I assume it doesn’t work anymore. But you would set your PSP to ad-hoc, go into ad-hoc party on your PS3, find someone in a lobby with your game, and your PSP would act as if it found a local connection.

I’ve been wanting to play Dissidia over ad-hoc between my Vita and Vita TV. Did you ever play online using the PS3’s ad-hoc party?

I got a Vita TV recently and hacked it to put a larger memory card into it. I’ve been using it as a small PS1.

I didn’t really want to hack it with emulators because it’s extra work and their actual PS1 catalog is quite expensive. But a few games that I own physically were never made available. Or in a couple cases, the digital games were blocked from Vitas for some reason.

Wandering around in Morrowind before I really knew what I was doing, being happy just to find a few coins in a tree stump or a crappy dagger.

Other games have given more extreme emotions. But no other game has instilled such a joyous sense of wonder.

I met my wife playing Rock Band. It was definitely a top gaming moment. But I didn’t realize at the time what it would lead to eventually.

Secondary games are also my main. Rogue Legacy 1 & 2, Loco Roco, old Final Fantasy games, Spyro.

I need to have the energy and time to dig into a main game, and I usually do not have that after a long day when everyone else goes to sleep.

I love the inFamous games. inFamous 2 in particular is in my top 5. I’m trying to remember some of the choices, but some of them are execute the mass murderer or not in one (or multiple) cases. But also, they have a variation of the trolley problem which I thought was a nice touch. The ultimate decision in 2 is pretty extreme, but it’s also the culmination of two games worth of selfish vs selfless decisions.

The biggest morality question though is whether to use area of effect vs precision damage.

Having said that, I think it’s interesting how these two games are so similar on a surface level. But in my experience, most people heavily prefer one or the other. I remember my friend and I were each obsessed with one of the two franchises when they came out, but neither of us were interested in the other.

Side note: inFamous 2 had a standalone DLC which just used the map from 2 with an entirely new powerset, and it was awesome. But it was a lot shorter than a full game. However, I remember losing interest in Bioshock 2 because it felt like I was just replaying the first game.

Technically ∞ Loop on my phone. But the last real game I was playing was Jade Cocoon.

I have zero problem with consoles investing in new IPs and funding high budget games as console sellers.

But I don’t like these buyouts or pointless exclusives. I don’t know why there are still exclusive Final Fantasy games.

I got my Xbox Series to play Fable. It also doubles as an extra Halo machine for Lan parties. But it was really for Fable.

Still waiting, but it’s supposed to finally come out next year I believe.

I was on board with PS5 immediately with Ratchet & Clank and I’ve been pretty happy with it.

Do you mean that Sackboy was relatively grounded compared to Astrobot or are thinking of Little Big Planet?

Either way, it sounds like I need to play Astrobot.

How does it compare to something like Sackboy?

Damn, is this game that good?

I kind of love the early game. If I see a particularly difficult room, usually it’s a treasure room and you can back out or take the challenge. The two real objectives are get gold or kill a boss.

RL2 feels a lot bigger and more dependent on longer marathon runs and more strategic builds. For me it’s still a lot of fun, but not nearly the same cozy feel. Plus there are other challenges that seem mandatory for progression. Having said that, I have not touched the difficulty sliders.

I’m going to give a possibly controversial opinion. But my favorite casual game to play is Rogue Legacy.

If you accept that you know you’ll die a lot, it’s a lot less stressful. Outside of that, it’s extremely player friendly. It’s not too complicated. There’s progression. You have runs that end and give you a place to stop. You can turn it off anytime without needing to worry too much about losing progress. It has platforming.

Holy crap, I thought you were joking. Yeah, it’s Among Us.

Fine, I’ll play them.

I love the Morrowind recommendation. Also, unlikely suggestion, but I had to get a pen and paper for The Great Crystal dungeon on Final Fantasy XII.

From the sound of it, it will just use PS5 OS. So probably not. But every system after PS1 other than the PS4 has had some sort of backwards compatibility.

If it’s backwards compatible with PSP, Vita, PS1, then I’m down. Otherwise, meh.
