It was a truly awful sound, didn't sound like just the disk was being scratched, it really sounded like the tray exploded. I had it happen on my brand new gtav disk twice, sad times. And I was like 10 so it was hard explaining to my grandparents that I was mature enought to get it TWICE
Ironic how yall used an image of Payday 2 Crimewave edition but never once touched on the whole Payday 2 on console debacle. Overkill really did the bear minimum for support and broke a ton of promises between 7-8th generations the worst being the Switch version.
In defense of overkill, the engine for payday 2 is really old that even the PC version is struggling to run some heists. The engine also makes it very difficult and expensive to port content to console because they need to rebuild it from the ground up to have it work right. I still have no clue why they made the switch version
@@jaywalking0d diesel engine sucks really bad, but this issue is just a small part of Overkill's lack of care. Look at payday 3, died pretty fast and you dont hear anyone say "You wanna play payday 3?"

Depends on the game. Anything with any kind of co-op or deathmatch NEEDS to have it though. It should be illegal to have a multiplayer mode, but no split screen.
1:05:16 Halo Infinite had a trailer that talked about customization THAT ENTIRE TRAILER IS STRAIGHT UP FALSE ADVERTISING (they told us the customization would be on halo reach level/ they also said THEY WERE LISTENING TO THE FANS FOR OTHER REQUESTS) THEY NEVER ADDRD IN WHAT THE FANS WERE ASKING
The greatest thing that has happened to Halo recently is the swap to Unreal Engine 5. Personally, I dislike the way to UE looks for Halo. Project Foundry looked poorly animated but that might be more related to the fact that they were trying to make things look nice instead of focusing on animations. The reason I do like it though is that they won't have to train developers on a unique engine where they waste a year of their two year contract trying to work out how everything works. Where the UE is essentially open to everywhere it is more easily accessible. In theory, it can mean a quicker turn around for games, as well as quicker fixes for issues within said games.
Not just that, the developers they brought in were all contractors and they would not have their contracts renewed because Microsoft didn't want to hire permanent employees
There are pros and cons to in-house engines. Generally for a game like Halo that doesn't stray too bravely into physics, open worlds, etc UE5 is probably fine. However this push towards standardizing engines is in part responsible for bloated game sizes, and lack of optimization, because nobody really has their head entirely wrapped around the ins and outs of UE. Some devs might like it, but I think it's not a good sign on it's own

I get kinda tired of the Mass Effect 3 ending hate. It was EA that made them ship the game out 1 year earlier than planned. Try wrapping up each characters story (depending on who you’ve saved, killed, romanced, fought) through two games and then get told you’re getting a year taken away and try to wrap it up the best you can

No, that's not the problem at all. The problem is that Mass Effect 1 set up a trilogy, Mass Effect 2 decided to throw that set up in the dumpster and go off on a side adventure with a minor faction in the first game while making no progress towards stopping the Reapers, and then with ME3 they had to write themselves out of a hole and somehow tie everything together. Despite all that, the campaign itself is pretty decent. Everything you did to repair the problems each species had in ME3 is what should've been done in ME2. Then 3 should've been an extended war with the Reapers where Shepard is involved on various fronts and uses a mcguffin that was set up in ME2 to beat back the Reapers. We should've learned more about them beyond human-reaper baby suicide mission against the collectors. Instead, BioWare focused on the personal stories of a wholly new cast of characters and completely ignored the overarching narrative they were building. It worked as a standalone product, but it also completely wrecked the IP to the point they'll probably never successfully recover it.
Man I took my copy of GTA5 for 360 to a professional disk repair place like 3 times. Every time, it would work immediately after being fixed but then be scratched the next time I look at it even if I hadn't touched my xbox or removed the disc at all. The Xbox 360 ABSOLUTELY scratched discs.
The halo 5 marketing was so deceptive of what really happened in the game. No tension no real beef, but a slap fight for maybe 2 minutes. Bullshit lol.
