Modern Warfare

Just finished the campaign in Modern Warfare 1. It was a good game and considering I played on the PS3 it was still really good.

Though I couldn't get past the fact that every time Price opened the door his hand wasn't holding the knob lol

But yeah it's was great. Good ending, good soundtrack, and pretty standard but good story

I really enjoyed getting to play Soap and even thought there wasn't much down time to delve into the relationships between the other plays I could tell there was something there and it was nice.

I really like Griggs, Gaz and Price a lot.

Anyways I'll do another update when I finish Modern Warfare 2.

I have 1, 2 and 3 so I'll have to get four at some point. Hopefully on the PS3 with the rest of them but if not oh well.

Also just a quick question. Does anyone know if MW PS3 is the same as MW PS4 because I have both and the internet isn't helping with answering this question.

[savageboar]

alright hot take: people are way too outraged about the rdr1 port. like yeah $50 isn't Great but good god i don't see y'all demanding ppl boycott skyrim anniversary edition on switch which is like 80 dollars now if you buy skyrim on switch it was 60 dollars and to upgrade to anniversary edition it's another 20. where's the half hour DON'T BUY THIS GAME rants for that.

[anx1oustig3r]

How'd you get into cod? I'm shit at aiming in shooter games so I'm thinking of just watching a playthrough.

A story in pictures and gifs, my good friend

But, more seriously, a few of my friends from the Witcher are heavily into Ghoap. They didn't really grab me that much, but then I saw Price and he is much more my vibe. I went back and had a dabble in the games cause I had an old copy of Modern Warfare 1 Reboot on PS3. Got a little feral for that boonie-hatted twat, then started browsing giftsets, meta and art. Found the Nikprice fandom. And here I am. I have a thing for traumatised men trapped inside environments brimming with honour codes, toxic masculinity and duty.

Walk throughs and vids will give you all you need, mate. There's a running joke in this fandom that most of it has never played the games. But there ain't nothing wrong with being in a fandom for man titty (Ghost) and boonie-hatted twats, y'know?

Ratchet and Clank size matters got added to the PSN store and I got a a major nostalgia pang so I went "eh, why not" and quickly played through it. And I do mean quickly, I know it was a PSP title but dang, last time I finished a R&C game this quick i played Nexus. Anyway, the thing that struck me about this game is that Ratchet is...a bit of an asshole here. And that struck me as odd because for the last few entries...he isn't.

Like this is still early series Ratchet, still on the PS2/PSP, released just before the first PS3 title, which was in retrospect a bit of an incredibly soft reboot. In the newer games, Ratchet is a fairly straight forward protag, nice, willing to help, only a little bit sarcastic if he's really strapped for time or dealing with someone especially annoying. Early Ratchet? Early Ratchet was a jackass, a dick, a selfish, quick tempered loner that only went on this quest because there was a tangible, direct benefit to him specifically. Seriously, in the first game Ratchet couldn't go two sentences without insulting somebody, and that's when he's in a good mood. In act 2 he's even worse, gnashing his teeth at everyone he talks to and threatening to sell Clank for scrap. It takes hours of in game time and half a dozen levels before Ratchet finally chills out, and a few more levels before he actually resolves to act like any sort of hero, and even that only happens after something he personally cares about gets threatened. Ratchet could give a damn, he can be convinced to help people, but he's still a selfish person who needs the situation rubbed in his nose before he realizes how dire it is. Clank having faith in him, throughout the entire game, even when he's being a dick, even when Clank himself is furious with him, meant something. When in the penultimate level he says "that's the Ratchet I always knew was there" and Ratchet brushes him off, you buy it, that beneath this sharp outside there's someone with the capacity to be a hero, an actual hero, a hero who isn't selfless, but one capable of overcoming his selfishness when it matters most.

