Except that Ground Zeroes exists and also Episode 46 of Phantom Pain. This would actually have made sense if …

Tap for spoiler

Hayter were involved to voice Naked Snake for his parts and then if Sutherland had only voiced Venom Snake.

But that didn’t happen. No, Hideo and Konami were just idiots about it starting with Ground Zeroes.


This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

For an RPG, try Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning.



as long as you own the game, emulation is legal.

People say this, but I believe it is mostly technically untrue. It’d be a relatively easy argument to say that a downloaded ROM that isn’t exactly the digital copy YOU purchased with a license would be seen as not legal.

However some people talk about literally ripping the game off the physical device themselves, hence copying their own copy of it. Now you are in grey territory of making copies of copyrighted materials, and in the case of more modern games like the last decade, they almost assuredly have language that specifies you don’t actually own the code and all that.

All I’m saying is be careful and probably refrain from repeating the fallacy that owning a game makes emulation of it legal, because that implies having the ROM is legal and that’s doubtful.



At the time of its release, it’s wow factor for me was simply some fucking color, compared to PS3 Skyrim which had released mere months earlier.

I love both games, but there’s something about Amalur that I think I love more that I can only think of as it being just medium, average, mediocre but not bad. It’s just something kinda fun. Comfortable.


I do always love “records” that are effectively population increases.

Just like when people share maps of data that are effectively just showing population distribution.



Ubi execs probably: “See! SEE! Look at Oblivion. They don’t even care about fixing the bugs. Quick! Leak that we’re redoing Black Flag and we’ll rush it!”



Also constant pop music in the background. I tried the demo back at launch. It’s okay. I get tired of zombie shit though. It’s like Last of Us meets wannabe Metal Gear Rising with Dark Souls sprinkled in cause of fucking course everything has to be nowadays, all with extremely skin tight booba and outta.

Or Bayonetta 4?


But getting more sex coverage on news media is good, I like that.

“… and she added that it was pretty good, but she wishes he’d have spent a bit more time warming her up first. Back to the studio.”

“Wow. Excellent report, Kelly. Fascinating sex life Jill and Bob have. More at 11.”


I played this on Steam Deck last year. Great game for its time.


Hey look! It’s DLC Seller 5! Can’t wait to buy more DLC.


Pro tip, if your sentence ever begins with “am I the only one…” then just stop and completely reconsider how you want to present the point you want to make. Just make the point. Lose the fluff.

You aren’t the only one. Nobody is ever the only one.


Their gimmick will be insane cost with 50% of previous gen features included!


Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see

Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn’t even try it themselves. Garbage.


People need to remember that news about how Steam has like 300 employees. They do a ton with a small crew, and they stay down to earth. Coming from all sorts of console gaming and the shittyness of that, It’ll be a long time before I criticize Steam.

Did a quick search to remind myself. 300 for Valve. Only like 80 are dedicated solely to Steam.


Far Cry 6 is tons of fun and 5 was kind of meh to me. I also thought 4 was incredible.


As a fan since the first, and having played nearly every version of Far Cry, Far Cry 5 was the biggest disappointment for so many reasons. What a dud. I cannot comprehend the love people have for this mediocre pile of mush.

The Vietnam DLC was fun though.

Blood Dragon is the best Far Cry by the way. But truly Far Cry 2 is actually the best for what it aimed to achieve, which was lost in subsequent games.


Skyrim was already grey rpg. They can’t do that again. So now it’s brown rpg. Maybe next we’ll get fuchsia.


The way skyblivion has been implemented avoids all this. They have made it very clear they are not in any way using original assets or providing the game. They are mods that utilize both Skyrim and Oblivion game files and you must have both for it to work. It is modding those game files, not providing them.


I remember reading back in December/January that it’s going to be a mix of Unreal Engine 5 and the Gamebryo Engine from the original.


Fuck big gaming but you’ll still hand them money and emulate?