The sentiment about Titanfall being abandoned is mostly because a game that is widely recognized as the best FPS of the 2010s has been delegated as the backdrop for a generic battle royale. It's like the posterchild for corporate BS ruining the industry
That MCC to PC to hype Halo Infinite 100% worked on me I checked out a month after Halo 4, didn't even notice when MCC or Halo 5 came out, and didn't know anything about Infinite until I heard ODST was coming to MCC and MCC was coming to PC. Half of me is glad I got to sit down and enjoy the bungie games on PC, the other half is upset that I ever bothered trying another 343 Halo.
It wasn't great. It took them another year after release of infinite to put in coop and that killed it immediately for me. Since halo 2 I've gone through every single one on legendary with my brother. When infinite got announced we were super hype for the new story and that chiefs story was continuing, only for it to be such a humongous let down. Once it finally had coop me and him had some good fun with it, good enough fun to do the laso for it but other than that it's lifeless and uninspired.
Old man here, replayed all halo games to get a good view on the story and fill in the many blanks that I did not understand when I was younger (most of these came from 4 and 5, go figure). On Infinite now, but what a slog it has been since halfway in on halo 4. I don't know if UA-cam needs another hour+ opinionated video on Halo and the route 343 took, so I don't know if I'll bother. But man, the 343 games were better when I didn't understand and already gave up on before playing them for the first time on-release.
It amazes me that people still play apex legends when titanfall and titanfall 2 were clearly severely compromised. and then apex was hacked multiple times. hackers literally infiltrated a tournament and installed and ran cheats on player's pc. live in the tournament. and people after this long and obvious history of the game being *potentially a gateway to remote code execution*(because how the fuck else do you explain someone installing and running cheats on a pc like that?) and people were like "idk. maybe it was the antivirus" the game is **compromised. do not play it. Don't downplay it. This was a sign that the game is malware until actually and absolutely proven otherwise and that extends to both titanfall games too until its actually proven to be completely safe.** dont tell me "oh that's not what happened" nobody knows what happened. therefore the worst is to be assumed. the game is compromised. If you hear loud growls that sound like a hungry puma or really big wild cat across the corner do you say "well I cant see a puma. you cant prove there's a puma. This isnt necessarily dangerous" no no you dont. Installing malware because "hey I probably wont be targeted" is insane. dont do that.
I experienced two red rings of death on different consoles, and three disc rings of death despite being extremely careful after the first one. My Xbox 360 elite that I still have has never caused any issues or had the red ring.
When you mentioned "From the Ground Up" with the Slipspace Engine, I was waiting for it to be a Segway into talking about the Forza Motorsport Reboot and the lies they kept pushing before the games release.
Correction: The 360's red ring of death was not caused specifically by poor thermal design or lead free solder, there was a defect in the ATI GPU's substrate that similarly effected Nvidia chips in the PS3 and on PCs. The 360's poor thermal design likely contributed to a faster failure rate than other systems.
I'd honestly take any of the Mass Effect 3 endings over Andromeda, Anthem, and especially the new Dragon Age..We were complaing about ME3 and DA2 back in 2012 without actually realizing how good we had with Bioware compared to today..
21:30 mass effect 3 also incorporated their online INTO the campaign, meaning that if you didn’t 100% (and keep it at 100%) the online component - you wouldn’t get to see the complete epilogue. I remember mine cutting off at a very certain point, talking it out with a friend and having them tell me “oh no, there’s more to the ending” Nowhere did it tell you this - I sunk double digits into the single player to do every single thing too.
No, we would not have been ok if BioWare went out and said, “Ok, guys, there’s three endings. Take it or leave it” because as you mentioned, they were all boring copy pastas.
You asked for optimistic people to comment, so I'll give it a shot: Halo can probably be saved with decent management. It'll never be a phenomenon like it was from 2002 to 2010, but it'll still have an audience. Halo: Infinite has a decent core. It was just let down by a complete dearth of features and content for an obscenely long time after launch, and that comes down to poor project management. You mentioned another studio developed MCC with the current 343 studio head just managing their work. That was effectively their biggest problem, at least with Infinite. All of the bad press and lack of community trust means they're less likely to push their luck with BS features and trend chasing in their next release, which means the biggest hurdle to clear is releasing a solid game that's content rich. This is an achieveable goal. All that said, Microsoft will almost certainly screw it up out of greed and the marketing will be guaranteed to be full of lies. But hey, there's some reason to be optimistic.
