GTA probably will never go back to what they were before. But I have to admit I had zero fun at all with GTA5, it was released during a very depressing moment in my life I never recovered from. But even so I still had a tough time enjoying the game. GTA6 looks even worse. Who knows if they will try to remake all these GTA games though, they would be expensive as hell to remake because each one would be as if they were making a new GTA game due to the size of the maps some of these games were. They would probably try to expand upon them too, but the games would end up as woke as the sixth one since I've heard the original guys behind GTA are gone or got terminated.
I'd just like Rockstar to bring out remastered versions of Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories for the PS4/PS5 with improved graphics and a modern control scheme. I certainly don't want any full-on remakes of those games, especially given how woke Rockstar is said to have become with GTA 6.

Older games from the PS2 era are some of the best. I'd like to see more of them being remastered for modern gaming platforms. In contrast, I find modern gaming painfully boring and uninspiring and just no fun at all.

Yeah remasters aren't the same as remaking stuff. When they remake it they just tamper with the whole entire formula. Most of those games are just painful to play. I watched my brother play RE2 remake, he shot a zombie with the shotgun up close in the face and that asshole did not die...He tried the magnum on a licker up close, it never died or fell over on it's back like they use to in the past. They totally made the games ridiculously hard but in the most boring ass way possible because firearms are weak as all hell in the remakes. They practically do no damage, forcing you to just run past everything. enemies can take a lot of punishment to the point where trying to kill them is pointless. That's why we always agree the originals were a million times better because guns actually hurt the mutha fuckers in the other games. Maybe with GTA6 if it ends up like Saints Row did they'll have regrets. But rockstar rarely fails. I mean their games like Bully, Manhunt, etc never sold nearly as much as GTA and Red Dead did, those are Rockstars biggest selling titles. I actually preferred Bully over GTA, it was just a much smaller in scale game map wise and felt far too limited and restricting compared to GTA games.

Even gaming is all Feminazi trash now for woke self-hating omega males. The Feminazis have successfully taken over and destroyed literally everything good at this point and made life miserable for normal men. They even said that GTA 6 is going to be woke. There's a reason why the only men that play games now are total omega losers. No normal, sane man with testosterone would play the trash that is released now. Look at the new Saints Row. :lol: It used to be about hood niggas and now the main character is literally a short hair Feminazi dike and the male characters are all woke SJW fags. You can tell how bad western society has gotten just by how shitty western games are.
:lol: LOL I know people have some direct issues with you, but hell. You aren't lying hahahahaha.
Although Saints Row was lame as hell anyway even before it changed.

Callisto Protocols - Review

So guys this was my most anticipated game this year. Being such a simp for Dead Space really hyped up my expectations for this game. Having played at least half of the game I feel my expectations have been disappointed. Here is a side by side review of the two games and areas where Callisto Protocols falls short:

Horror: in terms of Horror and creatures you fight in Dead Space (5/5 score for Horror) Callisto fails to meet the standard I built in my mind. Enemies are all the same and there isn't much variation in strategy required to defeat these enemies. 2/5

Story: Dead Space is about Isaac Clarke, an engineer who has to go around fixing a ship to stop it blowing up and killing him or crashing into the planet etc. You revisit a lot of locations and see how much they've changed etc. The story is easily 5/5. Callisto is a linear path where you just hold the left stick forward. It lacks in much story or character development, but isn't that bad. Average score of 3/5

Woke Bullshit: Both games have no woke bullshit, a lack of which is now a prerequisite for me when playing games :lol: both games get 5/5 as they contain none of the stuff @Mercer mentioned.

Overall score for Callisto Protocol is 3/5 compared to Dead Space which I rank 5/5. The most horrific part about Callisto Protocol is its criminally long loading times. Because I play on the hardest difficulty setting I am dying a hell of a lot so I'm sitting through a shit load of loading screens and I think this constitutes as most of my play time so far. :roll:

In saying that I am enjoying playing through it at the moment for what it is, though I can't see me entertaining more than a single playthrough. Hope this review is helpful for anyone considering buying the game.

That's because it's only the popular games that are turning woke, nothing that no one has heard of before. If it's a game a lot of people bought before in the past and it gets remade, or has any sequels. Chances are they are going to do something like that to it. Some people were mad about one character in GOD OF WAR being black, when she was suppose to be white. Then the developers came up with some excuse as to why they did it.

