After reading a book on Roman emperors I started playing Rome 2. Because of the problematic launch I never progressed far in the campaign. It seems the game was properly patched as I’m having a blast now.
I always enjoyed Rome TW, but it lacks some core game mechanics that Rome 2 does way better: political scheming, civil war, provinces, garrison, … I also loathed the anachronistic representation of certain cultures in Rome TW.
In short: even if it’s already 10 years old, I can’t recommend the game enough, certainly when you are a romanophile!
The only sports game worth buying is nba 2k. The graphics are way better. The franchise mode is a million times better. There is less glitches. Stop buying madden. Tell the NFL you dont want EA anymore
If combat interaction is secondary to kills per second in your design specc, no numbers game can fix it. PoE designers and players seem to fear "slowness’.
Got this for Christmas in 1997 and it blew my mind. Had an NES with super mario bros, and had never heard of an N64 before we got it, and the leap was just staggering at the time. Went to bed dreaming of mario kart lol
I worked with the RetroDeck and underlying EmulationStation devs on a bug and they were incredibly cool and welcoming. I didn’t really have time to start taking on other tickets, but their documentation and availability made it easy to find the problem, get a workaround, and submit a fix.
Saving this post to read in the evening! (Working atm). Do you do this every week/ month?
I wonder whether it’s worth to get the Steam Deck (PC games + Emulation). However also debating about the Switch 1 (or 2). Just don’t know how to do the mod-chip (and if it will be available on the 2).
Since getting my Steam Deck, I sold my Switch collection, since (for the most part), emulating Switch games are a breeze. Theres obviously ones which perform poorly, but the vast, vast majority run so well!
You can always get the original launch model of Switch - you can jailbreak it with a little ‘jig’ and its the easiest thing in the world. No mod chip required. There’s even tablet-only ones, even OLEDs on aliexp if you want to have someone do they hard work for you, too!
The Steam Deck is incredibly hard to beat - Steam games, GOG, Epic and Amazon games. Emulation. Its a lot of gaming :)
(And as to frequency posting these? Lately, every 3 or 4 days!!!)
You are right that the Steam Deck is hard to beat due to availability of games, platform and emulation (though considering the instance I’m in, I’ll acquire games a different way).
I’m uncertain due to the fact there’s a lot of uncertainty about the emulation of the Switch 2 games.
Tried getting the original switch but, I’m a sucker for OLED screen (if I can afford it, I want it hah).
