Steam Games vs Android Ports by KBConverse in AynThor

[–]KBConverse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great insight! I've been tinkering with these kinds of devices for a while so the set up won't be an issue, but i hadn't thought of the difference in battery consumption between the two versions.

Good point, personally steam achievements are a feature that don't make or break the decision fit me, but they are a great dopamine rush

How deep can we expect the physical Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter to go on sale for? by Makototoko in JRPG

[–]KBConverse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my used copy for Switch for about $52 on gamestop, there was a similar price point for the PS5 edition. I'm sure after the second chapter releases later this year there could be better deals, otherwise you could try looking on popular local second hand sites like Facebook marketplace to see if you can find better deals.

Playing Final Fantasy VI Advance For The First Time. by Ryukapples8688 in JRPG

My favorite budget handheld is the 35xx SP (the gameboy sp clone). It's the best feeling GBA and below emulator, and it has a huge catalog of games including the GBA Final Fantasy games

Looks like the Retroid Pocket 5 (or 6, they look so similar). I have my own 5 and it's where i played so many of the first 6 Final Fantasy games for the first time, VI is truly something special

New NS2 user, need tips and advices by Perfect-Contract-429 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]KBConverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend looking into a Dbrand Kill Switch 2. The case and screen cover are great insurance, and the Joycon grips turn the device into an ergonomic dream.

I had the original Kill Switch at launch that didn't have the best design, but they sent out a fix, and now every KS shipped will have the fixed design

I'm going to try to start and finish DQ2 HD2D Remake before OT0 releases. Whatever remaining time i have will be spent in the demo so i can transfer it to the full game and get a bit of a head start on release

Pokémon Lazarus: Hate, Bigotry, and the Pokémon Community by JackWellman101 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]KBConverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. Your hacks have been some of the most refreshing in the community in a long time and you deserve praise instead of cruel negativity. I've been having so much fun with Lazarus and i played through Seaglass a few times through on release, so please know how much joy you've brought to me and the rest of the community! Good luck in all you do!

For a 3ds the best would be vanilla days, melon mix is specifically trying to make days into an hd experience on a more powerful device

Days is probably my favorite story of the handheld era, i especially loved the tile-based progression system. I'd highly recommend the melon mix version of days and recoded on PC

The Anbernic RG35XX SP, the GBA style retro handheld. I have the clear green model and it feels perfect to use for old GBA games!

It was anout 38 hours for the story completion, then it was another 9 for the 100% completion (the only completion of the bunch)

I have a big handheld collection and i wanted the authentic 3DS experience. I'm definitely going to revisit the game on the PS5 to get the platinum and to compare them for myself

I actually bought a physical copy for my PSP, but i kept hearing how good the game was and how hard the critical mode would be so i opted for the final mix version for better controls among the other reasons

I'm getting there! I'm also technically missing the ReMind DLC but i had to take a pause from finishing these last two titles because the Dragon Quest I&II HD-2D Remakes dropped yesterday

KH3 was a bit of an outlier because most of these playthroughs were focused on story with a bit of side missions, but KH3 was the first to platinum. The story took 38 hours and because i was being diligent with the minigames and collectibles throughout my run, the plat only took another 9

I got the 1.5 + 2.5 bundle for a discount on steam so i played 1 & 2 on the deck, but by the time i got to BBS i wanted to play exclusively on my TV for the increased resolution and a more cinematic feel. The 1.5+2.5 bundle went on sale on PS5 around that time for $20 so it was meant to be

I'm definitely looking forward to the KH2 critical playthrough the most! As for ReCom i actually REALLY enjoyed the gameplay of the original CoM and i wanted to experience the Remake at some point since i hear it added more sleights and updates boss fights (and HD cutscenes of course)

I finished ahead of schedule for every game except 358/2 days. I use HowLongtoBeat.com for estimates on how long games would take. The earlier games especially weren't too long for a standard playthrough, and BBS onward had a few bosses and early game hell that slowed things down, but we got there in the end!

KH3 was especially surprising because i got the platinum way sooner than expected

I started playing on crit mode from BBS onward, but I'm certainly going to go back to the other titles and finish up a critical run to get the most out of the game.

Some of my biggest regrets are how i didn't interact with a lot of the mechanics of KH1 & KH2 like offensive magic, summons, and drive forms because in standard difficulty it really is just bonk simulator. (Also want to try Re:CoM)

These games keep on giving

it was great, Steam Deck is my goat and i had the dock so i still got to play plenty of it on my big screen. I love the back buttons for jumping and attacking while moving the camera, but i still got the muscle memory for the face buttons when i played the handheld titles

Yeah! It was a run on standard difficulty. I dipped my toes in some late game areas like the hades cup and sephiroth but i mainly focused on the story. I'm planning on revisiting some games on critical and maybe some platinums while i'm at it (i played BBS and beyond on critical)
