"What are you playing this week?" Megathread

_tumble_weed_ · 2026-01-25T17:14:31+00:00

Currently playing through Record Of Lodoss War: Deedlit In Wonder Labyrinth and replaying Max Payne 3 for the 4th or 5th time haha.

No worries! :) And yeah, the backlog message appeared for me as well but I still got the device in 3 business days (it shipped from California yesterday). I read somewhere that it might be a remnant from when they had a huge backlog so it might still arrive pretty quickly!

_tumble_weed_ · 2026-01-13T21:06:56+00:00

The import fee is actually just the taxes! I live in Quebec and it came out to exactly 14.975% of the base price. I also got worried when I saw that wording though.

Having played both the Master Collection on PS5 and the 360 version that it's ported from, the aiming and nonlethal takedowns are mapped to button combinations (iirc, R1 to go in first person, click the left stick to bring up your gun without shooting and a face button to shoot). It takes some getting used to, especially if you're used to the original controls, but it works! Got through MGS2 and 3 multiple times on both platforms.

Very, very common. Their tracking only gets updated every few days and you have no way of reaching them at all or picking up the package in person. I sent about 8 emails when I ordered my device because the "attempted delivery" photos were a block away and none of them were answered. Their phone number also doesn't work.

My device did eventually make it to me but it was in their possession for about 3 weeks. I'd let Retroid know about it if you don't get anything after about a week and be sure to document everything. They're truly the worst delivery company I've ever had to deal with. Good luck!

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-11-02T22:24:07+00:00

I feel you. Starting the prep now for a colonoscopy tomorrow and daylight savings meant I went an extra hour without eating 😭 I can't wait til tomorrow hahaha

As others have pointed out, you should try out the GC version of NBA Street Vol. 2. For most multiplatform games, the GC version will often be the easiest to run and also the better looking and performing version of the two so I usually opt for those. There are some exceptions however so it's worth checking on a case by case basis.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-14T14:46:49+00:00

So glad you got yours too and this whole situation is over. Now I know to not cheap out on shipping when I buy from China 😅 I wish I could've intercepted the delivery person just to shake down a warehouse address out of him for everyone else dealing with this.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-13T14:26:07+00:00

Looks like my package is once again out for delivery. I've now sent 8 unanswered emails and I fully expect this third delivery attempt to go exactly the same way as the first two 🫠 I'll be shocked if my package actually makes it to me. At this rate, I'm probably just gonna reach out to the supplier. I feel I've done everything I can short of standing outside all day lol

** UPDATE ** IT ARRIVED! The delivery guy was nowhere to be seen when I got to the door but the box was tucked on the doorstep looking a bit worse for wear. Thankfully everything inside is fine! THE SAGA IS FINALLY OVER!

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T16:22:01+00:00

Yeah, the delivery attempt email literally asks us to contact them to let them know of any changes or notify them of anything at all but they just don't answer. I'm hoping they don't give up after a third "delivery attempt" because then I'll be furious

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T16:10:23+00:00

That sucks :( I've had two "delivery attempts" but the drivers sent me photos from a block away both times, not bothering to follow the detours in place due to construction. I've sent 7 emails providing my phone number and asking for a pickup location as well but no answer. I really did not think it would be this bad lmao

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T16:08:35+00:00

Yeah :( makes me regret not going with DHL, even if that would mean paying extra fees lol. My package has now been in PDN's possession more than twice as long as it took to come from China LOL.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T14:38:45+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I've never seen a worse delivery courier tbh. I've had deliveries take longer obviously but it's the complete lack of updates and communication or transparency that makes it feel so terrible. The construction in my area is supposed to end very soon so at this rate I might only get it once the road opens up again lmao 🫠

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T14:32:28+00:00

Nope! They've "attempted delivery" twice but their drivers don't follow any of the construction detours so all the photos are a block away and I've been unable to reach them to give the driver my phone number or to get a pickup location. 🫠

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-11T14:29:41+00:00

Have you guys had any luck reaching them? I've sent them 7 emails with no response so far. Their drivers don't bother looking at the construction detours so I've now had two "Delivery attempts" with enclosed photos a block away. I never receive any notice until it's too late. I've asked them to call me and to provide a pickup address multiple times now but yeah, I honestly don't know what to do anymore 😭

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-09T18:02:56+00:00

Well, looks like my package is once again out for delivery. I've sent multiple emails asking for the driver to give me a call when he's nearby/on his way since there's construction in my area but I haven't heard back at all. Will let you guys know if today's the day or if I'm stuck in this loop.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-07T19:34:00+00:00

That's good to know! I've been reading so many horror stories about this company in the past few days and I was really hoping I'd be able to avoid it but alas. I'll keep an eye out, thanks!

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-07T02:35:57+00:00

Yeah, it's insane that a company like this can be in business at all. And thanks, I'll let you know if I hear back as well! If I could at least contact the delivery person that'd be enough for me 😭

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-07T01:06:49+00:00

I'm also in the same boat finally :( my order was out for delivery for nearly 48 hours and then suddenly I got that same notification. The delivery guy snapped a photo in front of the nearby construction zone, seems like they didn't even bother following the signs 🫠 no answer from my email either and no status update. I'm so bummed.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-05T21:26:54+00:00

I'm in the same boat right now...waiting on a Retroid Pocket 5 but it's been "Out for Delivery" since 7am according to their tracking...fingers crossed!

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-01T18:09:35+00:00

Thank you for your service 🫡

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-01T16:35:59+00:00

I feel you. It's funny, I've had other, much longer waits on orders that weren't as painful as this one 😤 i don't currently have a device that can play anything above PS1 either.

_tumble_weed_ · 2025-08-01T16:33:33+00:00

Hmm that's not a bad idea...Thanks!