Back when the first game came out, people complained about this, about their platformer mascot protag being a huge dick, and even the very next game addressed this by toning him down a smidge, but Ratchet in the PS2 trilogy is still very much not a perfect sunshine person. He's very sarcastic, pretty cynical, is very quick to call other people on their bullshit, and still has a very short temper. (Plasma city, anyone?) Ratchet had texture to him, he bounced off the much more straightforwardly nice Clank in a lot of ways, their friendship felt like it had weight and meant something because these two had so many differences between them that the fact they did get along so well and cared about each other so much showed that their friendship was genuine. I like the newer Ratchet and Clank games, played every one of them, but I've never been really happy with the direction they took with Ratchet. Each game made him nicer, friendlier, smoothing down his edges. And the reboot game had it the worst, they retold the first story, where Ratchet was at his worst and a major thread of the plot was him learning to get over his bullshit, but had the sanded down kitty cat of the later games instead of having confidence in their early work. Dickhead Ratchet worked, he had a place and it gave him a place to grow, while still maintaining his inherit sharpness. Ratchet should get to be an asshole again, just for a bit, let him get angry, properly. Sure, he's a hero who's saved two galaxies three times over and then some, but he did that while being a sarcastic little shit who made a joke about a plumber's ass crack showing and fired rockets at people while complaining about how high the prices are everywhere he went.

I dunno, maybe its a bit too late in the game to say this, but something got lost in the shuffle a while back, and getting a reminder of what was simply put it into perspective for me.

This is fucking psychotic.

700 USD (1000 AUD for me) for a console that you need to ZOOM IN to see the BARELY upres'd backgrounds in fucking The Last of Us Part 2, a ps4 game. Good job Sony. Well done!!!!!! You somehow managed to top the PS3 in ridiculous pricing because at least that fucking thing WAS CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY!!!!! AND IT HAD A BLU RAY DISC DRIVE INCLUDED!!!!!! And.. you know... MORE THAN 2 FUCKING EXCLUSIVES!!!!!!!

My god. I'm so done with Sony. If the PS6 is fully digital I am staying on PC and Nintendo and being fully content with life. It's not like I'm gonna miss out on exclusives or killer apps because they will come to PC anyways!!!!

...ugh.... Nintendo can you ratio Sony by uploading a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal? Please?

[plaidos]

Hey Roxy! This is a long and weird question, but you're the only girl I follow who's both gaming literated and Also a cool gaymer, so I wanted to take a shot and see what your advise could be!

So i'm south american, I earn barely above minimun wage here (which is like, not even a quarter of the average usamerican wage? lmao), and I've been considering for a while doing a mid to longer future plan of saving as much as I can to invest in a gaming console. I want specifically a handheld only for acomodation issues and I'm looking for something that is as versatile as possible when it come to catalog (like idk most indie games, most the 00s-2010s classics and when it comes to higher performance to be able to at least tolerate Minecraft without crashing kind of deal?)

Should I get a switch oled (specially now that the price will very likely drop little by little as the switch 2 approaches)? Should I try saving for the 2 in case it isn't over 400$? Or should I try working and saving way longer (like waaaaay longer in my case) for a higher performance thing like a Steam deck or an Asus?

so naturally i’m not gonna tell you what to buy like that would be pretty presumptuous i think lol. but from my experience, the most versatile handheld console is by and far the Steamdeck, because it is essentially just a portable gaming computer running Linux. i can (and have) player Red Dead 2 on the bus — meanwhile the Switch, as much as i love her, was considered underpowered when she released nearly ten years ago. don’t get me wrong — if you’re looking for cheap, you’re not gonna find a better deal than a secondhand switch when the Switch 2 comes out

here’s the kicker for me personally though: the Steamdeck, being an actual computer with an honest to god desktop mode etc, can emulate incredibly well. I am yet to find a Switch game I can’t play on the Steamdeck better than it runs on the Switch.

so yeah it really depends what the most important factor is for you personally like if you want to be able to play on your TV without buying extra equipment (which it seems like you actually don’t wanna do — just handheld right?), wanna play online with friends who use Nintendo Online, or just want something more quickly affordable, then the Switch 1 will definitely be your best bet especially after the Switch 2 comes out. i personally have no idea how much the Switch 2 will cost but i sincerely doubt it’ll be much more than $400 — but i’m not an expert, so don’t take my advice on that like it’s fact.

