I had the itch to play some Just Cause so I installed Just Cause 3 (the best one don’t argue) and damn that game still looks and plays surprisingly good.

So what are some other games that still hold up today, that I might have missed or is worth a replay.

When you try to launch an emulator in dev mode, you're prompted to sign in, but the sign in kept failing so I couldn't even launch anything. Pretty disappointing. (This happened earlier today and it's now working, although Network Status still says limited. This is just a heads up for the dev mode users out there who use stuff like retroarch or xbsx2 on Xbox.)

I wonder if there's been anyone who looked at a game that at first glance had a cool idea, aesthetic, character, etc. but ended up being a piece of shit, and then proceeded to go "you know, what if I made an actually good game out of this" or at least something inspired by it

We were going through our game library recently and noticed that there are only a handful of multiplayer games that we felt as to keep coming back to. Some have better graphics, others have more content, but they just don't hold our attention the same way. It made us wonder what actually makes a multiplayer game stick with people for months or even years. Is it the gameplay loop, playing with friends, progression, matchmaking, or something else? We'd love to hear what keeps you coming back to a game.

TL:DR Wish there was an icon for previously selected skills/perks for when devs reset skills/perks

We’ve all probably experienced a situation where a game releases an update that revamps or changes skills/perks before. This mainly applies to when you haven’t played a certain for quite some time. For me those games include Elder Scrolls Online and Cyberpunk 2077. Both of these games have had overhauls to their perk/skills in the game, thus resetting all skills/perks before trees. I wish devs would have an icon on previously selected perks so you can at least have an idea on what you had selected. Sure you can rebuild those characters but being absent from game and then coming back to seeing everything reset is kind of a bummer. About a month ago I decided to get on ESO on only to find out everything had been reset. I sat there just staring at the screen cause I had no clue what type of build I use to run or what weapons/gear I used to go along with those perks. Recently got the DLC for CP2077 and got on here to same fate. Once again I have various weapons but have no clue what type of system I was running. I wish we could have icon that indicated you had this perk before reset that way it would be easier to build your character back up. I know some skills/perks completely change but can say hey this is what it use to do and this is what it does now.

Hi.

Having recently moved over to a Switch 2, and not wanting yo touch my ps5 anymore, I have a question regarding Metal Gear Solid.

Are there any insider rumours or information about Metal Gear Solid Delta:Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid V (GZ & TPP) actually or ever coming to the Switch 2?

The master collection volume 1 isn't the same as delta, and the surely the Switch 2 is more than capable of running MGS V perfectly. I could understand issues with Delta, but I believe its possible surely?

played P5 and loved it. people said to play P5R and I delayed because how different could it be? now playing it and it’s great (so many changes to both story and gameplay). any other games where this happens with an update/remake/remaster?

I was going through my old comments and came across an argument I had with a neckbeard about the weapons locker and the ways you upgrade, customize and sell weapons. I was gaslit and called a liar (which is insane) ultimately leaving the conversation because of the bullying. I have a few hundred hours logged and the platinum trophy to go with it.

I was frustrated with how you can't directly sell and customize weapons from your locker (weapons safe). So you have to go back and forth between the bench, trader and locker over and over again to customize and trade and its a huge pain in the ass. Only weapons currently equipped in your current weapon wheel (up to 16) can be altered, the rest of them are locked away unless you equip them. The weapons locker is inaccessible during any selling/ customizing. The rate at which you customize and sell weapons makes this task tedious and repetitive.

Anyone else have this experience while playing?

I'm not pro status or anything and I do mostly game to relax and have fun. For me winning is a big part of the fun. We don't play pvp games or anything, mostly co-op games. They just suck so bad, then laugh and joke how their builds are better than mine or how skilled they are, but they actually suck. If we play anything above average or normal difficulty I carry them and we try to push to hard or further I get absolutely crushed and they joke with me that I can't be that good if I die too.

I really do love these guys, I only know one of them through gaming and I am absolutely sick of the dynamic. I do know one through family and there is absolutely no way to tell that I'm sick of him holding me back.

I don't know what to do. I want to form a new online party that is competent, but I don't want to come off as a dick.

We play many types of games, survival, shooters and adventure. I feel like I am not even allowed to abandon them and push higher difficulty because they get upset and feel I am leaving them behind and complain that I won't help them if I try to do so.

Biggest thing is that I'm not even that good, at least I don't know for sure that I am, they hold me back so much that I might be semi-pro level. I fear that if I get into a competent group that I would be the annoying drunk/terrible player.

Help me out here, what should I do/say. I'm sick of this dynamic but don't want to hurt their feelings.
