Yeah, leaks can be real from time to time, but what you have to remember is that the basic information like a games release window is only guaranteed from one source, the official one, so why bother risking putting faith in leaked information when you'll have to wait for it to be confirmed by the official source anyway? It's completely pointless and will almost always just set yourself up to be disappointed. Imagine it's pouring down with rain and, according to the official timetable, it'll be half an hour until your bus comes. However, somebody not affiliated with the bus company promises you that if you abandon the safe, dry shelter you're sitting in and go wait at the stop you will get a bus sooner, but you'll have to stand in the rain otherwise you'll miss it. So what do you do, trust the dodgy individual that's provided a tip you can't verify and risk getting soaked in the slim hope he's not trolling you or trust the actual information from the credible source even though it means you have to wait a little longer. Me? I'd wait, and so would anyone with even a shred of common sense. Another thing that makes the situation different with RDR2s map is when that happened, the game itself was at least confirmed and people weren't literally turning praying on the hopes of fans into money making schemes, like people are doing with GTA6, especially on YouTube. That creates an element of danger to following rumours about GTA6 that I've never seen from any other game, so people have to be more carful. Not to mention if half the rumours that have come out were true the game would have been out by now, so why people keep trusting these rumours is beyond me.

I dunno, can apps like Discord run at the same time as a game on mobile? I know the Discord app on mobile is really good, but I've never tried to voice chat with it whilst it's running in the background on a phone or tablet.

Should video game writers have to bow to the whims of players?
Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
That's a rich statement coming from someone who considers game developers making female characters too ugly to meet your standards some sort of social/political statement. From your review of Terminator: Resistance you posted on the forum earlier today. -
I fell like I've been a tape recording on loop for at least half a decade saying the same thing I'm about to say now. Ignore anything you hear about GTA6 that doesn't come from Rockstar and/or Take Two themselves. The amount of forum posts, articles, social media posts and YouTube videos (People have made successful YouTube channels by faking news about this game) that exist as clickbait to get traction through this game that hasn't even been confirmed to be in development is almost as amazing as the sheer amount of people who keep falling for it. Advice not just to @Heatman, but anyone else who is fortunate enough to read this, because it will change your life. Ignore this crap. This game does not a release date, it doesn't have a release window, it does not have a protagonist, it does not have a setting, it doesn't even exist at all until Rockstar Games or Take Two Interactive says it does. Any "news" on GTA6 from any other source is not credible, and the sooner you all stop enslaving yourselves to this clickbait, the better it will be for your mental health.

My concern isn't which animal i might survive being attacked by, because I honestly don't think I have a chance against either of them. So I shift to what happens after the attack, so that's why I go with the wolf. A wolf would probably just simply eat me, but a bear is less predictable. I might shit on my face, or use my body to "ease the tension" if you know what I mean, regardless it'll probably be less dignified than being eaten.

Have you ever discovered a new favorite band or composer by gaming?
Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
They consider old video game soundtracks to be a major inspiration, and you can here it in thier music. The last album though the went all out on the gaming theme. And here they are on tour with that album (The other band on stage here was thier main support band on that tour Lovebites, who are fantastic, btw, and one of my favourite band atm) -
DualSense blinks orange once when plugged in?
Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I don't know about the DualSence, but when that happens with the Dualshock 4, it means the battery is bully charged and so can't take in any more juice, thus breaking the connection. -

I've actually decided to lock this thread until @killamch89 DM's me to better explain what the topic is about. That's now four people replied clearly unsure as to exactly what the topic really is. There's no point on trying to discuss this as a community when the subject itself in unclear. So @killamch89, message me as soon as you can so we can determine exactly what the topic is, then I'll edit the topic to make it easier to understand then re-open it.