but if you want your money to go further, and truly are most focused on getting the biggest catalog of accessible games, then it does not get better than the Steamdeck, period. NO console of ANY generation or price can live up to the fact that it is literally a computer. even if the Steamdeck could only play Steamdeck verified games (the Steamdeck helpfully tells you not just if but HOW compatible each game on the Steam store is) then it would still have a wider catalog than the Switch or Switch 2 will ever have. Plus, I don’t know if they’re price adjusted where you live, but indie games tend to be more expensive when they’re sold by Nintendo online, and the Nintendo store basically never has major sales unlike the stuff you’ll see basically every time you log into Steam.

and like i said, as much emulator support as you can imagine. i’ve played PS3 games on the Steamdeck. i’ve played Switch games on the Steamdeck. i’ve played Arcade games on the Steamdeck. my ex girlfriend is currently doing a Gamecube Animal Crossing playthrough…. on her Steamdeck.

Minecraft youll need to download third party stuff for on the Steamdeck i think? but there are probably dozens of guides out there for how to do that. and it’s not like the Switch version of that game is especially well supported and optimised lol.

Switch 2 Price: Objectively

Before I get started let me just say that I absolutely agree that $450 is a lot of money, not denying that one bit. Please do not be mean in the comments, I am mildly autistic and was abused as a child so I cry stupidly easy.

It goes without saying that some of this price has also been adjusted due to the new 24% tariffs on Japanese goods. (This has not been confirmed by Nintendo but it follows the market trend of companies passing those costs directly to consumers).

With that out of the way, lets look at the hardware specifications of the Switch 2 that have been confirmed by Nintendo and nvidia.

4k 120 FPS when docked

7.9" 1080p HDR LCD screen built in

DLSS, ray tracing, and g-sync support

256GB SSD storage

These specifications put the Switch 2 firmly above the capability of a PS4 in the form factor of what is essentially a tablet. The Switch 1 was about as capable as the PS3, which is also somewhat impressive for the formfactor. While we likely won't have actual benchmark tests until review units go out near launch, we can still see that the hardware is quite good based on the info we have. Now let's take a look devices with similar capability of Switch 2 that are currently available on the market.

PS5

The PS5 is a more powerful system than Switch 2 without a doubt with Sony originally toting 8k resolution support. However it is also a much larger device and is notoriously sold at a loss as has been the trend with all console manufacturers since the 1970s. The PS5 slim comes in at the same $450 as Switch 2 due to its lack of Bluray drive. It also cannot be played anywear other than your home unless you invest in the $200 Playstation Portal streaming handheld.

Xbox Series X/S

While the Xbox Series S comes in at $150 cheaper than the Switch 2, it has also been notoriously hard for developers to get their games running in 4k on the device and is widely considered a non option for others, with Microsoft having to wave certification requirements for certain games such as Baldur's Gate 3 in order for Larion Studios to even consider porting it to the Xbox.

These are also not a portable system and are likely to be discontinued soon due to Microsoft shifting focus away from console exclusivity and on to their GamePass streaming service.

Laptops

The lowest price I could find on a laptop that features similar performance to Switch 2 will cost you around $650. And while laptop PCs can do much more overall due to the nature of the Windows desktop environment, I'm looking at this from a purely gaming performance focus. These lower end devices often suffer from performance dips due to lack of proper cooling and the overhead of the OS as well.

Handhelds/Steamdeck likes

The Steam Deck is a pretty incredible value starting $400 with access to a vast amount of the Steam Library. However it struggles with running complex games in 4k and its ray tracing support is quite lacking as well, but to be fair the device was not really designed to do that. It also only has a 720p 60hz display and is quite a bit bulkier than the Switch. Steam Deck competitors such as the ROG Ally and Legion Go are a bit more capable, but have notoriously poor battery life and are much more expensive in the $700-800 range.

