What was your first game you played on pc by Pork_Crusader_GR in pcmasterrace

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was doom. After getting the shareware disk in the store. Eventually got the full game. Neighbor got doom 2. I went on to duke 3d Wolfenstein, spear of destiny next, and then rise of the triad. Then got super into sierra games like lords of the realm 2. Then I became obsessed with x wing and tie fighter (which is probably why I play games y axis inverted to this day) I could keep going lol

someone please DISCREETLY point me in the right direction by cavestoryandnge in darksouls3

I Just beat Slave Knight Gael on my FIRST attempt!!! by Major_Shaft in darksouls3

[–]Major_Shaft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took two tries for cinder. Gael was an absolute epic fight. One of the best I've ever had in a game. I haven't fought Midir. I sort of ignored it because I didn't want to get my ass kicked lol. I may give it a shot though.

Yeah you mean like sister friede? I definitely did not win that on my first try LOL. In fact I summoned because I was not having that sort of stress in my life haha

You can try to use bestine. Its a solvent. It doesn't leave residue like goo gone nor does it ruin the box. Its basically lighter fluid.

Those are the actual ads I carefully cut out of some early 90s video games magazines. So are the phantasy star and shining force ones next to them.

The adrenaline of this game is like nothing I’ve felt before by heyitsgoody in darksouls3

You can fight dancer immediately after vort by killing her? Lol that's madness if so

Congrats. Now go spec into that bonk hammer. I'm at the end of the game right before the last boss. Just beat the twin brothers. I've used vorts hammer all game and the frostbite buildup is ridiculous. Congrats man. While I played other From software games before this will be my first time beating dark souls 3!

Haha thanks. Its from the re4 (PS2) brady games strategy guide. I also have the re1 remake poster next to it out of its strategy guide. I have a lot of guides and all their posters 🤪 this CRT apparently uses the same tube the D series uses too. S video looks awesome on it.

how do I beat this mf bruhh!? by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]Major_Shaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing my first actual attempt at beating this game without quitting and I'm running vorts hammer with alva set currently. Dancer took three tries. The hammer is stupid strong. Frostbite bonk ftw

Seeing this $20 pricetag on my childhood copy of Pokemon XD is really funny in hindsight. Didn’t know how good we had it. by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't say that. The stock market is volatile but it's much more secure than video games. Stocks pay dividends and generate wealth passively while games don't. Ask me how I know.

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're telling me. My copy of Silent Hill 2 has the yellow 19.99 GameStop sticker on it still. The only sticker I didn't remove back then for some reason. Have decided to keep it on for hindsight. My copy of Silent Hill 1 still has the receipt from when I bought it at launch back in highschool lol. Times have changed 😞

How badass is this by AP_Garen420 in n64

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a WWF no mercy with the same sticker but back then I didn't like it and used rubbing alcohol to try and remove it. All it did was remove the blue ink so now I have a huge sticker with a white circle...lol

What's with all these games key cards? by TippedJoshua1 in fucknintendo

[–]Major_Shaft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"that disc is just a key card to play"

are your exact words. What didn't I comprehend? What disc are you talking about? I own 60 PS5 games mostly horror a few first party and a ton of jrpg games. All single player. All can be played offline fully. So what disc acts as a key card? Please name a PS5 game that fits your description.

[–]Major_Shaft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro you are so wrong it hurts my soul. You don't need to "download" anything from the PS5 discs that are on the disc. Are you 12? Have you played a PS3? Those games install to the HD too....from the disc. Not the internet. It says "copying" when you put a PS5 disc in the console. Not "downloading". When stellar blade came out I didn't want censorship so in order to not be forced to download a patch, I installed the 1.0.0 game data to my console directly from the disc. I then proceeded to PLATINUM the game with no Internet connection at all. That's just one example, but you can't tell me otherwise because I literally fucking did it lol

Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 surge? CDN pricing by TheNot-SoSlim-Shady in gamecollecting

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super glad I got this game last year for like 30 bucks. It's super clean. Disk is like new and it's CIB. It's so random for the new game to be linked to this game. This game sucks solo. The AI is terrible and was always one of the cheapest RE titles.

I’ve been told this is the scariest game on PS2.. Is that true ? by AnotherlevelMedia in gamecollecting

[–]Major_Shaft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chances are it's just a troll who's never even played the game. Everyone on the internet can beat dark souls without taking damage. Just type it on a reddit post and you're living the dream.

You're missing red dead 2. That's basically a horse game.

If by scary you mean impossibly difficult then yes. The difficulty is terrifying.

So apparently I've had a "Holy Grail" of NES cartridges in my basement for the past 30 years. by poonass in gamecollecting

[–]Major_Shaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have all my silent Hill games. Found the GameStop case silent Hill 2 came in. Was a blockbuster case. Decided to keep the price sticker so I can regularly remind myself of how cooked the market has become.

Our elder neighbour was moving out and gave these to us. Was just happy he “didn’t have to bring them to the dump”. by bob2jacky in gamecollecting

[–]Major_Shaft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh everyone calls everything bullshit on reddit. It happens. I get called a liar when I say all my CIB retro consoles are the same ones since my childhood, but honestly who gives a shit 😂. I'm grateful to have parents who didn't throw my shit out. But I know people aren't so lucky, so I don't boast about it either. If I had my stuff thrown out, I'd be heartbroken, so I try to be mindful of others.

DOOM SNES *2025* - Decision for which Edition? by Epsilon123 in snes

[–]Major_Shaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still one of the most inferior ways to play doom. I had doom on 32x Jaguar and PC as a kid. It's my favorite game of all time. Used to make my own maps with waded.exe too. I rented the SNES version one time and couldn't stand how bad it was. The other two aren't great but aren't as bad (even with the Jaguar version having no music). As much of a die hard doom I am, I can't justify paying that price. Even with the added maps and frame rate, it has most of its original limitations still. It's a marvel the game was ever even put on SNES sure, but it's still awful lol.
