    Gaming What games are you currently playing?

    Always nice to see Grandia get some attention. I can't remember, have you played the PS1 port before? If so, how's the Saturn experience?

    Gaming Free Games thread

    Thank you both, I just claimed it. Do I want the game? Do I know anything about the game? Who cares, it's in my account now. (Anyone play this? Is it recommended?)

    The Meme Box

    I was guilty of this, even as a kid. I wanted to experience Super Mario RPG like it was my first time, but no such luck. TL;DR: You play it, you remember it.

    Homebrew RELEASE reVC: Reverse engineered GTA Vice City - Switch port

    One I came across is that unlocking the FPS causes physics issues. Is that present in the Switch port? I'm not sure if there were others. I feel like a fresh install every once in a while clears up small oddities that seem to accumulate over time. (I'm hoping that's not my HDD or PC having...

    Gaming What games are you currently playing?

    With courses starting, I don't think I'll be able to commit to this game, but I did start playing Mega Man X Regenesis. So far, I really appreciate it. The gameplay feels (mostly) like a real Mega Man X installment. I refuse to look at guides, so I spent time spinning my wheels. I really...

    Thread for Random Stuff

    Oh hoho, I remember when I was in college in the mid-2000's. My friend and I were playing Soul Calibur II on the GameCube. An acquaintance walked into the dorm room, sat down, and rambled. I thought he was talking to us. So, I answered as I Calibur'd. After an extended bit, he showed me his...

    Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look - now on YouTube

    So crazy. Can you imagine what a dev in the 2000's would do with that money? It reminds me of Phantasmagoria's budget being around $5 million USD, but the game was a commercial success. That gamble paid off. I think I said it in another topic, but the whole "game as an experience" mindset means...

    The Meme Box

    I remember being constructively critical of Wind Waker, and I took a lot of heat back in the day. I like seeing that the community is more united on MGS4's cinematic nature.

    'Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2' launches today

    Thanks for the info. I haven't thought about Green Man Gaming is ages. There was a short time, probably back in the early 2010's (when they were new) that I'd always check for deals. It seemed like they always offered the new stuff at a significant (enough) discount compared to other storefronts.

    'Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2' launches today

    How MGS4 was going to run was a big question mark, considering all the Cell talk. I appreciate the heads up. Also, I can confirm that the game is $49.99 USD. I appreciate that it's a great way to legally purchase Ghost Babel. Humorously enough, the GBC version goes for about $120-$150 USD...

    Tutorial How to annoy Flame

    I ain't pursuing a funny ban; Of anarchy, I am not a fan; I'll take a strong warning; Anything but boring; And, for this, on that hill, I will stand. I feel like I've done a bit like this before.

    Rockstar Games releases statement regarding recent GTA VI leaks

    This part of your post stood out to me. Ever since the 7th gen, the industry has kind of veered into the "product as experience" lane. I think Rockstar really does position any major GTA project as a prestige release that requires Hollywood-level hype. You know, teaser trailers for another...

    Homebrew The Minish Cap gets a native 3DS port with dual/widescreen support

    Widescreen is implemented? The lower screen has map, item, and quest information? There's Randomizer support? New 3DS-specific enhancements? They really went to town with this port. Kudos to the devs. It inspired me to see what Minish Cap is going for on the open market, and it's still super...

    Terranigma is coming to PC (Steam/GOG), PS4/PS5, Switch 1/2, and Xbox Series X/S.

    If I remember correctly, the trailer had a CRT filter on every clip. People may have been nervous that it wouldn't have nearest-neighbor scaling. (The Grandia collection launched with only the bilinear filter, if I remember correctly. The devs were keen to fix that omission.) I think they...
