[Are games ever going to be so photorealistic they're confused with real life?]

Yeah. I have that in my wishlist. Once I complete my current Far cry 3, I will go for that Ghost of Tsushima. By the way, have you already completed it, or in the midway?

That's cool, I'm sure you will likely complete it sooner rather than later and you will join us with Ghost of Tsushima. You will definitely love it. 

[Are battle royale games starting to die down?]

Personally, I think that some of them are dying down in terms of the number of people still playing them with Fortnite as a case study.

With the huge fallout between Epic games and Apple, it drastically affected the number of gamers who still played Fortnite. 

[Trading Card Games]

I never played Magic the Gathering I heard it is good from a friend. I did play Yu-Gi-Oh of course until someone stole all my cards while I was playing basketball. Then I just gave up.

The person who stole it must have been observing you with it for a while and looked for the perfect opportunity to steal it. It's why I'm always careful with how I handled my Magic The Gathering cards. 

[What makes a dungeon fun?]

On 1/1/2021 at 1:32 AM, The Blackangel said:

 

But above all, a good challenge, and a sense of accomplishment afterwards. An item or treasure is always great too.

This basically sums it up for me when it comes to what makes getting into it in the first place. If there is no sense of accomplishment and good reward for the time spent on the Dungeon, then I'm not playing. 

[Can you teach adult how to play game to while away time?]

As much as I don't like playing Candy Crush Saga game on mobile, I had to teach my mother how to play it because she likes the game which is a very annoying game for me. 

[Biggest quest reward letdowns?]

When you get just 1% of your completion rating after working so hard to find Donkey Kong's 64's 949 Banana coins is totally a quest not worth getting into. 

[What video game ending would you change?]

On 12/3/2020 at 7:56 PM, StaceyPowers said:

Including me.

I love how candid you are most times because not everyone are wired that way. 

Ps. I would like change the ending of Final Fantasy XV and find a way to prevent Noctis from dying. 

[If you could redesign your house in the style of any game?]

I can't think of anything else when it comes to a perfect design other than Cyberpunk 2077. I'd set up a new design of my home like a night city view of the game in 3D if possible. 

[Most motivating rewards in games]

On 1/4/2021 at 1:04 AM, The Blackangel said:

You have the same thought as me. The enjoyable experience of playing the game IS the reward.

Exactly, when you ended up investing your time in a particular video game and it ends up not being a satisfying experience, it's definitely not a rewarding experience. 

[Why is motion blur even an option in games?]

Seriously, anything that interfere with the graphics of any game that I'm playing is absolutely not needed for me and it's what motion blur does whenever it's on in my games. It's a no-no for me. 

[If on PC, do you prefer your video games online or you buy the cases?]

On 12/20/2018 at 1:16 PM, killamch89 said:

Digital purchases are my preference. Knowing myself, I will probably misplace the cases and then I'd get annoyed that I can't find my games. 

Personally, I do both when it comes to getting my PC games. I'd prefer some games in digital copies and some in physical copies. I think the price plays a big role in determining which one I go for. 

[What do you do when you are bored from games?]

On 8/13/2020 at 9:07 AM, AndreiMirfi said:

For me, I listen to music or go outside to ride my bike.

There are so many other ways to have fun for myself apart from playing video games. I enjoy good movie series as well. 

But if it's a particular game that is boring me, then I would just change the game. 

[Would you buy a scalped console?]

On 12/5/2020 at 10:09 PM, StaceyPowers said:

Would you ever pay a marked-up rate to purchase a scalped console? If so, why or why not? Personally, I cannot imagine doing this, however badly I might want a PS5 right now.

Seriously, if it's something that I would ever be open to doing, then I would have owned a Playstation 5 by now but it's completely against what I stand for. 

[Crushes on video game characters]

On 12/9/2018 at 11:18 PM, StaceyPowers said:

I have yet to form a crush on a video game character, but one of my friends is head-over-heels in love with a video game character and has been for years.

Anyone here have any major video game character crushes?

Well, I hope having a crush on video game characters doesn't have to be towards opposite sex right? This is because my own crush happens to be towards Sephiroth. 

