So, the patch for Mass Effect Andromeda made the singleplayer more fun, but multiplayer is still garbage.

Mustang, have you actually tried multiplayer yet?

Yup. Every time I try multi it crashes. I've never seen an xbone game crash so consistently. I'm lucky if I can get through one game.

The thread in Games is pretty good, check it out. They have a Discord set up but I haven't been in it yet, I already have a decent squad of friends.

I have an NES, SNES, and N64 in a box at my parent's house somewhere. Carts for FF3(6) and Chrono Trigger too. I had Earthbound with the original package and the strategy guide but sold it for like $10 in high school like an idiot :cripes:

I get the simplicity appeal but I felt like it was pointless anyways. As one that loves nostalgia people get way too caught up in nostalgia. Those games aren't really that fun anymore, sans a few, but just imo and all that don't burn me at the stake

poo poo, now is the time to try to get one though if you wanna be an rear end in a top hat scalper.

Surprised no one has made a legitimate knockoff that works as seamlessly yet (with all the games)

Granted, of course you can hack the NES classic to have more games etc

We spent something like ~45 minutes on him before calling it quits, but most importantly we got the strat down and now it's just a matter of execution. He dead next week.

gently caress nerds and gently caress every single one of them that have made poo poo like this expensive as poo poo. Consoles, old computers, anything like that is just ridiculously priced nowadays. Especially higher quality CRTs like that. That poo poo went for almost nothing a few years ago, but a nostalgia for retro consoles/computers kicked off and now every poo poo for brains on ebay thinks they can charge $1000 for their broken rear end Apple II/Commodore/Amiga/whatever.

the first one was like a PS1 or 2 game. Start with any they don't seem to really rely much on each other for the individual games story as far as ive seen. reoccurring characters and stuff but I started on 3 and didn't really feel like I missed a whole lot. A few hours into 4 now and it hasn't yet to reference 3 even. Worst case scenario if you really want to catch up they basically have video synopsis of the previous games in the menus.

edit: don't get me wrong though there is some weirdo anime japanese poo poo in here, like in this game your dude runs a hostess club and you have to dress her up. It's really kinda...uh weird but IDK

Dunno yet. I left the PS4 downloading a 5 gb patch so I'll try it out tomorrow. Michael B Jordan plays the best friend so that's cool.

Mlb the show 17 is super cool too dude. I play a few RTTS games every night. I like how the game gives a ton of control methods and options for the auto stuff like fielding/base running

Pausing and resuming a download helps out most of the time. Still takes like 40 minutes to download 3 gigs.

yeah its abmysal, i remind myself of that once a year when I get impatient and buy a game like HZD on the store then wait 12 hours to play it, at which point I could have probably realistically made dozens of round trips to the gamestop thats all of 3 miles away

gently caress why did i not know that.

i also just figured out the 5Ghz band on my wifi router makes things super fast like my internet shot up from like 30Mbps to about 130Mbps which is basically the limit on the tier I'm paying for. sometimes i'm not a very smart computer dork. but then i also realized afterwards that my ps4 is the non-pro version that can't get on my wifi's 5ghz band :(

but then we decided to let the kid use the spare tv in her room so no more MGSV dogge in my office, gonna play it downstairs but that means i can just hook it up straight to the router.

Mine is wired. Tried port forwarding, tried DMZ, tried hooking it straight to the modem. If I want to play something new I plan for 12-24 hours of downloading.

switching from a usb wifi adapater that sucked to just a regular pci one was such a huge difference on my pc, IDK why I even got a usb one in the first place to be honest oh well

i've always tried to keep my playstations wired though because ehh.

right now my ps3 is on wifi but I dont even sign in or do anything online with that anyhow, other than try to clear my backlog

I'm on a "no new games until august or MAYBE july" rule right now so i'm trying to kill my huge backlog

when the ps4 was newish and I had to drive to take kids to the ASVAB I'd have nothing better to do other than sleep in my car, eat fast food, or go to gamestop and waste money on old ps3 games when the price started dropping :/
