Which One Of PlayStation's Consoles Do You Think Is The Best?
I will say the PlayStation 2 (PS2) is often considered a fan favorite. Released in 2000, the PS2 is one of the best-selling consoles of all time, with an incredible library of games, including iconic titles like "Shadow of the Colossus," "God of War," and "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." Its impressive graphics capabilities, built-in DVD player, and backwards compatibility with PlayStation games made it a powerhouse of a console that dominated the gaming landscape for over a decade.
Fortnite Battle Stars Were a More Exciting Way to Unlock the Battle Pass and Should Come Back
Fortnite?removed the Battle Stars Level Up system from?Fortnite. Now, leveling up means players get to unlock a Battle Pass reward. Even though it simplifies how the Battle Pass works, it's not as fun. Before, each type of reward would be worth a certain number of Battle Stars and it felt fair to only spend 2 Battle Stars to get an emoticon but 8 Battle Stars to unlock a skin. Since you have to level up a full account level to unlock a reward each time, it doesn't feel worth the cost when you spend it on smaller rewards, such as sprays and emoticons.
Will You Be Upgrading to the Playstation 5 Pro?
Now that the PS5 Pro's $700 price tag has been revealed, fans can decide if they'll be upgrading to the improved version of the console. Since I have an Xbox Series X, I skipped on getting a PlayStation 5. However, I thought that maybe prices would go down with the release of the Pro model and I could finally get one. Since that is very likely not going to happen any time in the near future, I guess I'll continue to wait.
Opinion: Summons Should Be Included In Soulslike Games
Soulslike games tend to be uncompromising when it comes to having difficulty selectors, and while I think that's perfectly fine, I believe they should at least have summons (or NPC allies in general) available to help take some of the edge off. Elden Ring proved having summons available for almost every boss fight is alright — traditional Souls players could ignore the mechanic completely, but it was always there for everyone else.
What's Your Favorite Superhero Game?
It's got to be Marvel's Spider-Man for me. I know that it built upon the existing Batman Arkham formula, but I'm a sucker for Spidey, and gameplay aside, the story is pretty good. It has so many cinematic superhero moments that really makes you feel like your watching and playing a movie at the same time.
What Game Deserves A Remake The Most?
This kind of falls more under the revival category, but if I were to pick a game to get remade in 2024, it'd have to be Red Alert 2. RTS games aren't as popular nowadays, but if you bring back a genre titan like Red Alert 2 with modernized controls, gameplay, and graphics, it might just make a comeback.
What Was The First PS5 Game You Played?
I, like many others out there, had a hard time getting my hands on a PlayStation 5 console, so I was eager to check it out with a game I'd been very much looking forward to.?God Of War: Ragnarok?was my first PS5 experience, and it certainly did not disappoint!
Why Are There So Many Game Remasters Lately?
I don't particularly mind seeing games get remastered, but I would rather see new entries or total remakes rather than refurbished versions of old titles. Remakes in the same level as the ones for the original Resident Evil games are very much welcome in my book, but if it's just a graphical update that's being sold at full price, then it's a hard pass for me.
What Is a Feature You'd Like to See Added to Destiny 2?
Honestly, I would want the ability to replay all cutscenes, regardless of if that content is still in the game or not. Since Destiny 2 is such a story-heavy game, I believe that the entire story should be contained in-game rather than having to look up cutscenes on YouTube for Seasons that ended years ago.

If You Could Rewrite The Ending For One Game, Which Would It Be?
This one has already come true for me. I absolutely didn't like how the original endings for Mass Effect 3 were presented, and I'm glad we got better closure with the Extended Edition and the Citadel DLC.
What is Your Favorite Raid in Destiny 2?
For me, I'd say it is either Vault of Glass or King's Fall. Both were raids I very much enjoyed in Destiny 1, and I was glad to see them updated and brought into Destiny 2. I still haven't gotten Touch of Malice yet, but I hope to someday.
When Did You Start Playing Destiny?
I started playing back in the First Look Alpha for Destiny 1 back in 2014 and it was practically love at first sight. I had high expectations for the series considering that it was from Bungie, and aside from a few hiccups along the way I would say that I wasn't disappointed.
If You Could Name Your Ghost in Destiny 2, What Name Would You Give Them?
In games, my name has been Hawk for well over 20 years. If I was able to name my Ghost, I'd probably call him Talon. Since a Ghost and their Guardian are partners, in my mind it made sense for my Ghost to be named after the claws seen on birds of prey.
Who is Your Favorite Character in Destiny 2?
My favorite character in Destiny 2 would be Drifter. His backstory and lore are very interesting, and his experience outside of Sol would make him a fitting character for any future campaign. This is especially the case as Codename Frontiers implies that players will be going beyond the Solar System.
What Is Your Favorite Biome in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
My absolute favorite biome is without a doubt the Forgotten Lands. I love the aesthetics of that area, and I always have it decorated for my favorite holiday, Halloween.
