None. When I play a game from past generations, I do not try to find ways it does not hold up. It is actually better that was because you can experience the control schemes or saving methods from that era.
When I see the words "We made it for modern audience/gamers" I want to punch those people in the face really hard, then again, and again ... oh and again.
And for side activities, if the Elden Ring releases me from its grip for a second, are DooM Eternal on the Switch and Castlevania Order of Ecclesia! (DAMN I want a Castlevania DS Collection for modern consoles!!!)
After the challenging Hollow Knight, I will relax with some mayhem in GTA V.
And on the side, I will start a second playthrough of Link's Awakening Remake and I will make some progress in Link Between Worlds!
My copy of Shadow of the Erdtree will come next week and I will start a fresh NEW journey in Elden Ring on PS5, so small game sessions with the games above will give me some good vibes before the carnage
Happy gaming everyone!!!
UPDATE!!!
My copy arrived EARLY just now (2 minutes ago) before posting! Mmmmmmm
@Rpg-lover Today I beat the broken vessel (i think that was its name). And my last boss was Nosk (again I think that is the name). Now I am gathering geo to get my 3rd nail upgrade.
I am really into Hollow Knight. It will be my main focus! Currently I am exploring the Royal Waterways (beat the Dung Defender) after being in the Crystal Peak. I also have the Tram ticket from Deepnest. Really awesome game!
In the meantime, I will play some Castlevania III Dracula's Curse, damn it is a hard game! And maybe I will wander around aimlessly in Morrowind and Johto (Pokemon Heartgold).
This weekend I will finally try out Baldur's Gate 3. I think I will start with a dwarf
On the side I am trying to finish The Outer Worlds on the Switch JUST from the cartridge to be 100% sure that the game is playable from start to finish without any updates (even if there is "internet required" on the front of the box!). Currenly somewhere in the middle of the game (I have to find some chemicals for Phineas)
I will start my Claire A - Leon B run of Resident Evil 2
And If I find some time I will chip away some chapters in Half-Life 2.
I finished the main story in Skyrim and now I am starting Dawnguard. I have played it before but only once and now I have craving for beating Bethesda games!
I will also start Oblivion. I have never played more than an hour of the game so it will be exciting!
And for chilling I will play Symphony of the Night and Link Between Worlds
I for one like LRG. If there is a way to get a physical edition of a good game and they are the only ones making it, I do not see the problem. Yes, you wait for very long times, yes, it is expensive but that is a "luxury" item nowadays.
Nobody is forcing people to buy from them. Just enjoy your digital version.
This weekend will be awesome!
I have advanced a little in Fallout New Vegas and I've started doing quests for Mr. House.
I have craving for some Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This will be my second run
And finally I got my Castlevania Advance Collection for the Switch ... it is perfect! Even for a 100th time it never get's old! Castlevania is THE BEST thing to happen in the gaming world!
My storage solution is working for now. Those are all of my Switch games and my main modern consoles. The retro consoles are on the other side of this cabinet.
1. With the PS5 update I have started a new Fallout 4 run (AGAIN!) and I just saved Nick Valentine. 2. I am continuing to advance in Serious Sam The Second Encounter. 3. Some casual play in Castlevania Portrait of Ruin 4. And a little Link to the Past
Fallout 4 - more aimless wandering in the Commonwealth. Resident Evil Revelations 2 - this time on the PS Vita. Currently I am on chapter 1 of the Barry storyline. Half-Life 2 - started a new game with the intention to make a full screenshot journey of my playthrough. Machinarium - I really like the art style of that game! Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist - I will advance a couple of "episodes" in the storyline! Currently I am on season 2.
I will continue my playthrough of Clive Barker's Undying on the Steam Deck.
I will FINALLY start Baldur's Gate 1!
And for some casual fun I will swing around the city in Spider-Man 2. Even if it is all covered in symbiote sludge it looks safer than its real counterpart
I am sure that they will try to make a handheld that asks you to submit your government ID and fingerprints to make a special account otherwise you can't go to the dashboard
After the Xbox 360 their motto became "Let's make it like the others BUT worse!"
I got my Switch for my birthday in September 2017. Still running like it is new.
Fantastic device and I LOVE that they went with cards even if some games are not fully on them. All of my collection is perfectly playable from the physical media and I LOVE it!
@imadeanaccount recently I finished Castlevania Lords of Shadow on the Steam Deck and beat Aria, Harmony and Circle 100% on the PS4 so I am taking a little break

