There actually is a massive speed difference between data on the cartridges and on the sd card. Games on cartridge actually load like 3-4x slower. Which is crazy.

Fair

Is there a cfw yet or other homebrew? Or we just at the start and they’ve just found the door in so far?

Sorry, i should’ve specified it was co-op. I highly recommend finding a friend to play it though, it’s a great experience.

Edit: specified spoiler is for co-op

Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week) Persona 4 Golden

To be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

In the AAA space, sure

Instead you see GPUs release for the same price as, or more than, a current gen console every two years.

Them being told they’re timed exclusives isn’t really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it’s available elsewhere. If you don’t already have a PC, a PS5 for it’s performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.

I hope this stops it from being laggy. It’s awful on big picture mode/gamescope

Was it based on the choose your own adventure book?

I think those guys are the main ones that run love death + robots iirc. Someone might correct me on that though

They want people having more babies so the US president has more supply to pick from. It’s not been as easy since he lost his best friend that helped sort it out for him.

But think of the children!

You mean SWTOR rather than KOTOR?

The worst part of that most wanted is that its called most wanted. It’s a great game but it’s name causes it to create comparisons to the og most wanted which for most, myself included, have big nostalgia for

Hot pursuit is like a polished high budget hypothetical burnout 2.5 remake

For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

They can still release their bespoke parts without any of the third party licensed stuff. Even without instructions on what needs to be gotten and put back in. It’d allow the smarter guys in the community have a headstart to figuring it out anyway. Most licensed software can be replaced, look at the recent decomps like the Lego island one.

Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you’ve already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

I think elevators are fixed height. You go underground once. Then when you’re about to go back up again you end up going down instead. So now you’re down 2 levels. But you never go back up 2 more elevators so the ground level when you get back up way lower than the ground at the start.

I’m in the same block built boat as you. I always vehemently defend this game since finding out the general gaming public don’t like it.

Same, as a kid i had no idea if the controversy to and was still waiting on a sequel for some time after. I thought it was a novel idea and it was my first proper foray into Norse mythology.

I loved the gameplay of pre sequel. But the writing for that was constantly throwing me for a loop on how any of it was greenlit. I didn’t mind the writing in 1 and 2, I got a few chuckles out of that. Pre sequel just made me groan, moan and yawn.

I’m still in the early stages in my current playthrough. I’ve not yet caught up to the intro

Final Fantasy Tactics on my RG34XX and Repo almost nightly with the buds

But they own the IPs…

Dirt 2 is still one is my favourite racing games. It just gives me the right vibes. 3 felt lonely in comparison

Out of curiosity what are the 16 dev preserved ones?

All of those games’ characters are essentially just mascots though (other than samus). So they’re not really an applicable comparison for continuing a character long term in a story focused world that tries to be somewhat grounded in terms of consequences and passage of time.

As someone from the UK, where most of our spines were standardised like the PS1 and PS2. And having personally collected hundreds of the latter. I’ve always preferred consistent standardised spines. A full bookcase of PAL PS2 games looks so much nicer to me than the messy look of one filled with NTSC games in my opinion.

I don’t hate times exclusives that much because that’s done extra cashflow for the dev to be able to either finish their game or polish it further. I still don’t think we’d have gotten Alan Wake 2 at least the version we got without that epic deal. I also don’t know if square would’ve bothered even entertaining the idea of porting all of the kingdoms hearts games either.

I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection

I think they got shut down did they not?

I’ve not seen permadeath be something inherent to metroidvanias.

Also I understand that the benches are part of the difficulty but I also feel like it’s slightly inflated because of the annoyance of doing so.

When I die in such games, all I can think about is the time I just wasted or am about to waste. No matter how good a game is, my life on this earth is too short and there are other games of the same quality or higher that I can play that will respect my time much better.

I mean it happened to me a few times when exploring. I don’t know the names of the places. It was still kinda early on. I think the last place I tried to enter was the mushroom place? And i kept dying in there then had to travel what felt like half of a full zone to get back there because i had yet to find a bench in there.

I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)

There’s plenty of moments in hollow night where it can be way more than just 3 screens. Especially when you’re exploring places for the first time and doing know where the next bench will be (I felt like there was no way near enough benches too).

It’s what made me eventually drop the game. I didn’t find it hard, I just could not be arsed. Felt like a waste of time when I’ve got so many other games bI could be playing instead of playing the same 10-15 minutes of gameplay over and over again.

I love metroidvanias too. One of my favourite genres.

I think the remake has better controls. Like just pressing triangle to add to a sleight for example. But the 3d playing field can make using them sleights a bit more awkward than on the GBA.

He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games…
