Zoomers born after 1995 don't appreciate older games… all they know is travis scott, charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie
My nephews, born in the 2000s, do. I bought my oldest nephew Chrono Trigger on the DS years ago. He has a good appreciation for the classics.
I have roommates and my PlayStation is usually hooked up to the living room TV. Can I get a second Playstation to put in my bedroom for when they are using the living room TV and sync up play of the same games I'm playing on living room one? (play game on living room ps4 and continue playing on bedroom ps4)
You can do this with the cloud saves in PS+ - you just need to make sure that you upload them when you're finished on one then download them when you start on the other (it can upload automatically, but it's not super frequent so I would do it manually to make sure you're always running the latest save).
I would imagine you can do it without PS+ too - doing the same thing but copying the saves to a USB drive instead.
I can't believe it. If you're uploading your Save files to cloud from the settings-PS4 then you can't multitask other things on your console ?
This can't be right. This isn't 2005.

is there any chance of a Bloodborne remaster on PS5? I'm at Throne of Want in Dark Souls II SoTFS, gonna do platinum trophy run and complete DLC. I have regained my Souls intch after years and I really want to play the games in order.
I just booted Bloodborne up and I remember why I wasn't an instant fan. the game feels like it runs at something far less than 30fps, colours are washed out and some how it looks "fuzzy" and "hazy". idk performance clearly isnt great. is there any chance of a proper remaster?

I guess because they used GTA III as a base instead of building a new game from the ground up. Much like Zelda Majora's Mask builds off of Ocarina of Time.
Don't know if stupid enough, but why are my Windows Game Pass downloads soo slow? I currently have a 175 Mbps connection and my download speeds seem to hover between 4 - 6 MB/s while Steam easily hits my max download speeds (~20-22 MB/s)
Yes and no. It can become complicated without certain titles like Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep in particular. If you're pressed for time I'd at least YouTube the cutscenes from the other games but you will definitely be lost if you just play the numbered ones (BBS was initially going to be called Kingdom Hearts 0 which shows its significance).
Does the Switch system come precharged at all? I'm getting the AC Switch after trading in my base model, but I'm working late that day. I want to try install AC on it before I get home which will be a challenge enough with poor WiFi there (I'm going to try use my phone's 4G signal as a hotspot instead although that'll probably be awful too) but I don't think I have anywhere I can safely charge it.
It should have some charge as sending a system out completely uncharged would be unhealthy for the battery.
Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance are kinda essential to "getting" KH3, so it's worth playing those. Chain of Memories is more of a "maybe", it's important but in a weird way. I personally didn't play it until I started replaying the series in anticipation of 3, but I watched key cutscenes. And the rest of the games are covered by the cutscene compilations that aren't that long (prepare to be bored by Re:Coded though).
Either way I wouldn't expect to get close to finishing 'em up before next month, unless you're very quick. I'd just go slow and gradual at this point, it'll probably be a long while before the next big KH thing releases after all
Ok, so I'll play them after may, don't want rush anything. Thanks!
What exactly was the point of this thing? The only time I've had an Xbox controller mess up was this stupid connector's fault and I've heard arguments that it prevents damage or something but the force to disconnect seems just as high as a USB (confirmed by my tripping on it before)
I've been working on games I've beaten over the years, do large story dlc / expansions that are beaten count as a "new game" to the list or would it just fall under the umbrella of that said game
For example:
For example:
What's the context for this - where will you be using the list?
I'm fairly sure that that should do the job. Remove the SD card too, of course.
Just a personal list to keep going forward and look back on.

Yeah it's supposed to be a breakaway cable so if you trip over it it will unplug and not have the xbox come crashing down. Mine was pretty loose from what I remember.
In that case, it has to come down just to what you feel most comfortable with; no-one's going to be judging you either way.
After a few months of use, I finally realized my monitor settings in Windows was at 59 Hz for my 120 Hz display. Have I been running games at 60 this entire time, or did that setting just affect normal desktop apps?
Quite some games are able to change the refresh-rate by themselves but it really depends on if they automatically set it to the highest available or not.
My Xbox One X refuses to display HDR on my TV anymore. It used to display the HDR fine, but the console hard locked one evening and ever since, going into the display settings tell me that my tv isn't "HDR10 compatible" despite working on the Xbox before, and working on my PS4 now. Has anyone run into this issue, and know how to solve it? Any insight would be appreciated as it is driving me crazy. I tried switching HDMI cables, fully shutting down both the TV and the Xbox, I haven't tried factory reseting the TV or Xbox as that is such a hassle for something that may not work. I have a TCL 4K TV, just in case that info is important.
Extra Battle, Fighting Chance
I don't think CE includes the costumes/colours you can get from those modes.
What happened to "The Last Night"?
Since we are approaching E3 I have always wondered what happened to this game? It was my favourite showing in 2017 due to the Blade Runner schematics but there has been absolutely no news at all about it. Was it canned? I sure hope not.

