Apparently right now it's that the Resident Evil 4 Remake isn't as good as the reviews make it out to be.

I've played the original RE4 more times than I can count across three generations of systems, one of my favorite games of all time. But for the life of me I just can't get into this remake. Movement and aiming feel off, staggering enemies seems like random chance. Updated graphics and strafe aiming (in line with Dead Space) is what I would've expected.

We need LESS games.

Don’t get me wrong, the gaming market is a lot more diverse now, and the plethora of options is a good thing. However, with the eight generation of video games, more and more games started releasing in unfinished states, because developers have realized they can prey upon the naïveté of the consumer with the vague promise that the games they make may or may not be fixed half a year after release.

Think about it, you almost never saw AAA games release in such unfinished states prior to the PS4 Or Xbox One. Games need more time to be developed, and I don’t understand why consumers are in such a huge rush to play the next big thing, when the vast majority of gamers haven’t even played the classics.

That’s how I see it anyway, my backlog of games I have bought but not played yet is so large that the gaming industry could probably come to a screeching half for three years, and I in those three years I probably still wouldn’t have gotten through all the games I have

A bit early in terms of his age? I doubt it. If he loves minecraft, he’ll likely like any game minecraft. just explain to him this isn’t the “building” kind of minecraft. It’s fairly simple and straight forward at the start so he should get it quick

My 6 year old and I beat tower mode the other day and had a ball. It allows them to make simplistic decisions in terms of items. He was reading all descriptions and made some clever decisions on his build. Definitely wish I could get him into d4 but it’s not age appropriate

Live service is a good thing for a lot of games. Some of my favourite games are from years ago that frequently come out with new updates and seasonal content to keep it fresh.

It's forced into some games that don't need it but think it's a net positive in the industry.
