remember the single red button from Microsoft.

I'm not sure yet but we'll see what they have to offer. A racing game can't be ruled out and if it's wacky and unique in a good way, it could really do wonders for them. I'm wondering how these departures will impact Forza in the long term.

Definitely as we're also entering the age where we can get internet connection from satellites via Starlink so digital only consoles will be the way of the future. It also saves gaming companies a ton on things like shipping among other things and those bastards will do almost anything to make more profit.

A Charging station is also recommended for both your wireless controllers and your other devices.

Half Life 3 had to be on this list and it should've been number one. I don't know why there's a small set of people thinking that we'll ever see Half-Life 3 ever coming out.

Handhelds have been popping up left and right in the past two years especially since the success of the Switch and Steam Deck. However, the other offerings just aren't quite as polished as either of these two. My friend has a Steam Deck and the Steam OS is smooth - I also love the option of installing Windows but if Steam continues to polish it, it may become a viable alternative to Mobile windows in the near future.

Older game series do still have a place on YouTube and I love watching some of them, especially ones for the older Ratchet & Clank games and games like Socom on the PS2.

As much as I'd like split-screen Co-op to make a comeback, let's put it this way, not many modern gamers even make use of the feature anymore. They prefer to play online and so game developers don't think that it's an essential feature to have anymore.

I agree - I do like when the AI is able to come up with more varied strategies to keep me on my toes when playing a game. For example, the xenomorphs in Alien Isolation learned how you responded to certain methods of attack and adapted which meant you couldn't keep using the same strategy to evade them the entire game.

Not really - whenever I have headaches, that's when I normally go and play some games to ease my mind and it does help some of the time.

You're forgetting about the Elder Scroll and Fallout series (particularly Skyrim and Fallout 4) - without the modding community, these games would just be mediocre games with some game-breaking bugs. Thanks to their modding communities, these mediocre Bethesda games have been turned into timeless hits.

I guess it's exposed more non-gamers to the gaming space and influences some of them to become gamers themselves. On the other hand, you have toxic spears that keep threatening game developers over Social Media when the game they're looking forward to suffers a delay or some kind of setback. Also, there are the streamers who just jump into a game because it's the most popular thing out without learning the basics such as the controls or anything about the story of the game. I do agree with you here - a good amount of streamers just play the hottest thing available just to get views.

Competitive gaming will only grow in stature as pro gaming gains more attention. I mean, a good amount of us watch others gaming on YouTube so Esports does have a lot of potential.

It sounds like a dream at first until you hear all the horror stories and the amount of mistreatment/poor conditions that testers have to work under. Then it sounds worse than any generic dead-end job.

For sure it will but I'm not sure how much of an impact it'll have in the short-term. Until unionization is widespread and mandatory in the gaming industry, its impact will be very limited and could make those employees even bigger targets of discrimination/abuse.

Hmmm. This quite an interesting one - Madison was pretty scary - scariest horror game I ever played. I don't think I've ever panicked in a game quite as much and just wanted it to end.

That's a very valid point you're making there and I was going to bring it up. Also look at what Ubisoft did with some of their games as well - it almost seems like piracy is the only way you can keep around some games.
