I just dusted off all the video games and consoles I grew up playing as a kid! Brought the ‘now dust free’ collection from my parents basement to my house and hope to get them all set up to one TV so my kids and I can play!!!

Bully was such a different experience from other Rockstar games.

Bullworth Academy wasn't just a setting — it actually felt like a world of its own. Classes, cliques, pranks, fights, bikes, and random chaos made exploring the school and town surprisingly fun.

What I really liked was how different every group of students felt. The Jocks, Greasers, Nerds, Preppies… everyone had their own personality and rivalries.

Almost 20 years later, I still don't think there's another game quite like Bully.

More games, more memories, more stories coming soon. Follow if you're into that. 🎮

What do you remember most about Bully?

I know that a lot of people consider the ps1 era of graphics nostalgic or eerie which makes it fit for horror games and also is easy to replicate, especially if they're aiming for the nostalgic feeling. One thing I'm curious about though is how I don't see any modern projects trying to mimick the 2000-2010s era of games. it's hard for me to explain it exactly since I didn't experience it so I'll give a few examples of games whose graphics really caught my attention: Re4, Silent Hill 3, Shadow of the Colossus or like CoD Mw2 or Gta IV. One more notable example are the "piss filter games" or "fuckload bloom games (I'm looking for some games with fuckload bloom if anyone could recommend some.)". It just seems like a really cool looking and unique era of graphics to me and I wish I would've experienced it but my point is that a lot of people definitely experienced those during their childhood or teenage years and I'm surprised I don't see anyone trying to recreate the looks of those games in current times.

I'm sorry if it's a stupid question but it has been stagnating in the back of my mind for some time and I had to get it out. If there are modern indie projects or just more old game recommendations in general that fit my bad description I'd love to hear them aside for an answer to why people aren't trying to replicate the feeling of that era.

whats your favorite line from a game in you have playec? here are some of mine:

Silent Hill 2: this town is full of monsters, how can you just sit here and eat pizza?!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: war has changed. its no longer about nations, ideologis or ehtincites. its an endless series of proxy battles...

Red Dead Redemption 2: dont be two people at once

Half Life 2: welcome, welcome to city 17. you have chosen or been chosen to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers...

Silent Hill 3: they have come to wittness the Beginning. the rebirth of Paradise. despoiled by mankind-if a thing has no meaning, there is no reason for it to exist

Postal 2: no way you freaking pinko!

Silent Hill 4 The Room: ouch damnit!

those are some of mine. what are yours? have a nice day, bye!

Weighing the pros and cons of each ecosystems offerings and would like to commit to just one ecosystem this next generation due to raising hardware prices and time commitments but can not decide between PC/Steam and Playstation.

Im 30+ so grew up with Playstation and had every generation until the PS4 Pro came out I instead built my own PC and gamed on that for about 10ish years until the PS5 Pro came out I then switched back to Playstation due to the ease of use and physical game collecting. But with all the terrible decisions Playstation is making Im reconsidering going back to PC for the openness of the ecosytem which I believe will be very important in the coming future for ownership.

Although, I do work in Tech and at the end of a work day refuse to sit at another desk and to do the bare minimum if at all when troubleshooting or optimizing settings at my age.

My Wife has gotten into gaming as well so I'd like to maintain two gaming systems, one for me one for her. This is were the cost comes in as maintaining two decent PCs is alot more than two Playstations as her PC is going to need an upgrade or replaced with a Steam Machine. So I would also need to troubleshoot/optimize two gaming sytems.

Lastly I do like to Trophy/Achievement hunt, I love that Steam Achievements only have one list since there is one verison of the game. Where Playstation has started introducing multiple Trophy lists for the same game due to multiple verisons. Ex. Witcher 3 now has 4x Trophy lists that do not sync. And Steams cloud saves are just miles better than Playstation's.

Current setup both PCs hooked up to TVs/couch gaming and rough estimate costs factor in Monitors, TVs, PS Subcription, Prevails, over the lifetime Ive had the devices not including games:

PC - i7-12700k, 3080ti - with Steam Deck Oled ($7000 5years)

PS5 Pro - with Portal ($2500 2years)

2nd PC - i7-6700k, 2x 1080s in SLI (Wife's) ($4000 10years)

PS5 - with Portal (Wife's) ($1500 4years)

TLDR: What platform do you find yourself gravitating towards spending more time Gaming on in the future with all the current raising hardware costs and anti consumer decisions consoles may go through with next generation?

for me probably Scylla and the sirens, i swear everyone I knew said she was very easy for a third boss and I got absolutely destroyed by her.

Oh and then pinwheel but he was easy.

also hades 2 is absolute peak

- Kepler had previously stated that the PlayStation 6's BoM (Bill of Materials) cost has already risen to almost $1,000

- This $680 cost obviously doesn't account for the console's CPU, GPU and other components

- Considering Sony has already stated they do not plan on selling the PS6 at a loss, this is guaranteed to cross $1000+ at the minimum

I’m wanting to play a post apocalyptic/ zombie game with at least a relatively open world and survival/ crafting aspects. I would love something that’s atmospheric, that I can really sink into, but not SUPER punishing. A satisfying progression pace would be nice too.

Dying Light and Days Gone were the first two that popped up on Google. Should I go with one of these or is there a better option out there? Thanks!

Edit: I’m on ps4

I think so. It reminds me so much of Issin, the sword saint, in Sekiro.

It's brutal, but also fair. he doesn't have a single move that's unfair, and you can learn how to counter it. It's also a really long fight, making it a test of stamina. He also has a really fun personality.

Ones that break you, make you cry, tear you down but don't rebuild you into something improved, makes you smash your head into the nearest wall before your controller, makes you rip the pubes off you, have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in your ear, eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skun-

I always played on easy any time I get I don't really like challenge or getting lost or doing puzzles and I play games for strange small reasons others find boring or get old. I also never play multiplayer because I don't like being competitive. and I'm starting to wonder if I'm dumb or just lesser then other people especially when people Make fun of me for it or just tell me too stop playing games if I don't like challenge. everyone doesn't struggle but I do. and since I have level 2 autism I already feel like I'm less capable then others since I'm also in special needs class. I just asking does playing difficult games Relate to intelligence? should I be embarrassed or ashamed when I play on very easy or story mode

I've been trying to install Red Dead Redemption 2, since last night, and it keeps showing this message. It also did this with other games I installed, several times. Is my PS5 getting fried, or could this just be due to my internet?
