Admittedly I have never played a Street Fighter game but the trailer looks amazing. Is the game out yet? If so, how is it? I do like Mortal Kombat so I will probably like Street Fighter too I imagine.

Yes, Street Fighter 6 is already out and it's as good as they can come. It's way better than the 5th release of the game. It's one of my favorite fighting video game genre. The gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is incredible. If you enjoy playing MK, you will love the game too.

AI will have a huge influence in most industries in the near future, hopefully a positive one. Worst case scenario, AI takes jobs such as game developer jobs. But of course, as has already been mentioned in this thread, it could create jobs too, such as testing and ethics. Let’s hope it’s the latter. 

This is exactly how I see it too. Yes, there's a very big potential as to what AI is going to bring to the gaming industry especially when it comes to helping with game development and production but with time, they will start costing so many pros their job in the industry.

I'd like to get into the hobby, just like I would with vinyl records.   Anyway, it would probably be all Nintendo.   It might be a few years before I start getting into other consoles.

There are definitely so many to collect on Nintendo depending on which year you wanted to focus starting your collection. It can take more than 5 years before you can wrap it up and go for another console.

I wouldn't say I am the best at any games I play but with me playing a lot of Fortnite, I will admit that I do see improvements and such the more I play. 

There used to be a time where I would play Fortnite and I would die so easily, now I play much better and am able to get wins often which I would say is improvement 🙂

The more you play a particular, definitely your performances in the game is going to improve tremendously. This is actually why I love replaying some games whenever I can because I know that I would be getting more better at it. 

I recently got into playing World of Warships. It have been a nice game for the last 5 days I've been playing it. It seems I'm going to be playing it for a long time. 

For me, it's definitely going to be Kingdom Hearts 3 that's a game which I regretted playing. This is because the game was one of the biggest disappointment I've seen in gaming history. We had to wait 14 years to finally got the game but it was worse than Kingdom Hearts 2.

My favourite genre is sports. Whether it be a sports ‘action’ game such as FIFA, or even sports simulation games such as Football or Cricket Captain. I enjoy those games too.

Personally, I used to love playing FIFA games a lot but over the last couple years, FIFA games no longer gives me the appeal to play it. It's only Top Eleven Football Manager that I've been playing for 7 years now.

I play free or cheap games and that's about it since I'm not much of a gamer. Many games on my Steam account have sat there unplayed. I'm mostly attached to a small handful of games.

It's definitely not right to spend so much on video games which you can't make out time to play all of them. It's a complete waste of time and resources. If I were in your shoes, I'd do the same thing too because it's the smart thing to do.

Of all time, there’s lots of contenders, but currently it is Call of Duty: Cold War. It was released for free a little while ago and I have played it a lot with friends. 

A lot of gamers are so much into Call of Duty gaming franchise. It's a big shame with what Activision Blizzard have done with the game recently because after Call of Duty Vanguard, the game started losing its real CoD touch.

I don’t have a fixed budget. There have been times when I’ve spent a lot, and I mean A LOT, on in-game purchases but nowadays I don’t really spend much or anything on games anymore.

What happened with me is that I no longer play as much as I used to, so this helped to drop down on my budget. I have got other bigger fishes to fry which impacted on my gaming time, so I won't have to spend more on games when I can't play them all.

Some of my top recommendations would include "Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn" for its epic narrative, "Final Fantasy VII" for its unforgettable characters and world, and "Planescape: Torment" for its philosophical depth. If you're looking for a more recent classic, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" delivers a modern RPG masterpiece.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is definitely a great recent classic. I've been playing it for a while, although I haven't completed it. I'm looking for something a bit more old, so I would most likely go with Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. I believe that will do for me.

The thought of "The Simpsons: Hit & Run" making a comeback hits me right in the nostalgia feels. Back in the day, I spent countless hours exploring the quirky streets of Springfield, causing mayhem, and cracking up at the game's humor. It was a delightful blend of the beloved TV show and open-world gaming. If there's a chance for it to return, whether as a remaster or an entirely new adventure, count me in! Revisiting that world with the Simpson family would be like catching up with old friends. I'm all for it, as long as it retains the charm that made the original so special.

