Witcher 3 is phenomenal, one of my absolute favorite games. Blood and Wine I think is my favorite DLC expansion I've ever played.

It is so worth it. I'm not really bothered by clunky controls personally at this point as I just feel like if you are playing with controller then most AAA titles are clunky to control at this point. But I do absolutely see where you are coming from and could even see the argument that RDR2 is a bit worse in that regard than most.

But holy hell is it worth it. I really think that it is the deepest game I have ever played. World building, story, character writing, cinematography, humor, self awareness, difficulty and fun. Its absolutely phenomenal, and I had high expectations going in.

Please do yourself a favor and push through the control schemes. There's so much to love there.

I know I could run the game, I'm making RDR2 work somehow. Split screen sounded likely taxing though

I love rocket league and just absolutely forget it has local play for years at a time.

Awesome resource thank you for sharing!

So I forget about this game, but I do own it and have hardly ever played. Can't remember why? Maybe I had controller support issues or something. I'll have to fire it up.

Lmao yeah portal 2 was a little challenging

Interesting, I've actually never played any borderlands. Is 2 fine to start from? Is that mod very taxing on the PC in question? I'm squeezing every ounce of power I can out of an old dell gaming laptop with a 960M, so I could see maybe struggling if it's like the hacky way you can do that with Halo MCC where it basically runs the exe 2 entire times.

We started that when I had ea play or whatever for a bit, but I didn't keep that and we never got too deep into it. Should go back to it.

[–] Omnimater@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I'll give it a look sounds interesting

[–] Omnimater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Not really familiar with them tbh I'll look into them

We've played a couple of the Lego games and found it a little too kiddish simplistic.

I'll check out the other two thanks

 

My wife and I like to play games together, but PC devs often skip couch co-op options. For example, I bought Halo Master Chief Collection because I know Halo co-op is legendary and I never really played Halo growing up, nor did she. But the PC version specifically doesn't have split screen co-op where the console version does.

We already own and play Stardew Valley, Outward (fantastic game if you aren't aware), and Civ 5 (we prefer it over 6).

So what other options have you enjoyed that I may have missed?

 

This game is amazing and stunningly beautiful even on older hardware. It runs surprisingly well on my older gaming laptop. The game really encourages me to try different things too. I'll be playing this for a while still, much to do.

Next up also picked up on sale though is Outer Worlds, I'm excited for that.

 

I've essentially only emulated Pokemon games from my childhood and their romhacks previously. But now I'm looking to play things I just completely missed because I was too young, not born, or didn't have the system then.

So what are your favorites?

Emulating on Android with Lemuroid btw.
