Just do a me, and have every console and PC 😂

@@J1mothyyy I do want a Switch, but I'm waiting on the Switch 2/Pro. Xbox I don't care about because I can just get it all on PC.

@paledrake fair, I’ve had my switch for a while now. Xbox I got cause I got the halo infinite edition (it was a fluke after it sold out), and cause I used to get a discount on games where I worked

Unfortunately paying for these services looks like it’s going to remain to be a thing

Fair, and glad to see you’re teaching the next generation 😂

Exactly

See I really miss Baseball, that was my favourite. Didn't play a lot of boxing cause I played 2P and we only had 1 nunchuck for a long time

Fake news? No idea what you're talking about... 😂

That's fair, I need to find and setup my Steam link, so I can play my steam library from bed 😂

Which song? I used a couple lol

@@J1mothyyy Specifically 5:40

Timestamp much appreciated. Also it’s just pokemon music 😂 I just selected a couple from a playlist that were not too overbearing for being background audio, had no idea it was super common

@@J1mothyyy hmmm perhaps i overreacted slightly then my apologies.

@gavinrhodes7645 you’re allgood! I don’t spend enough time on YT to notice 😅 but if it’s in every video you watch I can 100% understand it driving you up the wall haha

Exactly! I've been playing NieR: Automata for the last 6 weeks and have only managed to clock 12 hours 😅

That’s fair, and I don’t blame you for leaving. I only really got into console gaming cause I got a discount at my work on new releases and then just kept collecting 😂

You never saw me explode 👀 Fake news 😂

If you're going to insult me, please provide the links to these 12 month subscriptions, I'll happily stand corrected if I've made a mistake. I also stated that the prices I was working with was based on the fact that you were paying on a monthly basis, and were not discounted. If Xbox wants to make it difficult to find these discounted amounts, then there probably are people who _are paying $10 every month_

Hopefully, I wouldn’t be surprised if the series has another entry on the Switch 2, it sold extremely well I believe

It has miis! They’re just no where as prevalent as on the Wii and Wii U

@@J1mothyyy yeah…can i ask something. should i buy the game

I mean, it’s not a bad game, if you’re looking for Wii Sports on the switch, it’s basically that

Which is crap, but at least it’s not the same price as PS plus and gamepass 😂

@@J1mothyyy you don't get any new games with Switch Online, just the older games. GamePass you get day one releases that would otherwise cost $70.

That's true, and that's what makes it worth it for a lot of people, _if Gamepass has the games you would already be paying $70 for_ That's one of the main reasons why I think Gamepass is better than PS Plus's highest tiers, as you're still not getting the day one releases, and have to go pay $70 still

PS plus is way overpriced for what it is

Exactly

No?

?

Btw the 2-3 games per month accumulated as long as you click to add them to the library, and they dont go away. I’d bn a PS Plus member for like 5+ yrs so if I ever decide to rejoin the PS Plus Essentials subscription, I regain access to like 200+ games that got added on over time as 2-3 “free” games per month. There are a lot in that 200 games list that I still havent gotten to play yet. So there are some days I feel tempted to renew my PS Plus Essentials… 😅

The 2 games definitely wasn't bad, and I definitely will have a load of games if I ever sign back up, but I'd rather just buy the game when it goes on sale for a good price, and be able to play it when I want, rather than pay for 2-3 months of subscription to play half of it, cause I've got no time to play games anymore 😂😭

@@J1mothyyy yep thats my conclusion. I own close to 2000 games over various generations of consoles: Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita, Switch, Wii U, Wii, PSP, 3DS, PS Vita, PS3… And 300 games on Steam and on GoG. That trumps any subscription service any day

Damn, I'm only 940 physical or something 😅

@@J1mothyyy thats still amazing, and wayyy more valuable than a rental subscription 😉👍

I really thought I was gonna be safe 😂

When you’re involved - nobody is safe…

I blame you wholeheartedly for this

Online only isn’t bad! It’s the subscription model that sucks unfortunately

Well actually, online only has it’s own issues, such as what happens when a game no longer has official support, physical copies become coasters 😂 Like Babylon Fall

