I'm not. Advance Wars isn't on there either. They're going to find a way to sell them to you for way more than the subscription of NSO, in addition to what you're paying for NSO.
The game has already consumed over 40 hours of my time, and I've got plenty more campaign to go. It does just about all the stuff I wanted JA2 to have to make it play faster - combat is faster, looting is faster, inventory is faster. It has a few things that look like X-COM, but it still mostly plays like JA. The early game is the roughest part but things definitely shaped up once I had a team with size, experience and gear.
And the campaign is detailed with a few surprises and plenty of side quests - it does some things to pull the rug on you, which is rude, but rewarding if you play along and accept a few losses(or carefully savescum and go out of your way to avoid triggering timed quests).
Am I the only one still with a ps3? I bought enough games and Blu rays and pretty much have not bought much since then. If they are still re-releasing things that came out on ps1 when I was a kid then if I just keep my old stuff I’ll have half of the ps6 releases on ps3 lol
Nope, I still have mine and still playing it and the PS4. Finding games I didn’t get a chance to yet on either console is still keeping me busy and entertained.
I absolutely love the two games and I didn't think anyone who hasn't played the games would enjoy the anime. So maybe that's a good indication for you?
First game is a cute and sweet game about crafting and small adventures. If you like crafting, you would enjoy the game.
Second game was like the first game but with more real plot and better combat.
Sure, right after all these "alpha men" beat Panel de Pon on very hard. Manly men real gamers shouldn't have any problem beating such a girly game yeah? :3
I'm really looking forward to this game. In anticipation for this I've been playing Suikoden 5 which came out a whopping 17 years ago. I don't mind waiting a few months longer.
I don't think Modern Warfare 2 ever had fan servers. It's the one that infamously had a "boycott" over the lack of dedicated servers (which is different than private servers) because it was all peer to peer multiplayer.
MW2 had many iterations of fan servers. It started with alterIWnet, and ended with IW4X, which was recently shut down by Activision with a cease and desist. Fan modded versions of the game with dedicated servers and a server browser, with known security vulnerabilities like this one already patched out. Thanks to Activision, there's now no way to safely play this game anymore.
Oh, that's cool. Cool that the alternate networks ever existed, I mean. Not cool that they got shut down, but this is from the same people who shut down vanilla WoW to sell it back to you again.
A lesson to use the right studios for the right projects. Daedalic Entertainment could have made a really fun 2D point-and-click adventure game set in The Lord of the Rings world, maybe even about Gollum. But a game like this was definitely not the right format and too large a scope for them.
My thoughts exactly. Deadalic is an awesome studio with some of the best point-n-click games, an IMO underrated niche genre and some great other unique games. However, they are not the kind of studio for a games like Gollum. Every studio (and even every person working at that studio) has it's own strengths and weaknesses. By utilizing that strengths and weaknesses correctly, you can make great games. It's a shame they got a bad rep because they didn't do that with this game.
2028 it is then.
I tried buying the PS5 when it released, and couldn’t get my hands on one for nearly a year. Then I saw the content lagging and decided not to buy the PS5. I still don’t see why I would want a PS5 today. I got a fairly decent PC, so that can carry me for another 5 years or so
If the content cadence for PS5 is not to your tastes, I don't see it getting better in 5 years. Games the size that Sony is making don't get made quickly.
This is the big thing. There's been a few games that have released on PS5 that had me considering buying the console (Ratchet & Clank RA, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16) that have tempted me, but they're all either already on PC or coming in the next 2 years. Why would I buy a console if everything on it is gonna get ported eventually anyways?
A reason I might buy a console used is because certain titles, like Nier Automata, were poorly ported to PC. I love that game, but the Steam version crashed a lot for me.
Without that fan patch, I wasn't able to play at all. But further into the game, it started crashing every 10 - 20 minutes. Think the particular Radeon card I had at the time was poor compatibility. nVidia users might have had more luck.
