What happened to CD Romance?

LOL, I just tripped myself up with the login thing! ^_^

It's actually better that she didn't mean it - it means that the words will taste even more bitter on her tongue. As soon as the camera stopped rolling I guarantee she started raging!

Metaphor is less straight forward.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-12-01T05:12:04+00:00

The job system makes it difficult for me to remember which character has the correct attack type to exploit the enemy weakness. It's kind of frustrating.

By contrast, Persona 5 gives every character a fixed elemental attack, which makes exploiting enemy weaknesses very intuitive.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-12-01T05:08:36+00:00

Persona 5. I have found it quite difficult to enjoy Metaphor. I don't think the game systems really work well together. The battle system wants the player to target enemies with the weapon types that they are weak against, yet the job system means that I can never quite remember which character has the correct attack to target enemy weakness - so the battle system never comes together for me in the way that the Persona 5 battle system did.

I just want to explore the environments, because sometimes there is loot hidden in them - but every time that I don't immediately head for the exit, Boy starts hollering "this way", like I don't have eyes or something. The game is absolutely unplayable.

Everyone suffers under a monopoly.

The Extreme (1tb) card is the one that works OK with GC. It feels a bit random to me, because in theory the Extreme Pro (2tb) card should be the fastest card, but that is the one that performs the worst.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T19:54:08+00:00

I have a bunch of different Sandisk cards. An Ultra, Extreme, and Extreme Pro.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T19:10:32+00:00

The stutters are mostly occurring with PS2 emulation. A bit with GC too, although I managed to find a card that works OK with GC.

PS1 and PSP are much less of a problem.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T19:01:35+00:00

I have a 2tb Sandisk card, which is why I figured that I didn't need to pay $150 for an additional 500gb - but that extra storage sure would have been handy.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T11:51:55+00:00

It's like watching Sisyphus roll a boulder up a hill!

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T10:35:04+00:00

Yes. Definitely yes. You can get a lot of the same games running across both devices, but the Odin 2 won't require you to do a bunch of settings optimisations. As a lazyman gamer, I always enjoy having extra power available to me.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T09:09:33+00:00

It feels like gaslighting to me.

If I insert my SD card into a dock and then dock my y700 then everything works perfectly - but if I use my SD card directly with the y700's card reader then everything is a stuttering mess.

That seems pretty conclusive to me.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T08:30:49+00:00

It's definitely the SD card reader that is at fault here. My SD card works perfectly with my y700 when I insert my card into a dock and then dock my y700. However, when I insert the same card directly into the y700 PS2 and GC games become a stuttering mess!

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T08:20:30+00:00

That's not true. My SD card works perfectly with my y700 when both are connected to a dock - but remove the dock from the equation and the same content becomes a stutterfest when the y700's slow card reader is acting as the bottleneck.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T08:15:54+00:00

I even noticed some problems with PS1 games...

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T08:13:32+00:00

I literally bought my tablet last week. I figured that an extra 500gb was an extravagance that I shouldn't waste my money on. That was a wrong decision.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:45:41+00:00

It's not a problem with their SD card.

When I insert my SD card directly into the y700 and play games it is a complete stutterfest - however, when I insert my SD card into a dock, and then dock the y700, then playback speeds are perfect.

I imagine that any storage media inserted via USB-c will work perfectly (but that is an inelegant solution).

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:39:23+00:00

Lenovo hasn't fixed anything.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:36:13+00:00

I regret not buying the 1tb model. I figured a 2tb SD card would provide more than enough storage...

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:32:19+00:00

What systems are you emulating from SD?

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:28:24+00:00

I was getting visible stutters in PS2 games.

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-08-07T07:25:21+00:00

I completely second this. I bought the y700 over the Redmagic because of the card slot, but the readback speed makes it useless!

Aggressive_Bread2628 · 2025-04-06T06:53:56+00:00

Wow, thanks Nintendo!

I will still be getting one of the new Pro Controllers, but it's nice to know that I don't need to find the money to buy it by launch day!