Switch 1

The Switch 2 is also bound to compete with the Switch 1 for sales due to pricing and availability in the first couple of years of its lifespan. While the system is 8 years old, it still has quite a vast amount of support from developers and publishers due to it having a great lifetime sales figure. It has unfortunately been notoriously under-powered since its initial launch in 2018 with developers often having to greatly pare down their games in order to get them running on the system and often releasing 1-2 years after they have already launched on other platforms. The system also hasn't dropped its price from $300 outside of rare holiday sales.

The extra power of the Switch 2 should allow for more games to run on the system at a much less compromised experience compared to PS5/PC ports.

TLDR; Yes $450 is expensive, but the cost of the hardware is a fair market price.

$80 for the games is batshit insane tho.

Me, talking to friend: "I was busy today and on the way home swung by the store and got Super Mario RPG for $14 when expecting to pay $25. Waiting was definitely a good move."

Friend: "Did you see the Nintendo Direct?"

Me: "... no? Wait, that was today?"

Nintendo News: "Switch2 is $450. Switch2 + Mario Kart is $500. Games on the Switch2 are $80. No word yet on Switch2 + Switch1 simultaneous release like the overlap between Gamecube/Wii and Wii/WiiU (or PS3/PS4/PS5)."

More Nintendo News: "Launch titles: expected new games for existing games' series, unexpected Kirby Air Riders 2, multiplayer FromSoft. $10 to $20 paid upgrades for backwards compatible games, games previously talked about for Switch will be Switch2. Planned price hike means that both new Professor Layton and Bravely Default 1 HD (which is now 13 years old wtf) are likely $80."

Me: "... say syke."

Hi. Did you buy the new Hakuoki on the Nintendo eShop? Can't find it on Amazon

I'm so sorry I didn't see this earlier! I have a lot of asks slip past me for some reason and I'm still trying to figure out why.

I pre-ordered the limited edition version from playasia what feels like about seven years ago at this point. Obviously it wasn't that long but I did go a LONG time after preordering it without any updates on production or a possible release date or anything like that so it felt like ages.

The limited edition version is sold out but if you want to buy a physical copy of the game you can currently get it from playasia here for $39.99. What's weird is at least in the US the game IS on Amazon but only the Japanese version. Good. Fuck Bezos anyway.

It is also available in the Nintendo eShop and the digital version is currently on sale for $34.99 instead of the typical $49.99. I mean my experience overall with Hakuouki has definitely been worth at least one of my limbs but I feel like $49.99 is still an insane price to pay for a digital file full of a bunch of dudes who were definitely surviving on less than that a month. Except Heisuke. Heisuke could afford digital Hakuouki.

Personally, I really like physically owning the game and especially the book and other stuff that came with the limited edition version, but it drives me actually crazy that Souji isn't inherently in my switch. I shouldn't have to insert a cartridge to see Souji. He should just be there the second I turn it on. I shouldn't have to physically remove him just because I want to play BOTW for five minutes before I remember I have no reflexes or coordination and that's why I stick to visual novels. Removing Souji feels wrong. I don't know. I know I'm crazy but at this point I own Hakuouki (the main game) for PSP in both English and Japanese (along with 5 other Hakuouki PSP games,) Stories of the Shinsengumi for PS3 (I have never owned a PS3,) Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms on Steam, and now Fuukaden (or whatever Chronicles of Wind and Blossom? weird thing they localized it to) on Switch. I feel like at this point if I finally snap someday when I have disposable income and throw money at Otomate and Nintendo to own the digital version too that wouldn't even be that insane for me. That bar has become very high.

Do you agree with the TheGamer's article, Astro Bot Isn't A Celebration, It's A Graveyard?

I have not read the article or played the game, but watching talk about Astro Bot and how it's this "great celebration of Playstation" is absolutely a bummer. Watching Astro Bot get Spike's net and run around catching monkeys in an Ape Escape level feels more like a cry for help than a celebration of anything.

It's Team Asobi saying, "Hey remember when they used to let us create weird, wacky, super creative games? Well they consolidated like eight teams down to just this Astrobot group here, so this is a toast to our fallen comrades."