What exactly do progressives believe?
Shagger replied to Reality vs Adventure's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
To me, a progressive is someone who believes in social progress (hence the name). Someone who believes in principles and a social ideology that's forward thinking, looking to the future rather than standing firm with old ideals and maintaining the status quo. Ideals not built on religion, but science for example. -
Good to know the release date. I'm not surprised nor particularly bothered by the coming out later than expected. I've spoken before about how it's a serious and mostly unspoken problem for game companies to announce release dates too early to greedily cash in on pre-orders before they know the game will be ready on time. With pre-orders for this starting in the beginning of September, around 5-6 months before the planned release date, Id say that's a fair balance. That's obviously not a guarantee that the game will come out polished and not be delayed again, but you can say Guerrilla are opening up pre-orders with enough certainty 5 months before launch.

My old mouse is actually quite similar to that. I'd have to see the full specks and button placement to have some idea of what it might be like to use, but the design allows for a compact, very stiff chassis and low centre of gravity without adding much weight, so there is a practical aspect to the deign. Yes, the looks are not subtle, using that in an office you may as well wear of COD cap and drink out your coffee out of a novelty gaming mug, it would be that embarrassing.

Wow, that is pretty bad. Did they give any logical reason for this? Not that it would be a valid excuse, I'm just curious if they tried.

This is actually spot on. The game is called Grand Theft Auto, its literally named after a crime. So for people to get all shocked and shaken when you roleplay as somebody, minority or not, doing crime is a classic case of reading too much into it. Whether or not Rockstar handled race well in thier games is open to debate, I honestly wouldn't be one to know. I think the vast majority of players take the characters in GTA games as individuals like the way you said about the "white" criminals and people looking at GTA and any prejudiced overtones it may have are looking at the portal of the characters as individuals and are free to judge for themselves. I do think some of the characters and gang member NPC's, especially in some of the earlier GTA games, are kind of stereotypical, but to call it flat out racist is a bit of a stretch.

Nearly 80% of video game characters are male
Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
It's ironic after all this talk about mirrors that you think you're writing about me, when you just written a perfect description about yourself. I know how smart you are and I know what you trying to do, get under my skin, but it won't work. Now, as a mod, I'm telling you get back on topic. -
If on PC, do you prefer your video games online or you buy the cases?
Shagger replied to The Overseer's topic in Gaming Forum
Nobody "went" digital on PC as if we, the gamers, had a choice. The platform itself abandoned physical games what had to well over a decade ago. -

Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I don't even need to read beyond this sheer hypocrisy. Ever since you arrived here there has been no narrative that's correct except your own, no haw far fetched or controversial, not matter how many of us see flaw in it. When challenged, you become a victim and it's really getting old. Seriously, why are you here? Let me tell you, if the purpose to convince us that your way seeing thins is the way it should be seen, that you speak the one and only truth then are wasting everyone's time, including your own. I've admitted I'm wrong plenty of times, and I'm about to again. See? I was wrong. I should have given up on you ages ago, you are beyond hope. -
I saw a story about that $2million Mario Bros cartridge and I suspected something was up. If this isn't illegal it should be. I mean, this if fraud.

That's the speed of the HDD that comes with the console as standard, so that's probably the one to go for.

I think I Found A Fun MMO - Crossout (If Mad Max Was An MMO)
Shagger replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
Like I said, you don't need to use BBcode. The website itself recognises an image URL then reencodes the image link to display the image on it's own. It's the same with embedding YouTube videos, just copy the link into a post and the website takes care of the rest. I know it's something the "Old School" forum users might not be used to, but it does make things easier. If you encounter difficulties in the future using the site, don't hesitate to ask me for help. -

Shagger replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
@Razor1911 I've edited your post to insert the image you were trying to use. You don't actually need to use BBcode on the VGR forums to insert new images. Just copy and paste the URL of the image into your post. If that doesn't work, you can either click on the "other media" on the bottom right of the imbed word processor where you type you posts, then select "Insert image from URL" and input the URL there... ... or (what I usually do) download the image to your device then make use of the attachment function on the bottom left by either "clicking and dragging the image" from an open explorer tab or "choose files" to browse and find the specific image you want. I prefer this method because it turns the VGR forum into the host site for the image, so the image doesn't disappear if the original host deletes or moves the image. Should improve the quality as well. I hope that helps. On topic, in the UK, we refer to that vehicle as a pick-up truck, and I'm fairly sure the rest of the world does as well.
