Persona 3 Reload left an impression, the ending in particular was great.

I appreciate Nintendo setting expectations for next month's Nintendo Direct - however, I'm hoping they'll at least confirm b/c for the upcoming Switch games. IE: "Available November 2024 for Nintendo Switch and Future Nintendo Console").

I missed a lot of the big Switch titles this generation (still haven't played TOTK or Metroid Dread). Hoping Nintendo will release a slew of 'Player's Choice'-style lower pricing for some of their 1st party releases.

Here's hoping the ROG Ally 2024 upgraded battery is able to fit in the original Ally.

Coming to an end of another set of nights and my ROG Ally (affectionately called 'Roggy') was a welcomed companion for the set. Played some Tetris Connect, Lumines, Fallout 4, and Sleeping Dogs (which has been pretty great so far). One hardware issue has popped up, though, and it's a...

Haven't played the game in a long time so figured I'd give it a shot - and it's already sinking its claws into me. I never fully completed the game on my first playthrough, I didn't really like any of the factions and that character's "ending" was traveling into the irradiated zone with his...

Yeah, I'm liking this. Hopefully we get save file transfers at some point too.

With the way the last couple of Xbox generations have gone - that might be the way to go. It wouldn't be a terrible idea to buy out Sega and use the Sega branding for their future hardware. Xbox has always had a hard time appealing to the Japanese consumer, but I bet a 'Sega Winbox' with a...

The Microsoft WinBox seems obvious to me.

I feel bad for the guy who put up $90,000, but lost to the guy who put up a $100 more.

Yeah, it's quite the jump. 1440p at 32" was great before I knew what 4k @ 32" looked like. However, that's for desktop use; For gaming I don't notice a difference and am considering going back to 1440p to prolong my 3080s shelf life.

I heard the new Ratpadz announcement was delayed from today, because Kyle was worried it'd be mistaken for a April Fool's announcement.

Yeah, that d-pad was weird; I believe it had different modes to either simulate a traditional d-pad or a analogue stick. It did neither particularly well. I seem to recall the d-pad inputs were at a weird angle, so moving right felt like you were hitting a diagonal on the d-pad. I'm pretty...

The Sidewinder was pretty comfortable and the six face buttons ( ala Saturn) was a nice touch. The Sidewinder Game Pad Pro was hot garbage, though. Worst dpad I have ever used.

That's exactly what I've hoped MS would turn the Xbox into each time they release a new hardware. I'm hoping that Valve's success with SteamOS and the Steam Deck, MS will see the benefit of a more open platform. With the way Spencer has been talking about 3rd party launchers and exclusives -...

I've got a dozen hours in on the PS5 version but will likely restart on the PC version for the FOV controls. The PS5 version was fine, but that zoomed in FOV (compared to my playthrough of HZD on PC) was tough to get used to.

There's a "install the app" option in the menu. You might want to try removing the old app, install a new app, and see if the new app removes the error.

Retro-bit has the "Saturn Pro". https://retro-bit.com/sega-collaboration Doesn't look comfortable imo, but does have the six face buttons.

I'm hoping some time after the final part of this trilogy releases, they'll release a "full trilogy" pack that combines all three titles into one package and have their level/gameplay systems consistent with each other (ie: levels/materia carry over, etc) - that way we'll get that epic full...

All that I remember about my Via was that it had the prettiest blue PCB.

The current PC handhelds have made me a believer in the form factor - I'd be on board for a new high-end Shield Portable (preferably not Android based).

Here's hoping the new version of the Series X allows standard m.2 2280 SSD expansion like the PS5. For me, that's the biggest drawback against the Xbox hardware. Not really feeling the need for a new Series X, however, if they shrink it down to Series S proportions, I might be tempted.

Welp, time to go reward their decision with a pre-order.

Just finishing up my first set of nights with my ROG and - yeah, it's effectively replaced my Steam Deck. I got the Skull & Co grip case for it, and that rounded out the grips nicely where it's very comfortable to hold. I'd dare say this handheld has become more comfortable than the Steam...

Yeah, that would be a pretty compelling strategy. I heard rumors of Sony doing a similar strategy with the PS6. I wonder how much this would affect Nintendo, now all of a sudden MS and Sony would be stepping into their console category.

I like these handhelds, and find myself using them more often than my desktop pc/console. I'm less excited for a Xbox handheld, just because my ROG Ally gives me my handheld gamepass fix now.

I remember really enjoying the mini-games in the original FF VII, but that was more because they were so novel (at the time). Replaying the OG today, and those mini-games are pretty dreadful. With that said, I enjoyed the piano mini-game more than I thought I would (haven't completed the...

Hopefully OP updates to let us know which title he picked!

I'd be interested - there's a lot of Game Pass games that would work well on a handheld, and not having to worry about the Windows side of things like I do with my ROG Ally is appealing.

I'm hoping this strategy plays out well for MS and Xbox - I am surprised they didn't try out the exclusivity approach, at least for a little bit, after buying all these studios. Still, I never liked the individual closed ecosystem of these consoles, and a step in changing that is a good move...

Arguably that's what Ghost of Tsushima was, and it turned out pretty good.

I've got two controllers that are my faves and both are 8bitdo. Both of mine are also wireless, but there are wired versions of these controllers. 8bitdo Ultimate Controller: this is my main go to for my desktop PC. It copies the Xbox layout, feels premium, wonderful stiff analogue sticks...

It arrived Thursday, but haven't had much time to play it until today (due to work). Most of my previous two evenings with it were limited to installing Windows updates and spending a good chunk of time optimizing Windows for handheld use (based off a Youtube video by filt3rless)...

I prefer the term "Handheld Gaming PCs".

I'm sure if Nintendo's lawyers could've found something to sue PocketPair over, they would've by now - especially how quick Nintendo went after the modders who put Ash and actual Pokemon into the game. Just watch this game become bigger than Pokemon; This could end up being another...

Feels like a modern day "Transformers vs Gobots" controversy. I can tell you one thing, I haven't played a Pokemon game since the original, and if someone put a Palworld 'Pal' or modern Pokemon in front of me, I'd have no clue which one's which (unless one was armed with a minigun, of course.)

Ended up ordering a refurb from Best Buy for $489 CAD today. A little worried about it being a refurb, but it still has the 30 day return policy/one year warranty, and it's cheap enough that I won't feel too screwed if it does brick itself after a year. Currently watching ROG Ally-specific...

I can't remember the model number or anything, but they were a Cambridge Soundworks set with a subwoofer. I remember teenaged me being startled by the roar that erupted from my chaingun in Starsiege Tribes the first time I used them.

Not mandatory by any means, but I'd recommend playing through the original first. There are certain story points in the remake that hit harder if you've played the original.

Not sure if the MS Store version is supported, but if you can get the 7th Heaven mod working for it - it's great. I'm playing through the Steam version and even with the graphical mods installed, I still unlock achievements (if that's your thing).
