I started with the Xbox 360 port during Christmas of 2009, or February 2010. I have played on and off up until Autumn of 2023. I'm now a PC gamer and can say that the game objectively has more Quality of Life improvements even without the ability to mod. This is a game I'll be able to see myself playing two decades after its release; a simple formula that hasn't gone stale for me.
2005
Currently got a ROM of this saved to my PCSX2 emulator. Haven't played around with it enough to get an opinion on the vision cones, but the graphics and music are definitely nostalgia inducing.
2006
Another game I have saved to my PCSX2 emulator, definitely a downgrade from the PC version but that's to be expected.
A game I was excited to try again as an adult using my PCSX2 emulator, still haven't found the right time to explore everything in-game, but I do remember having this regarded as top 3 WWE games of all time, up there with "WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw" from the year prior; having grown up during the Ruthless Aggression Era, I fell out of the WWE stuff around the return of ECW.
Almost a decade later and I don't think I'll ever get pass Silver. Whether on console or laptop, I'm not good with the "sound queues", and guess I am more used to the "no tactics" Call of Duty type games. Even if I was good though, not a game for me. Very repetitive.
2018
Played this only 'cause someone wanted me to, I personally hate racing games and this being an open world game where you drive around...and that's it...well, that's not for me haha. Physics be damned, cars are indestructible and settings vary from arcade like to "simulation". No feeling of progression, no sense of reward, boring gameplay loop, I get why others like it but eh. Pretty graphics for a 2018 game though.
2017
Played this with a high school friend and his brother one night back in 2017. We livestreamed it and somehow got the killer despite being kidnapped lol.
2021
Soulless shooter game that leaned too heavily on the L4D comparisons. The “Versus” mode consists of utterly boring horde gameplay with an ever shrinking play circle ala-battle royale style. Campaign failed to capture my interest in anything and I think I played past Act 2. This game is so boring, and I’m glad Gamepass kept me from spending my own money on it.

The main character and his son have some good voice acting, but the linearity with choice removed makes this basically a cartoon. During conversation, there’s often times where 1 or 2 conversation choices will be greyed out leaving you unable to say what you actually want to say. Lack of multiple endings, redundant “mini games”, the story is not enough to save this game.
2009
"The first time I played it, I was around 14 I think, so when I found out about the Dragon Age 4 reveal as an adult, I decided to replay all three games. I tell you, as an adult I have much more appreciation for the game. Just because the graphics are outdated and some of the lesser important characters have shitty voice acting means nothing to me now. I also don’t hate the combat system anymore and realize just how much depth and story is there is to this game."

"A decade later and this game is still just a heaping pile of mid. I get why others like it, and it’s cool they keep updating the client, but for me I’ve always had a distaste for open world sandboxes. I’m not into cars so collecting/racing has no merit for me. I think griefers are annoying. The missions and I assume heists are all the same pretty much. Flying around is boring and gun play is terrible on on controller. Overall, I see no fun in a game where I just travel around to get different colored vehicles and obtain an obscene amount of virtual cash."

Typical looter shooter mechanics with a story better than the first Destiny. Top tier AA title.
2011
A game that made its creators rich by profiting off the labor of children and the disabled. Only enjoyable with a group of friends and even then I feel most of my laughs are forced.
2018
I had an online friend whom I'd play Blackout & Warzone with. One night when bored, he suggested I finally give this game a chance, I begrudgingly did so and after 2 hours knew I'd never want to play this cartoony ass boring game again. Probably fun with a group of friends, and when you're deep into the game fighting Megladons and players, but it's just not my kinda grind.
2023
booted up my series X to play for the first time in a long time, saw this had an update, went to go play it and after searching for games on different difficulties...no games were found. Unplayable for me I guess.
