What's the best resource for tracking the games you've bought/beaten/backlogged/want to play?\

I remember hearing about the backloggery, but I just wanted to make sure before I go on the endeavor of recording all that stuff.

How Long to beat has a function like that but isn't focused on that. Having an estimate of playtime is really nice to have when choosing what game to play though.

Sounds like a big deal for emulator progress along with the leaked documentation. He also mentions RE pushing the story the leaks have dubious other content in them to dissuade downloading of it, despite no evidence he can see?

I remember being so let down with the Genesis version. They completely removed my main. There was literally no excuse. SNES won that round, no question.

There's a bunch of new retro handheld emulator machines out there. I love my GDP win but the battery life is pretty dismal. I used my PSP for my classic handheld emulator and it was perfect for that. Are there any new machines that could replace it as an emulator running? NES-PS1 games?

No experience with any myself, but check out this spreadsheet from r/SBCgaming:

An android phone with a bluetooth controller would be my choice, personally. Or a Vita, if you can find one in good condition. Of the ARM retro handhelds, the Odroid Go Advance Black Edition looks the most interesing to me, but it's not available yet (slated for May 25th).

Depends on your tolerance for long load times mainly. Getting to and from missions isn’t too bad, but loading saves (which will likely be often if you save scum) can take a while, and the loading gets longer the deeper you are in the game (or at least it feels like it). Expect 1-2 minutes save loading times.

Performance can get choppy during mega explosions and destruction, but since it’s a turn based game I don’t think it matters much.

You get the very occasional glitches where aiming becomes wonky or certain models don’t load, but nothing a reload or worst case scenario game relaunch didn’t solve.

I heard some horror stories about iron man saves glitching, I don’t play that mode myself, but that’s an extra reason to be wary.

Game itself is fucking amazing obviously (get the expansion and DLC too!), and it deserved a far more competent port, but what’s there is perfectly fun and playable imo.

MMaRsu · « **Reply #24443 on:** May 05, 2020, 09:03:03 AM »

I had plenty of cases where the game would just softlock on a turn, and there was nothing I could do about it besides reload an earlier save. Gone 45 minutes or however long you've been busy. Then the loading times are abhorrent. At one point, the longer your campaign takes the longer it will take to load. A 2 minute loading screen isn't abnormal on Xcom 2 PS4.

I say dont waste your money on this garbage. Yes it's a great game but the port is absolute dogshit.

Here's a stream I did a few years back :

I guess if it's like 10 or 15 bucks it can be okay. Wouldnt pay more than that though.

There was that Kickstarter that took his name, but then afaik it didn't have much to do with him and it turned out a scam or something. Also a 3DS eshop game, Crimson Shroud.

3DS eshop is already closing in some countries now. Better not wait too long to eventually get things like Crimson Shroud. And then hope your 3DS doesn't break

If there is another PoP down the line I'd rather they keep it much more PG and fairy tale-like rather than the PG-13 grit. That trailer was pretty 2012 with the brown and grey style palette.

Don Rumata · « **Reply #24459 on:** May 06, 2020, 01:29:52 PM »

Yeah it looks like a concept video, more than a vertical slice, even.

Also it looks awful both in gameplay ideas, and in art style.
Stop with the Middle East/Mexico/Africa need the piss filter so brain damaged people can understand it's a hot place.

I don't even think they should bring PoP back, unless they have a strong gameplay idea beyond redoing Sands of Time.

lmao Micro$oft keeps sucking corporate dick. Didn't refund after first saying they would because I already have an achievement or 2 in the game.
Unless I buy this game twice, I'll be forever locked out of the Digital Deluxe content that is only part of that package.

I'll always be conflicted between wanting a PoP 2008 sequel and wanting the original/PC ending to stand.

I still have to play PoP2008. Looks great visually, but I remember finding Sands of Time super boring and repetitive after only a couple of hours and then never bothering with the series again.

If you think games like Naughty Dog's are movie games, PoP 2008 is 10 times that.
Aside from the fact that you literally can't die in the game, everything is so automated and rigid, that watching it on Youtube isn't really all that different than playing it.
It is pretty though, even though i personally don't like the more fantasy art direction all that much.

nachobro · « **Reply #24472 on:** May 07, 2020, 09:40:44 AM »

the original game was really cool looking for the time cause of the animation but so goddamn overly hard. the ps2 games were fun but generic looking and and then turned the prince into a linkin park listening, hot topic shopper. 2008 really was gorgeous but mindnumbingly easy.

one day that series will hit a good middle ground...or it'll just go away forever. one of those two...
