Based on what I’ve read about the topic, that’s probably the reason these games are getting pulled. Publishers’ reasonings are vague, but it’s pointing to a licensing thing, which Nvidia seems to be trying to trying to sidestep, evidenced by the fact that they’ve put up games on their paid platform without permission.

I’ve been ordering a slew of PS3 discs of either games that were never rereleased or remastered on next-gen or PC platforms, or some of the forgotten games that never even got a PSN release. This weekend I’m probably gonna take a crack at the Zone of the Enders HD collection.

I would recommend just watching a playthrough on YouTube.

I did really enjoy FFXII, though it did start to feel a bit grindy at times, especially when you want to grind for good enough gear to take on some of the optional eidolons. The fast forward function in Zodiac is a great feature for it that remastered JRPGs should take advantage of more often.

That’s not a great analogy. It’s like playing a JRPG, but every now and then instead of attacking, you throw an egg on the ground. You can still make it enjoyable, but things take longer than they need to. There are a multitude of things I can still do, like hunt for DIY recipes in balloons, collect things, build…

It’s got nothing to do with “power leveling” or grinding or whatever. This dumb holiday just makes doing anything take longer than it needs to, even at a casual pace.

I’m guessing you haven’t played the game. New Horizons does have some form of progression. You have to start from a tent and work your way into building a town. Wood isn’t hard to come by (when you get your axe several days in), but for Tom Nook’s tasks, iron is more in demand and less common. Doesn’t help when eggs…

I’ve played a lot of They Are Billions this weekend. It seemed like an appropriate time to boot up a game about isolating yourself from hoards of infected.

Lets not forget Tales of Symphonia. That and Tales of the Abyss are in the top 3 that any fan ought to play. Shame about Symphonia’s PC port, though...

I think that project is still rolling out, so I’d keep an eye out in the coming days.

It’s the Blockbuster of trade shows, having been resistant to shifts in media for quite some time. With all the ways we can consume news now, next year could be the last year of E3, and I wouldn’t bat an eye.

Absolutely. This article shouldn’t even leave the question open ended, due to the liabilities around it. I like my neighbors, but I have some friends that I wouldn’t even trust with a $10 bill.

It’ll come out of your pocket regardless, whether it’s you, your taxes or your insurance that pays for it.

While trading accuracy for performance, certain games that required special tricks or timings that were exploited on real hardware may not work in software. In my own previously stated example on GBA, some games just don’t run as a result.

I’ve got one myself, and yeah, the issues are spot-on. Typical for a brand-agnostic device to come out of a Chinese plant. The speaker problem can’t be fixed via software, unfortunately, so if it’s a big enough issue you’ll either want to put a bit of tape over part of the speaker to dampen the noise a bit, or get…

Ugh

Well, that’s probably true for generations 2 through 7, given that there were some additional assets made specifically for the Pokemon in the Switch games.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. Like, all of them. At some point I’ve played through at least quarter way through of all 5 games in the series and never finished them. I’m just gonna focus on those, while not thinking about the 20 games I’ve acquired on sale over last December alone.

On the prowl for discounted games at Red Boxes, on account of them doing away with game rentals. Got crash nitro cart, dragon Ball fighterz, division 2 and metro Exodus for $9-13 a pop.

It’s... and interesting piece of kit. It sits in between a standard controller and a mouse and keyboard. More accurate than playing with the former, but not quite as responsive as the latter.
