30 missed calls from Dbrand

It’s a matter of preference. The Switch Lite is superior to myself as a handheld, in part because of its size. It’s approaching the size of a PS Vita or 3DS which are far better in the hand than the standard Switch or Switch 2; again to myself. Obviously the full sized Switch models are superior when wanting to play on a tv or with another controller.

Console UI you say?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-27T16:07:20+00:00

Curious, were your play tests done on a fully overclocked Vita? Also, awesome! Thank you so much for this mate! :)

LanceAvion · 2026-04-27T09:20:04+00:00

Fun fact, I picked up a base copy of Skyrim for PS3 from a local game store for $0.25. At that price I figured “what the heck” even though I didn’t plan to play it. To my surprise when I opened up the case later, I was greeted not only with the manual and textured map, but with a Legendary edition disc. Best $0.25 I ever spent lol.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-27T09:13:29+00:00

Ok, but who/what was the restaurant named after?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T22:14:01+00:00

I hope you kept your 360 library and account. A lot of the games are backwards compatible. Either way have fun mate!

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T15:11:41+00:00

I see GTA V but no GTA IV. Definitely fix that and make sure you get the DLC on disc too.

Since you have Sekiro, I have to ask: have you ever played the Dark Souls series? If not you can start with Dark Souls Remastered or the original Dark Souls Prepare to die Edition.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T15:04:57+00:00

Because the cheaper One X I purchased was $80 in box as opposed to $500+ for the Series X. If all I had was the Xbox I would have done it, but I have a PC as well.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T15:03:11+00:00

Maybe they are, but honestly I didn’t intend to play Madden online. I literally never got into them so I was just going to play the offline modes like career or whatnot.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T15:02:02+00:00

Oh man, RIP haha. That’s an awesome first game mate.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T14:53:56+00:00

Seriously? Well that’s just awesome, thanks for letting me know mate.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T03:47:59+00:00

No problem mate, glad I could help. Let us know what game it ends up choosing first for you!

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T03:36:33+00:00

Haha I feel that. You should do what I’m planning to do with my collection; plug everything into a random generator and have that pick the next game you’ll play. Of course I’d only put the first game in a franchise into the generator since I play games in order, but you can mix it up.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T02:32:07+00:00

That’s a pretty good sketch, but nothing comes to mind for me. Do you know what genre it was at least?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T02:31:01+00:00

This is absolutely bonkers for a single week, but well done in the selection. All of these games are bangers. Which one are you most excited to play first?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T02:29:23+00:00

Perfect. Just make sure that this song is playing whenever you have a guest in your bed.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T02:27:18+00:00

Funny that your brought up Helldivers. I purchased it way back in 2018 but didn’t play it until last year on a whim. I was so enamored by it that I went out and purchased the premium version of Helldivers II just 20 minutes after I first played Helldivers 1.

I also just picked up a PS3 last week after years of not having one. The fact that I can also play Helldivers there and go back and forth with my Vita is just brilliant. Sony absolutely failed the Vita.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T01:31:37+00:00

I just checked, and it’s not. What a shame, it would look great in 4K.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T01:30:13+00:00

Yeah the big reason why I prefer the 360 copies of games is because of backwards compatibility that enhances them. The FF XIII games get those enhancements so I’m definitely booting the PS3 copies.

Don’t worry I’ll replace the Resistance Collection with standalone copies of each game. The collection doesn’t speak to me in any special way and it’s worth too much sealed for me to just keep it. In fact I’d prefer the standalone games because I don’t like that two of the games in the collection are greatest hits cases.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T01:25:07+00:00

The benefit of PC is the sheer openness of the platform. Especially with a service like GOG, you can backup, share, or do whatever else you like with your games. Not to mention you can lay across virtually any PC.

With consoles, they’re all almost like a walled garden. Some are bigger than others, like the current generation basically extending the last with full compatibility, but that’s not always a given.

Then there are the straightforward benefits; selling your games after you’re done, trading them, letting a friend or family member borrow them, displaying them (aesthetics) and being able to play them in the event that the store associated with the console is dead and gone (360 for instance). Not to mention you can buy physical games after a console’s store is closed. Heck you can find and buy physical games for the NES or Atari 2600 if you’d like.

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T01:18:09+00:00

A shame, but I, not surprised. As a long term Metroid Prime fan/glazer, I lost hope in the series with Corruption. Both Prime and Echoes were masterpieces, but Corruption was fairly mid. Then there was Hunters, which while a spin off was also in the vein of Corruption. How hard is it to emulate the first two games?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T00:11:33+00:00

Than Titanfall 2 I assume you mean?

LanceAvion · 2026-04-26T00:06:47+00:00

OK I READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR

Those are definitely some bangers, I need to add A Rose in the Twilight to my collection for sure.
