Nick:"I wish I could go back and play the original Mass Effect." Stav:"You can, dude." I like how oddly supportive Stav is to his gay friend, Nick.

Well any type of Light Gun requires a CRT, so games like Time Crisis etc. CRT also produces a much better image on older consoles, as the CRT noise was utilised to add more depth to the graphics.

Bullshit. A good game is literally rated off its replay ability. You can't tell me you haven't beaten FFX (the hard version with penance) anf then randomly 6 years later you just suddenly get this feeling like "bro i wonder if i can beat that shit even more dominantly". Somehow collecting 100% of all items and summons and beating a super boss in literally one attack before he can kill your entire party with full health in one hit himself... Just wasn't prestigious enough. Hold up ima go beat FFX HD again

Because of Rockstar, and any other games, being absolute dogsh*t for at least a decade now: No you can't feed anyone to alligators.
