It's a handheld. More like a modern gameboy. It can play any retro game, including arcades, up to the DreamCast. They have other models that can support newer systems. Sounds similar to what you've done.

Yeah there’s a ton of different ones on Amazon (nearly all from China).

Typically, they come preloaded with games (sometimes a lot of dups).

But if it’s a situation where batocera or some other front end is preloaded, but no games, it’s really easy to drop roms into folders and go from there.

YouTube will be your friend, as there will be plenty of step by step videos that will walk you through it

did they learn there lessons from NMS tho?

I'm pretty sure you can't be a "Space Dick" in this one either

Looks like Ark 2 or what Ark 2 should be, we shall see.

The PVP experience has always been shit and loaded with cheaters.

The PVE experience has always been great. Either way I plan to keep my ASE cluster for another year or so and beat all the ASE maps before switching to an ASA cluster. Hopefully by then many of these bugs and glitches will be worked out. Doubtful, but I'm hoping.

The first FF16 DLC is pretty decent. Superboss at the end makes it all worth it, though.

I just started it but glad to be back in that world because I loved FF16.

You're in for a treat at the end.

grrrrr my boycott for EA is in jeopardy

Any good hidden gems in the sale? Preferably of the Roguelite nature?

Need for Speed: Unbound on sale for $10. Probably gonna pick that one up.

Thats good because after that horseshit ending, that's about all it's worth. Casey Hudson should be nuthooked, given intravenous Antifreeze, and incinerated in an AIDS fire for that crime.

They make any Need for Speed that is similar to Underground these days?

Take a look at Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. They basically recoded it, and it's been pretty fun. I found it free on Gamepass and decided to try it for nostalgia. But I ended up playing it all the way through. Looks really nice with current graphics.

Been playing Fortnite with the kids recently, interesting game. Kinda fun and addictive but starting to get a little old already

I had to pick up Arma III for $7.00. Way too many toys to play with in this game not to give it a try.

Did anyone play and finish the old “super Star Wars” game?

I’m finding it to be one of the hardest games I’ve ever played !

For my roguelike/lite bois, Risk of Rain Returns is an excellent game that feels old-school. I know these games have been trending towards that meta-progression formula that Hades made popular, but there is just something magical about the games that crush your spirit and expect your skills to improve over time, rather than your stats.

Hey I forgot if you like Returnal you should check out Earth's Shadow on Steam, it's 40% off until January 4th and reminds me of the combat from Returnal.

Pretty impressive being made by one dude.

I found this one on PS Store for only $3. Killer deal.

Researched some videos on YouTube and it does look great. My only issue is that the vibe doesn’t match Underground. Seemed like Hot Pursuit features mostly high end cars like Alfa Romeos, BMW, Mercedes, Bentleys, etc. along with more wide open roads in the countryside.

I want some Fast and Furious-type tuners, imports, and muscle cars I can build up and race at night through the city.

Thank you though!

PS Store is running a deal on the Final Fantasy series that I’m eyeballing now.

I’ve only ever played FF7, FF8, FFX and Tactic. I remember always being upset that I missed out on playing FF9 back when it was released. Thinking I might get that one for $8 for old time’s sake.

And I hear FF6 is kind of a must-play for FF lovers as well so idk. May try that one.

I really don’t have the time for any of these games these days lol

FF6 is amazing and I would highly recommend. The pacing is great and the game has some of the best characters in the series. It's basically impossible to rank the FF games in order but if I had to put them in tiers, 6 would be in the top one.

FF9 isn't one of my favorites but a lot of people do love it. Just know that FF9 is reallyyyy slow, but I believe the remastered versions have a way to speed up gameplay which you'll likely want to do and would make battles a lot more bearable. Also you should know that FF9 was made to be a love letter to all the previous games in the franchise, so if you haven't played 1-6, there's a lot that will go over your head.

This is gonna be really cool

Weird fact. FF9 is the only FF game I've ever played. I think I dabbled with the old NES/SNES ones, but I actually got FF9 on PS1 and beat it all the way through.

Hot Pursuit came out before games like Underground. I wanna say an entire decade or more IIRC. I played the piss out of Hot Pursuit as a kid.

Underground would make a fantastic remake as well.