In fairness to Frank O’Connor, it’s completely possible for him to have written the first draft or pitched the outline of Reach and then after that left Bungie to start 343 while they actually developed Reach. Like, because the story is done so early into a game, I don’t think him not being at Bungie when the game came out as proof that he couldn’t have been involved (Granted, it’s probably an exaggeration on his end but still)
i definitely remember my xbox scratching the hell out of my discs, 90% sure some of them were while it was completely stationary too lol kid me just assumed i wasn’t taking care of them well enough but after my hellspawn younger cousin moved my console while a disc was running(for who knows the hell why) i heard the grinding, panicked and took the disc out, saw that ring, and felt such a deep level of betrayal at the realization my own console was why so many of my games had gotten perfectly circle scratches
until I saw this video I woulda went my whole life thinking I just wasn’t taking care of my games I used to take my games to school and ask my friends why I kept getting circular scratches 😭 I was so confused bc it was the exact same every time the game literally could be sitting still next day you’re on yt looking up how to get your xbox 360 to read a scratched disk😂
I owned a slim model 360 and the disc scratches still happened. Had mine set up vertically and nudged it plugging in my controller. Gave a nasty white circle to my modern warfare 3 disc
4:16 Oddly enough I got lucky. A day 1 White Arcade with a 20Gb external that never got the red ring. Still have the puppy. She's starting to yellow, but she's still purdy. Such an oldie that when Destiny 1 came out, I had to purchase a 250Gb external upgrade, but I do still have my old 20 sitting in a box
I had a couple of 360 RRoD but each of them lasted a few years each. At most, the only issue my 1st 360 had was struggling to read brand-new, unscratched discs. I remember trying to play Dead Rising and it often struggled to play it as I'd get some play time and then a disc read error closing the game.
Why would they even put the red lights in the console if they didnt expect this to happen? Imagine how much money they made from everyone who got lost in sea of voices and ended up buying 2-3 consoles completely out of pocket.
The 360 was where I lost all trust in microsoft. I don't trust them and never will because they are fake. They knew the 360 was poorly built. They knew the risks but thought they could skate by. It cost them in the end but yet they still break trust consistently to this day. As a brand they were basically over with by the time the one released. I want them to succeed but they brought this on themselves.
This is a reminder that many of 343's lore and story issues stem from 343 letting Greg Bear write the background for the setting with little to no oversight from 343, as most of 343's management was focused on turning Halo into a multimedia blockbuster franchise. it wasn't until the 3rd book in Greg Bear's Trilogy was being written that any changes started to be requested by management (I'm guessing Frank O'Conner had to push that through despite 343's other managers.) 343 leadership and Microsoft wanted to have their cake and eat it too and only succeeded in falling face first on the cake and attracting redditors(Look at the halostory subreddit) to the Halo franchise that dickride 343 dogshit lore and writing. Despite the hate he got from the community, Frankie wasn't responsible for the issues that 343 Halo had. The issue was that either Microsoft executives or the rest of the 343 leadership members were incompetent.
I had probably the second version of the original 360, after moving it with left 4 dead running it scratched a deep ring into the disc. I took it down to the local video store to have it resurfaced only to have a ring scratched into the same disc a week or two later from a bump! After that I was so careful to have the console in a place where it could not be accidentally moved. I had many friends who have had the same thing happen, 100% of those models had this issue I'm sure of it.
I member the red ring of death. My parents got me a used Master Chief edition 360 for my birthday. I plugged it in, and bam, red ring. I was crushed as a child. I wanted the green 360 sooo bad. I also member the disc scratches too. I had a few games ruined out of nowhere from it. I even bought a few games from GameStop WITH them because they used to keep the cases empty and had the disc's behind the counter.
i still have a launch 360 that hasnt red ringed, and i ran that thing hard, multiday gaming sessions back then, online and powered on for days at a time, never had an overheat problem
Tbf to bioware, you really couldn't do Mass Effect 3's ending any other way. The original ending got leaked, allegedly, and they had to slap together a new ending. Mass Effect 3 in general was also rushed pretty hard. The original writers also left Bioware so the people who wrote 1 and 2 were gone. It's important to remember that Mass Effect was like BG3 today where it was popular with non traditional RPG people, aka Troglodytes like me. Edit: So i think you also made a good point if Bioware was also honest about the ending too. This was still back in the 360 Era. You were still constrained by disk space back then
Really disappointed by the researching on the payday 2 segment here, the micro transaction drama was during 2015, when they added lootboxes and weapon skins. The DLC model are considered normal at that point.
