@SuntannedDuck2 awesome. the last two chapters are pretty long & the there’s a lot of collectibles so, fortunately , you still have ways to go! enjoy every minute of this awesome game.
also, i need to get split second , thanks for reminding me! i had it on 360 but sold it to gamestop like an idiot. It’s a true arcade racer (unlike forza & the crew) that is sorely missing these days
@Cutmastavictory id argue since 2012, but i get that MW2019 brought a lot of people over that have been needing something to scratch that battlefield itch & a more slower simulator-shooter type game.
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy The digital PS3 version of madness returns includes the original game; i personally didn’t enjoy it, but ONLY because it was just too outdated for me, & it’s clearly a direct port of the PC game, so the controls/movement is very awkward for a game controller. it also doesn’t help that i decided to play the first game after i played madness returns, so i didn’t make it pretty far either (literally still at the beginning, actually 😆).
nonetheless, i do wish i could have enjoyed the first game, because it does look really good for its time. As a matter of fact, both games have stood the test of time graphically - the atmosphere and artstyle of these games are freaking amazing
@KawakiisaFraud as if it ain’t worse already; the ps5 is worse than the ps3 💀 & unlike the ps3 that got better & better, the ps5 has been pretty bad throughout
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy hey, i recently beat alice madness returns and, dude, that game is a f****** masterpiece , i haven’t been wowed like that by a game in YEARS! This is why the ps3 was the best generation (imo)! it’s so messed up that the sequel to it was cancelled because of EA! 😢😢
@PuppetMaster thanks, i might buy a few games today just to be safe, lol. some gamers have a backlog to get through this gen - i have a shopping cart 😂
I don’t care anymore, HD2 coming to Xbox is old news now, it’s great that it’s happening, but i’m super jaded about gaming news/corporate talk right now, because of no new (AAA) IPs that i’m interested in or revivals of dormant franchises
Ps6 will lose to PC , M$ sees what the future looks like and conformed to the PC ecosystem; $ony still thinks the strength of console has the same merit. the PS5 by far and away is no PS1/2/3/4
@Magatsuhi i’m inclined to agree. Aside from Blazblue (which also died pretty fast) & DBFZ that was only fun for a couple months before major flaws became apparent, Arcsys really doesn’t make fun games, imo.
@LazyDaisy plenty of older people play fighting games, maybe it’s just a you thing and you prefer nintendo party games. the only grind you do in fighting games is simply get better, if that’s not for you then by all means enjoy casual games, but to want fighting games to be party games is a stretch
this game’s only gotten better with age! i just beat this hidden gem & it’s amazing! we need more games like this now than ever!! it’s so underrated! 😭
great for fans of the tv series; absolutely depressing for fans of the games. I really want a new twisted metal game and knowing that a tv show is more relevant than the actual game that was cancelled really gets under my skin
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare this. $ony started losing their way at the end of the ps4 era (great gen btw), and when the ps5 gen started, they just went off the rails imo
M$ is playing chess, not checkers.
And NO i’m not “rooting” for M$ or whatever a fanboy might think, im just speaking on the state of the industry. i want all brands to be great so we can have great games, but $ony is too comfortable
just calling it flex or strike would’ve been better , flexstrike sounds too tryhard and also sounds like a failed live service game 😂
never been a fightstick guy, but also never used one either, i’m stuck in my ways with a controller; lm really glad that $ony is supporting fighting games though, so love to see it.
The whole reason gears of war 1 is releasing on ps5 IS because of E-DAY. they want to rekindle interest in the series; it’s all part of the plan. Gears of war 1 is gonna crawl on ps5 so E DAY can walk into instant success on ps5, i hope.
