[I'm done buying codes from G2A, and you should too]

I used G2A for like one month in 2016 and I haven't touched it since. The keys there are usually obtained by scammers using stolen credit cards that then sell you the unsuspecting person that key. At some point, there'll be a chargeback on the credit card and that key will become null and void.

I keep wondering why the site is still up even till date when there's so much reasons for it to be shutdown based on illegal activities? Those who are still making use of G2A are taking serious risk. 

[I'm done buying codes from G2A, and you should too]

Personally, I have never been a fan of G2A. I have never used their services for anything whatsoever and it appeared to be one of best decisions I've made since I started playing video games. I would never recommend their services to anyone.

I just clicked on the website. I had never heard of the Gaming Awards before.

There are quite a few categories. I was hoping to vote but voting is closed. 

Any predictions?

I was looking forward to voting for Hogwarts Legacy but it never made the voting poll, I had to vote for Spiderman but Baldur's Gate 3 ended up winning the best game of the year. 

[Think we'll see anything like amiibos and nfc toys again for gaming?]

I believe that with how the Amiibos and those Skylander figures used to be very popular, there will always be a good chance it's going to resurgence back up in the future when a good project that's going to give it the push it needs to come right back on top. I'm actually looking forward to when that's going to happen. 

[Do you create yourself or someone else with your custom characters?]

For me, it's always more appealing for me to create another character different from myself. In fact, I've had enough of myself because I play myself every day by living my life. So, when it comes to my gaming characters, I need someone different. 

[What game did you spend most of your time on in 2023?]

The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom would the game I spent so much time on playing last year 2023. This game to me was the best action/adventure game of the year. Its combination of combat with traversal and puzzle solving made it so great. 

[Do you agree with Christopher Judge about new COD campaign being too short?]

A lot of things was wrong with the new COD Modern Warfare 3 and not just the duration of the campaign. The developers were definitely going to nag about what Christopher Judge said because he gave a voice to what so many were finding hard to express themselves. 

[Do you trust social media for video game rumours?]

I have seen some credible gaming rumors on Twitter which have made me to mark such accounts I sad those rumors. As for Facebook, I will always take whatever I saw there with a pinch of salt. 

[Does anyone even bother to watch streams on Steam?]

Actually, I have known about the streams on Steam for a while but unfortunately I haven't been interested in making use of the service since they started it. I'm more comfortable with doing that on YouTube and Twitch. 

[Rockstar has a leaker problem]

There's no leak that happens without it being an inside job. It's very unfortunate this can't be stopped completely. Those who are doing it are making money from it one way or another. It's why they will keep doing it.

Actually, I heard it was some licensing issue when it came to music. I've never understood why music licenses and other things for game weren't permanent.

You're very correct. I had to look that up and found out the same thing as the licenses being talked about have to do with the game’s music. During the The Line’s menu screen, Jimi Hendrix’s rendition of The Star Spangled Banner are all part of it while the game’s soundtrack like Martha and The Vandellas- Nowhere to Run all had the licenses expired. 

[Video games is effective in improving hand-eye coordination.]

Yes of course, I completely agree with you on this. It's with both your eyes and hands that all video games are played. So, by doing that often, it will surely enhance one's hand/eye coordination. 

[Balance between single-player and multiplayer games]

Personally, I don't have any problems with playing multiplayer games because they can be fun to play. Destiny is a very example of multiplayer game I enjoy so much but if I'm to choose the one I favor more, it will be single player. 

[Do you find graphics on games important?]

Even game developers knows the impact of having good graphics in their games today. It's why they are now using improved engines like Unreal Engine 5 and so many other sophisticated alternatives to develop their games. Personally, I appreciate games with good graphics too the same way I love good story in games. 

[Does the focus on multiplayer online take away from story telling?]

I don't think it takes away from storyline. Destiny has a wonderful multiplayer portion, but they have told a great story in my opinion. Even Call of Duty has a storyline, now have I really ever played the campaign.... no, but I like the idea of the story they have. xD 

I was definitely going to mention Destiny because it's one multiplayer game that have given so much in making gamers have a real feel of what playing multiplayer games is all about. As for COD, I have been trying to revoke my interest in playing the game. 

[What games do you enjoy playing?]

Personally, I love playing some of these franchises ; Survival horror, shooting, racing, fighting,football manager and adventure games. Any game that falls within these categories with a standard story, I'll love playing it. 

[Why i think PC gaming is better than console gaming]

This is always going to be subjective in my opinion. Those who prefer playing on PC for one reason or another will always tell you that PC is better than consoles. I don't have time to argue with them, I'll just stick with loving my console. 

[Game that had a profound impact on the gaming industry]

How about the Call of Duty franchise when it was seen as the best shooting game franchise ever released? This shooting game broke into the market like a wild fire. No gamer who enjoyed shooting games could say no to COD. 

[What video game franchises have the most spin-offs?]

There are so many games with many spin-offs. Games like Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Pokémon but the one which I believe that have too many spin-offs is going to be Final Fantasy. If you ever played Final Fantasy, you will know for certain that it's with countless spin-off. 

[Should another dev team make future Batman games instead of Rocksteady?]

It's just like what's been happening with the Call of Duty franchise. It definitely needs a new development team to take over everything about the game production. So, it's the same thing I feel with Batman games. A new breath of life needs to ushered into the game.

It's too bad the game was delisted from Steam and other marketplaces because some people will never get to experience this gem of a game first-hand.

Even though I know it's as a result of sales and marketing purposes which the game wasn't meeting up with target but I refuse to understand it. If some gamers will still buy the game, what's the essence of delisting it? 

[Favorite Tekken 8 Character]

Alisa is definitely going to be my favourite character in Tekken 8. There's a very good reason why she's gets more playtime in ranked mode of the game. Why I love her is how good her mobility and stance helps with enabling her move very quickly across the arena. Her technological enhancements offers the use of chainsaw and rockets to cause heavy damages.

Have we all not experienced this as kids? There was a time I missed school just to stay at home and play. Parents were out of town for a week, I woke up one morning and loaded the game instead of preparing for school. 
School called my parents that I was absent and I can never forget the discipline I received. That experience still being smiles to my face whenever I remember it. 

I can't remember how many times I skipped class just to go home with my friends for us to play on his Playstation 1 back in the days. It was mostly Winning Eleven Soccer that we played back them. We never got enough of it. 

[Do you buy most of your retro games online or in store these days?]

That's the risk, definitely.  There are going to be hunts where you find nothing or nothing of interest to you, and there are going to be hunts where you find a lot of "meh" titles, but that's what makes the hunts where you find the truly great stuff worthwhile.  It's like anything in life, you've got your share of disappointments that aren't fun, but they make the great moments worthwhile!

Yeah, that's very correct. If it's all easy whenever you went looking, it's going to even get boring along the line and it's certainly going to lose it's value and vibe because anyone can get into the act and get great titles with ease. There wouldn't be fun in it that much. 

[Are there games where you skip the story completely?]

7 hours ago, PGen98 said:

Totally agree, games these days are exactly like playing through a very long movie, as was said above, so it makes no sense to take the immersion out of the equation.  It's like watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy from the start of The Fellowship and then Skipping to the last 40 minutes of Return of the King.  You miss the whole point.

Seriously, it has never made any sense to me whenever I see any gamer go at a game in this manner. I'm always like how do they enjoy the cut off in between and jump right to almost the end. It can never work for me playing that way.
