Toxic Gamer Entitlement Is An Absolute Myth!
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Video Games
He makes a lot of good points, and I agree with most of the video. But a lot of the blame falls on us as gamers. Yes developers are putting out unfinished and broken games. But we're BUYING them. If we were to NOT buy them, then the entitlement of game companies would decrease significantly. They're sitting there thinking, "We'll just put out half of what they expect. Who cares if it crashes? They'll still buy it." The more money that is thrown at a major corporation the less they work. Or maybe it's the less they try. Either way, they give us shit, and we sit there and take it. We want quality, but they just say "We'll give you what we give you." How many games have been so short that they were easily beatable in one sitting? How many games are notorious for crashing? How many games make an anthill go 😳🤯 We're partially to blame for them all kissing their own asses. -
Cosmetically, it was an attractive system. It was also the first console to feature DVD capabilities. The backwards compatibility with PS1 games was also a major plus. There's really nothing bad that I can say about it. I unfortunately missed the era due to reasons I won't get in to. But with everything it featured, and everything it was capable of doing, it was one of the best consoles ever released. I doubt anyone will even try to argue that. And it still holds up today, 3 generations of consoles later. I honestly feel that it laid the groundwork for future disc based consoles.

What game that everyone loves could you just not get into?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Skyrim and Witcher 3. I’ve tried several times to play them, and they tend to bore me more than anything. -
YouTube channels with cool video game essay-style analyses?

Why do so many video games feature tragic endings?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I've known since I was 2 that I'm the only one I can count on. That doesn't do a lot to boost your strength or drive, knowing your entire life that you have no one. -
When Contra was released on the NES, it was revolutionary. A game like that hadn't been seen before. People were buying it up and loved it. Especially since it was during the Iran-Contra scandal. That really brought things home for a lot of people.

Why do so many video games feature tragic endings?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
The problem with that is, that a lot of us are set up for failure. We're never offered a chance. We're kept down when we fall, and no one cares. And many actively try to keep us down. -
What brings you back to a game time and again?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I would say the memories, but the only ones I have involve beatings. I come back to the same games because I want to escape into that world. I want someone to care. I don't want to sleep with a loaded rifle. I don't want to be looked in the eye and told that I should have been aborted. And the escape takes me out of this world and into another one where none of that ever happened. It doesn't exist. I can be the antagonist or the protagonist. And in a rare case, both. But above all, I get to stop being me. -
The white Arabian is up by lake Isabella. The warped brindle is near the Wapiti reservation. The red chestnut is by Owanjla lake.

Does it bother you that you can’t resell digital games?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
It bugs me a bit I guess. I have a few DDL's on my Switch that I don't play anymore, because they either abruptly stopped (not ended, STOPPED) or they just ended up boring me no matter how good the trailer looked. But I refuse to delete them since I paid real money for them. But if I could sell them, then believe me I would. The only way I can think to sell them would be to transfer the file to a different microSD card and sell the card. I don't know the legality or ethics of that, but it might work. -
How do you choose your difficulty settings?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
If I'm new to a game that has difficulty setting choices, I go with the easiest setting first so that I can learn the game mechanics and how to play it. After that I go for normal or hard. -
I see this thread blowing up BIG TIME, so I recommend you pin it so everyone can find it easily. I don't know jack shit about modding unless it involves a Game Genie, so I will most likely never post in this thread again, unless there is a game I want help to mod, but still, you should pin it.

A little bit. If you watch the first movie (cheesy as it is) it tells the story with a lot of embellishment.

It's one of the greatest games ever made. It has a little bit of everything you could want. It has a powerful storyline that really immerses you into the game that includes just about every aspect of life you could think of. Not including modern technology, of course. Before you realize it you will have been playing for hours and hours. It is so drawing that I can't seem to get away from it. I actually talk about it too much here, which is seeming to get on peoples nerves. Which I totally understand. But, I just can't say enough about RDR2. If you want to get rid of the bounty hunters, head to a post office or train station and pay off your bounty. Once it's paid they leave you the hell alone. The train station at Emerald Ranch is always a good choice, because they don't really show up there much. Also, catch yourself one of the Arabians. Those are the fastest horses, and they have the highest stamina. Rocks have a higher IQ than the horses, and the damn things WILL trip over grass (trust me) but they are the best for running from someone/something. There are 3 wild Arabians, but the white Arabian is considered by most to be the best one. Personally I like the red chestnut, and the warped brindle. If you have gotten to chapter 4, you can also buy one in St. Denis. It runs about $1000, but if your honor is high, the price is discounted.

A few of them look good to me. I picked up a new game the other day for my Switch. It's sweet as hell so far.

Due to my feelings about Walt Disney himself, I refuse to ever go to Disneyland. I absolutely HATE antiSemitism. I won't tolerate it, and he was on par with Adolf Hitler.

When I wear out something to the point that the condition is unwearable, I usually turn the t-shirts into dish towels, and the jeans I give to my brother (not blood) to use when he works on his cars. He is always needing rags of some kind, and he loves denim. His wife, my sister (again not blood) hems the denim pieces all the way around for him so he doesn't get strings of the fabric in the engines. Recycle, reuse, reduce.

It sounds like your PS3 is about to meet the ferryman. Give it a coin and send it on its way.

One thing you have to note, is that when you enable these cheats, you can't save your game while any of them are turned on. When you turn them off, I'm sure you will lose the progress you made, as I haven't used them yet. Some aren't unlockable until you reach a certain chapter or complete a certain stranger mission. I think they're supposed to work in the online mode as well, but since I don't game online I don't know. To unlock them, you have to type them perfectly. They're not case sensitive, but any punctuation that is shown (except the dashes) is required. Periods(.) commas(,) exclamation points(!) and question marks(?) are required or you will have entered an invalid code. ************************************************************************ BETTER THAN MY DOG--- Calls horse from any distance A FOOL ON COMMAND--- Arthur Stays drunk all the time with no hangovers VANITY.