Oh, this looks like it's right up my alley. Good timing as well, since I'm fairly burned out on Starfield at this point.

Need for Speed Unbound looks like another "Underground" type of installment.

But honestly though, what kind of car modding are you into?

Because the most robust car modding experience i've played was in Forza Horizon. Their Livery editor is 2nd to none. The paints and unlimited livery customizations are excellent.

I've been losing hours in Gran Turismo 7's editor too. Better paints than Forza Horizon 4 (haven't played 5) and you can layer vinyl's in different finishes unlike in FH4. So you could have a metallic paint job and layer matte finished vinyls over it. In FH4 the vinyls are always the same finish as the paint.

However, GT7 doesn't have community uploaded artwork like FH4, which adds a TON of customization options. This puts it way ahead of GT7 imo. The only limit in FH4 is your imagination.

BUT, neither GT7 nor FH have a large collection of ridiculous body kits and over sized spoilers. If THAT's your thing, then neither game will scratch that itch. The exterior body panel modifications for both games are pretty light and basic. They shine with their livery editors and abundant paint colors and finishes.

TL;DR: I'd recommend Forza's Horizon series for unbound customization options and a large open world to play in. The cars are prettier in GT7, but GT7 is not an open world game so you never really get to admire the beauty of your creation during gameplay.

FH isn't as gimicky and arcade-ish as the NFS series, but it doesn't take itself too seriously like Gran Turismo. It's right in the middle.

I've been watching the Starfield drama unfold, sounds like they can't even fix it's problems. Modders are even stopping to mod it, which has NEVER happened in a Bethesda game.

To me Valheim to an extent is what I always wanted from a Skyrim type game..Big badass open world where your buddies can join in and play modded sandbox fun. You can run your own server and make your own rules, just how I like it.

This improves upon Valheim with much better graphics, Combat is way better it seems and it has more robust RPG features.

Coming Feb 8th, looks pretty spectacular. First game was great but overhead, looks like Sony threw a bunch of $ at them to make it 3rd person and over the top.

Any of you guys ever play Mario + Rabbids on Switch? I started playing the first game around Christmas and I've had some knee issues that kept me on the couch so I'm playing the second game now.

It's a turn based tactical game but in the Mario universe. Pretty fun games.

As a lover of the first one, I'm all over this.

An improvement in every way

ooooh. I spotted a player riding a giant Kingfisher bird @ 00:42 in the video. that looks awesome

Hopefully Hello Games will surprise us and release it some time this year. They've been working on it for at least 5 years I guess.

literally no games I'm interested in this year (as a PS5 gamer)

Skull and Bones was the only thing even close to being on my radar but it's most likely going to be trash.

If there was any truth to an NCAA football game coming out, I would probably go with that because it's been a long time

I have a PS5 also and any time I feel like gaming, I go through my library of shit and the store full of shit and end up just playing nothing. The only thing that really intrigues me at the moment is Lies of P. I've heard good things.

I like how I saw this game depicted

You are actually the villain in this game.
The way this game describes and by the look of the images.
It makes you the villain who wants the Pals turn into profit.
In a game where these pals looks so out of place where they belong in a cutest anime game.
Now in a world where realistic world, people and guns are present.

You can slaughter these cute pals for food, capturing them and turn them into living weapons and force them to do your dirty work.

Now you can turn your world into a corporate empire who sees Pals as profit.
Sign me up!

lol

Silent Hill 2 remake........

In about 3 years we're not going to be able to tell the difference between CGI and real life.

PalWorld is ****ing bananas. Minecraft and Pokemon thrown into a blender with guns.

I tried to tell you people, addiction certified.

I might go out and buy a new XBOX, I would play that but of course it's not coming to PS5. Seems like I should switch tbh, a lot more games I'd be interested in on xbox.

Or get a PC bro ;)

I'd LOVE to. But damn you really gotta shell out $2K these days it seems, plus I'd need a much more comfortable chair for it and everything else. Maybe some day

LMAO Holy shit, it's WAY more degenerate than I expected. One of the dex entries not so subtly implies the Pal is out looking to rape anything it can, Pal or Person.

1.3 million playing PalWorld on steam, That's nuts I have NEVER seen a game with anywhere near that many playing especially at 4 or 5 am.

