I refused to give scalpers the business. I waited a year and bought my series x at normal price. It makes me so happy to hear they’re struggling now
Same here. It took me one and a half years until I finally had a PS5. But waiting that long to buy it for a normal price was definitely worth not giving some scalper a**hole the satisfaction. And yeah, anyone who bought one from a scalper is just as shitty a person as the scalpers themselves.
I liked setting up meetings with scalpers to buy their consoles but then never showing up. I’d also be like
“Sorry I’m running late. I’ll be there in 10 more minutes” repeatedly until they finally got the hint.
Waste as much of their time as possible lmao 🤣
@@bigpapacrusty4034 This is the way.
I feel no sadness for them.
@@bigpapacrusty4034 That's the greatest idea anyone has ever had! Bravo sir, bravo
$400k for a skin sounds like digital money laundering.
My first thought as well. No way any sane or insane person is gonna pay 400k for a damn skin unless they belong to the 0.001% of the world's richest.
Dude, stole the words from my mouth 👏🏻
It’s activision’s business models
Remember in office space when the office workers who work on computers everyday had to look up money laundering in the dictionary because they had no home computer and google didnt exist? ... yeah, i felt old
@@Unknown_Genius Laundering money is actually very obvious most of the time and legal (real estate). We lobby our government (America) to make crimes legal if you have the money. If you launder money or do crimes at a street level, you will get punished. They love to audit the poor and let the rich go.
Sorry I went on a rant but this is more likely.
My initial reaction to the temperature-changing controller is that it'd be nice to have a controller that can keep your hands cool during a summer gaming session, or warm during a winter one.
My reaction is heat + vibration = illicit uses by the lonely.
Oh boi! Welcome to the middle east where it's summer all year round!
@@terrafirma5327 It is sad that my mind went there as well... that's enough internet for me today, lol
@@rogen8094 Lol yup. Especially since it changes shapes...
Then it bursts into flames and burns your house down when it has a major malfunction.
The EVE Online thing is fun because, essentially, it's an active player who's tired of being in a guild run by a bunch of inactives, but can't get out because of his investment, getting his rich friend to help him takeover, so he can start playing again.
Here for my monthly dose of weird! And Unrecord definitely falls within the uncanny valley of weird!!
🤝
Same!
@@gameranxTV your go go gadget controller comment was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even if Unrecord is a "bad game", the things it will do with graphic fidelity will push boundaries
Also that Eve Online heist blows my mind, what genius
It's Unreal Engine Features Nanite and Lumen that AAA studios are to big and bloated with bureaucracy and systems to adopt instantly
@Thanos_Dawn dont get me wrong I prefer stylized games more than I prefer games to look hyper realistic, but I think it can show what Unreal Engine can do and will open an opportunity for indie developers to create games that they have always wanted to, especially in the horror community
That Eve Online heist wasn't that spectacular lol, there's been more heists on Eve that payed out way more than that
I Hope Sony Buys them and then they can make a Call of Duty Clone that would beat call of dutys graphics
The movement alone is the most impressive thing for me. I cant see it working in a competitive fps but I could see it excelling in horror
8:40...I actually really love the idea of this being a challenge they set up like literally making a challenge run for people to play through FPS games without committing a war crime to raise awareness, that's actually kind of genius
Pacifist run in Undertale comes to mind.
It's just a precursor to them at some point charging people for war crimes. They'll say that if you'll do it in a game, then you're the kind of person to do it for real. Mark my words, they'll do it. Especially with games like Unrecord coming out. They'll say games are becoming too realistic not to hold people accountable for what we do in games.
"No Russia" from the OG MW2 campaign instantly came to mind.
Playing as a undercover terrorist on a killing spree 😬🤐
@@brewskiproductionslasvegas. I won’t hold my breath. This won’t happen the way you think it does, and if anything similar does happen it’s unrelated because they have been saying “violence in video games…” for decades.
I do question why you claim this.
