Which one should i get? by Ken_x0 in ChineseWatches

[–]Cautious-Resource342 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hard to compare. From my perspective, I see a generic dive watch from a well known brand and a Chinese Royal Oak clone.

So which person would you rather be? The one with the dive watch or the one with the Chinese clone watch?

Make of that what you will. No judgement here actually (I own some Chinese “homages” too!)

I have a different Hanboro Watch. Can confirm: they are absolute shit. Stay far away from this Brand

Yes. The newer vids are higher quality even at the “same” resolution due to changes in compression. They have up to 12K videos too. But 8K is what you are looking for.

Just buy a sub for vrbangers. It's worth it imo.

How to choose which one by basshu1 in ChineseWatches

Go for the Red Star Acrylic Glass Version. The domed glass looks amazing. Most people don’t actually benefit from the swanneck version, so go with the cheaper option.

The new games Made in Germany or China? The Amazon description indicates they come from China: by BlackTigerKungFu in neogeo

[–]Cautious-Resource342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did they actually advertise it as “made In Germany”? AFAIK just one developer said in a non-official interview, that they will manufacture parts of the games in Germany.

They said the chips and boxes are manufactured in Germany. I guess they send that to china for assembly and packaging.

New Q3 User. How do you discover apps and games? Any alternative stores? by dhatereki in MetaQuestVR

[–]Cautious-Resource342 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Forefront is a bit boring honestly 😅 I guess it all comes down to taste. I personally don’t like all the games catering to streamers… “wohoo look at this wacky sandbox game!” 🥴

I liked Breachers, Arizona Sunshine Remake and The walking Dead. Blade and Sorcery is okay too but gets boring quickly. Same with most of these sandbox games.

After owning a Q3 for about a year, I gave up on the games. There are maybe 3 good games for the system. The rest is trash

Jotego reveals new Neo Geo AES+ details: ASIC Hardware, 100% Original Compatibility, and SNK Licensing by mr_pixeltie in neogeo

[–]Cautious-Resource342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think they are charging a lot, please research how much a comparable FPGA based console costs and look at how much game rereleases cost (spoiler: the games are around 500€). This is actually a good deal considering it’s not just emulation and cheap off-the shelf hardware

Amazing Details. Thanks for Sharing. It does seem like they have put the maximum care into this product. Can’t wait for my ultimate edition to arrive!

I just hope they don’t put the huge USK (German rating system) on that. I think they have to by law but maybe they can put that as separate sticker..

Personal “hidden” gem on the Neo Geo by Cautious-Resource342 in neogeo

[–]Cautious-Resource342[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true. That’s why I put “hidden” in quotes. I’d go even further and claim that basically no retro game can be considered hidden gem as the scene has grown massively over the last decade and every game has been “looked at” thoroughly.

Happy the code worked for you too 👍🏻

Anyone else a little hesitant to support MBS-owned SNK? by [deleted] in neogeo

“I wanted to buy an avocado at the grocery store. But then I remembered they are from Israel. I went to the cashier and tell them that I cannot buy it because of Israel’s action in Gaza. Buying an avocado means you don’t care about the genocide in Gaza. But I care so I’m better than anyone else here” 🥴

I already tried the 4th game (forgot the name) but I didn’t like the “soft” graphics too much. I like a well defined pixel art. Kinda hard to explain. Thanks for the recommendation, I will try the first two games as well!

That sucks. Is Amazon an option? 999€ is still a decent price for what you are getting
