What games HUD distracted you the most? I've been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn after playing Ghost of Tsushima and I can't stop thinking about how much information they're throwing at me at one time. And do prefer having less and checking menus? Or having everything presented all the time

Hey you guys, What's the best logo in gaming? Is it the old green minnmax logo?

Hello DovahKings and DovahQueens. A while back you had Sarah Elmaleh on the show, and she coined the phrase "hipster-ass" gamer opinion. So what’s your hipster ass gamer opinion? A take that’s so cool no ones thought of it yet. To make a Bethesda related question, am I the only one who wished Bethesda made a “vanilla build” mode that turned on the funniest glitches? Don’t get me wrong I’m glad they fix their game breaking bugs, but one of my fondest memories playing a Bezda game was getting yeeted into space by a giant. Cheers and avoid getting yeeted into space by giants, AnAttackCorgi

I was watching this most recent episode of Trivia Tower and I almost broke into tears of guilt when you were telling the story about how your neighbor erased your Legend of Legaia file. I literally did the same exact thing to my brother when we kids (I was probably 6 and he was 9). I should not feel too bad because he spent much of our childhood erasing my files out of retaliation for minor things. Other than Ben's story, do the other MinnMaxers have similar stories? Thank you for bringing up Legend of Legaia, it is an underrated PS1 JRPG classic.

Uhhhhh... MINNMAX! I've bought so many bethesda games and could never get past like 20% of their campaigns. Prey, Fallout, Skyrim, heck even Doom. Is there any 1 game that I should ABSOLUTELY return to, or should I just move on. Thanks y'all

Hey cohorts, I know you guys like to keep it positive, but what’s a game that left you disappointed? For me it’s Borderlands 3 I found the characters not that enjoyable. The villains were annoying. The writing in general was pretty bad. But also the gameplay, every gun felt the same to me. Shooting enemies wasn’t fun, half the time they wouldn’t react to getting shot. I stopped playing after I made into the second area. Anyway thanks for all you guys do! Keep it up

I wrapped up Arkham Asylum just over a week ago and loved revisiting it, yet found myself wanting more as the credits rolled. I decided to give it some room to breath, and waited a week before jumping into Arkham City. Yesterday, I finished replaying that and immediately booted up Arkham Origins. At this point, I can seem myself finishing this and going straight into a replay of Arkham Knight! My question for you, cohorts: when was the last time you found yourself unable to put a game series down and ended up chain-completing a bunch of titles in a row?

I feel that The Evil Within is underrated it’s honestly one of my favorite games and I don’t think it gets enough attention. I hope they bring the second one to gamepass because it genuinely has one of the creepiest first two hours of any horror game out there. P.S. I’m very excited for GhostWire Tokyo as well

South Australia- Howdy Bors hows it goin. Long time listener, first time writing in sorta thing. I just finished watching the trivia tower on YouTube (It was very fun) There was an Age of Mythology map shown. My brother and I love this game and still play it to this day. Sometime we would have games where looser cooks tea (tea is dinner), does dishes or whatever. My question is have you ever had a time where you would wager chores on video games or *sub question* Best 1v1 experience. Please let nostalgia guide you. Thanks for the good times

Hello! Talking about Bethesda games is a great time to talk about level scaling, where enemies are adapted to the player's level. The upside is that battles are always challenging, but the downside is that the player never feels powerful/weak and exploration is less exciting. Morrowind did very little of it, Oblivion infamously did very strong level scaling, and Skyrim tried to scale it back a little bit. This issue still hasn't been completely solved. What are your favorite solutions, and where should this go in the future?

Doom (2016) isn't that long. It's worth finishing. I was just telling a friend the other day how I've played Skyrim three separate times. First on PS3, where I put 25 hours into it but the game started crashing (and I was only maybe a quarter of the way through the main story questline). Second on Switch, where I mostly just messed around with it using the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and clothing. I just downloaded it again via GamePass and told myself that this will be the time I finish it. We'll see if that pans out.

This isn't exactly what you're asking, but Last of Us Part II has it in a sense. The accessibility options for that game are insane, and can get very granular. It's not true level scaling, but you can adjust the enemy difficulty to whatever feels just right to you, whether you want to steamroll everything or have every encounter be a life-or-death struggle. I think that's the direction it should go--make level scaling a modifiable accessibility option. Semi-related, I learned a few years ago that if you grind to level 99 in the original FF7, the final bosses scale up to be much harder. Knights of the Round and the magic duplication stuff still obliterates them, but if you fight the last battles at level 98, you're completely overpowered. If you hit 99, it amps up the difficulty. Nothing else in the game scales as far as I know.

Hey Cohorts! A certain gaming publication once called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the greatest RPG of all time. Now that it's been nearly 10 years since the release of Skyrim, do you agree with that ranking? Has your opinion changed since the aforementioned publication published their top 100 RPGs list?

That's very interesting. The Elder Scrolls games also had this, a very granular -100 to 100 difficulty slider, which I think was born out of fear that the level scaling could go wrong if you mess up your build. Also, really nice FFVII fact.