You should look up games that violated the Geneva Convention, ironically mostly because they used a red cross, as the only people allowed to are... The Red Cross
The news of Scalpers having trouble selling their consoles is absolutely badass.
Unrecord looks insane. Love this series. ❤
lol watching a gameplay would feel surreal, literally watching a bodycam footage in third person perspective.
@@CP077 it just looks like watching the fucking news of yet another police officer shooting yet another unarmed man, frankly.
@@CP077 Right?! If a glitch happened, I'd either accept it was a game or trip out
I love how sassy falcon was in this episode😂
Oddly satisfying to hear him taunt the scalpers. The fact that he gets that salty about it just proves that he's truly one of us.
@@Ben-rz9cfIf you want to see a visual representation of how much scalpers are loosing, go to Stockx and look at the chart on the bottom, I love it 📉
Scalpers having trouble to sell ps5 is just ironic😂
Any time I ever hear about this Eve online game it sounds like the most insanely detailed groundbreaking industry changing game ever made that takes transporting you to a fantasy world to another level….then I see the gameplay and I’m just so confused
1 part space sim, 1 part stock trading simulator.
Eve online is basically excel spreadsheet. It's not for everyone it's complicated tried it once after an hour stopped playing
I literally laughed my ass off that a scalper at my job tried to justify thats its a real job lmfao i couldnt hold it in
@@Unknown_Geniuslol local stores or big buisnesses do it differently then buying a product as a consumer and re selling it above market value inflating prices. Your stupid its not the same thing at all.
I look forward to these stories every month always something interesting going on in the world of gaming
🤝
@@gameranxTV still for that 'wierd gaming stories' playlist.
Seriously it would really nice to have it.
The PS5 story makes me so happy. Those guys get what they deserve.
The red cross thing is actually pretty genius. It's a really great way to show people (people who probably don't know) what war crimes are and how often they happen IRL. Kudos to whoever thought it up.
To be fair, it would also be a fun challenge.
@Ivan Luft collect all the war crimes
no crimes in war
War crimes the game. You know people would buy it. You already have a script for it. It's in the UN conventions of unethical word practices.
You know... the $400k skin would make perfect sense if it was money laundering.
I think you might be on to something with this comment, very 'suspicious'!
I think the flat structure thing Jay was referring to was just that it's kinda impossible to do if the higher ups don't care to make it. Usually with game companies they would want you to present something to them to even consider pursuing it. It's hard doing work and trying to get this 3rd game made 🤷🏾♀️
Yeah definitely confused as how he interpreted "flat structure" as to the work being involuntary. I think he needs a dictionary, involuntary would mean they are literally forced to do it against their will, forced meaning the consequences for disobedience is physical power. Sounds like some commie gobbledygook to me.
No Valve is structured where, basically everyone works on their own passion project and if you can convince your co-workers of its potential it will continue development. The developer for the Steam Deck went into pretty solid detail in his interview with the Friends Per Second podcast crew a couple months ago.
Basically, valve doesn’t have the traditional “higher-ups” which creates difficulty getting resources to start and complete projects. With a more hierarchical structure, he could then go to the “higher-ups” and tell them what he wants to do but needs additional resources to complete the project. He needs to sell to one person/group to Marshall resources. It sounds like in the current structure he would be required to go around to each person and convince them for their help individually when they have their own competing interests at play.
this Arc thing sounds like the 2nd heist history of this month.
"Don't shoot downed people" apex legends just got way more tough .
Falcon is my guy 😂I love Jake and the Gameranx team as a whole but Falcon cracks me up every time 💪🏿💪🏿
Honestly the Red Cross is a cool thing but would be better if they also included Teabagging as a war crime too.😅
Ahh it's that time of the month again! I always look forward to these!
The cooling ability of the controller could be nice considering I do find my hands get warm and sometimes sweaty from playing long sessions. But the battery is already a issue with longevity so they need to improve that before adding more functionality that will drain the battery even quicker.
Never a dull moment in life hearing these monthly stories. The body cam story started alot of controversy due too realism in video games again.
