There's a very odd idea in gaming that somehow being new or graphically impressive makes a game good, while older games are somehow bad or relics of the past. I have never understood where this idea came from or how so many people can cling onto it. Some of my favorite games, like Final Fantasy 7, Fallout New Vegas, Dark Souls, Jak and Daxter, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts and more all have one thing in common - they're not new. Being new doesn't make something bad... but it also has no impact on its quality. #assassinscreed #retrogaming #finalfantasy Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect Check Out Fiction Fringe https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_f4Fk2d_AoRe4-Q8aVldoA My first video over there https://youtu.be/gk7N9BBbWF4

Nintendo's recent announcement revealed the impending shutdown of the Wii U E Shop in 2023. while this is a year away and many players have moved on from the console, there are many classic retro games available on the Wii U that won't be easily accessible after this happens. I find this to be disappointing as the video game market continues to just push consumers and gamers to emulate games, all the while taking some sort of moral stance against doing so. #wiiu #nintendo #gaming Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect Check Out Fiction Fringe https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_f4Fk2d_AoRe4-Q8aVldoA My first video over there https://youtu.be/gk7N9BBbWF4

Assassin's Creed 1 has been out since 2007. Surprisingly, the game holds up very well and looks good, especially on Xbox One X. The game has been enhanced on Xbox One X (looks even better on PC) and I'm surprised at how much effort has gone into maintaining this game. The game has multiple layers of story, involving the key protagonists Altair and Desmond Miles and how each tangles with their era of the Templar society. While this isn't my favorite in the series, there's a lot here to appreciate, and I'm really glad you all suggested I play this game again!

As someone who really enjoys both Marvel Comics and DC Comics, at least some of each, and really enjoys a lot of the movies and games both of these companies put out, I wanted to talk a bit about the whole Marvel vs DC or DC vs Marvel fandom war that I guess has been sort of a thing forever. I don't see it all the time, more just some discussions now about what characters would do in fights, which is cool to see, but occasionally people still spring up who think they're really shaking the hornets' nest by hating on one or the other. I just really don't understand caring enough about this to get super angry at it. If people want to talk about who would win in a fight or what story is more interesting etc that's cool, but I don't get the whole anger behind the subject.

I recently got The Batman Lego Batmobile which is Lego set 76181. I thought this lego kit was really awesome and I really enjoyed putting it together.

A long time ago we talked about potential suits for Barbara Gordon's Batgirl, so the next logical step is to cover Jason Todd, The Red Hood. It's really only logical because he's one of my favorite characters in DC Comics. The WB Games Montreal superhero hype train keeps on rolling.

Well today I've been forced to review the new Barbie 2022 Extra Car. It's a thing that exists for dolls that I reviewed, what more could you want. I have said a billion times this is a joke and not a tool to babysit someone's kids for them while they're getting with their pool boy, but someone will still cry about it. #barbie #barbieextra #review Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

DCEU's Batgirl is a big subject of debate this week. Batgirl's suit was finally revealed to the public and some people really didn't like it. To be fair, other people loved the suit and were really excited about it. We recently talked about Batgirl director Adil El Arbi and his sentiments on the criticism. Since then, he decided to do something really cool that I respect a lot. The world needs more people with humility who are willing to accept when they are wrong or when they did something they weren't proud of. It also needs more people who are willing to be on the receiving end of their own jokes. I know some people will see his statement as backtracking and others will see my video the same way, but I've chosen to take this at face value and believe that it was just an ill-timed joke that was taken completely the wrong way. In my opinion, he's made good with the fans, or at least has shown that he didn't mean what he said maliciously, and I'm not sure what else I could ask for as someone who is a fan of the character. #dceu #batgirl #supergirl Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

DCEU's Batgirl is a big subject of debate this week. Batgirl's suit was finally revealed to the public and some people really didn't like it. To be fair, other people loved the suit and were really excited about it. Batgirl director Adil El Arbi, however, wasn't having any of the criticism. Apparently the director lashed out at fans over Instagram, saying they should "Shut the f*** up." I really don't understand how this is supposed to win over anyone, especially people who are interested in the movie but might not love every little thing about it. Who is the movie actually for at that point? #dceu #batgirl #supergirl Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