@Diogmites Old but awesome game! Especially when you get a new weapon for your class and start to practice its unique combo moves

@Tasuki Yes, unfortunately. You can go the emulation route and I will not judge you

Re: Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition Finally Lands On Switch Next Week
@PikaPhantom Well they are the ones bringing the physical copy of the game because Ubi do not care to do it themselves.

Fallout 3 and separately New Vegas. I will buy them in a heartbeat if they are proper physical releases like Skyrim.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Perfect Sunday Morning Game?
@Arcata The DS games are not in any collection for now. I am hoping this year Konami changes this
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th March)
More Resident Evil 3 Nemesis!
RDR2 in First Person View
Alien Isolation for some "chill" time
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's New Update Adds The Kameo Fighter Janet Cage
Atrocious design ... the best thing is that she is a cameo.
Re: Rumour: Xbox May Be About To Join The Switch In The Handheld Space
I am sure that they will try to make a handheld that asks you to submit your government ID and fingerprints to make a special account otherwise you can't go to the dashboard

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Perfect Sunday Morning Game?
@Arcata I have all of them and I am playing them again and again in no particular order
I find Dawn of Sorrow really relaxing to play every time I pick it up.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Perfect Sunday Morning Game?
Any of the metroidvania Castlevania games. They are so damn relaxing! And you can play most of them in BED!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd March)
Studying for next weeks exam BUT ...
Dune 2000 on the Steam Deck. It is really addictive
Continuing with Resident Evil 3 Nemesis after couple of restarts.
Training in Sekiro so I could suck less ...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th March)
After the amazing Resident Evil 2 it is time for Resident Evil 3 Nemesis to be conquered!
I will also die many times in Castlevania Rondo of Blood!
And inspired by Dune Part II, I will play Dune II Battle for Arrakis!
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Pokémon Executives On Anime Return Of Ash And Pikachu: "Anything Is Possible"
Just make him a cameo as the champion of the elite four in Kanto. He is just a really bad trainer for a main character
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
@Rpg-lover It happens from time to time
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
This weekend I will finish Resident Evil 2 (Original). Currently I am in the Umbrella Lab It is so good to play it after the Remake
And I got GTA V so I am starting that as well
Re: Warner Bros. Doubles Down On Its Commitment To Live Service Games
This only makes me happy. There are so many old games I am yet to buy and play. Now I have less modern games to "worry" about
Re: Talking Point: What DS & 3DS Games Would You Still Like To See On Switch?
1. Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
2. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
3. Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
Re: Anniversary: Switch Turns Seven Today, With Over 11,000 Games On The eShop

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 2nd)
I will be playing Resident Evil 2. The N64 controls are really comfortable as I am not stuck with the classic tank controls
Started another run of Elden Ring thinking about the DLC
Some casual fun in Hollow Knight and some skirmish matches in WarCraft 2
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: 505 Games Shuts Multiple Offices As Remedy Acquires Rights To Control IP
I think that maybe the effect from the pandemic as MANY companies were over-hiring and now, they want to go back with office closures and layoffs.
Also, if the industry slows down, I am ok with it. Too many low quality projects are being offered anyway.
Re: Gallery: Pokémon Art Project 'Kanto Redrawn' Is Complete, And It Looks Incredible
Beautiful pixel art
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Castlevania: Legacy Of Darkness
@WaffleRaptor01 Exactly my point. But this time the other regions have votes for that
The EU cover art for this game is just too good!
Every time I vote, it is without any "patriotic" reasons
I mean who the hell will like the JP one with this terrible art
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Castlevania: Legacy Of Darkness
The EU is amazing. Every other pick is just a biased choice depending on the region
