Are you sure about this? What's the source? Everything I've seen indicates the IP is dead but I would love to be wrong.
You're right, one of the previously mentioned dataminers found "proof" but respawn did comment to say it wasn't true so I don't know. But they're not forced to only do Apex, if that was the case EA wouldn't have had to create a whole separate studio within respawn for just Apex.

Can someone recommend a good YouTube tutorial for setting up Retroarch on the Series X? I also heard that you can even get it to run in retail mode, is that true?

Should I get the Nier Replicant remaster on PC or do you all think it'll run ok on my One S?

What are your PC’s specs?

It should be mostly fine on the One S, Nier Automata was, but it’ll run at about 900p.

You might want to wait for hands-on reviews before you decide, apparently the PC port of Automata is a bit of a mess. Lots of issues that the community fixed with mods.

It's a modest gaming PC I put together several months ago using older/used parts: Core i7-4770, 16GB DDR3, and GTX 1660 Ti. I'm sure Replicant will run fine on it, but I'm wary of getting it for PC considering how Nier Automata's PC port wasn't so great from what I understand. Not really concerned with One S resolution tbh; Nier Automata ran/looked well enough for me on my One S connected to a 1080p FreeSync display with VRR. I'm just concerned about framerate because Replicant sorta looks more graphically robust than Automata.

Right, yeah. That was my primary reason for probing the thread to see what goons would suggest. I suppose I'll hold out until hopefully someone like the DF folk take a look at the game's port performance.

Switch got an updated version of Crimzon Clover and they never released it as DLC or anything on Steam and I'm pretty bummed about it.

Also being a shmup fan both rules and also really sucks at the same time :smith:

Yea, I have it in retail mode. Find Dom's Discord Server. You can get whitelisted for retail there and they have videos on set up. The setup imo was kinda confusing but once everything is in place its very easy.

Anyone playing home front 2? Been digging into it, and it's funny to see some consensus that it sucks when it's really just a truly open world half life 2 with actual gunplay. It's a little harder than a normal shooter, ttk is a little low, but it's still pretty decent for $6.

Its got a working (albeit buggy) complete port of Time Splitters 2 in it, so for 6 bucks its a steal.

As for homefront 2 itself it was, eh 6 bucks is right. It wasn't bad but it just didn't keep me motivated to keep playing so I fell off

Do you like Ubisoft style of games? If not, then hard no. Not sure how active Div1 still is. Watch_Dogs I don't think is very good at all.

The Division is a looter shooter so if you like them you'll probably enjoy it. I got bored before the level cap which is "where the real game starts" but like you couldn't pay me to care.

Watch_Dogs is a game about hacking where 90%+ of your problems are solved by hacking people's faces with bullets but for whatever reason (I think its the extremely low ttk on enemies) blowing them away is surprisingly satisfying. The best part of the game though is how extremely ludicrously obvious the story re-write was and it sucks because playing as a rage-addled dead-beat dad would have been way more intriguing than the weirdest non-pervy uncle in gaming. I did finish this one.

The more arcadey they are, the better though. Games like NFL Blitz and Hot Shots Golf are amazing. I still love playing Pebble Beach Golf on Saturn or Neo Turf Masters, which is awesome on the Switch. I kind of want to give Super Mega Baseball a shot, it looks like it might be a lot of fun.

The game even at a fairly normal difficulty does a really good job simulating how hard it is to hit a baseball so prepare yourself for that.

W_D2 is far better than the first. You can play it guns blazing or stealthy hack puzzles like a Hitman game. W_D3 is all right, too.

I have a Series S on the way from Wal-Mart. I basically haven't played a new game since The Witcher 3 that wasn't a Switch exclusive.

What should I play?

I got the Yakuza series lined up. But what else?

Just get games pass ultimate and throw poo poo at the wall, till you find something you like. It’s an amazing service.

Yeah get Game Pass Ultimate. Don't play all of the Yakuza games at once by the way. They are all good, but the series is massive.

Fair advice regarding Yakuza. 6 games at once is usually a lot.

Yeah game pass seems pretty nuce. I also like that Microsoft actually seems to support its old catalog so it looks as if I can buy some 360 and original Xbox games if I am not mistaken?


What I am trying to confirm is that I can buy Blue Dragon still?!