The scalper one make me so happy I can't stand people who rushing the stores buy up five or six or eight game systems Wait until supply gets low and then tries to sell them for two or three times more than what they're worth That's what they get.
The scalper story makes me happy.
Imagine thousands of years from now and they find the elvish language later on and say it was aliens and or a human race that they never found out about.
Then there will be the controversy of half the people rebuying Ark losing all their saves.
I always enjoy these videos, thank you for making them.
Anime pfp
"GoGo Gadget Controller" 😂😂had a good laugh there Falcon
Cant have a weird gaming story without someone spending unnecessary huge amount of cash in a video game.
Money laundering lol
Eve Online always has great scemes
The BEST gaming story is how awesome gameranx channel is!
Not mentioned in the ARK news is that players will be able to download their current public server to continue solo or on a private server, so not all is lost. Odd stuff going on with the ARKs lately but I'm still hopeful... possibly foolishly so.
That case hardened ak with Titan stickers in the thumbnail💀
Gameranx stay putting out content! Love it!
the fact you post 2 videos sometimes when you dont need to is impressive
My body is ready for Portal 3....
Unrecord: The Day Before Edition lol
For real tho, I'm super excited for Outlast Trials. It comes out May 18 and I'm definitely getting that. It's gonna be so good, especially since there's multiplayer. Also, the Golum game looks like Styx, which is ok cause the Styx games were really good stealth games. Also, if i want to commit war crimes in a game, then I'll commit a war crime.... because it's a video game....
I absolutely love watching these kinds of vids and I love this channel.
I don't know how you guys do it? Two videos in one day. How do you keep coming up with ideas, not to mention good ones? Just goes to show how good you are. You might have to change your outro to say and sometimes two videos in one day, Lol. Thank you for the great content. Keep up the good work.
They got a whole team. Falcon, the new guy and Jake. Probably more
Based on that valve story, they don't do much research. Valve's employees don't volunteer their time without pay, they get paid no matter what they work on. The just choose what projects they want to work on.
TBH the skin prices in CS have skyrocketed in price since the announcement of CS2 and it is not unrealistic for the skin to go for that high
These are the best, wish you had 'em in a playlist!
I bought Ark years ago because my friend told me he and a bunch of his friends were playing it a ton. So I shilled out $90 to buy the game + DLC that I needed to play with them. We played a little bit before they all stopped playing like 2 weeks after I bought it. While I did play it a bit on my own afterwards, I've hardly touched it. I keep telling myself I ought to sit down and put like 20 hours into it so it's not a complete loss, but hearing this news, I might just donate it or sell it to Gamestop.
I don't care too much for a controller that warms up or cools down but one that steady stays cool would be amazing
Yeah, Sweaty hand Syndrome! I've have a Hand Towel to Fix it, For YEARS!
I love the “WEIRD Gaming Stories of” videos ❤️
This was very entertaining, thanks Falcon and gang for putting it together. And yeah that's pretty dirty getting people to buy the game again at full price.
Sweet, my favorite monthly series is back!
I just wanna know what kinda games it'll take for my ps5 to sound like a jet engine (ps4) in a few years time
Well yer know, do you remember rumble packs? I thought that was stupid but that concept works really well now.
Diving at high speed in Horizon from really high up feels brilliant.
When it's the weekend, you know gameranx won't let you down. 💯
Imagine playing a horror game with Unrecord graphics... in VR. Is anybody ready for that?
Hi gameranx!!
Hi
you know, as someone with raynaud's disease, a controller that can warm up your hands sounds great to me, just sayin
Grinning ear to ear hearing about the scalpers not selling ps5s..hahah
Even if i'm done with the gaming since a long time now, i still love to hear every now and then some weird gaming stories. Have fun.
