Oh, & I 100% refuse to buy any games that have DEI trash in it. Played the first insomniac Spider-Man game, have zero interest in 2. Was looking forward to silent hill, then found out dei crap is in it so I’m skipping that as well. Horizon forbidden west is full of it but I’m skipping everything but the main story. Only reason I’m forcing myself through that is because I beat the 1st game. Also the gameplay is pretty fun. Sport games are the same game every year so I don’t bother with those. If you played one corporate greed madden game you’ve played them all

Back in the day I loved multiplayer games like bf, cod & halo. Now I can’t stand them. Now all I play are story driven games. Ff7 remake was one I really enjoyed (never played the og). Ended up buying rebirth but I wanted to take a little break before I jumped back into the ff7 world so I’m in the process of playing (forcing) horizon forbidden west (pc) & then I want to give Ghost of Tsushima a go before playing rebirth. But for the most part I try to stay clear from most AAA games unless it comes from Japan. I love Japanese/anime style games

Every one called this man a virg back in the day but now who has the last laugh!

I remember being 9-10 yrs old and wishing my game collection was as big as yours, thanks for the memories and can’t wait for more.

Would ps2 you say is still your favorite system of all time

I've always liked your channel. Glad to see you're still kicking around. Keep making game reviews my dude!

Obsessed, much! Lol

You should add Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel to that list now. Ever since that showed aired all the fallout games have risen.

I live in a remote area where i get 25mb down and 10 up so downloading a brandnew game thats 120gb on average takes me a day if not 2, but with a xbox 360 any patches that they have are under 1 gb, and are pretty much plug and play. Especially for me I missed out on a bunch of games when i was in the Teens that i wanted to play so it's a mix of fomo and a mix of just wanting to actually play and have a nice collection.

Yeah i bought blue dragon last month for 25$ then got a ebay suggestions that its going for 60-70$, same with spec ops the line

I have not bought a new Ubisoft game in years. Only used, and if it is below 20 bucks.

The biggest issue I have with modern games is not the games themselves. It’s the time we live in. Social media has flushed us with so much information about so many games. Most of my gaming experience is simply “I want to beat this game.” It’s not immersion but just to know what it’s about and having finished it so I can get to the next game on an almost endless list. When I was a kid or teen, I had less choices and also less media telling me about all my options, so I focused in on the 6-7 games I got each year from holidays or through borrowing from a friend. I missed out on 90% of games that came out, but I didn’t have the same level of FOMO, because it wasn’t in my face daily about what else is out there I haven’t got to yet.

Max Payne, and Scarface, gems of a time when DEI wasn't turning games into piles of 💩. I replayed this one on the PS5 recently. Runs pretty well.

Dude all respect. THIS GUY FUCKS!

The industry will follow the trends. Nintendo already is. We will be flooded with remakes and remasters for the next 10 years. AAA games will mostly vanish accept with Sony and Xbox will be all live service and game pass.

I somehow always held on to the games from my childhood that had significance. I sold off my gamecube, ps2 and xbox collections but held on to my N64 that my grandparents bought me for my 10th birthday. I have my original gameboy from 1993, and even when I sold my PS2 I kept a few games for some reason. Glad I did.

Played this not long after it got released on PC, I was spooked by the game at first, playing it as a child, but I got into the atmosphere so hard, My dad also played it a lot. and I replayed so much that I know where every enemy is, same with Max Payne 2 and Max Payne 3. Can't really say if I have a favorite Max Payne game, every game is has it's place in the era they came from, and they fit perfectly then and there, Max Payne 1 have this. almost. sentient feeling that you can smell and taste the air in each place, with the early 00s atmosphere by just looking at the environments.

Yeah, I remember playing Diablo 2 on 15 frames, and that was constant, it didn't bothered me.

