Good. Imagine the relative utopia we might live in if other states were as proactive about protecting the rights of their citizens.
I want digital privacy laws, right-to-repair, and the million other advocacy-driven things Cali has. It’ll never happen in a million years, but I can still want them.
I can’t wait to leave my shit-hole state and move West.

For what it’s worth, I kinda agree. Maybe I’ve changed but I feel like their content over the last year or two is nowhere near as good as it was.
Maybe I’ve just had a change in taste, though.

That’s awesome! Which ending did you choose? Also, I highly highly highly recommend doing the gigs. They fill out the world in amazing ways and aren’t just cheap filler. They really give flavor to the bigger jobs and the characters involved.

Underground 2 .net has as l an amazing loren accurate overhaul. Highly recommend it if a one stop shop mod.

The EA Sports BIG titles are stupid fun. Highly recommend SSX Tricky, NBA Street Vol. 2, and NFL Street 2.
MX vs ATV Unleased is a classic. Great racing game.
ATV Offroad Fury 2 is fantastic, but hard to emulate.
I’m sure I’ll think of more, but those are great off the top of my head.

Just look what they’re doing with their Xbox brand. One of the most well established brands in the most profitable entertainment sector and they are literally setting fire to it in every conceivable direction.
Microsoft must be taking business cues from GRRM… Kill all your main characters.

I wish I could say I’m shocked. That site has fallen off so hard it’s crazy. The censorship has gone mad. It’s the main reason I’m here.

Probably my favorite game and game world of all time. Though, to be honest, I’m having difficulty in relating it to Skyrim. Then again, I was never big into Skyrim. I always got bored half way through the game and never finished it. Probably just a setting thing. I really like sci-fi and less into fantasy.
Did you get Phantom Liberty? If not, I highly recommend it. It’s ridiculously good. I’m on my 5th or 6th playthrough and still finding new things and details I missed previously. The world is ridiculously dense.

Very cool. I’ll check that out when I have time. Thanks!

You’re right. “I want it” is completely valid. If I had a bit more disposable income to play with I think I’d probably go ahead and bite the bullet.
I wouldn’t call Max Payne one of my “favorite” games, more that its a really good game that I’m currently discovering just how good it is. My favorite games are Cyberpunk 2077… Probably have like 500 hours in that. Had it since launch. By far my favorite “world” I’ve ever been immersed in. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been living rent-free in my head for months. That was a masterpiece. I spend 75% of my gaming time playing race sims, though. I’ve been going hard on Le Mans Ultimate lately. It’s so good! I want a race sim rig so bad. It’s the one thing I’ve wanted for years that I haven’t been able to get a chance to get. Hard to drop 2g’s on a peripheral.
Beyond that, more retro… Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing, The Typing of the Dead (God I love this one. So glad RetroArch exists otherwise I would have never got to experience it)

I had some fun messing around with that remake they recently did. I unlocked all the levels in three and got most of the challenges done. I’m more of a Skate guy to be honest. Skate 2 and Skate 3 are all-time greats for me. The new skate game that is free to play is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever played. It makes me so mad every time I think about it. Been waiting on that game for like a decade and they absolutely shit all over it and us. They absolutely ruined it.
No I’m not upset at all about it I always have steam coming out of my ears.

Good to know! Thanks, homie.
I’m definitely going to play 1 & 2. The love for them is overwhelming. I wonder if I’ll feel differently than others due to playing 3 first. That’ll be interesting to find out.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 3 weeks ago:
Heck yeah I’ll check it out!
I keep thinking about picking up one of those small emulation devices but I keep coming back to the same thing… My phone is probably just as powerful and I already own it. It’s a little annoying to have to have a controller to play, though.
I have all my emulators up to ps2 on my phone and they run great in high resolution. I’m struggling to find a need for one of those aside from “I want it.” Lol

Wow, I didn’t know about all that for RoboCop. If I’m honest, I’ve never actually watched the movies. I know… I know. I should have by now. Especially considering I’m a big fan of dystopian cyberpunk type stuff. Maybe after I give it a watch I’ll be more interested in the game.
I’ve heard about No Mercy being the king of the hill, but I haven’t tried it either. Warzone was… not great. lol. I much preferred WCW-NWO Revenge of the two. Those are the only two I owned back in the day, so I mainly boot them up for nostalgia purposes.
When you say No Mercy has a modding community, are you talking about a PC release of some sort or romhacks?

Very nice! I tried to play Hollow Knight a while back while I was exploring 2D games. I think it was right after I finished Elden Ring, now that you mention it. The mechanics and platforming felt amazing, but the setting just didn’t speak to me. These aren’t really the kind of games I have been drawn to in my life, so it was definitely out of my wheelhouse, but it was getting such acclaim I figured I owed it to myself to at least try it.
Maybe I’ll go back to it one day and give it another shot.

Glad to have you here to chat with us! I tried to play RoboCop twice now, but couldn’t get into it the way I had hoped. It seemed like a really well-made game, but I think that either I wasn’t in the right headspace for it at the time or maybe it’s just not quite what I’m looking for. It’s one of those games I feel like I should like, but just don’t yet.
I’m getting so many recommendations to go back and play Max Payne 1 & 2 that I’m going to prioritize them in my next round of games.
As for wrestling games, the two I owned were WCW-NWO Revenge (N64) and WWF Warzone. Both were interesting and I still go back and play them every once in a while through emulation. I really like the mechanics for WCW-NWO Revenge. It’s the best implementation of grapple controls I’ve played in a wrestling game. The rest is a bit rough around the edges, though.

Really? I thought 3 was heavy on noir, but then again, I don’t have much experience with that genre. I really should play 1 and 2 when I can.

I have fond memories of playing AC in Walmart when they used to have the demos in the electronics section you’d have to break your neck to play because the monitors were so high. After the great experience I had playing Elden Ring (my first souls-like), I decided to jump into ACVI when it came out. What a great game. I still haven’t beaten it, as I just haven’t been in the mood to play lately, but I intend on finishing it at some point soon.

I literally just installed and started playing TXR myself. I’m a racing game freak and I had never tried the series before. Figured it was time after seeing the HokiHoshi video on it. I mainly do sim racing, but it’s nice to play some arcade every once in a while. I’ve been getting my fix with Dirt 2 and NFSU2 underground2.net mod.

Wait, recently? There’s still active development going on for those handhelds? That’s nuts! I had no idea.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 3 weeks ago:
I find it funny how I seemingly randomly decide to play an old game and then find out a bunch of others picked it up around the same time as me. I wonder why that is? Maybe we all got inspired by watching the same video that included a clip or something. Who knows?
But yeah, I’m really enjoying it too. This is my second playthrough. I beat it once a long time ago when I bought it, but don’t remember much about it. I’m trying to collect all the golden gun parts on this playthrough. I have like 5 or 6 of the guns done. I currently at the escort part right after the bus escape.