Thanks half the voting country too. You got neighbors who asked for this.


And there are those who have it even harder than YOU. Everyone’s station in life is different. They are allowed to experience that.

If they are being insensitive to your concerns, then maybe they are not a good friend, but it sounds like you’re the one insensitive to their concerns. You can both have different concerns.

Also this is literally a Switch post in a gaming community amd you self selected this complaint in here. It’s telling.





Nope. It’s apparently going to be LCD. Based on recent handheld cycles, they’ll just re-release in a few years with OLED as the major excuse for it. No real upgrade other than that.

They claim it’s “better” cause the new one is 1080p instead of 720p. Whoopdeedoo.

I’ve also always known OLEDs to supposedly be more power efficient than LCDs, so a battery life downgrade in a way.



Don’t give Nintendo more money for their lackluster crap.

If you can’t help yourself, at least wait for the inevitable OLED model.


Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.


Your comment is what I’m getting at. It’s not the same anymore. Instead it’s like getting a new PC graphics card and finally being able to turn up the settings on mostly the same games.


That too, but also console gens aren’t what they used to be. What has the current gen done to justify itself beyond the prior gen?

The PS5 is basically PS4 Pro 2. Meh.

Where’s the excitement? We don’t have the graphical or storytelling upgrades of the past anymore. What is going to be incredible and new abiht the next generation? Probably not much.


How many people raging about this probably played the shit outta San Andreas. Oohhhhhh but that’s okay cause it fits their stereotype?


I always wanted to see anything else. I’m a human male every day. Give me a female and/or an alien or some other strange thing. Let’s be different!

I never understand this need for people to mimic themselves.


While it has been quite a while now, I would have a hard time getting over the fact that I have never encountered a WD HDD that did NOT fail. Between prebuilts when I was younger, and friends/family computers I helped with. It was astonishing how pathetic the WD’s were.

Disappointing years ago when I read they acquired Seagate.


Republicans have no issue suggesting some people oughta be killed though, including the current idiot-in-chief.

Hypocritical projecting evil pieces of shit, including every single fucktwat that votes for them.



Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. Adol meets Dogi for the first time, again and again if you decide to get imprisoned multiple times. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/b0154204-74f4-470c-882f-1b213f42d689.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/e2c0b70e-bee8-41b2-bbd3-72bdf62ec91d.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/a9947288-601b-4718-8adc-f250796518ca.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/0894d3eb-6a41-40d7-a849-e9bf45760c3d.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/301d858e-b6d9-49b5-9e1a-13e75f441b8b.jpeg)

Today is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty from the Master Collection, Volume 1 on Steam. This is really just the HD edition from a decade ago though. But they did seem to enhance the visuals a bit, and like the other collection games, it comes with some background material like a Screenplay. This was probably my 20th time playing this game on yet another platform since the original. Here messing around with soldiers. I like the markers over their heads. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/59b45121-d151-4c75-ac37-0e9ee1e81d2a.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/8ce07b59-2e64-4538-88cf-fc72b4bbb77c.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/7326e276-d572-4254-be81-55cfa72cb811.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/d8537fd6-524b-4ea1-84f8-0ee9f899503d.jpeg) Magazines come in handy. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/89b3e996-4b38-41aa-bd4a-4a40beaaa695.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/1f9078ea-0003-4f5d-9da8-6d57f801e6a0.jpeg) I also like a lot of the in-game posters.