I don't completely agree that no subscription models are worth it. I think in cases where you don't care about ownership of an item its useful, and why things like Netflix & Disney+ etc. are good. E.g. I don't care about owning movies, and am likely to just watch them once, but video games, _especially multiplayer games_ I am likely to go back to over and over again, or will want to share with friends, so ownership becomes super important to me then, so in that case I agree subscription models aren't super worth it

Online multiplayer I had no idea. I didnt evaluate the stability of any of the services to be fair, but you’re right, it is rubbish. Purchasable would be better, but for the price, it’s not bad. Saving on USB drives should come back. I won’t say the drip feeding isn’t good but there’s likely greater complications than “too hard don’t want to”, but emulation could be better 100%

Why the original PlayStation specifically?

Backwards compatibility with *all* prior systems is one of the only things XBOX gets right these days besides specs (even if the newer games they have on Series refuse to take advantage of said specs, and, in turn, the 3 games the Series has {woulda been 4, but Hi-Fi Rush turned out to be a *timed* exclusive} are all cross-platform Windows games).

@bachilles3285 very true, but it’s also not complete backwards compatibility which is kinda rubbish, so I gotta buy a 360 now 😂

But also I feel like I should elaborate, I fully agree that all PS games *should* (I understand there’s a lot of difficulties to do so easily and effectively) be backwards compatible, but it seems odd to single out the PS1 specifically

@@J1mothyyy Maybe SONY didn't feel like programming the disc drive to read CDs, I dunno. Microsoft did that for the Series X for reasons, so SONY doing the same thing for the PS5 shoulda been a no-brainer.

Agreed, the combat was slow and I also rushed through it, and only finished it cause the Story was OK and I don't like leaving games unfinished. I'd say less ranting, more lightly critiquing and sharing my opinion :)

For how little you get vs how much they charge, it’s not worth it anymore

PSN prices are insane. I got a Series S when that price hike happened when I was ready to get a PS5 lol

@BruhHowDidIGetHere I’m really not a fan of the series S 😂 I worked at GameStop through that release and it really just felt like a shitty version of what already existed lol

@@J1mothyyy Especially for those who only want to play online, which I still believe should be free on all consoles.

Agreed, the fact its not is insane in 2024

Oh I actually didn’t know that, I figured it’d be pretty similar but didn’t wanna get people’s hopes up by accident for a specific game 😂😅

@@J1mothyyy With this in mind, if you really like old games, you can make a second Japanese account and link it to your Nintendo Switch Online family and Switch to get all the ROMs Nintendo offers in the subscription, AND, it’s cheaper than paying for two separate accounts.

I never thought of doing that, but do the roms support English?

I never thought of doing that, but do the roms support English?

@@J1mothyyy No, they’d be in Japanese, unfortunately. If I wanted to play something like Mother 3 I’d have to go learn Japanese because of how heavily text based it is. However, plenty of games have differences depending on what language or console you play it for, so if you wanted to play Super Mario Bros. 3 for example using the Japanese ROM it is slightly different and you won’t need text to enjoy it.

Agreed, Console gamers are getting screwed over

Which one? If you’re saying gamepass, after what Microsoft just did, agreed

@@J1mothyyy ALLLLLLL OF THEM

@@J1mothyyy ALL

Fair 😂 I like Nintendo though cause they’re not screwing people at the moment hahaha

@@J1mothyyy talking about Nintendo service to play older games I can do that myself and better

Yes but, after today, screw Microsoft 😂

80 Free games on Epic and counting

I need to start opening epic again on a regular basis 😂

I used to think it was worth it before the price change (i always got it on discount) for the free monthly games , but I think the only game I ever used that I claimed was Maquette

I love consoles for collecting physical games and playing single player games, PC is for multiplayer games/competitive games/strategy games for me personally

@@J1mothyyy I think I care more about ownership on a technical level than I do physical media. Traditionally physical meant ownership but sadly these days it doesn't guarantee you'll be able to play that media in future because the ownership model has changed. A great (read: terrible) example of this is when the disk has 72 MB of data and you need to download 100+ gigs coughcallofdutycough. I have a Switch with plenty of physical games and it's nice but PS and Xbox just don't really have a place for me personally anymore. Things like the steam deck also might just supplant my need for a portable console like the switch as well.