I feel Sony exclusive console draw no longer holds a much weight as it used to for PC gamers. In the past I “knew” Sony games would never ever come to the PC, so it was to only way to play them so I got them. Now I just have to wait, and I never buy games at launch either and never bought consoles until the exclusive library could stand on its own without taking into account future releases so I ended up getting consoles mid Gen or end of life anyways. So being first mover on the console never mattered to me.
I simply don’t have time to also park myself in front of a PC and game that way as well, and as far as purpose built PCs that connect to a TV go
I just got a fiber optic hdmi cable hooked up to the TV and use a controller if I want to play on the couch. Don’t really see a point as result for my case to get a console specifically just for console gaming.
I get it for people who aren’t going to have a gaming PC to begin with or PC is too far to connect to a TV, but otherwise don’t see the draw to picking up a PS5 anymore. Not offering me anything novel in terms of hardware since already got the couch experience. If it was capable of being a httpc then yeah that’d be neat, but otherwise find it a hard sell to spend money on something that is just for gaming which my PC already does.
For me I guess. PC is just a Xbox, Sony, and to some extent Nintendo all in one now. Just been nice side effect of digital purchases not being as fractured and then locked into console hardware anymore, since pc is something I’m going to keep using anyways and stuff like steam deck is more then sufficient to play them too as you mentioned. I guess just got tired of being locked proprietary hardware over the console generations and losing compatibility and also having to wait for years hoping for remasters to play games at better settings.
My PC is a prebuilt I got for not that much a year and a half ago, and it plugs directly into my TV with an HDMI cable, the same as my consoles. It's actually next to my TV, and I play with a wireless controller. You don't need a special set up anymore for that, so long as your TV uses HDMI.
How does it’s performance compare to a PS5? Because at least where I live, I would have to spend about twice as much on a PC to get the same performance as a PS5.
Lackluster at best isn't really accurate, most of their ports have been more than functional and usually get performance patches. Alot of these issues are also poor optimization more than anything which means alot of issues can often be brute forced with stronger rigs so it adds value to upgrading whenever its time for that.
Cost to performance ebbs and flows with each console generation, and console generations are getting longer, or perhaps disappearing if Microsoft is to be believed. PC gaming's market share has been steadily rising for over a decade now, to the point where PC versions of some games that used to be console-only releases now outsell their console counterparts. There are a lot of reasons we could guess as to why this is, but I don't think they're wholly two different markets, and I don't think Sony thinks this either, regardless of what they said in court. They're preparing to set up their own PC storefront, probably without anything that will make people want to use it besides exclusives, even though that's failed for everyone else who tried it, but signs are pointing toward them preparing to do it.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s so much that Sony doesn’t see PC as a direct competitor, but that Microsoft is pushing them in a direction where now they feel they can’t afford to cut themselves off from future markets that might be much more relevant and less niche in the future. If Microsoft didn’t switch releasing Xbox exclusives when it came to PC I don’t see Sony bothering with the PC market. Feels like something they were more reluctantly dragged into as the market of gamers started changing.
Also, even with the rise in PC parts due to stuff like mining the demographic had changed too where kids are growing up watching streamers, wanting to stream, so lot of people they follow using PCs. Guys like Linus are pretty big youtubers too changing the accessibility of PCs from this obscure nerdy and complicated out of reach thing into something more people are wanting to try if their interest is piqued.
Even if Microsoft wasn't bringing their games to PC for the longest time, there are other factors that would have pushed Sony in that direction. The games that they're making are immensely expensive to make, and they can't necessarily bank on console sales recouping that cost as guaranteed as they used to. And then there was also the supply shortages caused by the pandemic that prevented PS5s from being picked up by ready and willing customers.
For comparison, best I could find is Xbox Series X|S selling 21M units. Link. This means Sony outpacing Xbox by a 2:1 ratio, or market share is 66% vs. 33%.
