Really looking forward to Kitten Space Agency though

Older games = more than 2 years old? Then the same goes for readers, movie and TV watchers, etc media consumption most isn’t from the current or previous years

I’m playing a new old game, because i’m playing the Suikoden Remaster. There for I have beaten the system by simultaniously playing both an 20+ year old game and a brand new game thats a few weeks old.

DontMakeMoreBabies,

I got a steam deck on the way and I’m so stoked to use it for Suikoden. I hope they remaster number three!

Mic_Check_One_Two,

The Steam Deck is actually wonderful for retro games. EmuDeck makes setting up emulators a breeze, and the roms can easily be found online legitimately ripped from your own copies of the game and loaded onto a MicroSD card.

A_Random_Idiot,

Suikoden 3 needs far, far more than just a remaster.

It needs a full blown remake, both of the story, and the game, to get rid of that trinity sight mechanic. cause the constant shifting perspectives absolutely kept me out of the game, cause every time I start to get invested boom rip me out of it and make me control someone else for a long period. I understand what they were trying to do, but it was one of the most fundamentally bad game design choices i’ve ever seen.

Suikoden 4 has a similar problem. They would need to remake that, too… and create a ton of new story and side content… because S4 is like a 7 hour game, that only takes 40 hours to play because of the absolutely ludicrously insane encounter rate… which is very blatantly used to pad game length time.

Suikoden 5, Hell… I dont even need a remaster. Just wrap the PS2 version in an emulator and release it on PC and I’ll be happy as can be.

It’s the Baldur’s Gate saga for me right now, and I’m still in the BG1 campaign.

It is such a great game to play on the couch with a trackball while chilling with the family.

My most played game in my Steam library is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus which came out in 2013. The newest game in my library is Atelier Sophie DX a rerelease of a 2015 game.

True in my case. All of my favorites either were released before 2020 or originally released before 2020 and I'm playing the re-release.

Only new IP I got excited about after 2020 was Project G.G. and I strongly doubt it'll ever see the light at this point.

New games are steaming piles of shit most of the time nowadays.

tal,

Old games were also typically steaming piles of shit. It’s just that the ones people still remember are the worthwhile ones, because the bad ones have gone into the dustbin of history.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not.

There were so many bad platformers for the Super Nintendo, but nobody is ever going to go back and play those or dredge them up.

CalipherJones,

Yeah that’s a good point. As a kid I felt like when I bought a game it’d at least be complete, but there were plenty of terrible games back then too.

tal,

Yeah, I’ll grant the completeness point. Internet access everywhere has kind of lessened what it means to “release”.

The most expensive game I’ve bought recently is Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries, which came out 4 years ago.

orbitz,

With different mods each playthrough can be quite different too. That’s why easily modable games are awesome for their price. Of course I just like being in a big shooty mech to blow stuff up so may be biased on that one in particular.

humandotexe, do gaming w Fragpunk is the competitive first-person shooter finally brave enough to declare that balance is overrated, and that's why it's my new go-to

Been playing a handful of hours now. If you’re trying to kick Riot games, this is an excellent replacement for valorant

Sounds cool. Is it on console?

Megaman_EXE,

It’s supposed to be, but I think the console releases might have been delayed?

And there hasn’t been another option for years but I’m seeing an awful lot of buzz for the PS5 Pro with people ditching PC and enjoying that more casual, sofa with a controller approach.

LiveLM,

Buzz for the Pro? All I’ve seen is people sneering at the lack of games taking advantage of the extra capabilities and the price.
I still think the base model is a better deal.

TheMainIngredient,

Totally. Base is much cheaper. Especially the digital version. I think those looking at GPUs at twice the price of a PS5 Pro are given a new option though and my observation is that they’ve been vocal about it

REDACTED,

This doesn’t sound true. I can no longer name 1 friene who prefers console and PS5 pro launch was pretty terrible. Hell, even I got back into PC gaming thanks to VR

rollmagma, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer

How dare you!

No such thing as free stuff.
