Exactly. You'll feel less guilty if you spend two hours gaming by spreading them out throughout the entire day rather than gulping them down at a single time, won't you? Plus, I think they're designed to make you play several times a day for ads and stuff. They're deceitful, but let me tell you...

Tough choice there, but I'll got with the first Ratchet & Clank. For starters, I love Insomniac Games' style, and I especially loved how the game never took itself too seriously. Furthermore, the gameplay was handled pretty darn well, and the space setting satisfied the sci-fi fan in me. The...

Grinding means the end of all high difficulty settings, honestly. The developers expect a certain character growth without weighting in grinding (as if some high difficulties weren't frustrating enough), and they program the main dungeons and the enemies' stats accordingly. After all, in their...

Yeah, I agree on that, I just wanted to make a mention to the original topic. I guess introducing videogame novelties does make things more fun, and thus improve gamers' life, so as long as they introduce new fields to explore and develop that's fine to me. That's the entertainment market, anyway.

Yeah, me too. Then I read all they do is connect their console's cables to the capture device, which is then connected to the PC through USB and that's it. SD quality is enough for standard recording, but dropping a hundred bucks for a decent HD recorder sounds reasonable for a Youtube channel...

I haven't played The Witcher 3, but I get what you're saying. A similar thing happened with an SRPG, Fire Emblem Awakening, on Lunatic difficulty. The first three chapters or so are truly infernal, and you're almost required to follow a common path to succeed: however, things get progressively...

We're on the same boat then, haha. I'm not sure how much videogame novelties can improve one's life, though, so...yeah, maybe it's good to stay a little wary and wait and see how these new technologies develop before jumping in.

How old is "vintage" exactly? It takes a lot of time for the price of old consoles to go up, because most of them sold an enormous amount of units, so it all comes down to supply and demand. PSX and PS2 are still pretty (relatively) cheap in thrift shops and eBay, and even older consoles like...

Well, most times they were just a minute long, tops, so I'd just use my phone to record it off the screen. However, I once recorded a game I was playing on PC with FRAPS (it's free if you don't mind the little watermark on top), and it was pretty easy to setup. If you want to record console...

Yeah, most times it's all about the initial setup. I wouldn't say it always ends up being a cakewalk, though, but having access to more equipment and gears opens the way to many exploits for sure. Old games could balance it out more easily because of the restrictions imposed to items and...

I suppose the Nintendo Switch has really bewitched me. It's mostly because of the games that are going to come out in the following months or years (Prime 4, that major Pokémon game, Mario Odyssey and all that), and I know that I'll find myself drooling over it. Unfortunately, I don't have...

I took it surprisingly well, looking back at it. I've never been particularly competitive, and most times my brother and I played co-op games when we could. Even when we played against each other, though, we always did it for fun, so losses were easy to handle. The same thing couldn't be said...

I find this happening way more frequently with mobile games. 5 minutes easily turn into 30, add them up for each time it happens and you've got yourself quite an impressive burden on wasted time. However, if we're only talking about single sessions, I'd go with any metroidvania game. Finding new...

There's one game that truly embodies the idea of "useless game". It's called "The Most Expensive App", it came out last year on Android, I believe, and it costs 350$. All it does is display a diamond once you open it, and that diamond isn't even shown in the app's preview screenshot. Great...

I have never recorded my gaming to upload it anywhere, but I have a few bits here and there, but they're just short funny/interesting clips I wanted to show to my friends. I'm not good nor entertaining enough to handle a YouTube channel, so I've never even approached the idea. I probably would...

The two go hand in hand for me. I have fun when facing a reasonable challenge: if you take away the difficulty, I can only feel pleased for a short time before it gets boring. Unless the game is structured to be messed with, thus leaning more towards the creative side, you can't keep playing a...