Fortnite: What's Your Go-to Landing Location?
From named locations to smaller landmarks, there are dozens of spots to choose from when starting a match in Fortnite. Out of all the locations available in Chapter 5 Season 3, my favorite place to go is Sandy Steppes. I like to drop near Hope's house, as I can talk to her for extra meds or early-game shields and loot the Weapon Cases, which tend to have high-rarity loot.
Opinion: Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Shouldn't Be Marvel Themed
Fortnite has had a Marvel-themed season before (Chapter 2 Season 4) and that's more than enough. This opinion isn't based on the fact that we've had plenty of Marvel collaborations throughout the years, it's because collaboration Battle Pass themes shouldn't be a thing - they should be exclusive to event passes. For a while now, most bonus Battle Pass skins have been crossover cosmetics; this is a bummer for fans who don't really care for the franchise in question, and it demotivates them to work towards pass completion. The main Battle Pass should solely include new skins that are exclusive to Fortnite and related to its unique lore rather than crossovers. All in all, crossovers are great, but they should stick to a separate pass that appeals to those who enjoy them.
What Disney/Pixar characters Do You Want Added to Disney Dreamlight Valley?
For me, it is a toss-up between Winnie the Pooh or more obscure characters like Taran from The Black Cauldron.
How Many Fortnite Skins Do You Own?
Whether they were Battle Pass rewards, giveaway goodies, or purchased cosmetics, how many skins do you have in your Fortnite locker? According to my locker info, I own a total of 252 skins in Fortnite. If you're not sure how to check how many skins you have, go to the Outfits section in the Locker tab and then select Options; underneath the Filters section, your number of skins will be displayed beside the "All" option.
Do You Still Remember Your First Solo Win in Fortnite, What Happened?
I got my first solo win in (Chapter 1) Season 3, and unfortunately, I don't remember much except a few details; it happened in Tomato Town, I was wearing the Rogue Agent skin, which was the only one I had at the time, and it was quite underwhelming. I had been trying to get a win for weeks and it finally happened because the other person died to their own rocket.
Fortnite Players, Which Do You Prefer: Build or Zero Build?
When Zero Build became a permanent game mode in Fortnite, many players stopped playing Build mode altogether. In my opinion, building is what sets Fortnite apart from other games, so when I play by myself, I exclusively go for Battle Royale. However, I have to go Zero Build whenever I play duos because the people I play with refuse to play with builds.
Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Players, What's Your Family's Household Name?
While attempting a Legacy Challenge in The Sims 4, you'll have to stick with the same lineage for a while, so a household's name becomes more important than ever. The last family I played to try to complete this challenge was the Scary Household. However, when I got to the third generation and my favorite Sim got old, it became hard to enjoy playing new Sims so I set it aside.
Should Fortnite Bring Back Cosmetic Item Rarities (& Why)?
Epic Games removed rarities from its cosmetics in the Item Shop and Locker tabs, as it felt that it didn't make sense anymore to categorize cosmetics this way since there were so many different types of items in Fortnite. I believe it is much harder to find cosmetic items in the Locker than when you could separate them by rarity. Now, they're just bundled together, making it difficult to tell me the apart and find a cosmetic in specific.
Unpopular opinion: Fortnite Reload Doesn't Need Respawn
Fortnite Reload gave players the opportunity to return to some of their favorite Chapter 1 locations in a smaller version of the OG map. However, in this LTM, gamers respawn during the early game and teams can only be fully eliminated if the entire squad is taken out before the others respawn. This led to players rushing others with no risk at all as long as one of their squadmates stayed back to ensure the entire team would be revived. This lack of consequences makes the early game pointless, as it is nearly impossible to loot for better weapons and keep them in your arsenal for more than a couple of minutes. In my opinion, it would be best for Fortnite Reload to feature more teams rather than have the same teams come back endlessly until the late game. How do you feel about Fortnite Reload respawn feature?
What's Your Favorite Annual Event in Fortnite?
Some fans felt that this year's summer event felt somewhat lacking. Nevertheless, Fortnite tends to take most annual celebrations quite seriously, especially Winterfest and Fortnitemares. Out of the events that take place on a yearly basis, which one is your favorite?
What Are The Most Memorable Easter Eggs You've Found In Games?
There are games that are full of little easter eggs, and many of them are quite famous, from the Megalodon in Battlefield series to the Secret Cow Level in Diablo, and the plethora of secrets in Call of Duty Zombies. A personal favorite of mine is the literal heart of Liberty City that you can find in Grand Theft Auto 4. It's creepy, it's bizarre, and it's everything an obscure easter egg should be.
Which One Piece Characters Would You Like to See in Fortnite?
Fans have been asking for a One Piece x Fortnite collab for ages. Over the years, rumors have popped up here and there, but so far, it hasn't happened. Nevertheless, if there's ever a One Piece crossover event, which characters would you like to be featured in the Item Shop or a mini event pass?
