Gotta be FF XIV (PS4). Tried to get into it so many times but I find it so frustrating to play. Oh, and Elite Dangerous (PS4). I’m either completely lost in space or crashing continually into a space station. Two games I love the look of but just can’t get to work for me.
Edit: Also, The Sentinel (ZX Spectrum), Knights Into Knightmare (DS), Pokemon Conquest (DS).
Alien Soldier: The run-'n'-gun action here is fast and, indeed, furious, so if that sounds like your bag then Alien Soldier could be the game for you. Given the similarities to Treasure’s own Gunstar Heroes, however, this sort of falls short, mainly because the platforming elements are simply not as good. It is also frustratingly difficult at times as well, which may put some people off. Still, this is an enjoyable action game in its own right and well worth a look if you're after a little Treasure
This, is placed higher than Sonic The Hedgehog. 🤦🏻♂️
@Quarth
I’m in postgame and I’ve had at least 7 or 8 complete crashes, usually around raid battles. I wonder if it’s due to length of time played or if the games saved on an SD card. It’s pretty weird.
I’m having fun but….
Egg hatching is terrible.
Actually seeing small Pokémon is hard, good luck spotting a shiny.
The elite four gym is a joke, like, I was expecting an in story reason why it’s so bad.
Online raid lobby is still a mess, probably worse than SwSh if that’s possible.
Having to wear the school uniform sucks.
Speaking of, the creepy school nurse can do one.
Sandwiches can also do one.
People saying we won’t get a patch, we will get DLC, so there is hope. 🤞🏻
@ArcticEcho The school thing didn’t appeal and as you say it was the thing that people liked most about the game. I like the battles and I heard that was the weakest part.
I’d really like FF Tactics Advance to get a port to Switch that’d be amazing.
Hopefully they can patch this up to alleviate the problems a bit.
IGN’s review in progress is scathing of the technical problems too.
My copy is ordered and I’ll spend 100’s of hours playing VGC which better run well.
I’d love if the next Pokémon game was back to 2D, B&W style. Incorporating past regions while still having raids and VGC. That’d be amazing!
@PeteW
I’ve got the NES, SNES and Mega Drive minis so off the top of my head:
Many games play way better using the controllers they were originally built around.
You can hack them easily putting whatever games you want on them!
They’re small, durable and therefore more portable than say a PS4 or the Switch dock.
Nintendo handle the emulation or M2 for SEGA which is fantastic.
They’re relatively cheap seeing as you can play 100’s of the best games ever made until you keel over.
The minis look great under the telly.
@Fizza I didn’t see the content but I’m guessing it wasn’t disgusting. Far from it. However, definitely not appropriate when there will be children watching.

I went to a VGC event in French Perth and got like a gazillion hits. It was awesome, and I completed the sword and sorcery game.
The airport was always a good place to get international pings too.

Do the Pokémon still appear in the boxes one at a time? That’s really annoying. And the raids are a mess also, hope that better too.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 26th)
Pokemon Scarlet. Having a great time despite the game feeling at least 6 months away from being fit for release. 4 hard crashes so far.
Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds

Lol, unless you have a 4k OLED television you will see no difference except the game runs smoother, lol.
Re: Pokémon Fans Vent Frustrations Online About Scarlet & Violet's Technical Issues
Change your television setting in switch from automatic to 720, this’ll smooth things out significantly while playing on the telly.