Woohoo! It's Saturday! Time to play the Last of Us 2! I just wanna be cool enough to make to a gameranx story one day
I recommend not playing that game, you will thank me later 🙂
Tremendous game. Tremendous series all together. Enjoy 🍻
@@killahboi84 🤢🤮
@@CODMWX lol why??? I mean the 1st game storyline was better. Not taking anything away from part 2. But part 2 was like a revenge, anxiety attack game. Just because the tough situations you face. However hell of a damn game. One of the best I've played
@@killahboi84 2 was so bad I couldn't finish it, it was so boring lol. I just wanted to let him know to better buy another game as tlou2 just sucks
Good joke about the controller 😂 11:25
My god your vids are popular! And for good reason. This game is unbelievably UNREAL
Yeah the Red Cross are really freaking strange for that ask, but it's an effective move. How often do you stop and think about the crazy shit you do in games that is straight up terrible and happening in places like Ukraine rn? Just food for thought IMO, I dont think they honestly care how we play but to remember not to get desensitized to violence. It gave me something to think about so hey, kudos Red Cross marketing department or whoever
"effective move" your joking right?!😂
All it made we do was do the opposite of what they wanted.
I guarantee it wont effect anything. I have committed more war crimes in my gaming career at this point than all participants of WW2 combined and Im not gonna stop anytime soon.
Paradox games players can relate.
LOVE the heist story!! Real life Oceans Deux going on. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Babe wake up new Gameranx just dropped
"I T pose from information like this" is an extremely accurate descriptor.
#3 is such sweet, sweet music to my ears...
Okay but having a controller that you can mold to your hands might be the coolest accessibility thing ever.. I'd scoop that right up.
Unrecord style game, but in a forest with a Blair Witch vibe - Would be the scariest horror game ever
Absolutely hilarious with Falcon being sarcastic towards the scalpers 😂
That EVE Online Heist Was Top Tier
I'm still giddy that I came across a PS4 Pro pre-pandemic and kinda had the money for it, because I ended up discovering I had cancer a few months later, and was housebound during the biggest waves of Covid. PS5 launched and immediately went to scalpers, but they seemed to stop making PS4's as well, so nothing was available for like 2+ years.
11:46 Thoughts on the controller, I think it would be interesting to try.
I legit loved the line “it would shut my brain off… I’d T pose”
People will buy literal human waste if it just happened to come from a celebrity. I'm not very surprised.
That Red Cross war crimes awareness thing is just awesome!
Falcon has made me laugh out loud more than once in this video haha
I love that this has become monthly thing!
I love that the scalpers are not able to sell these consoles funny enough I bought mine directly from Sony
#3 omg! wow thanks for the great news Gameranx, made my day.
You basically cannot even play Paradox games properly if you dont commit war crimes lol.
That sony controller idea needs to happen. It would add a whole other level of immersion.
That beat at the end was bumping
Falcon doesn't realize we are already in hell.
😆
Falcon is for the avian friends & sometimes for the people lol. Keep the great vids coming king of the skies!
"Don't commit war crimes in games"
Boots up Spec Ops the Line
To the scalpers,”Karma is a bitch!”🤣🤣🤣
The 2 videos in 1 day type of mood! 🎉🎉🎉
As far number 9 it’s definitely not hard to get a good job with a record lol
The PS5 news made me so happy and felt like victory eventhough i did nothing 😂
Dude that's Ocean's 11 level of heist, love it
Gameranx going crazy today
never thought I'd see the day when I enter a game store to see tons of ps5 for sale
I can see why Elvish-speaking Gollum is DLC, well he's Hobbit not Elf after all
I get the feeling Falcon is God-fearing, with how much he speaks of Hell and not wanting to be there.
Number 3 was such tear jerker
Oh boy, I guess Red Cross never met Rimworld players.
Nice video today Gameranx.
I actually don’t see PS5s in my area still unless they’re in GameStop which only sells bundles for some reason (which are like 100-150 more). And forget about finding a digital edition (the one I want) it’s impossible.
That eve online heist was actually wild 😮
Hailing from Barbados, Always look forward to this show!!🇧🇧
How falcon described number 7, the 400k$ skin totally got me😂😂😂
