    Justin11 reacted to Yaramaki in Sony vs. Microsoft   
    Both have their good and bad sides, sony has always been master in getting the maximum result out of their competiters mistakes, they won 2 generations that way. They already won with the ps4 before it even launched since microsoft fucked the launch of the xbox one so bad it hurts my eyes when i think about it.
    I've always been more of an xbox guy then a playstation fan, surely i like both but if i can play a game on xbox that's where i will play it. This has nothing to do with being a fanboy.
    The original xbox was the first console i bought on launch day with my own money i saved up for months ahead, had to go trough hell and back to get that money haha. Since It only felt the logic thing to do after the dreamcast died and there were so many sega exclusives on the og xbox it made sense for me to get it. Ever Since then i stuck around with xbox being my platform of choice. Does it really matter no because i end up buying both xbox and playstation consoles anyway

    Justin11 reacted to m76 in Good bad games   
    There are lots of bad games out there that are simply terrible and not worth anyone's time.
    But occasionally there are some that are objectively bad or even broken in some sense, but still enjoyable. Have you encountered any such game?
    I've seen several of these over the years that I've had fun with.
    The oldest I can remember was Car & Driver all the way from 1992, which was a game published by EA long before The Need For Speed, and actually used the exact same formula, it was just based on a different car magazine, Car & Driver obviously. (The first NFS was made in collaboration with Road & Track). I loved how the game menus were made like pages of a magazine, it gave a lot to immersion. But unfortunately the physics of the game was some of the wonkiest I've seen, it was utterly terrible. Another fun fact, this was one of the first games I played that supported SVGA resolution (640x480).


      The next one that stands out for me is another Racing game, but one released 10 years later: Street Legal Racing. This game was meant to be great, but it was published by a budget publisher, and the developers bit much more than they could chew. They wanted to make a game much more complex than what fit in the publisher's timeline and budget. So the game released unfinished, broken and buggy. What has set it apart was the extremely detailed simulation, the game actually simulated the fluids in the car like coolant, fuel, etc. And it had a damage model that beat everything that came before or after until BeamNG claimed that throne. It also had extensive car upgrade and tuning system. The game become a cult classic and still has a very active community with lots of mods available. Most of the games kinks and bugs were fixed in several patches and a re-release, and the developers kept supporting the game long after the publisher bailed. But of course it never achieved mainstream success, and the developers gave up on trying to do complex games soon after.  The company is still around actually but only makes mobile trash since 2009, the original devs on the ground long since left the company. Fun fact: One of the devs turned up in the credits of Driver San Francisco, last I saw.

    I've had countless hours of fun crashing and harassing traffic in the game, and trying to build the fastest cars.


      Splinter Cell Double Agent This game was probably the most broken AAA game I had ever played, but it had some such unique mechanics and novel ideas that I enjoyed it despite of it being a buggy piece of trash. Since I wrote a full review on the game way back when I'll link that instead of going into more detail here:

      The last game for now is Alpha Protocol: The greatest bad game ever made! This is another game I wrote a  full article on so click for details:

    xD, Capcom have done their best by given us RE series that has been in existence for over 20 years. Let's appreciate them for that, even if they've failed somehow due to inability of releasing further DLCs and remakes in some of their video game that wasn't up to par of what we expected.

    Justin11 reacted to StaceyPowers in I love the percentage completed feature in PS5   
    I skipped from PS3 to PS5, so I don’t know if PS4 has this, but I love that PS5 shows me the percentage I have completed of each chapter of a game when possible. It makes it so much easier to pace myself as I am closing in on the end of something. It even offers time estimates. As a result, it is much less likely to wind up in the middle of a final boss fight way past when I want to be sleeping.

    A bit more of GTA Online on the PS5. The E&E edition didn't have a lot of improvements but I have to say that the 60FPS mode is very fun to use. The game looks good and feels amazing. I'm looking forward to going through the new content that I didn't pay attention to before as well.

    I got your point, even though we are trying to make it more competitive than what other previous editions offered in the past. But still, it shouldn't be drawn out nominating a roaster of names in a pointless manner. But everyone still have their choice, I did mine and nominated who I craved for. I am waiting for the voting to get underway soon. I am not hoping to win, I just want to see how this gonna turn out to be, to see if the voting counts supercede the previous editions that aren't up to 20 votes overall.

    It wouldn't change, trash game will always remain trash no matter what, that's why I don't get to delve into a video game without a proper review.

    Truth be told though, there's not much more to add right now, seeing as how Capcom has yet to give us any real update.

    Yeah it’s always best to wait and see. I think the series needs some sort of historical perspective since Witcher 1 and 2 were only on PC or Xbox and most people don’t understand the lore of the series.

    My videos show up pretty clearly. And ads aren't a problem if it's a small channel that isn't monetized. If you want though, you can always get YouTube premium. That's what I did. It removes ads from videos, among other things. And it's only $12 per month. Since I spend so much time on YouTube, it was more than worth it. I don't even watch TV anymore. I just watch YouTube.

    For my PS3 I don't buy CD games anymore, but when I was buying I prefer used, because I swap with other PS3 gamers. Which doesn't cost a dime, it depends on the agreement we had, at times I balance the other gamer some money to have his CD, and same too for me at times.