On the topic of modern games forced into going woke, we need to create an entire parallel economy that includes all kind of digital content creation and (more importantly) payment processors.
Most indie games or music acts that make substantial but solid $$$ only have a niche following anyway, this is really something we should be looking at.

Big name people are talking about this now, Kanye and Candace Owens being two obvious examples, and then there's the alternative payment processors which aren't controlled by jews like Paypal is, while others are in startup mode. I'm still waiting to find out what happened with Glorifi going under so fast (3 months or so I think it was), but it shouldn't come as a surprise that heavy heat came down against them and made them fold. But some others like Gabpay and a few others I've read about on Reclaim the Net are there, and I think it'll be a new emerging space.
I'm watching that overall space like a hawk because I already do a lot of business through more or less mainstream payment processors, but I don't want to give any of the platforms run by jews any more of my $$$.

The jews threw down the gauntlet by slipping in all these clauses in their legal contracts in banks and paypal saying if you're discovered having posted "misinformation" anywhere through a personal or pseudonym profile even if it had no other connection to your business, they can literally steal your money and possibly even fine you for massive fees.

So get the f***ing picture already goyim: Yes, this is a remake of the "Gulag Archipelago" if goyim are weak and submissive enough to let the jews get away with doing all this same shit again like they did back in the bolshevik and Weimar days, you're f***ed even if you submit to them.

I've just found out about this Brazilian competitor to GTA which is being developed by a small independent studio. It's called "171" and is about organized crime.



I'm excited about a GTA-esque indy game being based in Brazil. Brazil is a country that has always interested me for its beautiful vivacious Latin culture, its smoking-hot women with big booties, and its baddass culture of MMA/Vale Tudo. Moreover, it seems like an appropriate location for a game about organized crime and gang warfare. GTA bases its games in fictitious versions of American cities such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles but this is something different yet equally believable.

From an aesthetic point of view, the game looks really good. GTA 4 struck me as overly gloomy and depressing and GTA 5 just seemed totally soulless, but this just has more soul. I love that aesthetic. It accurately represents what it is like to be in a Latin American town. The style of the buildings is done right. The atmosphere is captured perfectly. I miss Latin America so much. Most towns aren't as developed as they are in Western Europe but at the same time everything feels more real and has more soul. I really love LatAm's wild energy.

The gameplay hasn't been fleshed out yet but the YouTuber above took us through some of the basic delivery missions and then got into a shootout with an enemy gang towards the end. The driving is realistic. The combat seems as good as the modern GTAs. There is a territory takeover feature.

The overall atmosphere of the game seems quite serious. I personally prefer the over-the-top jocular parody style of the earlier GTA games but the game is set in a different culture so I don't know if that would work.

The game interests me because I'm a massive GTA fan but hate modern GTA games like GTA 5. I agree with the guy in the video: GTA needs a competitor.

Does anyone remember the old retro games? The likes of which you find in arcades and stuff? When it comes to gaming do you guys prefer the older retro games or more modern games?

I've been playing Streets of Rage today with @Lucas88 an old Sega classic where you walk the streets and beat the f**k out of random thugs for no reason with knives, bats and fists. :lol:



This is a playthrough on the hardest difficulty (me and Lucas played on this difficulty) but on this difficulty they don't take a single hit. Obviously me and Lucas got hammered by these assholes, but the nostalgia overridden any frustration we felt from losing the game lol

We have SOR4, and while the combat is more enjoyable than what it use to be because of the combos, it still sucks compared to SOR2 (and SOR2 Remake), and SOR3 because SOR4 have a lot of irritating ass restrictions and limitations. Like you cant earn enough exp like you can in the old games or keep your extra men. They take those away per stage. The music is trash and lazy, they ruined Axel by making him look like a homeless bum, but didn't do anything to Adam or Blaze other than make her look less white and for some reason made her look like a Latino which I didn't like. The art style is bland and don't have the 90s feel to it anymore.

I honestly don't like "modern" games at all, and they don't do anything other than remakes of everything from the PS1-PS3 era because developers got lazy as hell.

GTA don't have any competitors, Saints Row tried but it was just corny and gay as hell with all the fake ass gang stuff. GTA takes itself a little more seriously than that. Although GTA6 looks like it was developed by a bunch of Leftist so Im not even going to bother with that one when it's released. Mafia could have given GTA a little competition but it failed to do so.

