What is this thread all about??
Just general discussion. Stuff on your mind. Talk about hobbies, health, God/scripture, news, help, current topics, theories and predictions, whatever the case may be.
This is the second of what May be many, let’s see how it goes
Random thoughts of the day.
So, I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2 lately. Basically GTA with cowboys. A lot of shooting and stealing and rustling and animal hunting.
Graphics are fairly advanced.
Every now and then I feel guilt for killing fictional beings, due to the realism of it.
I have to wonder what these types of games do to our souls?
I have both games myself (Xbox). That’s a good question and never really thought of it that way. Then again, I don’t really play video games much anymore. I always preferred racing games over shooters anyway
That's fair! What are your favourite racing games?
I always preferred the Forza Horizon games. Just drive around fast and fuck around lol. Wasn’t a huge fan of the forza track games as you’re only limited to driving a track… booooaring
Nice. I used to enjoy Need For Speed Underground back in the day. Enjoyed a lot of the older arcade/console racers from the 16 bit days too.
I'm 33, so when I was a kid my games were like..cartoons. up until Goldeneye for the most part - your enemies weren't even human, and neither were you. It was all fantasy and fun. Gta3 was the one that really opened the door. (Which came from same people as Red) thar wasn't the same kinda "gaming" I grew up on.
But kids of the last couple gen? They get pumped with a new call of duty quicker than a covid booster. I don't play anything newer than 360 but even by that time... most games main objective is ...kill. and they try to make it look realistic as possible with graphics now (don't get me started on VR)
Yes.
I empathize with all kind of bots, lol.
I don't play video games much at all due to time. When I do I play Risk of Rain 2 which is a FPS where you kill stuff, loot, kill a boss, then go to the next level, all as fast as you can. After you clear the boss and hit the teleporter to open the next stage there's a brief idle time where you can kill any stragglers and possibly take the money from the kill with you to the next stage. I always just chill with the enemies and make them come up to try to attack me, move out of the way and let them live.
You can play the game without being cruel. 😁
Edit: I've wanted to get RDR2 a lot. It looks like a blast. I just know I won't have the time for it, so I abstain. A little jealous of you. 😂
