So apparently this is something to do with a series called Kamen Rider and a character’s phone from it??

Edit: the phone is also a gun?

Slightly blurred tail from excited wagging? :3

I guess there aren’t many older games because it’s a list of games that are available on current hardware. Those older games that do appear are there because they’ve been ported/emulated.

I’m not sure if it has Autumn/Fall vibes, but I’m tempted to get Slime Rancher 2. I guess it’s appropriate for harvest season, as you’re farming and harvesting slimes? Something about it (at least I got this impression from the first game) feels cosy and perfect to play while the days get colder.

Yesss Crosscode is incredible. The soundtrack, visuals, puzzles - just a great package overall and it has stuck with me fondly. Can’t wait for the dev’s next game.

What an interesting concept for a game! Reminds me of Before Your Eyes, in which you have to keep your eyes open - but quite the opposite in this case.

Will check this one out.

Is there a way to do a clean installation of the OS without wiping all your downloads? I’d be tempted to do this as I think compound updates over the last two years have caused a few issues (I’ve got the original steam deck)

At first glance I was convinced that these were either coffee beans or popcorn

Yeahhh the boss fights weren’t that great - just dodge attacks, fire, repeat. I did enjoy the final boss though!

That sounds really fun! The combat in the game feels best when each hit hits hard. So satisfying

Funnily enough I was looking to try one of the recent Assassin Creed games (Black Flag was my last). I heard good things about AC Odyssey, but it also sounded a bit overwhelming in its scale. Ghost of Tsushima perfectly filled this niche and was way better than any AC game I’d played before - I’m really glad I gave it a go!

I can understand that feeling regarding the activities of GoT. I skipped a fair amount of the side content and focused on the stuff I found interesting (such as the mythic tales), which I think helped. The ‘main’ side missions that involved specific characters I thought were quite engaging. What difficulty are you playing on? Perhaps it’s worth bumping it up to make the combat harder.

Have you played Ace Attorney or Danganronpa? It’s definitely going for something similar. I was a bit disappointed by it after the hype I’d seen, but it’s still a decent game. If you want something along the same lines of ‘weirdness’ I’d recommend Hypnospace Outlaw - I think that’s a better game overall.

I feel like this is an even trickier task than porting 2 & 3 too. MGS4’s reliance on the weird architecture of the PS3 means you need a powerful CPU to emulate it. Assuming then that it’ll be a port, I imagine the process of porting it would be particularly complex. And seeing how poorly they did with the HD collection it worries me.

Furry fandom?

Crosscode was incredible, and this is looking equally as great! Really love the pixel art style of this studio - just stunning.

I don’t find a lot of the things in the video that relevant to be honest. Not many people speaking online in games? Sure, but I never spoke with randoms to begin with. Discord seems to work fine on the PS5 from my experience. Do either of those things really affect the decision to buy a console? Games taking a while to download - you have the same thing on Steam.

I could definitely see that developers being shackled to the previous generation is an issue. Having to develop/optimise for 11 year old hardware must limit creativity.

Being a patient gamer, I think a lot of the issues people have with lack of current gen games isn’t so much of an issue for me. There are a ton of previous gen games that I never got round to playing, and the PS5 experience in playing them is superior. And there are a ton of current gen games I’ve now got my eye on - GTA 6, Spiderman 2, GoW Ragnarok, Dragons Dogma 2, Baldur’s Gate, FF7 Rebirth, Death Stranding 2, Astrobot, Monster Hunter Wilds, Resident Evil 4 remake and MGS3 remake.

I agree that PC is the best option in a lot of cases. For me, I like sitting back on a sofa with a controller. The Steam Deck is really great for this but it’s not powerful enough to play a lot of modern games at full res. The PS5 is filling that niche for me.

This - Cemu is near flawless in my experience.