What happened to The Last Night by Odd Tales?
Update: it seems that the creative director of the game spread misogyny and regressive views which resultaten in a media backlash and the gaming community turning on the project (which apparently used these views as a central part of the story) and him. Please do your own due diligence before...

Will we see The Last Night in 2020?
This game caught my eye ever since it's first trailer during E3 a few years ago, mostly because of the Blade Runner vibe. I know they have had a lot attention since but I wonder what's going on? I haven't heard or read anything about it for ages. E3 2017 trailer below: Do you think we'll see...

I didn't think to do a search until after I posted 😅 Thanks, though!
Should i get a pc or gAmEr laptop. I'd normally just get a PC but:
- Living situation is semi-temporary and moving with PC / monitor (or just selling them) after a year or two sounds annoying
- Would have to buy a new chair as well, then deal again just sell it after a short while
- Can't play controller games in bed....

Us, children of the 70s and 80s, were better trained for that kind of challenge.
You do so by being 8 and it being the only new game you'll get until your next birthday or Christmas.
Because you treated it in awe like people treat AAA games today
Can someone explain to me how sharing a game on two different Switch systems between 2 different profiles works? I swear I've asked this a few times in the Animal Crossing thread and still can't get my head around it for some reason. I get how it works, the person that buys a game can use it freely on any system, and only on the system that is their primary Switch can others use it freely. But if the owner uses a game on their non primary Switch (in this case AC), can someone on the owners primary console play AC at the same time or can that title only be played by one person at a time?
play it over and over for hours until you almost memorize the game's code
I'm getting Assassin's Creed Origins. Is there anything amazing in the deluxe or gold packs (DLC)? Or is the standard version preferred?
The extra DLC? Dunno how else to answer you without sounding super obvious. I liked the Pharaoh DLC, they're more fantastical than the base game, which i enjoyed greatly. Hidden Ones was okay i guess. Unless its really cheaper and you could use the extra money or you just want to blast through the game id say get the version with the two big dlc packs. The other aesthetic/weaponry based dlc is nice but not really needed

I use this to play Clone Hero, a lot of xbox 360 guitars need this to work on PC.
The standard is 20 and the gold is 30. Still worth it for 1/3 more?
So I ran my hard drive visualizer today to clear some space and found this subset of installed steam games separate from others, even on the same drive.
The thing is that according to Steam almost non of these games are currently installed, except Mad Max which actually has two complete installs. The subset is under the directory SteamLibrary D which is under SteamLibrary, where most of the games are held, except a few titles installed on my SSD, my C drive. I feel like a dummy, why are these games not showing up as installed and just sitting there taking up space?

Origins was revelatory for me.
Core game should be enough, but for just $10 I would get the Gold version...
For those who pre-ordered games on GMG, how good are they at getting the key to you before launch day? I want to buy RE3, but I want to make sure I can pre-load the game in time for launch.
They are usually pretty good with getting game keys a couple days before launch for major release , but it isn't necessarily a guarantee 100% that you will. Doom Eternal was fine for me.

Steam doesn't look at the game folders to determine if a game is installed or not, inside the Steam library folders there are a ton of tiny appmanifest_[GAMEID].acf manifest files that tell Steam "This game is installed here!". It looks like in your case these files got somehow deleted but the actual game folders didn't. You can safely delete the folders manually to clear up the space, or if you want to install them again just let Steam install them to this library folder, it will notice: "Oh the game-files are here already!" and then restore the .acf manifest file.
One important thing to note, always make sure that no .acf manifest exists in two Steam Library folders at the same time or Steam will get confused.