It's non-canon, but still a great game. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/96f42cb6-c678-4afe-85d1-9e621d72242d.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/dd322ce6-af88-46bd-b610-0657058b0818.jpeg) More "interesting" posters. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/af3789b5-5cf6-40da-b0df-38786a431e97.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/e82d01b2-2b31-42f1-8c8e-8f53308acd6a.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/25b3c501-5984-42a3-aae3-fa48a117045a.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/476f9163-52aa-4222-a797-58ed166c34ee.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/40b3ce4d-35d8-4190-89c7-150592aff30d.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/2cfe4aa8-cd64-4b87-b4f0-1a1a872f5a07.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/b5f8c44e-4d83-40d9-a72b-5eec9a900127.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/61f0c42d-f5b3-44ce-83fa-faf683e8d1ea.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/519bc959-9194-4aee-993c-3fa993fc74b7.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/09cf9106-4a66-46cf-b33f-9895bcffb784.jpeg) There's an easter egg early in the Tanker if you find a specific poster of a woman in a locker and stare at it just right, then call Otacon.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for PS Vita. Fishing edition. Some random fishing pics I grabbed. I liked the fishing part of the game. It even slightly contributes to the story and progress if you catch them all. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/aba99f6c-c60b-41e6-9a58-3db5bef42293.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/f443c374-fe56-44d4-b102-05f6a733d3b5.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/167d4252-b987-4713-8079-b97d6d152530.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/de85b791-33f9-4059-a49c-0ec58ac7f8cf.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/d05f210e-811f-4a89-aac9-a3c167a6bb1b.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/7f80daa1-137a-466e-9448-f0c14a28b3d6.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/f971c3f3-828d-4940-a5c5-2e2aa81f6562.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/07c2520e-e85d-43a6-9dd0-8c487249d8e1.jpeg)

Metal Gear Solid from their recent Master Collection, Volume 1. Played mostly via Steam Link and a little bit on Steam Deck. This was playing through the Japanese version (it has pretty much every version included). At this moment I think Snake's saying "that takes care of the cremation." Here's a bonus screenshot of how this collection handles the games swap to disc 2. It does a disc flip animation showing one disc exiting and another inserting. I liked it. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/d33e236a-7eff-400b-9ed8-33e1b1105c89.jpeg) And here's Johnny freaking out in Japanese. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/21d42bb1-1097-4538-b226-9130e728f222.jpeg)

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, Volume 1. Mostly played streaming to my TV via Steam Link, but also played a bit on Steam Deck. I think this is an English dub of the MSX version. This isn't the NES version. It was an excellent game for its time. Snake also seems really concerned with Christmas as you can see. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/94da923d-35f5-4184-8684-2cd46b6a67f8.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/5e8d3649-d60c-43e8-b079-81cd4f98d260.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/f11446ce-e960-4685-b385-45130e4f0ca0.jpeg)

Been having issues with lots of pics and getting errors. Apparently I have to reduce the already potato quality down to even more tater quality just to get it to allow upload. Anyways, here's more Ys II on Steam Deck. A frozen statue allegedly holds interest in our red-haired swordsman. ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/c75486e2-9fb1-470d-9b3b-0c73a9a7656e.jpeg) ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/96388eeb-2a17-4eab-915f-1f21d6ca6759.jpeg)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Fatesworn DLC for PS4 played on PS5. Played this game to 100% on PS3 originally. Was fun to play it again completely, and then get a bit more story beyond the original release with this DLC. I have always felt this was an under-appreciated action rpg with a lot of great lore, fun characters, and varying environments. The world and lore was created by R.A. Salvatore (fantasy writer), art sonehow directed by Todd McFarlane (Spawn creator), and originally funded by Curt Schilling (baseball player), and then at one point the IP was owned by the State of Rhode Island. So basically you're getting a story in and out of the game Ha Ha. It was wild to watch this over the years come back to life with a re-release. Note: Apparently lemmy can't handle large pics. Had to shrink it. So it gets potato quality like my previous Vita screenshots.

The best way to see the hero involves kidnapping. From Ys I Chronicles played on Steam Deck. An excellent older game and story.

Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. A (very important to the lore) woman that the main character rescues is fainting because she had to walk all the way back to town. What a monster he is to not carry her the entire way! Haha.

PS Vita game Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This is early into the game when you find your first castaway. Adol stumbled on her bathing in the stream. I personally always loved the Vita graphics and the feel of the handheld, so I prefer this version of the game.