the mass effect 3 ending wasn't even the original ending we where originally supposed to get the ending was so different before they changed it mid development thay change the ending because someone leaked it online the original ending
I hate long video essays but this video easily could have been 48 hours longer. Every game that comes out is definitely a lie at some point between development, marketing and release.
they didn't lie to us the 12 hours is a extermination everyone plays games faster and slower and you can try out the other content in the campaign too like the side operations mode because those are side missions to the campaign if u rush thr campaign sure it's going to be shorter but the intended way to play it takes like 12 hours
He put in hours of work to make this video and all you had to say was something negative about something less than 2% of the video? This world is pathetic
@jakel2837 prohibitively expensive? I think that's true if you want a pc and a headset because the pc can get expensive. But the quest headsets are cheaper than consoles rn and they arguably have the better selection of games. There are a small selection if great vr games because it's being ignored. But when people put proper effort into a game it's amazing. That's all I'm saying.
It was widely known that you didn't have to move the console to scratch discs, it was missing 2 tiny pads that stopped the disc from moving while it spun
I'll bet the reason the Nintendo doesn't have a good relationship with Mihoyo. Seeing as everyone likes to compare Genshin to Zelda. Nintendo and their recent patent purchases they're using against Pocketpair. It's likely they see them as competition, whereas Mihoyo where blissfully confident it would eventually happen.
I had the Xbox 360 that came with a Kinect, so I definitely had a mid-generation version of the console. I STILL had issues with discs getting scratched if the console moved slightly. I lost Midnight Club LA because my sister tripped on my charging cord :(
Wow i looved the ME Legendary edition, such a cool set of third person shooter games with an interesting story going through them all. First one might start as a bit of a slog
I don’t have a single bit of trust left for Halo Studios. I was growing more and more skeptical of 343i but my halo friends wanted to give it a shot. Halo 4, lost interest after a couple of weeks. Halo 5, just didn’t care for it anything about it. It felt like they released a big pile of compromise topped with a layer of excuses. With Infinite, I knew when the buggy beta was actually the final release and 343i was just happy to lie about it, I knew it was the same old 343. They can keep their early concept art UE5 stuff to themselves as far as I’m concerned. Build a game and I’ll take a look.
60$ is all it took me to keep my gen 1 360 working until i put it away when the xbox one came out. I bet my 360 will still run all because i got the external cooling fan attachment. Wasnt that expensive and kept it running.
I had 4 different xbox 360s all died from red ring of death. I had 25 games destroyed and my dad was so strict about anything touching the xbox. This man instilled fear in my life we never touched the xbox without his permission: and we still lost 25 games from stupid scratches of the xbox 360. Explain why i have ps1 and ps2 games and gamecube games running perfectly fine but xbox 360 sucked so much early on it destroyed so many good games i loved
7:55 no it didn't, there's a notorious video of someone grabbing a slim when they debut'd it to see if it would sratch discs and it did. It's hilarious. People just stopped blaming the console for something that was their fault.
I wanted to show my uncle my MW2 Edition Xbox 360 I had JUST gotten for xmas and ruined my disc drive and my only game. I did this by rotating the console while the game was running... I was so sad lmao
I definitely had the scratch problem happen to me back when I had DOA4 and Tekken 6. Couldn't play DOA at all and then with Tekken 6 I couldn't use specifically Bryan for some reason, everyone else was fine.
My brother picked up and moved my 360 like a week after getting World at Wat and the 360 Made a god awful noise. I shut it off, opened the tray and omg the disc had a huge circular scratch. Could only play hardcore mode from that point on. No other mode would work. Single player would freeze. But yea, learned to not move a console with a disc in it after that point. This was in 08’ 😂
I also used to get the heat cracks around the little circle cut out on the disc from over use 🤔. Or that’s what I associated it with. Many call of duty discs had that happen too

The halo 5 marketing was so deceptive of what really happened in the game. No tension no real beef, but a slap fight for maybe 2 minutes. Bullshit lol.
