GoldenEye 007 is still one of my favorites. And watching speedruns of that game is even more interesting.

I think the reason why Bitcoin is so successful is that people actually put faith, and thus put value in the cryptocurrency. Without people, Bitcoin doesn’t have value, and the same could apply to real currency.

Didn’t know about eSports and its connection to the Olympic games. That’s news to me.

The part about mobile games being easy to access but less powerful is kind of true, but it depends. Phones have gotten better over the years, and a phone such as the newest iPhone 13 could outperform some computers from the last decade.

Haven’t really tried any new war games from 2021, but war-themed classics like World of Tanks are pretty good. Would say World of Tanks is accurate when it comes to the tanks themselves and what they’re based on.

Haven’t played Resident Evil 7 Biohazard VR, but VR games are definitely great for the adrenaline. If you ever played Beat Saber or Thumper for VR, you would definitely get a rush of adrenaline.

There’s a lot of history to video games. I feel like if it weren’t for Nintendo in 1983 to renew interests in video games to the American market, things would be much different. And looking now, Sony is one of the biggest player in the video game market, mainly because the PlayStation was more that just a video game console — it was also a DVD player, and movies on digital formats were a big thing in the early 2000s.

One thing that relates to all of these is, if you want to get a high-paying job related to video games, you’ve got to be passionate for it. It’s pretty much true with any kind of job. For instance with video games, a lot of content creators on YouTube and Twitch creating videos or streaming are generally committed and enjoy making content.

Last decade’s been kind of rough for MMORPGs. With competitive gaming being mainstream in the 2010s, MOBA has been dominating the video game genre, and now you’ve got Battle Royale. Wonder if new MMOs like New World even have a chance to change the dynamic.

Hardest thing I find about controlling gaming addiction is when it’s a game that you invest time and money on. Once you do something, you just keep doing it, and it can sometimes be detrimental causing you to spend even more time and money on a game (especially if time and money on a game is what keeps progress — like winning). So I generally play short games and free-to-play games.

I would probably enjoy some of those games like Lonely Mountains Downhill. I’m not so much a fan of video games based on traditional sports, but racing games are different.

It’s kind of crazy how many sports games there are for some video game series. I’ve only played one FIFA game on the PS2 several years ago, and I’m surprised companies like EA Sports still keep up the annual release of sports video games.

I’ve yet to see a successful MMO that utilizes VR technology. Maybe VRChat is the only exception, but it would be interesting to see if newer MMOs, especially MMORPGs, will take the VR approach.

Looks like a neat game. It’s not everyday that I encounter a samurai game, especially one that’s open-world.

I think the biggest difference between 20 years ago and now is the online aspect of gaming. Back then, people just played games whenever they could, and would socialize more with other people in real life (even play games with other people, like on a GameBoy).
But now that everyone’s connected to the Internet, gamers find it convenient to play games all in one sitting and join game servers with online friends.
Mobile games are indeed influential to gaming, but the online aspect is probably the most influential.
