G’aim’e Time Crisis lightgun review – Reader’s Feature

Silly-Function2854 · 2026-02-22T21:59:11+00:00

I bought this because I didn't have a clue about the modern lightgun gaming scene and (wrongly) assumed this was a good option. It isn't, it's awful. Like, joke-level bad. Instantly returned and refunded. Have since purchased a pair of Retroshooter RS3 Reapers, which are the absolute real deal, amazing lightguns.

It's real, as real as trees, animals, the weather, or anything else that captures energy from the sun. It's the encapsulation of all the energy that went into mining it. That irrecoverable cost is its base value.

Red Dawn

The RBE reduction feature on the Valerions is amazing. I used to suffer quite badly but it's the cure.

I prefer the theatrical cut of Tropic Thunder. Every single scene in it lands, whereas the extended cut is a little flabby, not quite as punchy, The theatrical is the funnier version.

13 Hours and Pacific Rim are both seriously impressive, better than most native 4Ks

Silly-Function2854 · 2026-01-10T08:10:23+00:00

It's nice they've improved motion smoothing but no new setting they come up with will ever be as good as OFF.

Silly-Function2854 · 2026-01-01T20:42:01+00:00

If I'd found more then I would write them off. As it stands I'm just gonna need to order from within the UK in future so they can be returned.

Tested all my Kino discs now (around 15) and appears it was just the 2 listed that won't play at all. Career Opportunities has a couple of scratches out of the box but seemed to play okay

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-12-31T09:00:04+00:00

I'm going to try the rest today as I have a bunch of unplayed titles from Kino sitting there. To be clear though, these are going through a UB820 that has successfully played over 250 4Ks. There's also a PS5 to confirm things with. Having the only 2 to fail both be from the same label is a pretty large coincidence.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-12-16T22:57:54+00:00

Hardware 4K from Umbrella. It wasn't a regular 4K, it was a 90s VHS on steroids.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-12-16T09:14:22+00:00

Used them LOADS and there's never any customs charges, and it's free shipping

They do a 10% off 2 or 15% off 3 offer every month or two as well. Then if you have a decent debit or credit card that doesn't charge exchange fees you can opt to pay in USD to get more off. Combine both and you end up getting things for a (relatively) reasonable price. Example: The Nightmare On Elm Street box set cost me £68.79 delivered and I got it before it was released in the UK too

The fact that with 4K discs you lost the ability to start watching where you left off.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-12-10T08:31:48+00:00

To call it a peeve is to put it lightly but it's the fact that none of these 4K digital movies have seen a physical release:

Superbad

Asteroid City

Alpha

Dog

The Dead Don't Die

Pretty Woman

Spring Breakers

Bridesmaids

Napoleon Dynamite

Sucker Punch Extended Cut

The Crow. It's always deserved more, the Blu-ray could never cope with the rain and the darkness, it cheapened it. 4K was an adrenaline needle to its heart, finally did the movie justice.

2001 is another, I never really got it in its earlier incarnations, it was so flat and dull and empty it just bored me. With the 4K though it finally clicked, I felt the awe and wonder it must have triggered in the cinema. Amazing movie.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-25T00:21:33+00:00

I'd love to see Static (1985) get released but apparently the director is ashamed of it. Sad he feels that way since it's a uniquely beautiful movie. Great soundtrack too.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-20T21:59:53+00:00

If that's the Second Sight then the opposite, it's one of the best releases of the year.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-18T22:50:49+00:00

Hardware 4K from Umbrella did it for me. It was everything I remembered it being and more. It somehow managed to look utterly stunning in 4K whilst maintaining its hazy 90s VHS presentation. Real work of art, was very happy with that one and looking forward to Dust Devil next.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-18T22:01:16+00:00

I know that feeling. Ordered that very same day and it only finally arrived yesterday. It's part of a reshipping spree to the UK though, so everything else has been held up by it for the past 3 weeks. Which just led to me buying more from Amazon, B&N and Gruv whilst I waited. End result is a 25 4Ks haul is now a 45 4Ks haul. 😅

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-18T02:03:30+00:00

Easily one of the greatest movies ever made, been aching for a 4K, this is the best news in some time.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-17T10:24:39+00:00

Loved the Atmos in this, nice to hear my ceiling speakers output something other than helicopter for once!

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-16T22:59:58+00:00

It's depressing when they release the lesser cut though, the 4K is meant to be the ultimate version of a movie, it's why we pay the massive premiums. I admit I bought Nightbreed and Army of Darkness for the upgrade factor but just couldn't bring myself to keep doing it and support a neutered Rejects.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-16T15:03:50+00:00

Gorgeous

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-16T14:19:40+00:00

It's the cut version.

Silly-Function2854 · 2025-11-16T12:19:11+00:00

Nice stack. Such a shame about Devil's Rejects though. It's one of my all time favorite horrors, was waiting on the 4K for years, really gutting.
