I was the absolute worst at THPS.  It would not click for me no matter how hard I tried.

Just stand in place, do "manual" and then apply the modifiers to get multipliers. 
Couldn't do this in old ones though, i think only from 3 onwards.

  if good. we were talking about 2x the other day.

I played like 8 million hours between THPS1 demo -> Underground 1. I like combo games.
THUG2 was the start of the mess and everything after was a disaster.

All these years later...I have zero confidence in a new THPS or remake. If it turns out good I'll be happy to be wrong.

THPS1&2 are painfully simple games, it shouldn't be hard to clean them up and shit them out decently.

They fucked it up with tony hawk hd on pstriple and 360

[demi]

They did but that was Robomodo, this is VV who have a good track record on remakes so far at least

[Nintex]

I loved the REEEEE meltdown itt 

Also can't wait to see all of Geoffs next gen awesomeness.

Playing that for Xmas 2001 cause my dad got me an Xbox instead of a Gamecube because he wanted to watch DVDs  (Essentially his JAmes Bond DVD collection). The Duke d-pad. 

PS anything D pad is the only way I can comfortably play THPS games. Left has to left, right has to be right, up has to be up, down has to be down 100% of the time. Duke d-pad was a secondary minigame in THPS2x of trying to execute moves.

[Akala]

we were just kind of hoping it would become backwards compatible at some point like some of the other XB1 games. I imagine not now. 

[Cindi Mayweather]

DO THPS3 NEXT

He did display a lot of confidence like the PS5 controller though.

Can someone make sense of this American Wii U commercial? I tried to find it in a seperate video, but cannot find a standalone??

Timestamp 1:00

Listen to what the voice over (presumably from the small boy) says:

"Mom and Dad have been smiling and laughing" - While the camera pans over the woman and young looking dude
"My big sister and younger brother are actually getting along" - While the camera pans over the two young children.

But if the kid doing the voiceover isn't the 'younger' brother, then who is voiceover?
Was Dad the big brother the entire time?

 

lol

I have no wish to purchase anything related to that idiot Tim Sweeney.

Is that not allowed?

Can't wait until the Netherlands is swallowed by the Atlantic and we are finally freed from this curse.

Well I sure hope 2Tbs of HDD space on both the Xbox and PS4 is good enough for the rest of the gen. Not investing in anymore storage management and thats what both have left after my HDD crisis.

I mean it would help if I wasnt a nerdy loser who wants every game installed just in case I get the nudge to check a game out, but I am.

How bout some folders?  Like an A-H Folder, I-R Folder and S-Z Folder? 

I know that feeling... In case I get some wild urge to fire up some random game...  I got a 2TB on mine for that reason, but I reasoned with myself knowing that I'll never have time to go back to certain ones. lol

Look at all those vidya 

I've been thinking about expanding my Xbox One X Storage as well but I'll probably get a new SSD for my PC and then use my oldest PC SSD for some extra room on the X.
Or I'll wipe clean my Wii U external HDD and use that instead. 

As it stands I can only have about 8 or 9 game installed at a time with some of the larger ones with DLC getting close to 100GB.
Some games that are nice to pick up and play like racers I have to remove in favor of story heavy games not to mention every time something on GamePass pops up that I want I'm playing a game of Tetris with my storage first.

My real storage issue is on my PC though,

C: SSD drive - OS - 250GB / 30GB left
D: SSD drive - Games - 500GB / 40GB left
G: HDD drive - Games - 1TB / 128GB left
I: HDD drive - Adobe Creative Cloud and other Applications / Google Drive (work stuff) / PC backups / Plex folder with Documentaries, Movies & TV shows - 3TB / 300GB left
M: HDD drive -  Downloads / Phone backups / Plex folder with Documentaries, Movies & TV shows - 3TB / 18GB left

"lmao breh just delete some porn", well adult entertainment is hardly a drop in the bucket when it comes to storage space.
In total, including what I assume is still left in backups from the days when streaming content was less common about ~200GB.
A single video takes up anything from 200MB to 5GB depending on the age, type of content and resolution.
Not to mention other than the labels these drives are about as well organized as you'd imagine a Nintex storage device to be.
I'm already buying all my 4K HDR movies on Blu-Ray to save some space but some movies are still not released in 4K nor found on Netflix.

However a single game like Call of Duty consumes 200GB and it needs to be installed on an SSD to run well so I don't see any other option but to buy a 1TB SSD to replace the 250GB one if another game pops up that requires an SSD.

Next gen is going to be fun. The 825GB SSD that comes with the PS5 sounds impressive but with UE5 and those 8k textures you will be able to install about 5 - 8 games at best.

Oh man, GameFaqs guides that takes me back to wonderful days of reading them.

Authors spend a lot of time and care to describe every single frame of certain games.
Some of them even included their own character backstories, epilogues and interpretations of stories in SNES RPG's.

