It's been awhile

Well, seven years since I posted something... this is really my bad. I totally forgot that I had this. Well not totally. I knew I used to type something online but forgot where.

Regardless, much has changed in the world of gaming. Lootboxes and censorship plague the landscape. It feels like I cannot go anywhere for escapism. Everything is either altered or engineered to take advantage of you.

First, I will address censorship. For the past several years, Sony has been censoring many of the JRPGs that I love to play. Particularly the Hyper dimension Neptunia games. All the still images and things of that nature had to be cropped or altered. Same thing for the Senra Kagura games. The developers stated that it was Sony that wanted this done. Which was bizarre since this was never an issue before. I wont go into details, most of what you can find will be here,

Because of this, I refrained from purchasing anything on the Playstation platform. This affected my descision in the past couple of games. Particularly RPGs. With their behavior, I cant support them. It has been nine months since I bought anything for my PS4 and it doesn't look like I'll be buying the PS5.

In' terms of loot boxes, I am sad to say that I have spent more money on Overwatch than I should have. 40 dollars to be precise. After realizing what the hell was happening, I stopped buying loot boxes and just played the game normally. Since then I avoided everything with mechanics like that. Which means, I avoided a good portion of titles for a number of years. Significantly reducing my options during that time. However, things look like they'll be changing since several government bodies have been looking into the matter.

Anyway, this was my update. You can watch the videos I have been uploading at https://www.youtube.com/user/Nokout21/featured

Take care y'all.

A long way to go

Sorry for the lack of updates. Things at school are really starting to pick up so we really don't have much time to work on videos. But that is hardly an excuse.

We've been playing a lot of different fighting games these past few weeks. Everything from Injustice to SSF4AE. If you ask me, I've been getting kinda bored with these games. hopefully Guilty Gear Xrd and Killer Instinct 3 will invigorate my passion for the genre.

Anyway, our top Five fighting games video should be coming up in about a week or so.

My Resident Evil 2 Collection


I have played Resident Evil 2 extensively. Far more than most people I would say. So Each version has its pro and cons. Now you must be wondering why in the hell do I dove multiple copies of the same game?

It's simple, I love to compare video games a lot.

Here's the run down.

The N64 version i would say has the most in content. Throughout the game, you can find files left behind by the S.T.A.R.S. members. Most notably, Jill's files, detailing her failed attempts, trying to convince her superiors of Umbrellas activities up until the zombie outbreak. It truly fleshes out the story and gives deeper insight into the world of resident evil.

Besides that, it is the weakest of the three versions that I have. Graphically, it is superior than the Playstation version, if I remember correctly. But not by much. The textures looks washed out a little however, the pre-rendered backgrounds look slightly sharper.

Sound is where it took the biggest hit. All of the audio has been compressed to fit the 512 meg cartridge. All the music and dialogue sounds muddled. However, it's not so bad that you cant understand what is being said. But it is noticeable.

_

The Gamecube version, I would say got the bad criticism back when it was first released. Here's why.

It was released after the part one remake. Many people were hopefully that this was going to get the same treatment. All we got was a straight port from the PSone. With some extra's.

Graphically, it's much sharper than the N64 and has more color. It's easier to see objects. There is one major flaw however, it lacks 480p support. The most it could push is 480i. With makes this game look terrible on current televisions.

Soundwise...... its all the same

I would say the biggest gripe people had with this game is it's price. It retailed for $39.99. Imaging trying to pay 40 dollars for a five year old game.

Finally, I'll get to the best port in my opinion. The Dreamcast version.

This one takes the cake. Resident Evil 2 on Dreamcast is actually a port of the PC version. Because of that, this game is able to run at 480p. Oh hell yeah. The colors and sharpness is about the same as the Gamecube version, however, the progressive scan makes everything look so much more cleaner.

Unfortunately, it lacks any extras. This version is pretty much a straight port.

Soundwise....... Its all the same..... again.

The best thing about this title is it's price. I only paid $19.99 when it first came out. My big sister Hilda took me to buy it. 20 bucks for a resident evil game.... not bad.

_

Well there you go. It's not really a review, because if it was, this thing would me much much longer. you ca easily purchase this title for PSN for only 5 bucks I think. Anyway guys..... Have a good one.