The sentiment about Titanfall being abandoned is mostly because a game that is widely recognized as the best FPS of the 2010s has been delegated as the backdrop for a generic battle royale. It's like the posterchild for corporate BS ruining the industry
Didn’t realize the circle issue was wide spread. Made me miss halo reach’s sword base for years
That MCC to PC to hype Halo Infinite 100% worked on me
I checked out a month after Halo 4, didn't even notice when MCC or Halo 5 came out, and didn't know anything about Infinite until I heard ODST was coming to MCC and MCC was coming to PC.
Half of me is glad I got to sit down and enjoy the bungie games on PC, the other half is upset that I ever bothered trying another 343 Halo.
It wasn't great. It took them another year after release of infinite to put in coop and that killed it immediately for me. Since halo 2 I've gone through every single one on legendary with my brother. When infinite got announced we were super hype for the new story and that chiefs story was continuing, only for it to be such a humongous let down. Once it finally had coop me and him had some good fun with it, good enough fun to do the laso for it but other than that it's lifeless and uninspired.
Old man here, replayed all halo games to get a good view on the story and fill in the many blanks that I did not understand when I was younger (most of these came from 4 and 5, go figure).
On Infinite now, but what a slog it has been since halfway in on halo 4. I don't know if UA-cam needs another hour+ opinionated video on Halo and the route 343 took, so I don't know if I'll bother.
But man, the 343 games were better when I didn't understand and already gave up on before playing them for the first time on-release.
ai ad read is crazy
Cmon man ai advertising
Yeah and a porn ai too
It amazes me that people still play apex legends when titanfall and titanfall 2 were clearly severely compromised.
and then apex was hacked multiple times.
hackers literally infiltrated a tournament and installed and ran cheats on player's pc. live in the tournament.
and people after this long and obvious history of the game being *potentially a gateway to remote code execution*(because how the fuck else do you explain someone installing and running cheats on a pc like that?)
and people were like "idk. maybe it was the antivirus"
the game is **compromised. do not play it. Don't downplay it. This was a sign that the game is malware until actually and absolutely proven otherwise and that extends to both titanfall games too until its actually proven to be completely safe.**
dont tell me "oh that's not what happened"
nobody knows what happened. therefore the worst is to be assumed. the game is compromised. If you hear loud growls that sound like a hungry puma or really big wild cat across the corner do you say "well I cant see a puma. you cant prove there's a puma. This isnt necessarily dangerous"
no no you dont. Installing malware because "hey I probably wont be targeted" is insane. dont do that.
I experienced two red rings of death on different consoles, and three disc rings of death despite being extremely careful after the first one. My Xbox 360 elite that I still have has never caused any issues or had the red ring.
When you mentioned "From the Ground Up" with the Slipspace Engine, I was waiting for it to be a Segway into talking about the Forza Motorsport Reboot and the lies they kept pushing before the games release.
Correction: The 360's red ring of death was not caused specifically by poor thermal design or lead free solder, there was a defect in the ATI GPU's substrate that similarly effected Nvidia chips in the PS3 and on PCs. The 360's poor thermal design likely contributed to a faster failure rate than other systems.
I'd honestly take any of the Mass Effect 3 endings over Andromeda, Anthem, and especially the new Dragon Age..We were complaing about ME3 and DA2 back in 2012 without actually realizing how good we had with Bioware compared to today..
You had better standards in 2012.
21:30 mass effect 3 also incorporated their online INTO the campaign, meaning that if you didn’t 100% (and keep it at 100%) the online component - you wouldn’t get to see the complete epilogue.
I remember mine cutting off at a very certain point, talking it out with a friend and having them tell me “oh no, there’s more to the ending”
Nowhere did it tell you this - I sunk double digits into the single player to do every single thing too.
You actually could get the best ending without touching multi-player, but it demanded essentially 100%ing the game
No, we would not have been ok if BioWare went out and said, “Ok, guys, there’s three endings. Take it or leave it” because as you mentioned, they were all boring copy pastas.