God bless those warriors

there is no way I could ever be bothered to alphabetize, for PS4 I have folders loosely by genre.

It just got a sequel, and they're literally giving it away!

AVGN has gone downhill, but I guess people gotta get paid still

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, it's now mostly just a way for James to make little home movies and get paid for it, which is what he wanted to do before AVGN popped off.

Oh man we're gonna start this up again? Fine.

Just because they create an engine that is used in many games, and I buy those games from somewhere, doesnt mean I'm directly supporting them with my money.

There is a pretty significant difference.

Damn man I've been looking for a week on where to get this on Steam. It said release date 12th May so I kept updating the page and was like : why cant I buy it?

Then I looked at the discussions and it said it's exclusive to the epic crap store.



Goddamnit

ey im not gonna buy that game if its only on EGS Ill just wait for the Steam release
It looks fun though

On another funny note

[Stro]

AVGN has gone downhill, but I guess people gotta get paid still

AVGN has been complete dogshit since he made the movie, which was also complete dogshit (but maybe not quite as terrible as Space Cop, tbh), and turning all of his reviews on shit into discussions with his comically stereotypical neckbeard fat fuck friends has made all of his content unwatchable imo. I don't think they even update the cinemassacre website anymore and just use youtube

[Tuckers Law]

You should rage about Seanbaby next.

[Stro]

Idk who that is, but James' heart has clearly not been into AVGN since the movie and that was like 4 years ago now. Wait, it came out in 2014. So he's been half heartedly dragging this character along because that's the thing people like from him, while trying to do all this other shit with his friends that are all terrible. It's a bummer. AVGN was a great discovery when it first started but shit that was 15 years ago now

[MMaRsu]

I like avgn but all his shit is more of the same and its not as funny as it was back then.

still occasionally funny

[Stro]

He even has ruined Monster Madness

[Spieler1]

The fatties run the channel now. One of the last things I watched was Star Wars 9 impressions and it was a video of the them rambling endlessly and James sitting inbetween like a mute puppet.  I guess they are slightly less stupid than Mike, but none of them are particularly interesting to listen to. Though Mike's fat buddy is bottom of the barrel.

but tbf the channel feels like it's run its course for a decade now. Subscribed out of habit and having something to distract from my tinnitus. At least it's never become as awful as Nostalgia Critic?

[Tuckers Law]

16 years is a long time, guy’s been doing this since before YouTube.  I haven’t found much of his stuff particularly compelling for years now, but more power to him if he likes doing it.

[Stro]

That's the thing, he doesn't seem like he enjoys doing it but this is his source of income, but unlike most jobs that people don't like anymore, everyone gets to see him not be into it so it's a bummer

[EightBitNate]

Ghost of Tsushima looks insane

[Pennywise]

Ghost of Tsushima looks insane

Visuals are great.

The normal combat looks pretty dull.

[Spieler1]

These guys wanted to be film makers, but only were lucky to strike gold with the angry screaming nerd shtick during just the right time.  Nostalgia Critic guy wanted to move to other projects, which crashed and burned and now he's stuck with his awful screaming videos. Remember shit like Spoony?

RLM is a channel that doesn't feel like it's fallen completely out of time. Even with their dumb skits, they never felt manbabyish like other typical YT joke reviewers. Meanwhile AVGN is still the same thing from the time when I torrented Naruto, watched Saladfingers and shilled for Nintendo Revolution.  I don't have strong feelings towards the channel, that's just what it is.

[Stro]

RLM isn't really based around characters beyond Plinket who is barely even on HITB for the better part of 2 years. RLM about a group of friends talking about usually shitty movies instead of a gimmick character they have to keep up, not that they don't play aspects of their personalities up more than normal at times. But it has also allowed them to just keep putting out videos for as long as they feel like it because there's never a lack of shitty movies to get drunk and dunk on.

[BIONIC]

AVGN is still good fun (though I didn’t see the latest episode).

James’ shitty friends are worse than Sonic’s lmao. There’s no reason anyone should subject themselves to their shit so whatever. Never cared for his channel beyond that.

[nachobro]

that samurai game looks boring as fuck

[EchoRin]

Ghost of AssCreed. 

I don't know what I expected, but yeah it kind of gives me Assasin's Creed vibes with how it plays. Could be fine of course. Just wasn't thinking that would be my takeaway after watching the the developer's preview showcase.

[Nintex]

boring as fuck good looking games are very on brand for PLAYSTATION STUDIOS

Looks cool, I just wanna be a samurai and ride my horse through a bamboo field and be like "Once again, I've cut a worthless object."

[MMaRsu]

havent watched the vid but can you cut the bamboo ala bushido blade??

Are there fights in bamboo forests?

Can I listen to the soundtrack to Shogun Assassin while playing this or?
