Good point

I think if the TOS changes on a game you have paid for you should have the right to a refund if you don’t agree with the new one

I sold my PS2 and every game I owned for it for like 3-4 360 games. About 5 or so years later I massively regretted that. Ended up trying to go for a full PS2 PAL collection, likely to compensate. Stopped collecting at around the 600+ mark.

MegaDrive. Don’t remember how I got it, I just always had it. I don’t play it that often if at all anymore as I prefer the ease of emulating on my HTPC with retroachievements. Even got a nice saturn style fight pad that works great for MD games.

Also the model I have is the region free Asian one even though I live in the UK. I’ve always had a JP copy of sonic 1 too. No idea how they ended up in my hands.

Even really old games have T&Cs though, they’re usually just in the installers. They’ve existed for games since at least windows 95

I’ve only ever played 2000 on ps1, pc and openra. Will be interesting to try out this remaster

Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they’re never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount

They’re still never as good as they used to be. I don’t think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

I always much prefer to play at the marine resolution of what I’m playing. Not only do i want to have the same experience as of i was using the console but upscaling can often cause some oddities. Especially with 3d games whereas polygons are sharp and any 2d elements are still pixelated. I think that mismatch looks way uglier than the whole screen being pixelated.

That’s just how camera controls were best then, they were always horizontally inverted and not many key you change it. If you emulate or play it on pc, you can at least rebind it so its no longer inverted

It’s been on ipad for quite a while now, this is just a port.

Looks super rough imo. How do all of these ports look like they’re being viewed through Vaseline but games like Mario odyssey are nice and sharp.

There’s a lot of YouTubers that started doing big videos like that and i just don’t have the time to watch something like that and give it all my attention. Same with caddicarus, used to watch both of these a lot but since they started having massively long videos i just haven’t bothered with them in ages

A proper corporate database with the security it needs and the amount of people accessing it (remember how many people bought Minecraft) yes it would be expensive to have multiple databases doing the same thing.

Hard disagree, of i play Minecraft, it’s for vanilla Minecraft. Clones just don’t capture that arm feel and vibe of Minecraft either

Nintendo are an anomaly though, they’re not struggling financially and when they do the higher ups take a cut so everything else stays business as normal for the most part and they just keep trucking along comfortably

True on the legal front but just wanted to share my anectode on how they’re not always the best for customers because usually you just see the good stuff when it comes to steam and valve

Just want to let you now that I’ve not had any issues since. Everything’s been working as expected now.

Can’t wait for this game. The other one was so good and this is everything I’ve wanted since then. This news just makes me more excited.

I had gifted a game while there was a sale but the person i gifted it to never got on their pc within the next month so i just got refunded and they never got the game. I complained that i still want them to have the game and they essentially just said that i need to now pay full price or suck it. They just didn’t seem to understand that this was an issue at all and were just fobbing me off. I guess technically since i didn’t lose money it’s not the worst thing. But it’s massively annoying because we were about to play that game together until we realised they never received it due to this so to me it felt very anti consumer.

I’ve only ever seen people complain about them tangentially. Guess I’m not following the communities they usually pop up in
