There are games that when you look at them in a vacuum (The PS1) retain a good standing or even remain of Legendary Status.
If you were to look outside of the PS1 ecosystem then come back to it, what PS1 Racing Games do you still feel hold their own in some way despite the technological disadvantage?
Hi. I am curious about some of the worst Trade-Ins people have ever made.
It can be Trade-In related stories about trying to get Cash or about trying to get another Game with said Trade-Ins.
It could be about something you regretted Trading In, the exchange of multiple Games, a bad retail experience, perhaps you were the Cashier who processed that Trade or maybe it was just a bad Trade that you witnessed happening or a Friend told you about it.
Hi.
I don't consider myself a Collector but I have a Collection. It nears a 1000 titles across multiple platforms.
I built much of it up with the intension of eventually playing everything but I simply don't have a long enough time to seriously sit down and give every game some solid attention.
It feels like a looming metaphorical weight that sits on my shoulders and hangs from my back.
I have taken steps to refine my approach to storage, have aimed to be selective and committing to avoid hoarder-like behavior but I have to admit it's too much now.
Any pointers on making some aggressive cuts?
Platform(s):
Master System and/or GameGear
Genre:
Tile-Based RPG-Strategy
Estimated year of release:
1993?
Graphics/art style:
Slightly Anime. Similar to the older Fire Emblem games.
Notable characters:
The Princess(?), Knights and Mercenaries.
Notable gameplay mechanics:
Weapon Triangle, character recruitment.
Other details:
An enemy Kingdom invades the land. Severely outnumbered, the Princess and her small group of Loyal Knights have to retreat back towards their Capital to join up with the Kingdoms forces to make a stand whilst being pursued and ambushed.
Along the way, the Princess can come across displaced Knights, Soldiers and Mercenaries who can be recruited. However, some of them want Riches, Titles, Power (or something more) for their aid but if the Princess can't keep her promises, her hired help will raise the Kingdom to the grounds themselves.
I have a rather polarising choice to make as a Console Gamer and Collector who both values the present and the past.
After the 27th of June, my plan is to either import a US copy of Earthbound or buy a UK Xbox Series X using the extra earnings from my overtime.
The Series X has a few titles I would be interested in but the main draw is the new Fable game coming out next year.
Earthbound is one of the final SNES games I would like to acquire for my small SNES collection of worthwhile games.
What choice do you think I should make? I feel equally about both options. I felt like asking as it's a bit of an absurd scenario.
I am of 2 minds.
X "I want the best" vs. S "I don't need 4K".
The Series X is obviously the more capable device but I would have to make adjustments to my storage solutions to accommodate it and I'm planning on having a digital library since I'll be getting a memory expansion anyway.
The Series S is more compact/easier to store, I'm only going to be playing in 1080p and my Xbox 360 is going to continue being my Xbox 360.
Q: I've heard that the Series S struggles with some of the more graphically ambitious games (low 20fps whilst the X can easily manage 60fps). - Is this also the case for the 1tb S model with the 10gb of ram?
Q: I've seen comparison videos between the S and X running at 1440p which shows the X has better picture output. - is the Series X and S a graphical match at 1080p?

After reading this, which Series Xbox do you think would better suit me? I'm quite on the fence about and feel I need perspective to decide.
"Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger".
Looking at US prices, the PS1 version costs a lot.
UK prices? PS1 prices have generally depreciated because of the whole 50hz thing though a number of games have continued to maintain a high price.
But maybe the game that was supposed to be on par with the Star Wars franchise is actually a good game? It does holds the rank of cult classic in the 3DO community and is a fairly respected game on GoG.
To the US/Canada players who have the game, is Wing Commander 3 actually a good game or is it just an expensive multidisc collectible?
Hi. I'm thinking of getting a flash cartridge for my (region free) Mega Drive.
The best choices on the market I know of are the Mega Everdrive Pro and the MegaSD.
Ignoring their prices (I'd have to import anyway), which would you consider superior or do you consider them to be equals?
This is just a question that's been floating around in head for a while.
I've noticed a lot more console repair videos for the PS5 and Series X hdmi ports compared to say the PS4 and Xbox One generation. Though it's probably more to do with the fact youtube shorts didn't exist during that generations main period, it does give the impression that neither console is that reliable.
I've heard Metroid Prime 4 is a flawed game. I don't mind that. What I would like to know is "is it substantial enough that I should play it?"
As in is this "Metroid Prime 4" or is it a Spin-Off where Samus hangs out with the Federation and bikes around a desert?
I generally feel Metroid Prime is a Trilogy but hey, it might be a Quadrilogy for all I know. Let me know where you feel it stands.
As I'm investigating the two platforms, I reliesed that I've not seen much Xbox One fanfair/grumbling about the platform.
If it wasn't for the expanded game library and resolution boost, would you still be using an Xbox One or is the Series X a perfect successor?
Sometime 2 weeks ago, I decided that I would playthrough Universe at War. I had no idea of what as I was getting into but I learned what I could from the Campaign tutorials and turtled my way forward.
Now I'm puzzled about how to deal with the last hurdle. The Masari.
I've done the prison break, it gave me a cutscene with the queen and the sword guy and now it wants me to conquer the map.
What should I be prioritising to not get Zerg Rushed by the Computer and Conquer the map? I have not played a single skirmish match prior to the campaign.
I would like to know if it's worth trying to play this game to some kind of finish or if it's genuinely a bad experience that's not worth pursuing.
To those who have played, what are your thoughts on Golden Axe: Beast Rider?
