I have reservations turning them lose on the online gaming for Playstation or Xbox given the limited I've heard in person a countless accounts of racism and sexism out there. I know how I was as a kid, I'd play by myself so much I'd start to get woozy from hunger, dehydration, or lack of sleep. I don't really want that for them, but rather that then the bombardment of some of these shmucks online with their swatting ****. Get a Switch. Mario Party Mario Kart Smash Brothers Switch Sports Minecraft New Super Mario Brothers Mario 3D World. All great games that kids enjoy and can play simultaneously. And as mentioned, Splatoon is also a great multiplayer game, although I don't think you can play it locally and is for online. It's a "shooter" in the sense of the gameplay, but it's super non violent and there is a lot more to it than just splatting the other opponents. It's also nothing like Fortnite. My 7 year old plays all of the above games and has been playing some of them since he was 4. I have played many of them with him too.

Cause I play MUT and haven't had any issues with bugs/glitches that I can recall that would impact the gameplay. Kids Games - pokemon games, just dance, toad treasure tracker, super mario party, mario sonic Tokyo olympics, minecraft Swatting - unless someone gives out personal info (real name, address, city, etc.) on PS/Xbox online, is that a thing on console gaming? I thought that was more of a PC gaming thing where people hack others to get their personal info, then commit the crime. 7 hours ago, PokerPacker said: Does Splatoon count as a shooter? I'd say yes, just because it does track kills, but its fun as hell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I am getting completely side tracked right now in God of War. I am on the level with the crater and holy crap there is A LOT of stuff to do side mission wise. And one of the things I did was unlock another area that I think is completely optional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are so many different ways to play that I'll probably do another playthrough soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Started playing the 2018 God of War last night. I forgot how much fun it is. Doing New Game +. Needed to get back into the story before Ragnarok. I have forgotten a ton of it and it’s feeling like a new experience for me. I’ve always loved this franchise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 To be fair, we're lucky that prices have stayed as they have for so long. I remember paying $70 for some SNES games back in the early 90's. Same with on N64 later on in the 90's. And games are so much more complex right now and cost so much more to make. The difference is the volume they sell now is so much more than it was back in the day so there is kind of a balance of sorts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting out "patches" does not make a game incomplete because they are fixing QOL issues and bugs. I am in the software industry and can tell you that there is no such thing as bug free software. DLC coming later on also doesn't make a game incomplete. I have purchased song tracks for Beat Saber. I also chose NOT to purchase some of them because I don't like some of the songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The argument I was (clumsily) trying to make is that games are now too often rushed out early and are broken and seem to always need patches and/or are incomplete (and thus DLC was sold later). But perhaps it's solely a money grab on the DLC...and the ability to fix bugs (that somehow weren't caught in the many many years of game creation).

Yeah you aren't wrong about some games being rushed out, like Cyberpunk was, but that is what I'm referring to when I say I don't purchase those "incomplete" games. And based on your last comment about fixing bugs that weren't caught, you clearly are not in the software industry lol.
