Reply to concidering leaving playstation for good. by GamerTMTDK

If you don't mind double dipping, go for both PC and Xbox. I have both, sometimes I just want to get off the computer for a while and use the Xbox. Plus I have a big preference for physical copies.

But it sounds like you already have each. Doubt you'd regret getting rid of the playstation.

I really like the ps exclusives and other replies mentioned that the ideal choice would be to get a ps5 and get the pc game pass if I want to play any Xbox games. I think that's the most suitable option for me

after a bit more research and reading the replies, I really think getting a ps5 is the most suitable option for me too. like you mentioned as well I could most likely play most games on my laptop with a game pass anyway. thank you for the advice!

the replies are already very insightful! I'm very glad I asked this question. I got a lot of information to combine with my own research. hopefully the post will help someone else that might struggle with the same dilemma as well.

I think the ps controller will be easier for me and I do like a lot of ps exclusives so a ps seems like the most ideal option for me so far. thank you for the info!!

Reply to What video games are way too overly protected by fans? by Gay_Charlie

Basically anything made by Rareware on the N64. All of it is fun but flawed.

  • Conker's Bad Fur Day - really bad platforming. It's hard to overstate how bad the platforming is. Story mostly not funny since I didn't play it when I was 12.
  • Diddy Kong racing - to beat the story you basically need to know a secret technique to get more speed from boost panels. The multiplayer sucks because whoever gets to be TT basically wins. Additionally the multiplayer sucks because first place player can consume all the bananas in the first lap so no one else can raise their top speed. Just go play Mario kart if you have friends over.
  • Donkey Kong 64. World and levels are designed in a very confusing way. Controls not very tight. Wayyyyy too much backtracking.
  • Banjo-Tooie - Exactly the same problems as donkey Kong 64.
  • Banjo-Kazooie - ok I really like this one, but the castle is confusing. Honestly this is the best of the bunch.
  • Jet Force Gemini - once you finish the 3 starter stories, you have to go play all the levels again, which is kinda lame, but made better since a lot of the time to explore new areas of those levels with your new abilities. You literally have to get 100% of the hidden collectibles to finish the game. It's really hard to recommend the story mode for that reason.
  • Blast Corps - many of the levels require absolute perfection to beat, meaning you probably won't be able to actually finish this game. Some of the vehicles control like crap. You have to replay a bunch of levels multiple times.
  • Mickey speedway USA - I never played it, so can't comment.
  • Goldeneye 007 - I played a lot of hours of this. Like over a hundred I'd say with my brothers and friends. I am going to refrain from commenting on quality since, to be honest I just don't like shooters very much so there's too much bias. For comparison I love 3d platformers so I feel more than qualified to comment on those.
  • Perfect dark - same comment as Goldeneye.

This is the hill I'm willing to die on.
