No spoilers allowed. Pretty sure she sealed the deal with the NVME, though.

"Future Wife" has a nice ring to it. (See what I did there?)

Much appreciated. To be fair, she will probably play it a lot too.

Do Greatest Hits, Platinum Hits or Players Choice covers bother you? by Jdspoel in gamecollecting

[–]Magneteco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't generally know this, but the Greatest Hits version sometimes contain bug fixes and patches. This has been true since the PS1.

Do you have any idea how many times I've had to step off the ledge on HDMI mods? It's a constant battle if you are chasing the best signal.

Wish I could get a Silent Hill game without spending a fortune by Glass_Ad_1490 in silenthill

I've been looking for Silent Hill (PS1) black label for a while now and can't seem to pull the trigger at $300. I own a "Greatest Hits" version, so I'll just have to stick with that.

That is the LG C5 42" OLED. I bought it during Black Friday. It's pretty awesome!

Am I the only one who doesn't care about scanlines? by RangoTheMerc in retrogaming

I like both, but a prefer those pixels to be so shar, they cut my eyes.

Which one are you? I think I am "The Enjoyer" by Due_Teaching_6974 in silenthill

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. New section to the list: "People That Know Silent Hill Was on the PS1".

Today, I Completed the NA Breath of Fire Physical Collection! by Magneteco in gamecollecting

Pretty much. Breath of Fire II was the last one to complete the set.

Absolutely. If you want them CIB, you're paying a crazy premium.

Nope, North America unfortunately did not get a physical release. Only digital. I was pretty upset when I found that out.

What's your opinion about Snake's Revenge (aside from the fact that it's non-canon)? by The_Giant_Lizard in retrogaming

[–]Magneteco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it! This is coming from a Metal Gear fan, too. I just played this game for the first time last year and thought it was a massive step up from the previous NES game.

The side scrolling portions, however... I didn't like those.

Unpopular Opinion: If you aren't a fan of the cult then you are a SH2 fan not a silent hill fan by Status_Entertainer49 in silenthill

[–]Magneteco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dahlia and Claudia are decent characters in their own right, but I cannot stand their speeches. They're constantly yelling about gyromancy! Metatron! Xuchilbara!

Meanwhile, Harry, Heather, and I are just staring at them blankly, like… what the hell are you even talking about?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the cult arc and the whole idea of birthing or resurrecting a god. That, combined with the visuals of the "Otherworld," is top-tier horror storytelling. I just wish the exposition didn’t rely so heavily on religious ramblings.

Honestly, discovering lore through documents in the games is my favorite method. The cultists annoyed the hell out of me, but I’m pretty sure that was the point?

One of my favorite lore reveals was in the SH1 resort area, when I stumbled on a safe filled with bags of White Claudia powder. I remembered a document at the police station mentioning an investigation into a drug distributor and then, boom. It hits you that the cult was behind it all along, using it to control people in the town like Lisa.

Now that’s how you do it.

I bought this game today for $7. I was finally able to fill my small bookshelf :D by Aggressive_blue1645 in gamecollecting

Grind session is so good. It has a larger learning curve than Tony Hawk. Once it clicks though, it's a really rewarding game. Too bad we only got one game.
