Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Beau Skunky  
I’ve seen people use “pointless gimmick” type arguments to refer to anything that isn’t a mobile game on a iPhone… Type of people who believe that the desktop computer should be phased out and console gaming should be done as “gaming as a service” with streaming services like the Google Stadia…

@Ping_chan  
I refuse to believe those people exist outside of those who profit off of that change and those paid to think that way.

@Meanlucario  
Or rather, those that “would” profit from those changes, were it not for the fact that their customer base can see it for the money-grubbing scheme that it is.

@Meanlucario  
The ones that I dealt with come from a completely different walk of life, they are the ones who believe everytime Apple does something new its the damned most innovative thing ever.  
As I type on my android phone and keep hitting wrong letters on my virtual keyboard, I can’t help but wish my phone had a physical keypad like the blackberry did…

@Silent_Witness  
You have more faith in people than I do.
 
@Ping_chan  
Oh, that type of people.

@Ping_chan  
Which is ironic, because back in 2005 when the DS first came out, some used to try to argue touchscreen gaming was “stoopid/gimmicky.”
 
Heck, could you imagine if gamers like that existed back in the 1980s? “Why does this controller have a cross/D-Pad, and two buttons? It should just be one huge joystick, and one button!”
 
Streaming/downloading games is probably the future whether we like it, or not, but personally I would kinda miss owning games, and such. Luckily, that’s still popular with collectors.

@Beau Skunky  
Knowing how anti-fangame Nintendo is, once they’re aboard streaming-only, they’re fully aboard.

@Wiimeiser  
In fairness, there’s still loads of fangames Ninty hasn’t nixed, (and not like they’re the only ones, Square/Enix nixed that Chrono Trigger HD remake, and such.)
 
Nintendo only seems to use streaming for retro games so far though. Regardless, some seem to prefer/miss buying/downloading/owning the retro games via Virtual Console. So additional purchase options would be nice too.

SO, i finally completed an entire year on atomicrops.
 
But to my surprise, spring of year 2 did not follow winter, but instead i was thrust into Nuclear Winter, and was attacked by a horrible God of Undead Vegetables that i could only harm by harvesting yet more crops under heavy fire.
 
But i prevailed, and unlocked year 2 for my troubles.
 
I even managed to get married.
 
And unlock the cat trader.

@Beau Skunky  
When it comes to streaming games I believe it will come down to having control of the game itself, it’s like when I argued with someone who played Fallout 4 on their console at home and I was describing to him about the fun I have with mods, while I was admitting that installing mods took some effort to get working correctly, because some mods might break things if they don’t play well with other mods and you have to pay attention to the load order, he admitted that he felt using mods was like cheating and he only plays the games how they are Supposed to be played…  
But yah I think there’s also a push in the industry overall to take the responsibility away from the consumer to make sure they have all of the latest patches for their OS or their games or whatever and manage everything remotely.  
It’s like they don’t trust the consumers to take care of themselves and it’s somehow better for them to trust everything to the cloud…  
Something tells me that companies like Nintendo will sleep better once it becomes physically impossible for “hackers” to steal their games and pirate them online.  
I was like “okay…”  
Even tho I was trying to argue the issue about a single player game “who cares!”  
I later found out that he’s Obsessed with high scores and how quickly you can beat a game and he wants integrity in how someone beats a game, because if he beats a game correctly, but someone else gets a bettee time than he did he would suspect them of cheating….

I am surprised that there is sill existing team squads inside the multiplayer of MW2.

I need some serious help!
 
Okay so I have a phone, with unlimited data and a hotspot and I continued to face this problem over and over, when I connect my hotspot to my PS4, it will obtain the wifi address but then it will say DNS error.
 
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.
 
What do I do? Can this be fixed?

@That1GuyGAMER18  
I personally haven’t touched my PS4 in awhile, but usually it just works, I have had trouble getting the dang thing to go online using hotel Wi-Fi before, but that was because it didn’t provide functionality to view a web browser to accept the hotels license agreement.  
Are you using a Android phone or are on AT&T?  
Because AT&T has never enjoyed me using Wi-Fi Hotspot sharing on my phone for free…  
Do you have other devices using the Wi-Fi on your phone also? Or is it just your phone and your PS4?

@Ping_chan  
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy, I used Metro PCS
 
It’s just my phone, and my ps4

@That1GuyGAMER18  
I’m not that big of a expert when it comes t fixing problems with the PS4, but I’d start with finding another device to test the Wi-Fi first, like a tablet or a laptop or someone else’s phone, just to double check that your Hotspot is working correctly. My Android phone doesn’t have much when it comes to Hotspot settings, usually it just works or it doesn’t.  
There was one time when it wasn’t working tho and I had to completely erase the settings for my Hotspot and make a new one with a totally different Hotspot name, because everything that used that Hotspot remembered it’s old name and the settings that went with it.  
So you can try doing that, erasing all of the Hotspot settings and make a new one with a new name.

I’m probably going to update my graphics card next year. Maybe my cpu too. They were cutting edge in 2016 but that was a while ago.

@Ping_chan  
Alright.

All of Xen is out in beta, which means Black Mesa is more or less complete(in beta), and the full release is imminent. After 7 or so years the remake of Half Life 1 will be out of early access.

“Hopefully it will have been worth the wait.”

Maybe it’s because I’m playing on a new hd tv, but god i want to make blankets out of nargacuga’s fur.

River City Girls is a great beat em up, but with a trashy story.

Wouldn’t be nice if the release date of the Cuphead DLC was announced during the VGA? It is basically the only thing I’m waiting for that doesn’t have a release date yet other than the Steam version of CTR (and Freedom Planet 2, althought I’m not waiting it as much I used to do)….
