PS3 was the first console I ever bought for myself. I was around 14-16 and I just got $100. My grandpa took me to the local city pawn shop where he knew the jeweler and I got a PS3 with 2 controllers for $110. Didn't have enough for the change so thank you grandpa for covering me r.i.p. also didn't have enough for any games so my first games where all used older cods and stuff from my uncle. That was one of the best purchases I ever made. I made so many memories on that thing until the day it fried.

I legit admire the Vegas 2 guy. As a consumer, I've become way too complacent. I do not approve of A LOT of the things Sony do or have done in the past few years. I never was a fan of having to pay for online, or limiting cross-play, or increasing the price of PS+ so many times, or the PS+ games not only falling in quality significantly since the service was introduced, but also becoming far fewer in number, and now $70/80 euro games. But what else am I gonna do? I still pay for PS+ because I don't want to lose my older Plus games, and I still bought a PS5 because I want to play the exclusives. Even though I thoroughly disagree with Sony's money-grubbing practices. And then there's the Vegas 2 guy, who saw Sony charging for online and was like "Yeah, fuck that", then he just simply did not buy a PS4. That dude's living his best life. I hope to have the guts to be like him one day.

I've been watching this PS3 series you do since you first started it. It's fascinating to realize that multiplayer games have a different lifespan from single player games. In addition, it's fascinating how different gaming is perceived by different players depending on their interests. I know, it probably sounds like "duuuh", but it's still fascinating. Here's what I mean. I've always been a single player gamer. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way. I play mainly JRPG's and Action adventure games. I play other stuff, but always single player. When the PS4 came out, multiplayer no longer being free had zero impact on my experience as a gamer and as a consumer. For example, I played Dark Souls 1 and 2 on the PS3. I played Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne (and now even Elden Ring) on my PS4. And it's all good. It's the same experience. Different games, but same experience. And yes, I remember engaging in PVP and coop on Dark Souls on the PS3 a couple of times. However, not being able to do that once I got a PS4 didn't affect me. I didn't miss the multiplayer component. Now I'm hearing the guy on this video explaining how he boycotted the PS4 because he had to pay for multiplayer, and it dawned on me just how different our experiences as gamers have been. I'm not even criticizing, I think he actually made very good points why he didn't want to pay. If anything, I actually agree. It's the fact that I had never, ever stopped to even think about that what fascinates me. Aside from the time I got a PS4 pro and needed to upload all my save files to the cloud, I've never paid Psplus. It's been a non issue for me. I still don't have a PS5, but I probably won't pay when I get one either. Watching this video also got me thinking about the lifespan of games. I was coincidentally playing with my PS3 today. I played Fallout 3 and Kingdom Hearts 1. It's interesting that, because of my choice of games, their lifespan is kind of infinite. What I mean is, I'm sure it's hard for the people showcased on this video to consistently find other players to play with. If there are not players actively engaging with the game, then you can say that the game's lifespan is over. That's not something I have to worry about. The games I play have a lifespan equal to what I choose to give them. Meaning, as long as I choose to play them, they'll be there. I don't know. Hopefully I made sense with my rambles. It's just that I truly had a realization and felt like I had to talk about it.

It would be incredible if the server's for some of these games lasts until 2026. It would mean we would have 20 years of online multiplayer for PlayStation 3. I believe the last PlayStation 2 game to go offline was Final Fantasy 11 back in March of 2016, which was nearly 15 years after online multiplayer was first offered on the PS2 and we're already setting records here might as well keep going

We done it twice as once the 2 killing the bikers had to leave lobby because we wouldn't make it in time otherwise. The other time the one destroying the boat left and I picked up the 2 destroying the bikes. Anyways it is a hard one took us about 3hrs of trying to get it done for all of us. The other 2 missions aren't bad as long as you both are good. If your gonna look for people I suggest looking up psnprofiles and looking at recent earners of other trophies that don't have it. That's how I got my team together. Only 2 I've got is left is win every team based activity and participate in everything which will be very time consuming as it means you must do all maps of everything. That's over 200 races and other stuff. The single player grind took me 35hrs but felt much longer. Collectibles, stunt jumps, grinding races, drug missions relationship and other trophies is very annoying. Then I also had the frustration of what I missed for 100%. It was do every activity with every friend and 2 stranger missions. (A lot of people miss those from what I've seen) Anyways I started the whole thing about 3-4 months back because it's a pain to even boot up the PS3 but eventually I'll get it and if you really want to you can too.

But sorry for the confusion, I'm the one trying to make a 'spiritual successor' to Split Second, not the Disney or the studio that created Split Second. Although I'm just 1 person and currently just pretend it's a hobby and a way of learning the whole game-development process. And I want everything in the game created by myself. So no use of assets from others and such. Except for sound bits, as I'm not an audio expert. Split Second itself is owned by Disney and the studio that developed Split Second, was dismantled and put onto others projects, or something like that. I also think it wasn't a financial success (in the eyes of a giant like Disney), so a sequel was scrapped. For me, Split Second was a near perfect and fun arcade racer. It just 'missed' some things because you can find faults in any game you play a lot. And not so much faults but more of "The next time they should do this and that to expand on it".
