10 worst moments in video game history that sucked
video description
You were faster than a horse at fairly mid to early level and could steer yourself in first person without crappy, sloppy tank controls.
After my first playthough of Oblivion I have never used a horse. My first, I abandoned that after two hours. Horses made the game demonstrably less fun to me.
In Skyrim I tried out a horse for maybe a half hour before just reloading. I tried Shadowmere. I tried Arvak. I tried Frost. They all sucked. Not for me. Give me my own two feet and plenty of Stamina.

For the creations of the ESRB, I somewhat hate it because it destroyed any game that was too much and practically made it impossible to sell AO games. Sadly those Congress people didn't have the thought or courage to blame the parents who would literally not even know what the heck they are buying for their kids. Even in the modern age when i was working at gamestop i had parents buy little timmy or sally GTA V because they asked for it (which is what i assume happened, then get mad at me for selling them the game in which i had no knowledge they were even buying it for the kid. a lot of problems that involve kids are usually because the parents are so shitty, little billy in punching kids on the playground? blame it on his ADHD instead of the parents not doing everything they can to help little billy not to punch other kids. Heck, that kid who shot his teacher just recently was required to have his parents with him while he attended school. The one week that the parents didn't show up (and the school allowed the kid to attend still) kid rolls up with a gun and shoots his teacher. almost all the blame in this case would be on the school and the parents, and the kid should be in juvi because this ain't a small crime or anything nor was it the first, but nah people are like kids will be kids and kids don't know any better, sorry? if a kid shot you, you're not gonna exactly be okay with that and pass it off.
Also to add, the 2011 sony hack, my speculation was due to the geohots lawsuit had against him and the modding community which overlap with a lot of hackers thought of him being a pioneer in the scene. He was the one who argued that since the customer has bought the product, they should have the ability to do what they want with the device including stuff that would void its warranty. He never advocated for piracy or anything but he did put out jailbreaks for iOS and the PS3 allowing homebrew applications to be installed like Linux on the PS3. Due to Sony winning the lawsuit, it gave Apple enough leverage to disallow people from jailbreaking their devices as well. lets just say the community was very unhappy with the results thus I believe the sony hack was a retaliation or a coincidence in timing.

Another One, back when - if game was going to be on different platforms, each platform had basically a completely different version. Like the PS2 version would be completely different from the Xbox and Gamecube version. Luckily this stopped around the 7th gen when hardware was pretty competent, only happened to begin with because of different hardware limitations.
But now its problem if youre wanting to play those older games, because there is no definitive version of the game. So you had the choice of either playing the version that has better graphics or the version with more levels. Never both, unless the publisher re-releases a remaster of the game, which then the remake would have differences that might be worse than the original (Silent Hill HD.
One example I remember was GTA San Andreas. Playing it now is pretty hard because every version available has differences.
OG Xbox: Its alright but is missing graphical features that PS2 version had, like sunrays and better looking grass and water.
The HD re-release on PS3 & 360: Broken port of the mobile port. Tons of bugs, aswell as game breaking bugs that can soft lock you.
Original PC Port: Considered the only definitive play it, but hard to even purchase because it was delisted from Steam and replaced with the Definitive Edition
Definitive Edition: Worst way to play, you already know how bad it is.

My son is 14 & oldest daughter is 12. I have ran a full playthrough of RE4 Remake with both seeing the majority of the opening chapter at least. So when I explained to them that the original game was pioneering they both were suprised to learn that i had not only had the game on gamecube but also on ps2, with both systems in the house. So i grabbed my ps2 and popped in re4, and boyyyyyyy did they ever look at me like, how in the hell did you ever play this game. My response, this game was and still is legendary & essentially responsible for a bunch of what we have now. They had little clues as to what i meant, so once they realized the things I kept pointing out they started to put 2 & 2 together and i saw it AND heard it from their own mouths as they came to the conclusion that this was an 18 year old game, that for the most part was the game i was just playing on the ps5. I will thank video game companies greatly for remaking some of these games. Because it can keep the great games and tales of the old days when games were doing never done things and then being the turning points for genres, gameplay styles, art & game production. Now i just have to get an OG copy of Unreal Tournament to explain to them that THIS is what made Fortnite.

I used to believe that people should be allowed to do what they want with their own money. They earned it and therefore have the right to use it as they see fit. But then microtransactions became a thing and their profitability made the quality of games, particularly multiplayer games, drop substantially. In other words, people with more money than brains where disproportionately lowering the quality of games for everybody because of how they chose to spend their money.
Now I harshly judge anyone who purchase microtransactions for directly funding and supporting a content model that is, in all senses, a complete negative to the gaming community as a whole.
And what really astounds me is that we are pretty much among a generation of gamers who have never known a world where games without microtransactions actually existed. And they can't comprehend just how much better games _could_ actually be today if they didn't exist. To put it simply, there would be far more Elden Rings in the world today if microtransactions didn't exist.

