Growing up this bad boy was my family’s only gaming console: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZUxsuLBaL.jpgIt had Ms Pacman, Galaga, Mappy, Pole Position, Xevious… that might have been it? It was like you said, you just plug it into the video and audio jacks, it was all one thing.
The best game ever made is Baldur’s Gate 3, so that’s what I’d give if he hasn’t played it. IDC what kind of games he usually plays, that’s what I’d give.
HK rocks! Those aspids fucking suck. I kept getting hit by them fuckers. The Trial of the Fool was tough, but the Mawleks got me nervous and jumping and that usually ends bad.
Did you open up the Hall of the Gods? You could practice on the bosses you’ve found.
I have opened it but haven’t actually been inside. I usually do okay until the Mawleks. Usually die right after them. It’s not a bad idea to practice bosses actually. I’ve gotten every boss in the game on this save except HK, and Grim.
Krafton seems to be attempting to diversify with this purchase and also the purchase of Unknown Worlds. We’ll see how many enshittification mandates they force on their studios when Subnautica 2 hits early access this year (it’s already confirmed to have online multiplayer so eyebrows are raised)
Sit down with them on their new gaming machine and sign them up for Steam or GOG. While they are doing that, slyly buy Steam or GOG credits on your phone and gift them to your buddy. Have your buddy go through the automated recommendations and gently inform your buddy whether a game is worth their time or not. And then watch as they add games to their wishlist thinking that they are going to pay a bunch for it.
I mean, they will eventually. No one in the MPCR escapes spending a fortune on their wishlist.
Also, if he’s a bit of a tinkerer, he might be interested in trying shooters using gyro+flick-stick, which he probably didn’t have access to before. Witchfire, Deep Rock Galactic, and Deadlink can readily play that way once set up in Steam Input. Some games you only need to set up the gyro-to-mouse and flick-stick, whereas others (eg Vermintide 2) you have to map the entire controller manually.
It’s amazing with friends… especially when one of them decides to be the cook, and burns down the base because they forgot to turn off the stove while we’re all out scavenging for supplies…
