I feel like I'm about to get into these android based emulators. Which of the Retroid's do you reckon I should go for? This new 2S seems really nice. I want mostly to play arcade games, PS1 and Saturn games. PS2 and Dreamcast would be a nice bonus.
Ah yeah I really like the Ys series. I started with Ys Origin and absolutely loved that, it was almost like an isometric Metroidvania, that one. With excellent and memorable music, the music is amazing in this series!
I did play Ys VIII too on the Switch and yeah, the performance issues are noticeable. The game is still very playable despite that. I just lost steam at some point about 2/3rds of the way into the game, after the big cave at the top of the mountain. The ape enemies infuriated me, lol.
I do want to play more of the series, mainly the older titles. I already know I don't like the first couple with the bump style combat, but I want to play at least 6 and 7.
I really want one of these, or something similar in the near future. A Steam Deck would be nice, but that's much more expensive and hard to get here. Honestly I just want my PC's emulation power, but in a form I can lay down in bed and play while chilling. I usually go with my Switch Lite for that, but having access to hundreds of retro emulated games would be even better!
You said it all. Episode 8 ruined everything forever. I didn't even bother trying to watch episode 9 after that, and been majorly checked out of anything SW since. The last good SW movie was Rogue One...
Nintendo first party titles are very stingy with sales. Many third party titles however, go on some pretty good sales with decent regularity. You might also want to make a Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore account to grab Asia-exclusive games sometimes, if those interest you.
As for the games I own and would recommend, there's:
-BOTW
-Metroid Dread
-Dead Cells
-Hollow Knight
-Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion
-Burnout Paradise
-Fast RMX
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (or Rise)
-Atelier Ryza (or Sophie)
-Mario Kart
Just some general, off the top of my head recommendations. If you want recommendations of specific genres, I might be able to recommend further.
Oh my god I used to LIVE in Ultimate-Guitar back in the day. It was the first actual forum community I got into, and I played a lot of guitar, so I was always into the culture and news.
School of Rock, it kinda became a Christmas movie with my family, we watch it every year.
Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger is the other one.
Then there's my personal favorite, Pacific Rim. I absolutely adore that movie, giant robots fighting kaijus. Too bad there was never a sequel.
Oh. That actually explains a lot. Why the game has been delayed for so long. Why their previous game, WRC Generations, came out as bad as it did. I wish I hadn't been getting my hopes up for this game now.
I've NEVER liked the Fandom hosted wikis because their platform is so fucking bad. I also tend to strongly dislike the Fextralife wikis, mostly because their Souls pages were full of wrong information, or lacking information at all.
But Fandom wiki... blegh, it's like a full page ad with tiny holes for maybe having the info you need in the middle.
