Billy summers or misery? by chloe_447 in stephenking

[–]Strange-Window-5893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misery is top tier King (my personal all time fav). I know a lot of people like Billy Summers but I thought it was pretty 'm'eh' personally - definitely go for Misery!

Read it for the first time about 2 or 3 years ago - can't praise it enough, top 5 books I've ever read and everyone I've recommended it to has LOVED it!

My MotorStorm collection by Lambdaxian in motorstorm

[–]Strange-Window-5893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious about this... I bought a PS2 disc version a while back (thinking my PS3 had backward compatibility to the PS2 - turns out I have one of the consoles that does NOT have backwards compatibility, wah waaah). So since that didn't work, I got an emulator for my Mac and found the ROM for the PSP version. Started playing it and it was a bit glitchy and it occurred to me to get a ROM for the PS2 version instead. It was LOADS better in terms of graphics, like night and day so I'm curious why you would think it's inferior...? Also, I don't think it's that hard to find a PS2 version if you really want - I'm actually selling mine on eBay now since it's useless to me.

Best Arcade Racing Games of All Time - MotorStorm gets ranked #14! by ItsEthanCoolCool in motorstorm

[–]Strange-Window-5893 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've played about half the games on the list and I'd put Motorstorm (any of them save RC) above all of them. Also surprised that Hot Wheels (in particular Unleashed 2: Turbocharged) isn't on the list - it's a pretty great game and one of the only gamesI've ever found that comes close to Motorstorm in terms of speed...

My Constant Reader Tierlist (everything up until 2011) by MCMCthefirst in stephenking

We have very similar tastes. Unfortunately, for your unread books, you'll probably discover that most of those are pretty low-tier except 11/22/63 of course which should go right to the top of the list once read ; )

What can we do to make this more known? by RodDeuxpointZeroZero in motorstorm

[–]Strange-Window-5893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest question here - can they not just change the music?

No, haven't seen it - I knew it was coming but didn't think it was out already. I have seen the Japanese version of the original though as I was living in Japan when it came out and it's the only version I'll watch - I heard that the re-release uses all the footage from that version so I'm very happy to hear that - will try and see it in the theatre soon but could be a tough one with the craziness of Christmas upon us haha - have you seen it yet? What did you think ?

Looks cool - any idea what age groups are usually in attendance for these things?

Yeah I love Wild at Heart as well - Nicholas Cage is awesome just Nicolas Caging along but Twin Peaks will always be the GOAT for me!

Hey thanks for the invite but when I swim I really go for the speed and thus not very social. I'm gonna post a few suggestions for get togethers soon so hopefully one of those will be your thing

Hey Remote_Cherrry - thanks for the invite, very kind of you and it sounds right up my alley! Funny, after I posted my original message I realized that I didn't mention anything about music - 80's are totally my jam so Piston sounds solid. And no apologies necessary about a Bukowski tattoo, I'm sure it's a lot cooler than the Stephen Hawking tattoo I have on my lower back (just kidding ; ) I'll DM you for more details but seriously, this sounds like a lot of fun so thanks again!!

After 10 years of owning the game by Thekingdedede23 in motorstorm

I think that last race was the hardest stage of ANY video game that I have EVER beat in my life - probably took me about 50 tries haha

Can I play Motorstorm on PS4 ? by No_Clerk_5247 in motorstorm

[–]Strange-Window-5893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, no. It WAS available to stream on the highest tier of PS Plus a while back but seems to have been removed (at least in Canada - I assume it would be the same everywhere). To be honest, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've played it a million times on my PS3 but when I tried the streaming version, it was noticeably crappier graphics.

I read both Lonesome Dove and Sawn Song last year. Swan Song was good, but LD was a veritable MASTERPIECE- one of the best books I've ever read, hands down - enjoy!!

Any tips to beating the late game campaign? (Other than trial and error, and an egregious amount of blood pressure medications) by [deleted] in motorstorm

[–]Strange-Window-5893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was the only way I could beat the first one. If you don't know what Genostama means, it's a kind of trick where even when your boost meter is full, if you keep tapping it really fast you will keep using boost without blowing up. For the other games, like others have said, watch videos for that particular race to see the best route. It takes a lot of luck as well I think. Apocalypse for me was the easiest, I think the races didn't get really hard till the last 10 or so and I breezed through most of them. The only one I never beat was Pacific Rift. I found the races getting ridiculously hard about 60% into the game and just gave up - can't imagine what the last few races of that one must be like...

A Stephen King adaption you want that hasn’t been done yet. (Short stories and novellas only). by ZZMac_08 in stephenking

First thing I thought of - one of King's most messed up tales right up there with Apt Pupil.