Don't forget, you can throw at the last second ;)
the fact these companies just dont keep to their words can be both frustrating and awesome if you think about it
You asked for optimistic people to comment, so I'll give it a shot:
Halo can probably be saved with decent management. It'll never be a phenomenon like it was from 2002 to 2010, but it'll still have an audience. Halo: Infinite has a decent core. It was just let down by a complete dearth of features and content for an obscenely long time after launch, and that comes down to poor project management.
You mentioned another studio developed MCC with the current 343 studio head just managing their work. That was effectively their biggest problem, at least with Infinite. All of the bad press and lack of community trust means they're less likely to push their luck with BS features and trend chasing in their next release, which means the biggest hurdle to clear is releasing a solid game that's content rich. This is an achieveable goal.
All that said, Microsoft will almost certainly screw it up out of greed and the marketing will be guaranteed to be full of lies. But hey, there's some reason to be optimistic.
I had a disk get scratched, but mine’s probably a more extreme case. I definitely just knocked the whole ass console over from the upright position.
In fairness to Frank O’Connor, it’s completely possible for him to have written the first draft or pitched the outline of Reach and then after that left Bungie to start 343 while they actually developed Reach. Like, because the story is done so early into a game, I don’t think him not being at Bungie when the game came out as proof that he couldn’t have been involved
(Granted, it’s probably an exaggeration on his end but still)
They really pulled up a "you're holding it wrong" with that scratched disk incident, huh?
No mans sky, 2077, and fallout 76 are the holy trinity of false promises.
Eww

Always look forward to the next RocketSloth upload 😁
i definitely remember my xbox scratching the hell out of my discs, 90% sure some of them were while it was completely stationary too lol
kid me just assumed i wasn’t taking care of them well enough but after my hellspawn younger cousin moved my console while a disc was running(for who knows the hell why) i heard the grinding, panicked and took the disc out, saw that ring, and felt such a deep level of betrayal at the realization my own console was why so many of my games had gotten perfectly circle scratches
until I saw this video I woulda went my whole life thinking I just wasn’t taking care of my games I used to take my games to school and ask my friends why I kept getting circular scratches 😭 I was so confused bc it was the exact same every time the game literally could be sitting still next day you’re on yt looking up how to get your xbox 360 to read a scratched disk😂
I owned a slim model 360 and the disc scratches still happened. Had mine set up vertically and nudged it plugging in my controller. Gave a nasty white circle to my modern warfare 3 disc
4:16
Oddly enough I got lucky. A day 1 White Arcade with a 20Gb external that never got the red ring. Still have the puppy. She's starting to yellow, but she's still purdy. Such an oldie that when Destiny 1 came out, I had to purchase a 250Gb external upgrade, but I do still have my old 20 sitting in a box
I had a couple of 360 RRoD but each of them lasted a few years each.
At most, the only issue my 1st 360 had was struggling to read brand-new, unscratched discs. I remember trying to play Dead Rising and it often struggled to play it as I'd get some play time and then a disc read error closing the game.
When was the last time you’ve played cyberpunk? You can ride a train now and call your S/O to your apartment
Whoops, they forgot to put the green lights in
Why would they even put the red lights in the console if they didnt expect this to happen? Imagine how much money they made from everyone who got lost in sea of voices and ended up buying 2-3 consoles completely out of pocket.
You could take the circular scratched discs to family video and they could fix the games for like $3
The 360 was where I lost all trust in microsoft. I don't trust them and never will because they are fake. They knew the 360 was poorly built. They knew the risks but thought they could skate by. It cost them in the end but yet they still break trust consistently to this day. As a brand they were basically over with by the time the one released.
I want them to succeed but they brought this on themselves.
This is a reminder that many of 343's lore and story issues stem from 343 letting Greg Bear write the background for the setting with little to no oversight from 343, as most of 343's management was focused on turning Halo into a multimedia blockbuster franchise. it wasn't until the 3rd book in Greg Bear's Trilogy was being written that any changes started to be requested by management (I'm guessing Frank O'Conner had to push that through despite 343's other managers.) 343 leadership and Microsoft wanted to have their cake and eat it too and only succeeded in falling face first on the cake and attracting redditors(Look at the halostory subreddit) to the Halo franchise that dickride 343 dogshit lore and writing. Despite the hate he got from the community, Frankie wasn't responsible for the issues that 343 Halo had. The issue was that either Microsoft executives or the rest of the 343 leadership members were incompetent.