Game is not for the weak, so many PETA posts about harming animals...ummm none of them are real AND it's a videogame!

pubg before it went free to play had 3.2 million at its peak playing.

I'll have to take a pic of it but there's an insanely good camp spot early game for PalWorld. Has a ton of Ore nearby, which is essential, and it's up on a plateau so you can create a choke point for raids.

Essentially #2 but I like his spot better. Just don't have a flyer quite yet to really go out and explore.

the popularity of palworld, Ark is basically a cult classic, that scam game was the most wishlisted game on steam at the time, Rust is very popular, Conan had a solid playerbase.

People want this type of game, but companies seem scared to even try to make one.

Well this type of game with twists that make it even more fun. Just farming or doing mundane tasks doesn't cut it for most. The amount of systems and complexity in Palworld works to an amazing degree. This small devteam is very overwhelmed right now, but I'm sure the millions they made in a few days more than makes up for it.

I don't have a flyer yet either but for future reference those are solid choices.


Just found a Vanwyrm lvl 14, saddle is pretty easy to get too. Not the fastest flyer but you can reach new heights!

What a crazy success story, passionate and broke..small devteam from knowing nothing to mega success.

Been playing Enshrouded for a few hours now - well, that and watching a bunch of YouTube stuff on how to ****ing play it. Like most modern games of this type, it just tosses you in the deep end and laughs while you're drowning. Slowly getting the hang of it. I guess.

The good:

Overall it's fun. The best way I can think of to describe it is Skyrim meets Kingdom of Amular. Huge open world that I've barely scratched the surface of. Lots of shit to gather and craft. There are two fairly important aspects to it - one is a grappling device that allows you to climb stuff (I have that one) and a cape thing that allows you to glide from high spots like a giant flying squirrel (don't have that one yet). You have to progress through the story and gather the appropriate resources to be able to craft them.

The bad:

No difficulty setting. I can see this is being very annoying for old farts like me or masochists who want the game to beat the shit out of them. Also, and this is really pissing me off, no quicksave. If you die, you respawn back at your base, and have to slog back to where you got whacked to recover any loot you didn't already have with you. I HATE THAT. I REALLY ****ING HATE THAT. The game has also has a very annoying tendency to just pop opponents out of the ether which then immediately attack you, and at least in this stage of the game, it only takes a few hits to kill you. Very frustrating. Also, the grappling thing is very twitchy, and you can only use it in very limited spots. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't.

I'm not sure if the game is completely finished yet; that may explain the low price. If this is the case, I certainly hope they tweak some of the most annoying aspects of it. But it may just be what it is.

Overall I'm enjoying it, but not as much as I'd hoped.

It's Early Access so it's not close to finished. I played for a few minutes and was shocked it didn't have a sprint toggle which for my dead hands is a must. It will get better over time and if it doesn't mods should be introduced at some point to fix those things. Might be the type of game that needs seasoning before it's ready to keep frustration levels low.

Also kinda shocked that you can't set difficulty and such, every survival game I know of allows you to tweak anything to your hearts desire.

A sprint toggle wouldn't do you much good anyway, since it depletes your stamina so quickly.

Another thing that seems to be missing from this game entirely is any form of currency, and so far, no populated towns or merchants. And there doesn't seem to be a way to regain health or advance game time by sleeping. The NPCs you gather don't follow you, ever. They just hang out at the base. No meaningful conversations with them, either. You get the blacksmith first, and he just does smithing stuff and grunts/yells at you - period. I got attacked at my base by some wandering zombie thing and the ****er just stood there. Reminds me a little of Diablo in that regard.

One thing that I should do and haven't yet is establish other bases. You can carry the stone/flame things in your inventory and set up as many as your level allows. That will alleviate some of my frustration with having to retrace my steps so often after getting greased. And I'm sure it will be better once I've got the flying cape thing. I also haven't figured out how to roll/dodge during combat yet. I've seen it used in videos, so I know it's there. It may be some keystroke combo I haven't figured out yet, or may require selecting a skill from the tree. Also, apparently the bad guys don't level with your character, so they simply get stronger the farther you venture away from the starting area.

It is an interesting combination of things old and new.
