I hope I don’t derail the thread, but I feel like this is an opportunity to ask about a couple of games myself:
How are the two PSP Valkyria Chronicles games and do they perform well on PPSSPP? Preferably Android (Snapdragon 670, Adreno 615, if that helps), but PC is fine as well.
I really enjoyed the first on PC and bought IV ages ago, but I haven’t played it because I kind of want to play the others first (which were never ported to PC or any other console for whatever reason).
From what I understand, all the games are more or less self-contained, so I can play IV without missing much but I’d really like to give II and III a shot if I can.
Lol, I saw the same thing when I hopped onto F-Droid.
I think the better options there are probably RetroArch or Lemuroid, which seem to be better maintained and can both use PPSSPP as the backend (though I think you need to add the libretro core for the emulator in RetroArch).
Hopefully their versions of PPSSPP are more up to date, but I’m not certain.
Edit: Actually best option seems to be the official site where they have a standalone APK, so you don’t need to use Google Play (also, there’s no difference between the “Gold” and regular version, it’s just an option if you’d like to donate).
The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.
Star Ocean Second Evolution for me, faithful port of the original PSX RPG. It’s very good, but if you do play it, it is worth researching which two skills help you power through the game lol.
Metroid Dread, Stardew Valley, and Baldur’s Gate 3.
The former on Yuzu’s last build on a nice 32 inch monitor with a big controller that doesn’t cramp up my hands. It’s pretty hard, but I did just get past a part I hear a lot of people quit on, so there’s that. I can’t imagine trying to play it with Joycons. I’d probably snap them in half.
Just finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the umpteenth time, and managed to bag the achievement for not triggering any alarms (commonly regarded as one of the most difficult achievements in the game, alongside Pacifist)
Yes, a moderate degree of savescumming was used. I’m not sorry!
Have you checked 5.11’s Rush 2.0 line? Is that too much Velcro? I’m not sure what size you’re looking for either. The RUSH12 is great for an every day backpack and small enough to easily fit under an airline seat if you don’t have a ton of attachments.
Honestly digital for me all the way, of course I object to some of the questionable delicious by some companies regarding taking away digital owned media, but as long as it’s not an issue digital.
I’m a very indicisive person and it’s so much better to just be able to switch the game without getting up and going halfway across the room, going through the process of putting it back in the case and taking a new one out until I figure out what I want to play.
Easy red 2. Discovered it looking for steam deck verified games. Kind of the feel of call of duty 2 and battlefield 1942 mixed together. It’s cheap and goes on sale for really cheap. Has some weird systems in it but it’s fun to just zone out and play through the maps. There is a ton of maps.
It’s a WW2 fps with vehicles and squads. You take over objectives on the map and either attack or defend. For whatever reason it has a full inventory system where you can loot any body. You can play different roles in the squad. As squad leader you can call in artillery if your radio Man is alive. You can also command your squad. The AI is alright, not the best but it works.
All games now are digital. Just because you have the disk doesn’t mean you can play it. It’s just a trinket now. This question doesn’t really work anymore. Maybe 10 years ago it makes sense to ask, when physical disks actually contained the full game, but now the disk is mostly just a code to access the digital copy. If you want to have a physical display of your games, sure buy a physical copy. That takes up far too much space for me though, so I stick to digital. I’m exclusively on computer though.
After around sixty hours I finally rolled credits on Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Started to feel like a slog towards the end, but I wanted to see the story through to the end. Those last three chapters had to have the most Yakuza-style plot twists I have ever seen. Overall I ended up liking it a lot more then I was expecting given that its the series first JRPG. I think it handled the switch well, although it did feel a bit grindy at the end. There's still some side content I might end up doing, but for now I feel like I need a break from it.
Haven’t played rebirth yet, but played original many times. IGN did a play through review vid: youtu.be/5jvBmusBMzo?si=O3qFNeb__PaF7sHl which makes it look both a lot like and very unique from the original at the same time. I dunno how many hours you put in so far, but it looks like there’s easily 35-100 hours worth of content, which is in line with the original. The video I linked makes it look fun, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get a chance to play it!
I’m not even half way and I’m at about 25+ hours at the moment. It’s great. I think I overall prefer the more linearity of remake but I’m still having fun and the all of the towns being as open as they are is the best part of this open world aspect.
