New refugee here. Ran away from the chaos that is “new gaming”.
I’ve set up RPCS3, PSX2 and Duckstation (sorry Xbox and other consoles folks. I’m from a country where the PlayStation was the dominant force) and I’ve been having so much fun. What brought me back is the realization of how crappy most new games are. The infinite chase after those “shadows”, “lights”, and “details” has killed gaming. All of this made the hardware requirements really high, and good hardware is really expensive. Also, there is no joy in new games (at least for me). It’s just all the same.
I’ve been going through a catalog of old games I’ve missed out on in my youth, and oh boy! Games were really good back then.
Edit: I welcome all the suggestions if you would like to suggest some good older games.
That’s awesome. I love fixing things. 5 or 6 years ago when I worked as an installer. A lady was using a brand spanking new PS3 as her Blu-ray player. I was at her house installing a TV and a brand new Blu-ray player. She gave me the PS3. I still have it until now. I even bought more games for it. Thanks for the game suggestion, too. Lol
