MMGN writes: We don’t “officially” celebrate Halloween in Australia, but the holiday is slowly weaving its way into our society. While we’re a long way off getting an actual holiday for it -- but it’s probably more deserving than Queen’s Birthday -- there’s certainly no shortage of costume parties, “trick-or-treaters” and horror film/game marathons taking place every year on October 31. Let’s not kid ourselves, though: it’s no where near the level you see in the US.
Nonetheless, it’s a great reason to dive into a gaming scarefest, and I’ll probably dive into some new horror games and maybe even a classic to “celebrate” whatever it is Halloween is supposed to be celebrating/remembering/acknow ledging.
What are your favourite horror games? Here are mine.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
