It also didn't age very well. At all. Surprising amount of PS3/360 games didn't age as well as I thought. I wouldn't call it bad but it's…jank.

    State of Play RECAP + Pokemon FireRed on Switch?! 🎮

    Games played  Kev - Weekly Weigh in: 248.8 Dave the diver (B tier) Story: https://g.co/gemini/share/f6c919928408 This game is wonderful, fun to explore the ocean. The story is super interesting. It goes from just driving and running a restaurant to a story about helping sea people But also as I'm writing this there's a f****n anime rhythm game happening https://youtu.be/Bcsky6xtrS0?si=86ogasO7K5_WGjHO  The cutscenes in this game are ridiculous Game really goes in different directions as it goes on.  I was ready for it to end by the end. I was enjoying the restaurant management but then it takes a huge backseat  Burnout Paradise (Not Tiering) Tried burnout paradise but I do not like the map navigation and how you learn the turns though the races. Not for me Diappointing because I know people LOVE burnout Crysis remastered (C tier? Not worth it) https://gemini.google.com/share/0df2ce0b8c29 (important to explain 2) It may be remastered but it got some jank but I wonder if that's just remote play jank? Did some research, apparently a lot of people feel likes its very dated…but pretty  So… CRYSIS 2 (D Tier) Story setup: https://gemini.google.com/share/96cb74d5a9db  I guess this is polarizing to original crysis fans because its a little more streamlined and not as hardcore as 1 They’re wrong, this is much better This is halo. I'm realizing this is just halo on earth  AI broke https://bsky.app/profile/consolekev.bsky.social/post/3mew5auxko22h  Now it's just crashing a lot in the same spot. https://bsky.app/profile/consolekev.bsky.social/post/3mewbdiqzyk2g  I don’t think I’m gonna be missing anything by not experiencing the end of crysis 2 Just finishing the week with wwe 2k25 because I don’t wanna start a new thing until after the podcast.

    The "Wallets are Crying" Choice: RIP Cheap Gaming: Switch 2 & Steam Machine Price Hikes 📈

    Games played  Kev - Weekly Weigh in: 250.4 Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart(A tier) Story setup: https://g.co/gemini/share/9ba33f470256  First game I played on ps5 with these adaptive triggers, I feel like I'm going to break them Call of duty Black ops 7 (B tier) Hey this is pretty cool  I dunno if I have the crackhead energy to compete  But I also played the campaign…which is designed to be played multiplayer. You can't pause it. It's always online. WWE 2k25  Blood omen: Legacy of Kain (not tiering) OLD GAME IS OLD AND DARK No tier Jak II (D tier) Story setup : https://g.co/gemini/share/ea7f1387794f  Unnecessary open world with nothing in it. Vehicles kinda suck to drive  I genuinely can't stand this. 1 hour in and I was like rather stab myself.  Super disappointing because I love jak and Daxter  Monster hunter generations revisit (not tiering) It's weird because I like monster hunter when I play it , a lot. When I'm not playing it they seem so intimidating  After playing monster hunter world…they are tedious going back to the old style Yeah I don't wanna do this right now, not with a child A Little Robert Journey to kill time Got a win with the engineer so that was cool Aren - Weekly Weigh in: 274.9 Mlb the show 25 Yugioh gx duel academy Balatro Exit 8 (B Tier) cloverpit —-------------------------------- News Who wants this? https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-has-patented-a-touchscreen-playstation-controller-that-lets-players-choose-where-to-put-the-buttons/  Valve confirms Steam Machine price and release details have been delayed by exploding component prices | VGC  Nintendo Will "Carefully Consider" A Switch 2 Price Increase, Says Furukawa  Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer

    Ubisoft Cancels EVERYTHING + Rockstar’s Boiler Room Blast

    Games played  Kev - Weekly Weigh in: 253 Smash Bros ultimate  WWE 2k25  More universe  Turbo overkill  https://g.co/gemini/share/7ec2b90db29a  Stupid brainless fps in a good way  Game needs a map I was enjoying it but the level navigation is infuriating  Kirby Superstar on SNES (c tier) It's like 8 Kirby miningames. And I just uh…don't find any of them that interesting. I'd rather have one deep Kirby game. This game is only 4 hours. Just for funsies, this SNES cart goes for $65…lul Red Dead Redemption (s tier) The ending of this game is taking forever. The last chapter is all farm worker and kind of boring unfortunately.i get why they do it, to set up the tragic ending. That being said, it's effective and the ending really gets you. I knew what was gonna happen too and it still hits. Super Mario 64 I tried it again just to see. Turns out I still don’t like it. Panzer Dragoon Remake (B tier) It's like starfox but dragoons and threats come from all sides  It's an hour long and…people paid money for this back in the day eh? Well for $3 it was fine. Red Dead Redemption 2 https://gemini.google.com/share/ad68717396d4  Definitely a slower start than RDR 1 Snow part wasnt that bad Way more “scripted" than the first game.
