Playing back Destiny 2 New season, new content to play with.

I got a 90k PS2 Slim. Seems to work better than my old 39001 fat PS2. The laser seems to be on its way out... it would freeze a lot in Resident Evil games on the door sequences (loading screens). The 90k doesn't seem to have that problem.

I ordered a copy of MGS2, MGS3 and Resident Evil 4.

Personally I love those fat noisy PS2s, can't remember my model though and the HDD adapter blocks that sticker bearing the model number. Soft-modded and 200GB (though I messed something and 128GB usable ) HDD, nice to play NTSC games with a PAL console because of the higher framerate

Absolutely hooked on Book of Demons. The first time I played it, liked it but couldn't really get into the game's flow. Tried again a few days back and... apparently after some progression you get a Diablo playstyle on steroids

Chaos. Loving it... into Freeplay mode now having finished campaign and still only one death... might want to try again for the leaderboard 1600m deep down and still digging

Its really really cool how this game made its own little ARPG niche borrowing the typical elements and making something very special. There is no numbers game here, no itemization - the drops are the skills/cards themselves and can be upgraded. On higher difficulties, the cards can be disabled, stolen, or muted by bosses, like the nr's 5 and 9 below. It brings an endless number of challenges and randomization to the game, as some cards are really rock/paper/scissors versus specific enemies.

Mechwarrior 5 released yesterday, played it a little last night. Tonight I actually dive into the game.

I still have my fat PS2 with Free McBoot. Unfortunately, with a weak laser, it's mostly only useful for running games off the HDD now... and that means no PS1 games.

I have FreeHDBoot; the same but boots straight from HDD. It's great to have a 2nd PC with a PATA connector, since I have a PATA HDD in my PS2.

That's my 4th or 5th PS2, the first I sold and few have broken. The most surprising thing was how good a generic 5EUR ebay DS2 clone is, played hella lot with that gamepad. Didn't got any controllers when I bought my PS2 from friend, dammit. Of course as a game collector I have genuine games too, but like I said, PAL sucks because of the lower framerate.

 

[hat]

I started with FreeHDBoot. That's how I got the mod running in the first place... I remember digging up an old IDE drive somewhere, connecting it to an old computer with IDE ports on the motherboard, and pushing the mod. From there I was able to install FreeMCBoot. I've since bounced around between the two, but for some reason I prefer the memory card version...

Damn, those FreeMCBoot cards aren't expensive in ebay. I guess I could get one too.

 

[hat]

With FreeHDBoot already installed, you can easily make your own if you have a PS2 memory card laying around. You just grab the installer, put it on a thumb drive, and run the installer from ULE. It's better to do it this way anyway because you can install FreeMCBoot for your console specifically, rather than doing a blanket install for all consoles as a FreeMCBoot card seller on eBay would be likely to do.

 

[Ruru]

I have only one memory card, can't use that :| maybe my tr00-gamer friend has one spare lying around..

 

[hat]

You can use the same memory card for save files and FreeMCBoot. The mod takes up some space, but there's still plenty of room left over to do some saving.

Alternatively, if you're worried about memory card space, you can pick up one of those unofficial 128MB cards or something, but I've read they're not as reliable as the official Sony cards. You can always use ULE to copy saves back and forth from the MC to the HDD as well, in case something happens.

 

[Ruru]

Alright! But, I'm not in a hurry so I probably just get one from ebay. And hell no, I'm not getting those unofficial large cards, I know that they are unreliable..

I never played fps games and never will ..except for GoldenEye 007 (2010). Playing it for the 10th time or something. I usually replay story mode every year. GoldenEye is the best Wii game (after Metroid, Last Story and Xenoblade). What a blast! I miss Eurocom, their games were awesome.

Physics and enemy AI are perfect, and level design is just cool!

Multiplayer is topnotch, shame that servers are closed now.

Xenia Onatopp is one hot baddie. I never wanted to kill her, just like I never wanted to kill Sniper Wolf in Metal gear Solid Twin Snakes. Unfortunately story mode forces me to do it.

 

[Ruru]

Beat Saber for a long time (lol, a week's break). Added few new tracks, and after few beers and brandy shots it's the best experience. Not too drunk, but I clearly feel that I'm not completely sober.

