Running video games (and consoles) thread

My man.

Totally agree. The gameplay mechanics and feel of MM are better than the first game, without question. Some of the suit powers make you OP but I don't mind that (I like games but I'm not a gamer looking for the Dark Souls challenge).

BTW, Cyberpunk 2077 already hitting the $30-$35 price tag. What a waste.

 

How kid-appropriate is the Miles Morales game?

 

So my seventh-grade daughter has been on a Switch primarily. We share a five-star island on ACNH. My house is at 160,000.

I got her Zelda on Black Friday almost a year ago and she decided to give it a go over the holidays, and let's just say Zelda is a total gateway game.

Now for her birthday, she wants a desktop to play Genshin and up her Minecraft game. I already have a guy who will build the PC for her and upgrade it as she grows.

Zelda...

 

My 13-year-old played a lot, and I mean a lot, of Minecraft over time but never transitioned into other games until I finally let him have Fortnite this past summer with COVID nonsense and everything else. He's freaking addicted to Fortnite, go figure, but it is also a good avenue for him to be social with friends. But it did give him the motivation to try BOTW again, he did a while ago and never really got far, and he's completed the story two times now -- took me like three months! (Granted I did a lot more playthrough than he did.) He also got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for Christmas and enjoys it. So Fortnite was kind of his gateway to others interestingly enough. But it's also still his priority. He almost only plays on the Switch because he can take it wherever.

 

How young of a kid? I'll admit, I still haven't gotten to it, but if it is along the lines of Spider-Man it should be fine. My 9-year-old hasn't played but watches me play and I have no issues with it, cartoony and super hero violence. Nothing gory.

 

Also great about Miles Morales - it memes really well.

 

It’s fine, I think. I let my 8-year-old play it. Some instances of saying hell or damn, but I don’t recall anything worse.

 

Thank you for the responses. The video-game freak is 6, he can't help who made him. And Spider-Man is his deity, not David Krieg.

We do a few of the Lego games, but smashing a guy into pieces is smashing someone into pieces.

There's a free game on the server called King's Quest, we play the shit out of that too.

 

PS5 still nowhere to be found in these parts. Disappointing. Have the money set aside but I'm not willing to drop a grand on eBay for it.

 

King's Quest like the old Sierra game?

 

You need to follow certain Twitter accounts. They get word a few minutes before drops. I saw the tweet at 3:07 for a 3:10 drop.

 

Indeed. It's smart and fun. Good for a kid.
