I’m old and have had and played every console since the Odyssey. This channel is all about what games and systems I’m playing at any given moment and what I think about them. Less technical and more how things feel. Please like and subscribe and also feel free to share these videos to help the channel grow. Peace and thank you.
Transbot was so repetitive… there was no ending to the game! The “mega” cartridge games were almost always better than the card games, although “My Hero” is one of my all time favorites.
With all the publishers MS has bought they can make a nice transition to a big 3rd party games company. I think they will always mark Hardware but I think they realized they lost that space as it is as you said why would someone buy an Xbox. One thing that baffled me is Game Pass on PC is 12.99 for day one releases but 19.99 on its own console. So they are even undercutting their own gamepass subs on Xbox. I think they positioning themselves like Netflix for games, they just announced a play anywhere campaign with game streaming, they are bringing over 1st party exclusives to PS5. Will we see Xbox Game Pass on PS6 like EA access and Ubisoft + I dunno but it looks like it is heading that way if they want to make back that 80 billion they spent!
@@WorryWartWorld Phil said it couple years ago, they lost the most important generation with the XBone. Broken clocks are bound to be right twice a day, he's a great speaker ill give him that. I was a HUGE Xbox fan stood in line 10 hours for my xb360 & I sold my xboxone for PS4 games. They've been way behind the 8-Ball for a long time. If Xbox was any other company they would have sold off all assets in 2015-2016. I believe Microsoft gave Phil a timeline to fix it or its Turing into full publisher 3rd party doubling the size of the others. He said they need 100+million subs by 2027. Were not that far away.
2:00 it's only the Xbox evangelicals that believe this. It's the same thing with the 1st/3rd party distinction what matters is exclusive content but when you don't have that or it's not up to snuff you have to deflect. Xbox fans are like the kids on the playground with an everything proof shield. 3:17 Nevermind the fact that you'd be abandoning your established digital library to presumably rent games for the rest of the time you're using the console. 8:10 hard disagree about Aloy I feel like she's a stoic female character which we don't see a lot of in media in that way she's pretty unique. I'd much prefer that over her being quippy like Nathan Drake or Spider-Man.
I just can’t get into Aloy and her monotone delivery of every line of dialogue. The world and particularly the graphics of Forbidden West are the best I’ve seen this gen overall.
Hmmm... I agree that sometimes guilt by association can happen. But a large problem with The Mediums perception was the fact the game was incredibly dated with tank controls. That was first game I was introduced to Bloober and seemed very budget. They certainly defied my expectations on SH2 and Chronos looks fantastic. As for Concord, read the RU-vid and Blog comments. Many called it GotG rip off from the Second trailer. Then called it an Overwatch rip off. Tbh, I mainly seen praise on Twitter. And it's sad because it being a Intergalactic hero shooter has the perfect setting for guest characters, skins, and/or maps themed from their own IP. Their live service games should incorporate more crossover content that's appropriate, from their own IP
yeah the game sucked whether it was on gamepass or not. it did eventually go to pc and ps later on. story was boring and the switching between the two worlds was annoying. also, it had performance problems.
Gameplay should always be last we play game that look good not to have fun. Storyline need to be at same level as Hollywood and same level of censorship.
You might not look like it but you´re talking like a soy boy, the remake was 100% unneeded because the game look great as it was and second, that´s where the soy boy part comes in, you´re praising a fattened, skin issue "upgraded" character which was the entire point of this "remake", to uglify the female character. You´re either a soy boy or are living under a rock praising woke nazi propaganda.
Are you for real? We need new games not remasters of all the old games 😂 no wonder why we are stuck with no games, I bought the 7 dollar CD version of horizon zero dawn ps4 that's more than enough. If you don't have the game then its 40 dollars now plus 10 would 50 so basically paying for a new game.
I so MFing agree! The only thing I really need from graphics are for them to be bug free. No z-fighting, bizarre texture problems, faces missing except for eyeballs, etc. Deus Ex is *still* my favorite game, even though it's chunky, angular, sparse, and didn't even have rag dolling. But every night, after work, I could not wait to see what was going to happen next. What's around the next corner? What's the next betrayal? What's the next *OMFG! WTF! moment.* As Ken Levine said (SS2, Bioshocks) ~effort spent on graphics, is effort *not* spent on gameplay.~ Not 100% true, IMO, because art can be done in parallel with a lot of other things. But it does cost resource$. However, in the first Bioshock, he considered the water to be a character, and so a lot of effort was put into that. Realistic water added to the -- ahem -- immersion. Also, for many remakes, you just end up getting a whole new batch of bugs, or "improvements" that ruin the game.
One of the reasons I was against the Activision buyout was because it would force MS to become a 3rd party by law. Activision has so many deals with other companies that MS has to honor and now with Xbox struggling in sales, MS simply cannot just focus on building the Xbox brand by traditional means (exclusivity, price drops, etc.) as they can easily go back to court for monopolistic practices. Combining that with strong sales on PS and Switch, it only makes business sense to make money where it can. By acquiring Activision, they lost the ability to be a natural competitor. Xbox is now an ecosystem, not a console. The Xbox console itself is only an entry point into the ecosystem. The Xbox platform is now Cloud gaming and Game Pass.
Man i love Xbox so much. It sucks its gone so down hill. I don't trust Xbox influencers anymore. Because one of them said last year that 2024 was going to be packed with Xbox exclusives. So I leaned not to trust them.
@@THEONLYKINETLC people react today for views. They rarely look at history of the products or companies they claim to be fans of. This is pure Nintendo and all things are great at the company!!
Now get this, I played/beat Silent Hill 1 but never played Silent hill 2 so this is going to be a real treat for me. Firing this up Friday night while it's raining outside lol
This has been the only video about Alarmo that threw some stink on the release. I would agree with a lot of the video's points. Nintendo IS doing really well with their brand. I hope they make a pocket watch next. I'm kind of put off by the motion sensing though.
Some other suggestions of games that should be on this list may include Shining the Holy Arc, Sega Rally Championships, Virtual On, Gungriffon, Powerslave, Robotica and Mystaria. Sure, some of these are japanese-only releases but nonetheless deserve to be taken into accout.
I would say one of the games that show Saturn's 3D capabilities the best are Panzer Dragoon games, especially Panzer Dragoon Saga. The first two are rail shooters, so there is not much maneuverability involved but still, the graphics in these no short of impressive for mid-nineties. Noneteless, Saga, the 3rd title shows 3D maneuverability and exploration at their best for the time. It is not without reason that it's most often called the best game on the concole. Too bad that it's so unfairly forgotten these days.
Yes I've been questioning their creativity for a while now especially with the latter end of the last generation. ASTRO bot is the last morsel of creativity. I stand by the fact that infamous is their best superhero franchise. The Insomniac spiderman games are generic Ubisoft style games... But prettier. The last of us was simple but fine. The Uncharted was a 3rd person cover shooter. God of war was a hack and slash. They had all those amazing platformers like Sly Cooper. FPS games like killzone. Their own souls game like bloodborne. Now God of war devolved into a generic last of us type story and even the upcoming wolverine is copy and paste of the Norse god of war series it's safe as f*ck with hold your hand QTEs
Maybe by the end of this generation PS will introduce some new worlds and characters that are their own. Games born on PS4 carried to PS5 are fine but PS5 needs its “new”.
Live Service multiplayer is the only interesting space in gaming right now. Almost all of the big innovations in gaming over the last 10 years happens in the GAAS space.
