If a game isn’t fully playable without an SSD, then I consider it a requirement.

Ever try playing Perfect Dark without an Expansion Pak back in the day? It’ll technically work, but you’ll get locked out of 90% of the game, including the campaign. Similar thing with SSDs today.

Forza Horizon 4 actually does include an SSD in its requirements. Thank you for reminding me about that.

Does it have Stremio and an equivalent to YouTube ReVanced/SmartTubeNext? If so, I’m sold. I’m tired of the slow clunky interface on my Android-based TV. Paid nearly $2K for this fucker and they couldn’t even be bothered to give it a CPU with more than 2 cores, nor more than 8GB of storage space. Like a cheap Chinese Android phone from 2014.

Same. Can’t find shit to watch. Can’t figure out how to add any instances, either. The “add an instance” button appears to be missing in the app or I’m just retarded and doing it wrong.

Too much work to simply swap out the assets and change the character’s name with a patch?

There’s a PC port of RDR? Since when? I’ve been emulating the 360 version the whole time!

Okay well try telling that to my computer when the games wouldn’t run without constantly freezing to load assets every few seconds.

I can personally guarantee that it is a hard requirement for Spider-Man and Ratchet

A lot of modern AAA games require an SSD, actually.

On top of my head: Cyberpunk, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space remake, Starfield, Baulder’s Gate 3, Palworld, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

More like zero, cause modern AAA games require an NVME (or at least an SSD) and this is a good old fashioned 7200 RPM drive.

That’s fine; I lost interest in the series after Underground. NFS was ruined for me anyway when I learned what Rubberband AI was. (Which was also around the same time I started driving real cars, and thus began realizing just how terrible the physics are in all but the most hardcore sim racers.)

I would but I prefer a server hosted outside of my country.

Manual swap time

Run a RocketChat server for me so I don’t have to pay $8/mo anymore

You cited a single source from a tabloid run by a Russian Oligarch. That doesn’t count. Please post multiple, verifiable sources.

Cite your sources please. Without verifiable sources, you’re just making shit up.

I know this. NASA’s animal fatalities were fewer and less often.

Can’t agree with this. I got dozens of hours out of Portal 2, simply from replaying it so many times (which is an amazing feat in of itself because I never finish games).

Meanwhile I was bored of Stardew Valley after two hours of wandering around and not being able to find anything to do. From what I’ve gathered, the game expects you to figure out how play it on your own. I’m in my late 30s and I have bills to pay. I don’t have the time nor the patience for a game like that anymore.

Edit: Point I forgot to make is that I feel like for a game to be considered the highest rated among them all, it should have universal appeal. But that’s just my 2¢.

Fewer human lives—sure, if you only include verified deaths—but the Soviet space program had considerably more deaths overall once you factor in other animals.