Ownership is super important, and unfortunately you're right, Physical Media doesn't mean ownership. However, I _am_ a hoarder, and I like collecting physical games. This is an *old* photo of my collection lmao twitter.com/JimJamButt/status/1788125075679666672

@@J1mothyyy that's a dick collection!

Dick? or sick 😂

What currency? And how much is it for you normally if not one of the currencies I mentioned? 😂 sounds like a good deal

@@J1mothyyy USD and it is normally $135. I got it 2/2/24

Oh that’s not bad, how’d you get the deal?

@@J1mothyyy It was just avalible through the playstation store.

Oh damn, I must've missed it/it wasn't available in my region

Thank you!

Ohhh that’s be really cool. Complete side note, this game outsold Spiderman 2, so hopefully they’ll do a Wii Sports Resort remake and add the hub there, since you’re right, they won’t add more sports to Switch Sports

I’d disagree, and say Microsoft is doing better with their subscription. I also think they’re better off dropping the price of extra, I can’t really see Sony doing a full year free. It’ll be interesting to see if Nintendo does anything different with the Switch 2 and if that changes their service at all

Who?

Sony's strongest library was the PS2. And yet they barely offer PS2 back compat. I swear it's like they hate money.

@cyxceven I have a backwards compatible PS3, and a PS2 for a reason 😂

Do you pay for ultimate or console/PC then if you’re just there for the games? It’s more that Sony & Microsoft charge for access to the network that lets you get to the multiplayer servers, so it’s not necessarily the fault of the developers. But I disagree, shouldn’t just be free for first party, should be for all games, they make exceptions for games like Fortnite I’m pretty sure

@@J1mothyyy I’ve used both console and pc although I use the console games more. For some games like CK3 you can use console commands on the pc version then import the save to series x via cloud save. It’s also nice to be able to trial games on the cloud without the need to install them. It’s saved me time not having to rearrange drive space for potentially large games. It would be nice for multiplayer to be free, but the big three have been exploiting their console user base for years and this has just become accepted behavior.

Ooh that's cool that you can do that with CK3. I own CK3 but used my $1 subscription to try Forza 4 out, and play Forza 5 day one. Clouds cool, but my internet is a satellite on my roof (Starlink sucks here so we had to go for something local) and I get 50mb down on a good day 😭 It really is exploiting at this point. NSO isn't so bad but if they put the prices up they'll be just as bad as Sony and Microsoft

@@J1mothyyy in simp terms windows 10 is going to start charging 5$ or upgrade to 11 basically 360 era before their price hikes

Simp terms? 😂 but yeah it’s dumb, Megacorps are bad

The more I look at gamepass the more it’s a good offering, I just can’t justify paying that much when I get to play games maybe once a week if I’m lucky 😂 Been playing NieR Automata and I think I’m 7 hours in over a month or so 😭

Same here, times have changed. Just look at what came out yesterday cause of Sony with Helldivers 2

Just mod the consoles that you own. Its a process but its better than going through this modern gaming BS.

Mod the consoles to play online for free or? Or to get the games themselves for free

@@J1mothyyy Yes

@@GUNS_jk I’m too lazy and I like collecting physical 😂

Damn, he’s really just a cuck 😂

@@J1mothyyy 😂😂

I can’t wait for his angry text when he see’s this 😂

F*** ALL YALL

Hey it's the cuck! 😂

Karma got you <3

You’re lucky I didn’t die immediately 😂

God a Wii Sports Resort Remake with some new games would’ve been so good

Thank you! I wanna check out Wii Sports Club, interesting that they went to the effort of remastering a game you could already play on the Wii U

I've never played Wii Party, lemme track down a copy lol

Copy ordered, video coming when I have time 😂 Wii U party is a little harder to find

I wasn’t aware of any Wii Sports Resort Club ever being planned, have you got links to anything? And what do you mean by “is another video of Nintendo switch sports resort also necessary?” I’m confused 😂

The kinda did a remaster on the Wii U called Wii Sports Club, might try track down a copy 👀

Boxing went hard, they need to bring it back for Switch Sports Resort 👀

Wut? 😂
