Some of these knives are priced in thousands of dollars and that’s just insane to think about, but when you are able to make an in-game economy around them then it doesn’t sound too far fetched.

The bizzare knife really does look amazing!

This global epidemic that is going on right has lead to people having to find ways to spend their time inside their homes. My guess is that things are going to stay like this for a long time.

Every game during it’s existence will experience a situation like this. “This game is dead” players shout and developers are like “What are you talking about?”. These kinds of situations attend to be exaggerated most of the time when a game is very popular.

I think there are a bunch of random things that trend on Twitter (some are expected, but others tend to be unusual), and sometimes certain things trend to garner attention, cause virality, bash a game franchise, create some form of activism, etc.; it’s just part of Twitter’s strange and broken ecosystem and their poorly implemented algorithm.

Like for instance, the moment someone sees “#RIPFortnite” trending in their country, you’ll have opponents saying stuff like, “What do you mean #RIPFortnite?” or “There isn’t a #RIPFortnite” and those hashtags, even though they’re being used in opposition, just feed the Twitter algorithm more and create a cascading effect, and eventually the hashtag starts trending worldwide.

When big companies outside of gaming industry get involved, the results are going vary a lot.

I would rather play games with Easter-themed events compared to something that just focuses on a single thing.

Some of these may be simple but they seem fun for a change

I think they’re interesting, though they aren’t exactly the kind of games I would necessarily look for. I feel like younger kids would play these kinds of games. Personally, I’d be more interested in Easter-themed game modes (something intricate like prop hunts).

Rockstar has given freebies in Grand Theft Auto Online to players to pull them in.

Welcome bonuses have always been a nice way of engaging with newer players. I’ve been noticing more games that have them, and I think it makes sense to have welcome bonuses because it gives newer players more chance to learn about a game and also encourage them to stay longer since players will often feel compelled to try out those bonuses to experience the game.

Hearthstone is all about numbers and finding solutions to your problems.

Human resource machine sounds very interesting !

These games seem to be helpful for the younger generation too

Very basic games for studying. They probably wouldn’t help much with getting through studies of more advanced concepts, so I really see these games being more suitable for younger kids that are especially unenthused with learning; like maybe a kid isn’t interested in learning biology, but playing Spore sparks interest in learning biology.

If you really want the best games for studying, I think the simulation genre is the best genre for that. For instance, I know some physics students that play with Universe Sandbox, when they’re stuck on physics homework, and playing this game kind of jogs their mind.

Streaming can also gain you some money to maybe help you with paying bills.

Would love to earn some money playing video games! Streaming does sound pretty interesting. I love technology and social platforms !

I could try streaming too, been wanting to for a while..

I learned a little bit of English by playing video games before I started to study English. They can help you develop skills early on and learning a language can be one of them.

Online games and their communities have helped me develop confidence in social interactions and good online behaviour too

Tetris is so popular that there are many different versions of it out there with their neat little gimmicks.

I would’ve been too young to experience playing Rocks’n’Diamonds, though I think I’ve played games similar to it. It’s so easy to find clone-games. But Tetris is definitely a game I remember; it’s so simple yet so fun. You have many variants of Tetris (NES Tetris, Tetris Effect, etc.), it’s the most popular game of all time, and there are even Tetris tournaments held annually.

@Heromangyu12 that’s true. There are so many versions of Tetris that you would have to write another long-read article to know all the details.
Seriously though, I like seeing their new adaptations for the new generations. Like the Hello Kitty one, it’s so cool to see such a fundamental game being reborn again and again! I grew up playing Tetris and I always remember feeling soo exited when I was allowed to play this game! How cool is it that younger generations get to have it? But I have to say that this list is missing one thing: Microsoft Mahjong! This game is a legendary one and so many games have been based on its logic!!

MMORPG genre is still alive and there are good MMORPGs out there like Final Fantasy XIV Online and The Elder Scrolls Online. World of Warcraft is also relevant with the release of World of Warcraft Classic and there is a new expansion coming to the retail version called World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. I will also mention Runescape because Runescape 3 version got a new skilled added to it called Archaeology. Runescape also has a classic version which goes by the name Old School Runescape and it should explain itself pretty well.

I have heard of this “virtual” boxing and it’s just normal boxing but without an audience. A global epidemic like this will lead to such solutions to solve a problem. Esports will definitely see an increase in viewership because a lot of people are stuck inside their homes.

You have to do what you have to do, I guess. Lockdowns have made it harder for people to play or watch sports, and it just isn’t the same these days because it’s easy to feel disconnected. I feel like sports are on a major decline, because there hasn’t been a lot of sports out there (due to many cancelled events) and many people aren’t even allowed to engage in sports despite being beneficial to good health, whether for fun or for competition. Like if you can’t attend a soccer match or play a game of badminton, is there really any point to tuning into sports anymore? Virtual sports is definitely an alternative that’s been around for a long time, but it just isn’t the same.

I like that weapon The Smashinator )

I would love to get the smashinator, it has the true vibe of an ogre’s weapon. Personally also excited to see modernized ogre weapons and future additions !
Glad to be a part of the Gameogre community 🙂

Very nice!!!

Ow, i really like It.

There sure are many ogre weapons in AQ3D and I would mind new items being added someday which aren’t weapons.

Get good enough to be part of a team and get in there and win esports tournaments!

Anthem didn’t really turn out that well.

There are a lot of Dota tournaments out there be it major or premier.

A controversy over tattoos in a video game? There was literally a controversy over an emote in Overwatch so this isn’t something that surprises me.

Pretty much all video games are being played more because people are stuck in their homes.

It’s kind of hard to believe that China would have increase mobile game downloads (in the millions) considering they have one of the strictest governments in the world which pretty much bans most of the Internet; plus Huawei phones (which uses HarmonyOS) dominates most of mainland China which I’d imagine would have less compatible apps. But considering the sheer size of China in terms of population (~1.4 billion people), it would seem reasonable to expect millions of game app downloads.

Starcraft has become a very popular RTS game series.

It’s the gameplay that makes a game fun to play, not the graphics even though they can improve your experience.

Might as well add Minecraft for games to play with a local area network; I consider Minecraft to be the best game you could possibly play on LAN. When I was at school, people in computer labs would often connect to LAN servers in Minecraft and it was often fun playing with people we already knew, collaborating to build things together, or downloading and playing some of the earliest battle royale / PvP survival maps like Survival Games or The Walls 2. Far better experience than many other LAN games in recent memory.
