Usually the analog stick. I’m just more used to it so it feels more natural most of the time. But some games do play better with a dpad, so there are exceptions.
Same here. I find it isn’t powerful enough for a lot of modern PC games unless you drop the settings, but it’s amazing for retro and emulation. I’m living in 2004 again.
Played a shit-ton of Vampire Survivors this week and I’m thinking I may pick Jedi: Fallen Order back up. Jedi: Fallen Order was hard for me to get into because, while it has a fantastic opening act, normal difficulty was too hard and easy was way too easy, which made it tough to get into.
Started Cyberpunk phantom liberty. I’ve played the game before the DLC and 2.0 and felt it was ok but nothing amazing. Now it’s just awesome, the rebalancing made my smart smg netrunner fun and the new story is way better than the base game.
I’ve dropped fallout 4, it’s just so shallow and gutted, it makes the mass produced Ubisoft stuff deep. I don’t get why they removed all the RPG elements and dialogue to replace with meh crafting and the story is just so mediocre so that doesn’t help either
Having the exact same experience, though I’ve only barely started the PL storyline. The rebalance and revamped perk tree has created so many cool builds and so many fun ways to play. The game is just a joy to play honestly.
I'm still working on Lies of P. I'm starting to feel like Jack Torrance in The Shining, but I am just half a chapter away from the end. Currently working on getting past the mid-chapter boss.
Yeah, I had a super hard time with her as well. Edit, spoiling the tip
spoilerOf note, if you haven’t figured it out, you can reflect her bolts when she is shooting at you from the air. Took me forever to figure that out and that helped a ton
I played with my PS2 quite a lot when I was young, particularly because it had a much better version of a game I grew up with (NFS Hot Pursuit 2); it then introduced me to other games I quite liked, such as Test Drive Unlimited.
It sadly broke sometime around early 2018 because I didn’t take good care of it. Now I emulate it but still wish my console worked.
I bought Stardew Valley last Wednesday. There’s so much more than I expected. I thought this was like a farming simulator with pixel art. Boi I was wrong.
I think finding all the hidden depth of it is definitely the best part! I’m playing Stardew at the moment as well. This is my second long playthrough and I’m befriending villagers I neglected last time and it’s been great.
Sony forced the studio behind Helldivers 2 to make a PSN account obligatory after the game launched. That’s a pretty crappy move because PSN is not available in roughly 120 177 countries, so if you live in one of those you can suddenly not play your game anymore. And Sony hasn’t got the best reputation when it comes to securing and selling their user’s data, so players are pretty upset and vocal about this.
But I would say that present day Sony’s dick moves do not really fit in a topic about PS2 nostalgia.
Back when it came out, it was so much better than everything else up to this point.
This, coupled with many games that started fanchises and/or were highly stylish and creative, and had new Equipment (GuitarHero, SingStar, EyeToy) make it the GOAT.
The PS2 was still being produced until PS4 was introduced, and its last game was released even after the production ended in 2013 (Nov 2013, but still…)
PS1 and PS2 were both masters of their generations. The OG Xbox was just really “Halo box” back then, and GameCube was awesome, but not as strong as PS2.
The GameCube was stronger than the ps2 it was just limited by the disc format. Compare Resident Evil 4 on the two. The GameCube version had hair physics for Leon and the cutscenes were rendered in real time, while they had to pre-render them on ps2 (which also made alternate costumes better on GameCube since Leon would wear them during cutscenes)
It has the weakest hardware of its generation. During those years you had the Sega Dreamcast, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube. All this consoles had a more powerful hardware than the Sony Playstation 2
And the PS2 was also reportedly the hardest to work with, especially early on in its life before the tools had matured. It proliferated purely on the install base (partly thanks to the DVD playback)