I totally feel the same. I was actually thinking about this the other day while in the shower. I thought about how back in the day, you really didn't know what type of game you were going to get when buying them. Sure, we had magazines and early forums to discuss it but it was a surprise and the majority of the time, original ideas. These days, yes the graphical ability of video games have advanced exponentially, thr majority are copying each others concept and while I don't mind developers taking inspiration from other games, when you do it excessively like today's market has done, nothing becomes exciting to play. Nothing feels like a surprise anymore. Even when trying to avoid the internet and spoilers for a new release, you kinda already know what to expect. "It will have a cover system like X game, an inventory system like Y game and a story like Z game." We don't have any innovation anymore and it seems like indie developers are taking that torch to make original ideas that triple A devs won't do anymore but it doesn't benefit us older gamers because indie is always small scale. People talk bad about CyberPunk but at least they took some chances. Tried something different and it was demonized because of it, obviously because of quality issues. It scares studios to take risks and they stick to what makes money. I miss the old days...

Dang i miss the 2000s and early 2010s I was still in high school when this was uploaded never owned the 3DS back then but i remember seeing them in stores back in 2011 or 12 for the first time i had the Wii and PS2 back in that time used to watch CZcams on my old Wii back in 2011 couldn’t imagine how slow the internet was on it compared to my phone now insane how far technology has come.

If someone is just hoarding a bunch of games that they never intend to play, then they are doing it wrong, and it's part of what made the retro game scene get so out of hand. Buy what you actually have an interest in. If it sucks and you don't get rid of it, then that's different. You didn't buy it intending to just throw it on a shelf. You gave it a chance. Us old retro collectors (for the most part) amassed our collections over the course of years and decades simply by just buying what we actually have an interest in. Being a player first is most important, and that translates into being a collector. People who buy anything and everything just to show off aren't collelctors. They're hoarders, and they ruin it for the real gamers and collectors.

It’ll be $19.99 in six months

Very nice :)

Still watching, man! You're my comfort channel. I watched you a lot when I was growing up!

When I was a kid my uncle gifted me this game and basically shaped my love for airplanes still to this day

love the ps2, I’ve been playing ssx tricky lately and this weekend I wanna start killzone

To be fair they didnt say there wasnt online.

I think free updates are always a positive thing.

Theres a few reasons why older games are more desirable such as new systems are garbage and newer gamers want to play older games. Im happy to say i have about 2000 physical games mostly older games like 360 and ps3 :)

Yeah, Physical games that are BC with no digital skyrocketed in price. Fear and 50 cent both jumped to dumb prices. Fear being only $5 for most of it's life. If anyone sees this, RIGHT NOW June 19, 2024 Tornado Outbreak is only 4.99 digital. It's a different fun little arcade game, and it's steadily raised in value over the years to around 70 usd ATM.

Games went astray when they jumped from a subculture into being fully pop culture. I feel like games now don't respect your time - open-world games used to be few and far between and would be reserved for stuff like Elder Scrolls or GTA where the open nature of it was a core part of the experience. Now, games are padded with open-world-style stuff just to artificially inflate the playtime. I feel like for casual players, the "go anywhere, do anything" talk became the main appeal of games - anything outside of that is viewed as outdated and quaint. Would love to see a return to shorter games - all killer, no filler - as well as quirkier experimental efforts.

Luckily I found a copy of Fatal Enertia for a pound in a charity shop years ago. It surprised me that the price had increased so much.

problem is price charting only cares about the max prices games sell for, so it's not realistic at all

more volume. can't hear.

Pete could we get a 2024 room tour please ?

Game trials are basically the free demos they gave free back in the day.

This was really really good. The playstation showcase sucked. The xbox showcase had 2 or 3 games that looked good. But i definitely saw some things i want in this direct.... Dragon quest 1 2 3 remakes. The new rpg Fantasian from the creator of final fantasy. Metroid prime 4. Mario + Luigi brothership. Donkey kong country hd . phantom brave . Zelda . romancing saga 2 remake . too much money i need to spend now.

ps, pc handhelds and mobile phones are killing Nintendo

you did not have a lot to say abotu dirge of cerberus

Get box protectors without seams and logos, that's what I do.

Thank-you for streaming this and giving your valued opinion/review on the newest Nintendo direct! 🔥

Yeah, censorship is terrible!

Thanks for the stream. Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts.

We need a 2024 update!

im honestly most excited about saga 2 remake!.... that and the hobbit game of course

Jesus mate you're a bit of a grump, who hates local multiplayer? Playing a game with a friend in the same room? Imagine if smash or mario kart didn't have local play, would be awful.