I had probably the second version of the original 360, after moving it with left 4 dead running it scratched a deep ring into the disc. I took it down to the local video store to have it resurfaced only to have a ring scratched into the same disc a week or two later from a bump! After that I was so careful to have the console in a place where it could not be accidentally moved. I had many friends who have had the same thing happen, 100% of those models had this issue I'm sure of it.
Crazy thing is, I never had the red ring with two 360s just disc read errors with the disc drive unable to spin the disc
I know you gotta make money, but please don't accept AI commissions guys.
I member the red ring of death. My parents got me a used Master Chief edition 360 for my birthday. I plugged it in, and bam, red ring. I was crushed as a child. I wanted the green 360 sooo bad. I also member the disc scratches too. I had a few games ruined out of nowhere from it. I even bought a few games from GameStop WITH them because they used to keep the cases empty and had the disc's behind the counter.
i still have a launch 360 that hasnt red ringed, and i ran that thing hard, multiday gaming sessions back then, online and powered on for days at a time, never had an overheat problem
Minute long ad-read at the start with no chapter is so cringe.
Poly AI has multiple AI bots that encourages you to do not safe for work things with your family. The app is preditory asf
343 industries not one of them made a good Halo...
Tbf to bioware, you really couldn't do Mass Effect 3's ending any other way. The original ending got leaked, allegedly, and they had to slap together a new ending. Mass Effect 3 in general was also rushed pretty hard. The original writers also left Bioware so the people who wrote 1 and 2 were gone. It's important to remember that Mass Effect was like BG3 today where it was popular with non traditional RPG people, aka Troglodytes like me.
Edit: So i think you also made a good point if Bioware was also honest about the ending too. This was still back in the 360 Era. You were still constrained by disk space back then
11:29 just released the song in the backround you had playing was a jazz version of Life Will Change from Persona 5. Nice choice!
Really disappointed by the researching on the payday 2 segment here, the micro transaction drama was during 2015, when they added lootboxes and weapon skins. The DLC model are considered normal at that point.
MCC is fixed? gee I couldn't tell since every time I'm in the menu, it moans and groans about my region choice
My 2013 360 e scratched my copy of GTA5 like that! I didn't knew that was a wide spread thing.
I experienced both the red ring and disc scratching. I feel so bad my parents bought me 3 Xbox 360s
Was here till the ai ad read 😢
the mass effect 3 ending wasn't even the original ending we where originally supposed to get the ending was so different before they changed it mid development thay change the ending because someone leaked it online the original ending
I added artic silver to my x clamps on my arcade 360. Had it for years with 0 issues.
3:44 every single early Xbox 360 has red ringed. It's a 100 percent fail rate. My first one lasted thousands of hours.
what is the music at 4:00?
I hate long video essays but this video easily could have been 48 hours longer. Every game that comes out is definitely a lie at some point between development, marketing and release.
lost me at the AI ad
they didn't lie to us the 12 hours is a extermination everyone plays games faster and slower and you can try out the other content in the campaign too like the side operations mode because those are side missions to the campaign if u rush thr campaign sure it's going to be shorter but the intended way to play it takes like 12 hours
My mom got with my step dad in 2007. I red ringed 2 360s and he couldn’t play halo anymore and he was pissed .
Great stuff Rocket, thank you
Ew. AI sponsored slot. Blergh
I agree, given my experience it’s for incels so I think that’s why it’s popular enough to send these kind of ad reads to UA-camrs.
He put in hours of work to make this video and all you had to say was something negative about something less than 2% of the video? This world is pathetic
Gotta keep the lights on somehow
Maybe promote something that isnt garbage. @cornholio069
@toptiertech7291 this comment has zero idea what's it's like to be a content creator 😂
I remember bumping my 360 when I literally just bought R6 Vegas. I told my dad it came like that and needed an exchange lmao
Respawn working on a vr game is good for VR. I understand it really, really sucks for titanfall fans but vr as a gaming medium should not be ignored.
