Title speaks for itself but anyone else had these types? It still stuns me the acclaim Detroit Become Human has with its absolutely inane writing and cliche'd everything. But interested to hear others thoughts and the insanely well received steam has to offer you just didn't get

I limited myself to only 2 shelves, the rest of my retro gaming stuff is in boxes 🙂

Got myself a PlayStation 3 in mint condition, with the original box, for just €35! Anyone still playing on PS3?

Hello all,

A few months ago, a coworker of mine gave me Nier Automata to play, he had an extra copy. I haven't had a bunch of free time to play until this week due to having time off of work. I completed route A, and I must say I don't have much of a desire to play through the other routes. I've put about 20 hours into it and it's starting to feel like a chore. I do like the combat and the story isn't too bad, but I'm not hooked in so to speak. I feel guilty because my coworker/friend swears by the game and wants me to finish but I don't know if I want to. I wanted to know has anyone else felt like this before with a game. How long do you give a game before you stop playing?

What: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a game in the Kingdom Hearts series released for GameBoy Advanced in 2004, with a remaster made for PS2 in 2008 that would go on to be used for "Final ReMix" ports of the Kingdom Hearts games. It follows off of almost directly after the events of Kingdom Hearts 1 with the main protaganist Sora, along with Donald Duck, Goofy and Jiminy Cricket entering an area known as "Castle Oblivion" after following a man in a black coat (of which there are multiple in this game, a singular (eventually a 2nd in another game) woman included) (spoilers for games in the Kingdom Hearts series from Chain of Memories all the way until 3 hidden). Sora and co. have to go up the castle floors whilst losing their memories (as foretold poetically by a man in a black coat) and revisiting worlds from the 1st Kingdom Hearts game. The game uses a mix of the battle system from the 1st game along with a card system that influences the properties of your attacks, to what enemies you encounter (kind of) and even the order you re-visit the previously mentioned worlds.

How: I'm playing through the VBA emulator, with the game itself having been patched for a Polish translation (thanks to Rykuzushi's efforts).

When: I've started my most recent playthrough about 5 days ago since the making of this Reddit post.

Where: I play at home.

Why: I've already beaten Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep through the 2.5 Final Re:Mix collection (which I played on PS3) and wished to play another game in the series, as watching cutscenes on YouTube with my "get spoiled on the game before getting it" mindset wasn't satisfying me anymore.

My opinion (aka. the part you're most likely to read): I am enjoying my time with COM. The battles are somewhat difficult without being obnoxious despite what the gameplay design choices might entail, the story is intriguing from start to finish and the character interactions are some of the best in the series ironically due to the GBA's limitations. While the pixel art done for the game is absolutely luscious, the same can't be said for the music per the limitations of the handheld, and some rare bosses do fall flat either because of them being on both of the extremes in difficulty. Overall, I'd reccomend the game if you're a fan of the 1st game and you're willing to learn the in's and out's of the card system. Oh, and get ready for tone-shifts galore.

I've made a couple of arcade cabs in the past. I came up with the shape of Meet George Jetson while staying in a backpackers hostel. I ended up making the control panel IN the glass panel, with touch controls for START and P1, P2. Was running MAME, but now has a Pandora in it. I prefer MAME but have been too busy/lazy to replace the PC 😄

And the first cab I built, about 20 years ago was my cocktail cab. It features a 15" CRT (PC. Wish I'd bought a backup!) which rotates electrically for horizontal and vertical so you always have a full screen. I actually thought I was the first, but of course I wasn't. I was ONE of the first though. It's on its 3rd motherboard now, I think. Runs XP, MAME v78 and Mala fe.

Picked these up at a local game store.

Found this in my parents home. Both the glasses don’t charge and the speakers don’t work on the monitor.

I’m a huge fan of ps3 games but honestly I don’t see the value in spending money to repair everything to hook my ps3 up to it. I’m thinking of either using it as a computer monitor since I need a new one…. Or should I sell it?

Thoughts?

It was simply my first 360 game and I really appreciate the characters, especially the main character, even though he dies at the end 😭

Adds that retro invasion of Iraq look

Here is my current collection. Got X-men Wolverine last night!