I like GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, but I don't like GTA 4 and GTA 5. GTA 4 & 5 doesn't have the fun factor as the older games. All plastic shiny graphics and lack of gameplay and contents.

Saints Rows tried to compete with GTA series. I like Saints Row 1 and 2, but I hate Saints Row 3,4 and Saints Row Reboot. The later Saints Row sucks and too cartoony.

I played lot of Real Time Strategy games. I used to play Warcraft 3 for more than five years. They got DOTA(Defense of the Ancient) and lot of good user made maps. Warcraft 3 was one of my favorite games, but it all went down to sh*t when Blizzard kept churning out World of Warcraft MMORPG and never actually worked on Warcraft 4.

I like Command and Conquer series. Command and Conquer 4 sucked hard through.

I liked Rome Total War, Medieval 2 Total War, Empire Total War, Napoleon Total War, Shogun 2 Total War, Rome 2 Total War, Atilla Total War.
I Haven't tried Warhammer total War yet.

I also like RPGs such as Diablo 2(Diablo 3 sucks a$$ and too cartoony), Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect Series.
I have limited exposure to JRPG. The only JRPG I played was Final Fantasy 10.

Currently I am playing Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword. I don't like Civilization 5 and 6. They are too cartoony and lack of features as Civilization 4.

I've never played SOR4 but I've watched through some of the playthroughs.

Here's a video of a playthrough with Blaze:



The French art style looks interesting but the physics seem weird. The new game doesn't look anywhere near as fun as the first two.

SOR4 Blaze looks hot as fcuk though. She's thicker than ever, tanned, got beautiful long brunette hair and has a delicious pair of big-ass knockers. I get turned on imagining myself caressing those thick tanned legs! :P I admit that, even as an adult, I still jack off to Blaze!

In fact, I always play as Blaze. Not only is she sexy as hell but she's also a Judoka and I love her throws and suplexes. SOR2 and SOR3 Blaze is also a little hottie!

Blaze was originally conceptualized as a Hongkongese policewoman. She was going to be Asian but then they decided to make her an American brunette. I think that they made the right decision because, as a Caucasian female, she appeals to a much larger fanbase in the West. As for SOR4 Blaze, if you give a cute Caucasian brunette enough butt injections and time in the sun, of course she becomes a Latina!

The opposite happened with Lara Croft, by the way. Lara Croft was originally a Latina called Laura Cruz but they turned her into an English archeologist of aristocratic descent. Lara Croft is still hot as fcuk though, even for a fervent Latina lover like me. She was especially hot in the 2nd game when her boobies actually became round! :lol:

Saints Row 1 and 2 are good games. Saints Row 2 is the best in the series.
GTA really needs some serious competition to make their game more interesting. I played both GTA 4 and 5 and both of them feel "stale" compared to San Andreas, Vice City and GTA 3. GTA 5 was really boring and it just felt like grinding and slogging through the storyline.
Rockstar's mistake was focusing on GTA online too much for the past ten years and GTA 6 looks like a bloody GTA 5 mod with different character skins. I don't like they are forced to install Woke culture and Latina main character.. it seems so forced and Vice city again? Gimme a break.

GTA5 is boring and soulless. The gameplay sucks. It's all about muh graphics and muh humongous map.

If you wanna play a good GTA game, I recommend the older ones such as GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas and Vice City Stories. The graphics aren't as good and the maps aren't as big but the gameplay is awesome for all of these games and you'll have a whole lot of fun.

GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas are now available for PS4 and PS5 in the form of the Definitive Edition. Many people complained about this remaster but it isn't as bad as people say and it serves its purpose for those of us who want to play the classic games on modern consoles and with half-decent graphics.

Currently I am playing Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword. I don't like Civilization 5 and 6. They are too cartoony and lack of features as Civilization 4.
Dude! I literally jizzed in my pants when I read that you like GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas as well as Command & Conquer! I used to play C&C too, especially the first generation of C&C games (Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Counterstrike and Aftermath). They were all off the hook! 8)

I also played Civilization 1. It was pretty cool. I also wanted to play Alpha Centauri because I liked the philosophical theme of civilization starting anew in some distant star system and the idea of competing ideological factions (as well as a strong curiosity about the Centaurus star system in real life and the possible civilizations that might exist there), but I never got around to playing it.

Be sure to check out GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories if you haven't already. They're two underrated GTA prequels. VCS is especially a whole lot of fun! 8)