There are like 6 good VR games and the whole thing is still prohibitively expe size and very niche. I'd rather thay make titanfall 3
@jakel2837 prohibitively expensive? I think that's true if you want a pc and a headset because the pc can get expensive. But the quest headsets are cheaper than consoles rn and they arguably have the better selection of games. There are a small selection if great vr games because it's being ignored. But when people put proper effort into a game it's amazing. That's all I'm saying.
3 original gears of war disks I went through because the ring scratches my box was never moved after hooked up
It was widely known that you didn't have to move the console to scratch discs, it was missing 2 tiny pads that stopped the disc from moving while it spun
Not even gonna lie these vids help me sleep so well. Thanks guys 🙏
wtf is this ad read bruh I’m unsubbing
Thats ok. Those with a room temperature IQ will be replaced by AI. Enjoy your time while it lasts, useless eater.
I'll bet the reason the Nintendo doesn't have a good relationship with Mihoyo. Seeing as everyone likes to compare Genshin to Zelda. Nintendo and their recent patent purchases they're using against Pocketpair.
It's likely they see them as competition, whereas Mihoyo where blissfully confident it would eventually happen.
Gonna just skip over racing games entirely? Like we dont exist? And been lied to by developers???
I had the Xbox 360 that came with a Kinect, so I definitely had a mid-generation version of the console. I STILL had issues with discs getting scratched if the console moved slightly. I lost Midnight Club LA because my sister tripped on my charging cord :(
Wow i looved the ME Legendary edition, such a cool set of third person shooter games with an interesting story going through them all. First one might start as a bit of a slog
I don’t have a single bit of trust left for Halo Studios. I was growing more and more skeptical of 343i but my halo friends wanted to give it a shot. Halo 4, lost interest after a couple of weeks. Halo 5, just didn’t care for it anything about it. It felt like they released a big pile of compromise topped with a layer of excuses. With Infinite, I knew when the buggy beta was actually the final release and 343i was just happy to lie about it, I knew it was the same old 343. They can keep their early concept art UE5 stuff to themselves as far as I’m concerned. Build a game and I’ll take a look.
Scratched 3 CDs with my 360 like that. Fun times.
60$ is all it took me to keep my gen 1 360 working until i put it away when the xbox one came out. I bet my 360 will still run all because i got the external cooling fan attachment. Wasnt that expensive and kept it running.
I had 4 different xbox 360s all died from red ring of death. I had 25 games destroyed and my dad was so strict about anything touching the xbox. This man instilled fear in my life we never touched the xbox without his permission: and we still lost 25 games from stupid scratches of the xbox 360. Explain why i have ps1 and ps2 games and gamecube games running perfectly fine but xbox 360 sucked so much early on it destroyed so many good games i loved
Halo on unreal would mean Epic games will make you wait for it to be on steam.
7:55 no it didn't, there's a notorious video of someone grabbing a slim when they debut'd it to see if it would sratch discs and it did. It's hilarious. People just stopped blaming the console for something that was their fault.
I had a later model of xbox360, and still got the red ring 4 years later. Amazing games and memories... Awful console and pricing schemes for online
40:30 it’s like the Disney frozen conspiracy lol
30:34 Fun fact, Clover was responsible for Viewtiful Joe and Okami ❤
I wanted to show my uncle my MW2 Edition Xbox 360 I had JUST gotten for xmas and ruined my disc drive and my only game. I did this by rotating the console while the game was running... I was so sad lmao
I definitely had the scratch problem happen to me back when I had DOA4 and Tekken 6. Couldn't play DOA at all and then with Tekken 6 I couldn't use specifically Bryan for some reason, everyone else was fine.
My brother picked up and moved my 360 like a week after getting World at Wat and the 360
Made a god awful noise. I shut it off, opened the tray and omg the disc had a huge circular scratch. Could only play hardcore mode from that point on. No other mode would work. Single player would freeze. But yea, learned to not move a console with a disc in it after that point. This was in 08’ 😂
I also used to get the heat cracks around the little circle cut out on the disc from over use 🤔. Or that’s what I associated it with. Many call of duty discs had that happen too
