Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

@Genrou if you can find a copy cheap it's well worth a play

Not a purchase (I wish), but this has recently turned up in my local shopping centre 🤘🏽🤘🏽

@KratosMD I just meant Warhammer in general.
I like most of it. Was in to the table top stuff as a kid and some of the games are great, and there are very, many games!

@KratosMD the scale of the game is slightly misleading apart from when you encounter the odd regular human.
The Space Marines are generally over 7 foot tall genetically engineered hulks; built to be interfaced with the armour. Of you think less 'guys in suits' to cybernetic killing machines, it makes more sense 😊

@RogerRoger I loved Jedi Knight until it randomly deleted my save file after the bloody invisible boss. It’s a great game though, I’ll go back to it at some point when I stop being traumatised 😂😂

@RogerRoger It was the brothers and it took me ages to kill them so I just wanted to cry in a corner. It’s not that far into the game but there were a few nasty levels beforehand.

I just went and bought myself the 360 version of bully. Really enjoying gta4 at the minute and have max payne 3 to play in a rockstar retro binge! Dont know when I'll get to play them though, life is pretty mad!

Non PS4 games, eh ?

Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction PS3
Ratchet & Clank: QForce PS3

@KratosMD Mirror’s Edge is fantastic, I really hope you enjoy your time with it. As you said, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s not too long either.

@KratosMD Second the praise for Mirror's Edge. It's one of the best titles of the 360/PS3 era. Such a unique game with a great visual style and tight level design. I love that it's short enough to be completed in a single sitting.

Oh man, Mount and Blade 2 is finally here. I've been waiting literally 8 years for this moment, it's downloading now!

@KratosMD Mirror's Edge - such a great choice. Not too heavy, but also stylistically pleasing.

So I've started collecting for the Saturn and this week completed my Panzer Dragoon collection for it. That's just one copy of Saga (and its demo) with a spare repro slip case but yeah that is by far the most expensive game I own and really good fun from the first couple of hours

@RogerRoger @KratosMD If you have a PS2 or Cube, Nightfire is the best Bond game other than Goldeneye. Actually, there’s a Goldeneye remake I played to death on last-gen consoles too.

@KratosMD Yep it’s on Xbox too. I just haven’t ever seen anyone with an original Xbox, they weren’t popular at all when I was younger!

@carlos82 Very cool grab! I shudder to think about how much you paid for it, though.

Always wanted to play this. I kind of wish this had been remastered on Switch as opposed to the hour-long rail shooter.

@Ralizah there's no easy way to say this, Saga cost me £350. Working from home is saving me quite a bit from fuel costs and childcare so I thought I'd get it when I had the chance. Gonna focus on cheaper games now though.

Game is great so far, all characters have fully voiced dialogue and the battle system is a cross between Final Fantasy's ATB system and Panzer Dragoon rail shooting where instead of rotating the camera you circle the enemy between 4 quadrants to expose weaknesses and avoid attacks

Not a game but picked up this wireless controller from Retro Bit. I've tested it on my Saturn and Switch playing various games from Street Fighter Alpha 2 to Mario Kart 8 and it's been fantastic, the dpad in particular is better than anything I've tried on the Switch and I even played Doom 64 with L and R strafing. Great pad and it works on the Megadrive mini and PS3 as well

@RogerRoger Shame you managed to miss out on Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 which is about the only good one!

@RogerRoger I should probably read posts in their entirety really..
