I’m finishing up Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Might play Blasphemous next.
Looking forward to whenever Nintendo releases BOTW 2 ahahhaha
Discussion questions:
-
Who are your favorite video game characters?
-
What are your most anticipated games right now?
My answers:
Frankly, probably Super Mario as generic as that sounds, even though he technically doesn’t have a character.
Also, probably BOTW 2 and the Warhammer 40K CRPG by Owlcat Games. There’s probably more, but that’s all I’ll say for now.
Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server that me, BayArea415, and some good friends created:
Enjoy!
I just felt like pulling it out of the cupboard. It’s nowhere near the oldest machine I’ve got sitting around and it still works just fine, I’m just using it with an internal hard drive instead of discs. The disc drives in those things are the main point of failure.
I’m currently in a spot of bad internet so messing about the various games off a hard drive beats downloading hundreds of gigs of Game Pass games on my Xbox just to find something I want to play. The games, while low res, still look nice through a good set of video cables and a nice upscaler like a RetroTink 5x.
Oh wow.
Do you have to use an internal hard drive instead of disks or is this just so it works properly (like, in terms of performance)?
I use a hard drive instead of discs because carrying around (not to mention buying) hundreds of PS2 games is a massive waste of time and space compared to just downloading a ton to a 2TB hard drive. The thrill of physical games isn’t worth the prices being charged for them on the second hard market.
In terms of performance, I’m using a third party adaptor for SATA hard drives (the original Sony adaptors were IDE based) which only works properly when forced to run at disc speeds. Load times are about the same as disc but they still beat most games running on slow PS4/Xbox One hard drives.
Good point, tbh; I don’t miss cartridges or disks at all.
