Just started it today! I’m excited

Unfortunately it is! It’s become an expensive scene.

Their MD probably saves more lives than my math PhD :)

It pretty much is, but if you like DMC then you’d probably enjoy this combat too. The plot is… extremely FF. For better or worse.

While it’s a little more complicated than just compiling the code for multiple platforms, I do agree that the effort would have been worth it

Rather than a remake, I would love a new entry that does for Quake what Doom 2016 did for the franchise

Same, but it was quite unique and cool!

I always find it to be one of the easiest to revisit. I’ve played it on NES, GBA, PSP and more recently the Pixel Remaster. It’s just a solid game all around, even if it is basic by most standards.

Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily

Because it’s easy? Why wouldn’t you? If I had an Xbox sitting around and it was an easy option that performed well, I’d give it a shot.

I always like the episodes where he covers things that eventually turned out well, but took some weird turns to get there. I’m super glad the remake eventually did come out, and nailed it.

Still plays good too! The controls are so fluid while being perfectly responsive. Some of the most intensely difficult platforming challenges remain totally fair.

Probably not much, especially if you already like the controller. I have a crap controller that I use with my phone, so it would probably be an upgrade over that… but even so, I’d rather just buy a better controller.

PSP emulation is solid! I just played through Crisis Core on my modded switch at 2x resolution.

This brings me back to plugging my PSP into my TV with the big component cable adapter to play that game. This thread is making me so nostalgic.

I have so many fond memories of playing my modded PSP. Everything from NES ROMs, to PS1 native emulation or Crisis Core, I even used it as an MP3 player with an aux cable in my car before there were better solutions, or watching Futurama on my breaks at work. Back in the day there was no single device that could do all of this. Even now it’s so comfortable and the buttons feel so great compared to newer handhelds, so I just replaced the battery and started replaying Puzzle Quest.

Soo they didn’t get sucked in, they were drawn in and couldn’t resist, and rather than becoming monsters the shape of their bodies was deformed. It really hits Junji Ito’s delicate balance of too silly to be taken seriously, while deeply unsettling at the same time.

While I think it would have been easier to get into FF7 at the time of release, I did try at that time, and actually never finished it until maybe 6 years ago. I had played 4-6 and subsequently 8 multiple times, but 7 never grabbed me the same way. I know it’s a bit of a “you had to be there at the time” game, but I don’t think being there at the time guarantees enjoying it either.

Silent Hill 2… I’ve finished so many horror games including RE7 in VR, but for some reason I get to the apartment building in Silent Hill 2 and nope out.

That really ruins the fun of hunting down a good deal. I sure miss the days when someone at a flea market had a box of NES games for $3 each, and you could sift through and find stuff you don’t have yet. Those days are long, long gone.