@11001100110zero Couldn’t agree more, PC is easier to get into than it ever was & i have a pre-built😂all i did was “plug-&-play” as they say, lol; bought a monitor, hooked it up, turned on the PC & let windows setup and do everything for me & nvidia auto-optimize for me. I went out of my way to add more RAM (now have 80GB) but so far i’ve had no problems with PC - every game works, new & old. Plus free online, game mods, amazingly cheap deals on games & so many different storefronts to buy them, emulators of games across generations & playing smash bros melee online, super accessibility friendly because PC allows to use any kind of controller you want - playing halo master chief collection with a dualsense, or spider-man with a xbox or switch pro controller is liberatingly cool. PC really is the future!
also, no where else (as of now) can you play games from $ony, M$, and nintendo on one machine
W for gamers except for one thing - When is the goat of anti-consumerism Nintendo, gonna port some games over?
@Wilshiire Nintendo bailed out of the home console space with the switch. Hypothetically, the day Nintendo becomes the only home console maker is the day PC will see the biggest jump in players ever 💀
ugh 😒 idk how to feel about this; i don’t like anime man & im gen z. this anime craze (where im from) didn’t blow up until like the mid to mostly late 2010s despite anime existing since like, what, the 80s? If this is the way for $ony then how about moving Playstation back to Japan and as far away as possible from California where their legacy nearly died.
@zockermiller i’ve already stated that even if developers pull their game from the store that If you purchased the game, then it’s tied to your account & you can redownload it anytime, your account actually DOES have weight . I currently still own the original marvel vs capcom 2 & scott pilgrim on xbox360 to this day & can uninstall and re-download them anytime. i also still have avengers on PC that was de-listed years ago & the mortal kombat collection, do you know why? because they’re tied to my account. Have you ever experienced having your games revoked digitally or know anyone in person that actually has? It virtually never happens & the people that say it does or is going to happen, are always people that don’t like digital - it’s never the people that actually do.
if my system breaks - i can also buy a new one - sign in - & redownload my (delisted) games as long as PSN/XBL exists. As for offline - i simply just won’t delete my games. no different than simply holding on to your discs 😂 & if my system breaks and there’s no way to redownload digital - then that’s what external SSDs/HDDs are for
@zockermiller lol, come on man, seems like you’re really reaching for a strawman 😂 if the hardware fails, just extract the hard drive or use the cloud - that’s what backing up data is for & buy a new/used console 😂 better yet - you could even buy a jailbroken console with emulated games on it! also, digital games are tied to your account so you can download games on any console you sign into
and what if someone steals your disc, you lose it, or it breaks or becomes damaged beyond repair? what if your disc drive stops working?
also sorry but i’m saying it anyway - all it takes is one console update to block the disc from being read . you may own the disc, but you don’t own the console since we’re reaching for strawmans here
@zockermiller I still have my digital wii games & virtual console games - they weren’t locked or taken away from me when the store shut down, i just won’t delete my games; it’s no different than someone having physical copy of their game and then somehow losing it - just don’t delete/lose your game.
On the flip side, Xbox360 store shutdown a year ago & i’m still able to re-download my digital games; same with delisted games on steam, because it’s common knowledge that games you digitally purchase will always be re-downloadable for you no matter what happens to the game or service.
as i’ve said , almost 2 decades later and have had zero problems with digital
I have no answer to the poll other than to remove EOMM from F2P PvP games. For those who don’t know what it is, look it up. NetEase even has a video of them discussing it at GDQ; I first found out about it way back with Overwatch 2 when I knew something was fishy about the matchmaking. I’ve learned now that if a PvP game is F2P, it most definitely has EOMM.
Force-feeding players artificial win streaks and artificial forced loss streaks is sickening. i’d rather loot boxes than a game telling me when it’s my turn to lose or win to force some sort of engagement and emotional addiction 👎 soon fighters will be the only pvp safe from this s*** because it’s one of the few PvPs where you’re in complete control of your own wins and losses without methodically placed teammates of EOMM rigging to determine it for you.
@PuppetMaster good point. it seems like a lot of people don’t actually want to beat games nowadays , they want it to be a metaverse for them that takes a month to finish 😂