You're right about how good it felt causing mayhem in the streets of Springfield. It's one thing that makes the game super fun for me to play back in the days. It gave the same feeling like what I got playing GOAT simulator somehow but The Simpsons: Hit & Run was more epic.

I have never played Destiny 2 so I wouldn’t know but there is a mobile game called Clash Royale which gives you a lot of free tiers when you buy their pass.

There was another game I played which was Top Eleven Football Manager, there are some offers in the game which you will complete some tasks to earn tokens in Top Eleven Football Manager. Clash Royale happens to be one of the games that you can play in those offers. It was how I knew about the game and played it.

I would say my favourite car is also the Red Bull R19. Not only is it the best car in actual F1, but also in the game. Talk about being realistic! 

This car Red Bull R19 is a beast in both the Formula 1 game and real life of the sports. It's always my first pick whenever I want to play Formula 1. Although, I don't used to play F1 more often now, but whenever I do, I enjoy racing with Red Bull R19. 

Unfortunately, we can't be 100% sure yet until the Gex Trilogy Remastered have been released. How the game performs is going to play a big part in determining whether there's going to Gex 4 or not. Personally as a Gex fan, I definitely wish to see Gex 4 soon. 

Unfortunately, I haven't aven’t played Palia yet. Although, I will admit that you're right about some people playing the game already. This is because I see from some of my friends on Discord where it shows they're currently playing the game. 

I was recently in a Gex gaming community where I heard about the update on the release of this new Gex Trilogy Remastered. I was so impressed with the development because we gamers have been expecting this for a very long time. I will either get it on my Playstation 5 or Nintendo Switch.

How did I only just find out about this now?! Me and my friends wanted this bad when we used to play Fall Guys. Maybe it is a reason to get back into the game. It certainly adds a different element to the game. 

When there are too many video games that you're playing and following up on, there's always a possibility of missing out on one or two games that you're interested in playing but waiting for the update to come out. Well, there's still time for you and your friends to get back into playing the game.

Nicolas Cage is awesome and any movie or now game to have him is very lucky. This is great news for Dead by Daylight fans. I’m sure he will bring a lot to the role. 

He was introduced as the Survivor of CHAPTER 28.5: in the game as a Half-Chapter DLC. 

Have anyone managed to play it yet?

I think there has to be a balance. Too much action in a story game kinda defeats the purpose of the story but too much story and not enough action would be very boring and defeat the purpose of ‘playing a game’.

Exactly mu point! There's no way you would like a game that's just all long story. It's definitely going to be one hell of a boring video game to play. If it's just too much action, it's not going to make much sense.

I don’t collect video games but I collect a lot of other things and now that I think of it, it would be fun to collect video games. Maybe if I can find my old PS2 and Xbox 360 games I’ll start a collection! 

What are the other things which you have been collecting apart from video games? Personally, I've been collecting football jersey of both clubs and national teams. I have quite a good collection already.

I prefer third person! First person shooter games are also good but I feel like I have more control over what and how much I see in third person - hence I liked games like Fortnite and GTA V a lot.

There are some video games that are definitely better in 3rd person than first person. Just like GTA V, it wouldn't have the impact it did with being made a first person shooter.

I’ve played Minecraft but I hadn’t heard of Minecraft Legends until now. What’s different about it compared to the regular Minecraft? Is it worth getting? Asking for a friend! 

The main difference between them is that Minecraft Legends focuses on large-scale battles and real-time strategy gameplay until the main. You will put in enough work in building Minecraft mobs and fortifying different villages to battle the army of Piglins.

Didn't even get close, though to be fair, there were too many big title games.

Yeah, that's true. At the beginning of the year, it seemed there wouldn't be much bigger title but we later saw bigger games that was very good. Let's see how 2024 releases are going to be.

The first three games on PS1/PS2, after they hit the 4th game if I recall right, it started to become this shooter/nothing but fighting game which was sad since the first three were about exploring and learning stuff.

I think it's because gamers preference shifted more to games with shooting and fighting that made them change the game's narrative towards this direction of trend.
