Were you affected by the Microsoft Azure outage?
Have you ever had a game stolen from your collection before?
Years ago, one of my older brother's friends stole my copy of SIlent Hill on the PS1. It was my original copy with the artwork and everything. I had to find a loose copy out in the wild to replace it with. It really annoys me cuz I...
How much have you spent on a game before?
For me? Not counting limited editions? I've spent about $180 on a single cartridge before.
What's the most you've spent on a game before? Was it a collector's edition?
Shaun Weber has been pretty accurate in the past. I'm really not a fan of battle royale games and wish this trend would die out. But the gauntlet mode looks interesting. I like idea of competing to complete mission versus each other. @Cedric do you have thoughts on this since you've been playing?

More LOTR content is always welcome news, as long as it isn't like the Golem atrocity previously released. I will say, given the fact that Abu Dhabi Investment Office is involved, doesn't give me much confidence.
Any of you play a game and it doesn't click until years later? I just had that experience with Ghost of Tsushima. I bought years ago on PS5, and then again on PC and it never clicked for me. Not sure why, maybe it was the combat. I started it again recently on PC and now I'm plowing through it...

As someone who has been a gamer from 3 years old, I have many memories of playing video games with my brothers, my cousin and also my mum and dad over the years.
One memory that stands out for me is when my mum bought me and my brothers Yoshi's Island for the Super Nintendo. This game I...

They just increased the Ultimate plan by 50% to $30/mo. No way I'm paying that. They need to add the entire COD catalog, plus include a free WoW subscription at that price point.
What's the most brutally difficult game you've ever attempted to beat? I'm talking about those games that made you rage quit, throw controllers or question your gaming skills entirely. Was it something notoriously hard like Dark Souls, Cuphead or maybe an older NES game that had zero mercy? Did...
Do you like to play strategy games, what kind of strategy games do you like to play? How often do you play strategy game? Well, I am a big fan of strategy games, especially Real Time Strategy games. My favorite RTS franchise is Age of Empires. I also like to play Total War. I frequently play...
Are you a fan of Silent Hill franchise? Have you played all games, what is your favorite one? I have played a couple of Silent Hill games and I very much like Silent Hill 3 and 4. I haven't played Silent Hill F but this is something I am looking forward to play soon.
Which game franchise do you want to see revived from the dead? I would love to see WildStar come back. It was an MMO that was ahead of time, but failed to capture an audience.

Full recap:
My favorite update is that Forza Horizon 6 is going to Japan! Really liked Horizon 4's UK setting, not a huge of fan Mexico. I have full confidence in the Horizon team.

What an absolute travesty for these game developers. Hopefully Steam comes up with a better deal. They really should spotlight the game for 24 hours after this.
Let's face it, you can't like every single game you play! There's tons of games out there, sometimes we get a game on a whim because the gameplay looks cool or a friend recommends it. Then you go and play it, but it just doesn't click for you. What games did you end up getting but not liking...
Do you do mobile gaming, what games do you mostly play on mobile devices, what are your favorite mobile games? Well, I don't do a lot of mobile gaming but I sometimes play games on mobile, especially when I am outdoors or on the bed. These days I mostly play Genshin Impact and Asphalt 9 Legends.
When a game becomes too challenging, I don't give up easily. I tend to continue a few more times , but when it feels like the game is sucking out the fun, I will back off immediately. I should be enjoying the game rather than punishing myself to death.
I have recently been addicted to Baldur. The amount of detail that was put into that game is unbelievable. The kind of replay value it has is what I have been looking for in games for a while. I get engrossed to such an extent that I don't even know that I have spent such a huge time on it .