I'm sure that, to Sony, doing that "made sense," because games like Locoroco or The Last Guardian or Gravity Rush were not hitting the right "sales targets." (A made up number that doesn't mean anything to anyone other than shareholders) So, you restructure, you filter out all but the best and brightest talent, and that's how you get Team Asobi.

But I've been saying it for a while, and so have a lot of other people, that we're back to the same kind of egotistical Sony that launched the PS3 to the sound of dead weight hitting the pavement. Now, that Sony turned the PS3 around towards the end, but that's because they got humbled by the Xbox 360 and had to figure out a way to bounce back.

And then they bounced back right as Microsoft's ego started to humble them and it launched the Playstation 4 into such a huge lead that they're still kind of coasting on that, particularly because instead of bouncing back, Microsoft has just kind of rolled over and accepted their fate. Whatever success they have with Game Pass isn't good enough for them to really swing back at Sony very hard.

So we get this clownshoes company that closes down all of their Japan studios, that launches a VR headset peripheral that's more expensive than the console it's made for, and that same VR headset has no backwards compatibility with older PS4 software even though the console itself does, and then they launch an equally expensive wifi-only remote dock (read: a Wii U Gamepad) for that console, they keep raising their prices in Japan, they launch and then two weeks later shut down a live service game that spent 8 years in development...

And then you look at Astro Bot, brimming with "Remember when Playstation used to be the coolest thing in the world?" references, from Parappa the Rapper to Ape Escape to Shadow of the Colossus, and it's like... yeah, I do remember that, and I can only remember it, because that's not the kind of company Sony is now. This is a party primarily for things that don't exist anymore.

You could call that a graveyard, sure. It's a wake at the very least.

Heyyy! Hopping into your inbox to continue Hakuoki talk, so we stop spamming poor Rui's unrelated post 😂 (though @ruiniel, if you haven't checked out Hakuoki yet... 1800s Japan, samurai, vampires + demons... just saying...)

The series used to be super popular even outside of Japan but it's died down significantly in the last ten years or so, even with the rerelease/retelling :(

Yes! There are so many different iterations of the game lmao. My favorite is the PS3 release (Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi), which is all of the original game content plus a significant amount of extra scenes in both the general route and for each LI route. I thought the narrative flow and character development was excellent in this and it included lots of slice-of-life moments, plus I'm super nostalgic about it, so I'm very attached XD It's like my "canon" Hakuoki game. I did enjoy the new characters and content that Hakuoki Shinkai brought, though!

(Oof I feel that, both the price and the computer troubles... my own computer is starting to refuse to open anything beyond 6-7 browser tabs and I live in fear every day. I hope you are able to play the games for yourself one day!!!)

HEYYY~ 👋😀 Thanks so much for continuing!!! (Omgosh yes, sorry about that @ruiniel hon! 😅 But yasss! Definitely one to add to the watchlist! Wink wink nudge nudge😁)

AGSDGASDJLKJ It was actually popular at one stage??!! 😮 Granted I did find it somehow, so... 😅 And the number of games and Anime speaks for itself... 😶 Ahh, it sucks to have it practically left abandoned by most of the fanbase, or just unknown in general. 😭

Oooh, now that does sound like an epic one!!! 🤩🤩 Anything with added scenes, more character development and those slice-of-life moments that can only enhance the experience gimme gimme *grabby hands*!! Oh yes, I do recall seeing screenshots once of Chizuru with some other characters I don't recognize but also appeared to be optional routes... *checks* Yeah! That's definitely the one! Must do so'more digging, am crazy curious about those characters now, hehe! Thank you for that, btw! Have been wondering about them for a while!

On a somewhat related note, are you perhaps familiar with the mobile otome game, Love and Deepspace, by any chance?? Yet again, something out of my own reach... but the gameplay is Something Else and was just imagining a Hakuoki game with that level of interaction and immersion!!

(Omgosh nuuuuu, that's awful!! 😭 The fear! The fear is real!! Sheesh, and here I still get snarky when mine struggles to open anything over 20! Really hope it holds out for you, dealing with computer issues is the Worst!! Thank youuu! *Fingers crossed*)