My partner and I had just moved into a new place and couldnt afford to pay for home internet on top of phone bills and rent. We were watching shows that I had stored on a flashdrive and playing xbox 360. We bought an Xbox one because they said you didnt need to be online to play games (this was almost two years after its release that we bought it. We went home with the XB1 and Fallout 4 only to not be able to move my xbox360 profile with a flashdrive like I used to between xbox360s - also I couldnt make a new profile without being online. I called the gamestop I bought it from, and the worker told me to come up there with the system, booting it up, taking it online, and setting it all up for me. Afterwards, I went home and could play and install new disc games offline no problem. Thankfully, we hadnt entered the Age of Broken Releases quite yet, and I didn't have issues with games. Though my Fallout 4 didn't have mods or Survival difficulty until I got the internet a year later.

Horse armor was among the first but, being the first, nobody had any clue at all how much to charge for this stuff. So, they made a whole bunch of (what we now call) DLC from the horse armor all the way up to the Razor quest, which was a pretty big quest, and made each individual DLC cost 2. 50. Horse armor, 2. 50. Mage tower, 2. 50. Big, huge Razor questline, 2. 50. That should allow Bethesda to see how much content you have to dish out to get people to pay 2. 50 and then they could go from there.
It's pretty clear to me they expected the point people would stop paying to be somewhere between Razor and Horse Armor, so they were as surprised as everyone else. If they had expected the horse armor to sell, they would have made even smaller bits of DLC for 2. 50 too.

Here's one, file sizes. People forget that before then, games where only 10-15 GB in size. It was when the release of Titan Fall 1 in 2014 had a massive (at the time) 50GB file size. Alot of people where mad because of internet speeds, only just recently fixed, where pretty slow. So a 10 GB game would take a few hours, maybe overnight. a 50GB game would basically take all day. If I remember, Black Ops 3 followed up with also having a 50 GB file size, and now with all the DLC is like 150 GB.
And then Black Ops 4 had a base file size of around 100 GB.
The days of small file sizes from AAA games is now far gone.

Oh man. number 10. We (fiancee and I) got so damn lucky it was like winning a small lottery. I wanted the Xbox Series X and she the PS5. I found out when the pre-orders were going live for both and I was able to secure them from GameStop.
Where I really got lucky was that I live in Florida. Everything was pretty much open and because of that I didn't have to deal with any of that online nonsense. We have had them ever since and they have been great!
Addendum- Console in my living room? No, more like both consoles in our bedroom connected to two 4K UHDs. ;)

The technology simply hasn't been around long enough for there to be any valid study into the effects of video games on the human brain over the course of a lifetime. Literally EVERYTHING you put into your brain has some sort of effect. Believe me IT IS THERE. Now think for just a second how MUCH the videogame industry is worth and what that kind of money could or could not do as far as fixing the narrative. It is clear as carbon dioxide what the hell is happening there. LOL Edit: What do y'all think about Loop Hero? I was instantly addicted! LMAO!

#6: Shots have been fired at Linus of LMG! LOL
#5: Just stop giving Nintendo money until they stop being so anti-consumer. Nintendo games are the most pirated games for a reason.
#3: The sheer number of parents who don't pay attention tot he rating system for games is literally incalculable. I've seen uncaring mothers buy whatever game their kids point at for decades. The creation of the ESRB didn't actually help in any way, and considering the rumours I've heard about them taking bribes to give a rival companies game an M rating.

Wouldn't you suggest there's a resurgence of some sort coming back, as far as the game crash of 1983? Don't get me wrong, video games are at an all time high imo. But there are SO MANY bad games being released due to some sort of payoff. The most obvious one being cheap platinum trophy games(ratalainka games.
To where if you're looking for a good new indie-ish game that's cheaper than your AAA titles. It's harder to find those than the my name is mayo's of the world.

The Sony hack was just insane. The service was down for somewhere around 23 days and Sony just refused to admit how bad it actually was. Although they initially claimed that credit card data wasn't stolen, I was hit with it. I can't guarantee this is where it came from but my card data was stolen and someone tried to use it. Thankfully, however, my bank noticed unusual activity and shut down the card down before any transactions actually went through.

I once Watched a interview with the head of Bethesda and he explained why they used the price point of 2, 49. They had no idea what to charge, they where looking at other downloadable content on the store and based their price on that of that. microsoft charged 1 euro for a GamerPic, a jpeg, on the xbox. They were like. okay if a jpeg is 1 euro, our armor should be more than that so lets charge 2, 49. After the interview I kind agreed with the logic
