Hey whatcha all been playing! I finally finished Alan wake 2 after a long hiatus. Maybe a tad too long but damn what a game. Cannot wait for Control 2 and whatever else Remedy has cooking

    This week I’ve gotten into Shining Force 2. I got a glimpse of it 20 years ago on a friend’s Dreamcast and finally get to dive in.

    I have been absolutely itching to play Final Fantasy Tactics again, but it’s difficult to find. SF2 is scratching that itch nicely. Bonus that this cost less than $2 on Steam, and I’m able to fast-forward repetitive battle animations and longer dialogue.

      I only played through most of the first one, but really enjoyed it! The second one is firmly on my backlog.

      As for FFT (WotL), do you have a Vita lying around? Its around $10 USD on the store iirc. Same on Android, but I’m not sure about gamepad support.
      A physical copy shouldn’t be much more, be it for the PSP or PSX versions.

        I have a physical of FFT for PS1, but my PS2 always gives an “Unable to read” error for any disc, probably the laser?

        Would love to be able to play it on PC with my controller. I am too clumsy to play on mobile very much. I think I need to look into RPCS3 some more.

          Oh, that could likely be it - you might want to look into replacing the laser as they’re pretty cheap and easy to find (but that’s not really what you’re interested in atm I suppose).

          Anyways, the emulator you want to look into is DuckStation. It is pretty much full featured (save states, fast-forward/rewind, etc) and the de-facto PSX emulator to beat.