Just need to make sure nothing's on my way when I move like a fkin windmill..

 

[TheOne]

Just replayed HL2 through EP2, now I'm playing through Black Mesa's public BETA, next I'm thinking about replaying KOTOR and KOTOR II.

 

[kakantot]

Red Dead Redemption 2. Playable on my GTX 1070 @ 60fps 1440p. Wohoo.

im playing Surviving Mars , very good game . got it for 14 on steam

Every youtuber keeps comparing it to 76, but since I hated FO4 as well, I'd go as far as saying - better than an entire FO series reboot from Bethesda.
I think I've only had good time playing FO3 on Playstation 3 many-many years ago, but never managed to get the PC port to work stable on either of my PCs ('cause Bethesda, of course).

Fallout 4 is the only game I’ve ever played that actually made me angry. Speakingof which (Fallout, not angry):

Well, I can explain that. Just not Fallout 76 (because it's multiplayer).

Bethesda are one of the originators and masters of emergent gameplay. It's not as simple as making big spaces and open worlds, but a combination of AI/environment/etc changing the conditions of gameplay in realtime.

I started playing Fallout 4 pretty seriously becuse of that statement. Then I fell out hard because it’s such a stupid game, but lately I’ve started that and Skyrim again just to see wth he meant with ”bethsoft good at emergent gameplay” because that is not what I associate with those terms. I even have notes! Might be writing a really long post on it at some point.

Fallout 4 was on my shitlist only because of bugs. So many years past release, and I still can't get a single full playthrough.
Skyrim, on the other hand, made that list 'cause spiritually it's about as far from Elder Scrolls series as you can possibly be. Basically a generic RPG with so many dragons that past the first couple encounters it becomes more of a nuisance than feature. I'm an old-school ES series fan and started my journey w/ Redguard. My first job was an admin in a gaming pub (worked night shifts after school), and I think at that time I put in at least 999 hours into Morrowind. Had a co-worker who knew all major NPCs by name and was the first one in our town to figure out the fastest way to max out all of your attributes to 100+ at lvl 20 in one sitting (that was before Youtube, and we still had dialup at work, mind you, so no handy guides and playthroughs).
Owned Oblivion on pretty much every platform, and even bought Shadowkey for my NGage QD. While "simplification" trend started some time ago, Skyrim was the final nail in the coffin. Not only did it not have levitation, but also my favorite over-complicated but still amazing RP system was replaced with console-like perk system for little kids and "slow" people. Main story was garbage, only slightly redeemed by following DLC. Basically it followed the Oblivion footsteps (underwhelming campaign, horse armor, saved by Shivering Isles), only with shit and drama amplified by a factor of gazillion. I did quite a few Skyrim playthroughs (incl. all super-duper-updated-legendary-GOTY-editions), but mostly out of habit and for checking out new cool community-made mods/quests. Had good time with DLC, but the main campaign was usually just the means of leveling before Solstheim.

 

[Ruru]

I hate that building bullshit in Fallout 4. I still love FO3 & NV, and I guess I SHOULD give FO4 a new chance..

Damn, it's the only game on my Steam library which I've bought with the full price of 60 EUR and I've played for about 8 hours.

Here's my progress so far in Destiny 2 Shadowkeep Season 9 w/ Annual Season Pass. Also, finally the Borealis Exotic Sniper Rifle has been Masterworked after so long. XD

Just replayed HL2 through EP2, now I'm playing through Black Mesa's public BETA, next I'm thinking about replaying KOTOR and KOTOR II.

You prompted me to fire up HL2, this time with the MMod which adds some interesting features like using the Combine stun baton, detaching their fixed weapons (can't remember what they're called) that have incredible power and the weapons, in general, feel much more solid.
Loads of graphic options too and I'm racing through it as it still feels fresh after all these years.

New battle royale mode for FH4 just released. It's pretty fun. My best for today:

Hell, I've never got into the HL games, and I've been told numerous times that I should. I was purely a Playstation kid when the first one came out, and I didn't have a PC fast enough when HL2 came out. Then I just skipped those. Is HL: Source fine or should I get Black Mesa?