Video game journalism is a term that many would consider relatively harmless, but that isn't always the case. Games journalism is often just puff pieces or a broader way for fans of games to interact with said games. From the old games journalist magazines that covered hidden story elements and secrets to the modern political takes about how playing Call of Duty is a gateway to the Alt Right, there are many different types of games journalism and even different types of people who engage in its creation. The last decade as seen a push towards video game journalism becoming political and focusing on anything other than the games they are supposed to be talking about. Many of these "journalists" aren't true journalists at all. They write every piece as an opinion, ignoring any objective facts to reach the story that the "journalist" wants to tell, instead of informing the gaming communities on what they care about. As views have gone down, these outlets have gravitated towards more outrageous titles and concepts to drive outrage clicks and angry engagement. In the words of the great Admiral Ackbar, before he was murdered by Rian Johnson, "It's a trap." #videogames #gaming #kotaku

Batgirl's DCEU costume has been revealed. Leslie Grace will be donning a suit similar to the Batgirl of Burnside suit from the comics and I honestly think it looks fine. I'm not particularly impressed by the costume, as it looks very CW-ish to me, but it's certainly not a bad look. Supergirl's costume on the other hand leaves a bit to be desired. Sasha Calle is a talented actor, but I'm unsure why the suit seems to have been designed with so much bulk. It's very unflattering. While we are just talking about the costumes here, and I still am very interested in what they are doing with the DCEU or Worlds of DC movies, I'm a bit disappointed that it seems like they've gone out of their way to avoid any sort of feminine traits of any kind with these characters, when their feminine traits are one of the things that make the characters stand out and be even more interesting. Again, I still want the DCEU to be great. I have high hopes for the return of the Michael Keaton Batman and I'm even willing to give these movies, HBO Max shows and more a shot. I want them to be great. I just wish the costume design had gone a little differently here. Jill is certainly more upset than I am. #dceu #batgirl #supergirl Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

Today I wanted to take a look at a bunch of video games that I definitely do not think are bad but just aren't for me. Nate and I are taking a look at the top 5 most popular games we really don't like or enjoy that much. Obviously, every game will have its detractors or people who just aren't a fan of it. We aren't here to make YOU not like these games, or tell you why it's bad you enjoy them. We just wanted to talk about our opinions on these video games and video game franchises. We'll be doing the opposite side of this in the near future when we discuss the 5 unpopular games that we love but nobody really knows about. Whether it's Uncharted or Battlefield, I genuinely love that people love these games. I'm not a fan of telling people what they're not allowed to enjoy or ruining anything for anyone else. We hope you enjoy and have a great day! #uncharted #leagueoflegends #apexlegends Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

There have been a lot of recent reports about the future of DCEU (DC Extended Universe) also known as The Worlds Of DC. These DC Comics movies are, reportedly, going through a lot of changes. They're bringing Michael Keaton's Batman on board and supposedly are done with Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman. #theflash #batman #superman Check out Degenerate Plays! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUxQUAGade5ek_daIehdKw Join the community https://twitter.com/DegenerateJay https://discord.gg/F2Guk4g https://www.instagram.com/thedegeneratejay/?hl=en https://www.patreon.com/degeneratejay Enchanted Glamor https://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedglamor?ref=search_shop_redirect

It won't change anything, but I honestly just needed to vent about this. I'm really tired of people who purposely spoil TV shows, movies, games and other things for people. These people get their joy out of actively ruining things for other people on purpose and I really will never understand it.

I've noticed a trend online, especially the last few years, where people think just being a hipster who hates anything popular or anything that others love somehow makes them interesting and different.

Star Wars is a hot item these days, but Star Wars video games have always been popular. While there are now 2 new Star Wars Battlefront games from EA, it all started somewhere.

Metal Gear Solid is one of my favorite games on the original PlayStation and it spawned a wide array of sequels, spinoffs and tie-ins.

Today, we examine the age old question: why are video game movies so terrible? Some are great and some are okay, but many are just downright terrible. Why is this the case?