[What percentage of your games are new vs. used?]

A higher percentage of my games are all new, let's say 75% to 25% new to old games. I only get old games used games if I really can't afford it new. 

[Racism as a theme in video games]

On 1/3/2021 at 9:05 PM, m76 said:

Are you sure that's not projection?

Say if in both cases you were wearing a red shirt would then the game say that, people in red shirts are thieves?  Of course not.

Personally, I don't think it's anything to do with projection and also it's not the same thing as the color of dress but the skin color. So, I think GTA kind of have a thing against painting the black race with bad picture. 

[Do PS5 scalpers have any legitimate defense for their actions?]

On 12/5/2020 at 10:08 PM, StaceyPowers said:

I saw a scalper group defending its actions with buying up PS5s and reselling them at high prices recently. The group said that a lot of its members were out of work because of coronavirus and needed the money.

Do you feel that is a legitimate defense, or simply points toward the need for other solutions?

 

 

From onset, men has been that way with always trying to justify all their actions with a good reason for the cause whether it's something good or bad. 

If a scammer is caught, he or she would definitely come up with an excuse to justify his or her own actions. 

[Share pictures of your characters?]

On 1/5/2021 at 1:06 AM, The Blackangel said:

This is my Skyrim character. I unequipped everything from her just for this pic to give a better show of what I look like.

 

 

She looks quite mean from just looking into her eyes. It's one hell of rage that's burning through her eyes. I think i would work on a character like her. I'm copying your work already 😉. 

[Modding Games]

On 12/9/2020 at 9:50 PM, Reality vs Adventure said:

What exactly is modding in games? Is that something only for computer gaming?

Games modding gives you a more robust game play based on what you want to have in your game. More like tapping into your gaming fantasy and making it real by adding modifications to the game you're playing. 

[Anyone into simulators?]

On 1/3/2021 at 10:01 PM, Cumulus said:

Is anyone here interested in simulation gaming? I'm normally more of a FPS guy myself, but I recently have been enjoying MSFS 2020 and OMSI 2 - mostly the latter because a map came put modelling my local area.

 

They make a nice change from typical gameplay and can be quite a refreshing break. What's your favourite simulators? 

Personally, I have given quite a decent amount of time into playing flight simulator back in the days and I wouldn't say that it wasn't enjoyable but I have moved on now. 

[Games that were a total waste of money for you]

Seriously, I can't hate myself anymore for wasting my time and money on getting as well as actually playing The Order: 1886. Yes, it's a game where you're posed as a knight and kill both vampires and werewolves but it's something that you can complete in give or take 5 hours of gameplay. 

[Games recommended to you a lot you still have not played?]

Over the past few months, I have been recommended to get into playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla but I'm yet to fully adjust to playing it. Maybe when I'm done with play The Last Of Us II, then I might consider it. 

[Speedruns]

On 2/29/2020 at 9:29 PM, StaceyPowers said:

Do you watch speedrun videos? And do you participate in speedruns yourself? If so, what is the appeal?

I do think I see why speedruns are entertaining, just from a “check out what I managed to do” standpoint.

In general though, I’ve never really got into it, and I actually get really annoyed if there is a section of a video game which is essentially designed as a speedrun, where you have to get through an area within X minutes or start over.

 

The question is whether Speedrun has any good value added to the gameplay and my personal observations is a big NO. So, I don't really see them as worth the stress. 

[Movies you wish were games]

On 3/21/2020 at 4:13 PM, Alyxx said:

The Cube would make for an interesting game I think.

Seriously, who wouldn't want to have the Cube as a video game? It's absolutely going to be massive and explosive as well. I don't use to pre-order games but I might make an exception here. 

[Action or Story]

On 3/1/2020 at 7:55 AM, Joshua Farrell said:

What is more important to you in a game, the action or the story?

I will generally love the story line more than the action in a game. But if the action properly compliments the story, and isn't just to get you from task 1 to task to, then I would enjoy that too.

I'm never going to choose one over the other because they both complete the game by making it a whole. If it's just action, it won't have any meaning and if it's just story, it won't be fun.
