10 Video Games That Could Seriously Damage Your Health

WC: It’s a well-documented fact that our video games are trying to kill us.

Now that I’ve got your attention, let me explain. Unless you’re a very, very avid reader, you probably didn’t know that every Nintendo 64 game manual came with a hodgepodge of small text, warning you of the dangers associated with this new technology called “3D gaming.” Oh sure – Goldeneye 007 might have seemed like an innocent mass-murdering James Bond simulator, but under those happy shooting soldiers and those carefree explosions were the tools to give gamers square eyes! Maybe. I didn’t read the warnings.

Fun and jokes aside, video games are no different from most hobbies out there. Sit down, check that your batteries are charged and remember to stretch your legs now and again and you’ll be fine. But if you think that strapping knives to your wrists while playing Assassin’s Creed is an awesome idea, maybe read this article first. ‘Cause the next 10 games have hurt more than just in paying money for.

If Square Enix & Nintendo are his hometown what does that make Xbox?

The red light district, where games go to w**** themselves for Gamepass cash.

Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.

I just really want a new Lost Odyssey, or even a proper remaster with some QoL updates. Though I'd also love to see him work with Square on a new IP.

Profchaos18d ago

That's about as good as a confirmation that we will see ports to the switch2

Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.

I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…

Probably, but this game is bankrupt in every way imaginable, so it's a non issue.

Most likely, they steal other ideas on a regular whether it be game modes, character concept designs etc and now they're likely going to start utilizing ai to put less work in for maximum profit.

Snookies1241d ago

Their AI probably stole it accidentally, and they just went with it lol.

One of the Biggest Call of Duty Cheat Providers Is Shutting Down Thanks to Activision

Activision has shut down two major Call of Duty cheat providers, with one company issuing a statement about it.

Get rid of all of them. I played a little cod mw2 today and there's still a few cheaters here and there. Their Superman split second reactions to everything is the biggest giveaway that they're cheating.

I played against a cheater a while ago, who went like 100 kills to 15 deaths. I, and my teammates, reported him. He entered our next game, and we all said we would report him again, and his gameplay was entirely different. Not only was he in the negatives, but his split second, Superman reactions, went away. No perfect shots from across the map. No diving, proning, and quick aiming super fast. His aiming wasn't as perfect, and he wasn't able to spam his gun and shoot as fast as before.

The cheating is so obvious, it's not even funny.

thorstein60d ago

On MW3 I was seeing a cheat that highlighted all players on my team in an outline regardless of where we were. We could easily be detected through walls.

I guess Activision can do something right for once.... like a broken clock can be right twice a day.

The best thing would be to move everything mp related to the server so the game would be 100% stremend no local files to mess with and add a controller/keyboard mouse checker.

The cheating will always be there sadly until they remove local mp files

jznrpg60d ago

One goes down another will replace them. Unfortunately if there money to be made it will be there.

While cheating in online games is just wrong, the way to get around any legal trouble with games, fan remakes etc. your site on the dark web and accept crypto, you will be fine.
