My Gamer Confession: I’m a Loot Goblin and I’ll Play Anything with Loot.
That is until a better piece of gear drops and you’ve have to scrap the old gear. Honestly, it’s a lot of busy work and an endless circle. You’ve got to manage resources, your money, inventory space, go into the field to find materials or gear to scrap—it’s a lot but that’s part of the enjoyment! The hunt for great loot and the fun that can be had while trying to improve it.

Who knows, maybe that’s an easier way to get to a return of any kind of EverQuest. I mean, the lore and gameplay is already there and players do rock with this kind of ARPG. They will buy the battle passes, season passes, and expansions. You just have to give them something that is flames.
Judge Dredd and America’s Last President: Robert Booth
So, a lot of the nonsense and insanity that goes on in Judge Dredd and the nature of the Judges running Mega-City One and other megacities? Yeah, an unhinged President Booth is the root of it.

But your only means of survival was evading the Ghosts until you got a power pellet. In a way, PM was a proto-horror game that became a bit of a fantasy adventure once you could fight back. The game spawned a franchise which didn’t see any actual story until 1994’s Pac-Man 2 and 1995’s Pac-in-Time which had to get away from the maze and puzzle approach so that a story could be explored.
The First Two Episodes of Speed Racer Really Set the Pace for the Series.

However, my favorite thing in these two episodes comes in episode two where Speed explains the buttons on the Mach 5’s steering wheel and what they do. It made this car seem like a Japanese version of the Aston Martin from the James Bond films of that time. It was introduced in such a cool way in this very fast-moving series—and we would get to see these abilities in action throughout.

Now, some games might come off as dated if you played the recent ones but most hold up on the gameplay and storyline front bar for the story in Ghost Recon. Far Cry has gotten better with story and you can tell Ubisoft really utilizes their cultural team to make sure even the fictional location is authentic its real-world inspiration during a specific period.
The Mixed Reaction Around Assassin’s Creed III was Always Interesting.

It’s to the point that the first two games just feel clunky and stripped down when I go back to play them. The stories themselves still hold up but everything just felt dated gameplay-wise. The original plan was for it to end at ACIII but with future games focusing on Layla Hassan—and Hassan hanging around for several games—I can’t help but think that Desmond didn’t have to go out like at that point.
The Cruis’n Series Would be Out of Place Among Modern Racing Games.

With the kind of racers that are normally on Nintendo consoles, Cruis’n is pretty dated and in relation to racing games now, it holds it down enough in arcades or play places but it just didn’t get it done in the last two console ports. It just seems like Nintendo should handle the development for consoles but there’s often a quick turnaround between the arcade release and the console release—and Ninty takes its time with game development.

My fascination with Maneater comes from putting to the theme with this game style and coming up with something that works and is playable—and I love stumbling across games like this.
