They improved it significantly since launch. I found myself loving the added features more than expected, like the Screenplay and Master Books they included.

I also loved the full videos of the digital graphic novels, and variants of MGS1, like the Japanese version and Special Missions, all in one place.

And on the PC versions, there’s a good amount of relatively easily installed mods on Nexus that can add a lot of value.

I pretty much replay most of the Metal Gear games every other year or so, so it was just another excuse to replay again on a new platform.

They won’t include Portable Ops, but they really should.

They stopped adding PS3 games years ago right when I subscribed for Sony. They can’t even just get all their first party titles on there. Fuck sony for so many reasons.

I always felt people who are concerned with this are compensating for something.

The average mortgage rate in 1982 was 16.04%.

…

I also wanted to contribute random remarks.

This whole “weirdo” thing is idiotic. It’s handling them with kid gloves rather than underscoring they are fucking evil and want to do evil things.

I also had the first model. I was shocked that the slightly less weight of the OLED model would be the biggest difference for me.

The screen is very nice compared to the original model, but it was noticeably lighter and easier to hold for extended periods. That alone has helped justify the upgrade for me.

You’re right. It could be bias that only those stories make it over here often. For sure America has its own issues with endless shootings stories or police violence.

I think analogies pocket is attempting to replicate original hardware. You can plug in old games.

I like emulation cause I don’t need to keep physical games on me all the time or swap them out, and I get upscaling, save states, and fast forward. Emulation is way better to me.

Some steam games I have gotten for as little as 0.25 to 0.50 before. I’m fine with unplayed games. Or some games I try out for a few hours and move on. Ehh, it’s fine. But I almost am never spending dozens of dollars, much less full price. Hell, a lot of games are on discount on sites like Fanatical before they even launch.

I have also noticed PC gets patches much more quickly and often than console games. So when that matters, it’s kind of nice.

Most recently, a party-based single player game I love on its PC port has an experimental co-op built in which has been a ton of fun, and that’s just not happening on the console versions.

I know it’s probably anecdotal, but I feel like I have always seen a ridiculous amount of rape news from India.

This reminds me of my favorite website for demonstrating shitty designs.

Why not just get a Steam Deck and emulate everything?

One reason I went for it. I got the fat PS3 for Metal Gear and was still able to enjoy all my PS2 and PS1 games. Was worth it at the time.

At this point, what you’re saying is like telling a woman she shouldn’t have been there or wearing that, and ignoring the real issue with power here.

Cops largely are pathetic power-abusing shitheads who escalate at every possible opportunity. You should not have to cower to every whim and demand of a cop if you are not doing anything dangerous. Cops have lost any credibility to suggest that we should have to give a shit about every stupid fucking tiny thing they have an issue with.

Based on your argument, you could say you’ll only speak to a lawyer and you’re giving the cops an out to beat the shit out of you for not complying. Cops don’t understand non-violent approaches to solving any problem, and THAT is the problem to focus on.

Fuck the police.

PS1 launched at $299 in September 1995, which would be about $614 right now.

PS2 launched also at $299 in October 2000, which would be about $541 right now.

PS3 launched at $599 in November 2006, which would be about $935 right now.

PS4 launched at $399 in November 2013, which would be about $538 right now.

PS4 Pro launched at $399 in November 2016, which would be about $520 right now.

PS5 Digital launched at $399 in November 2020, which would be about $482 right now.

PS5 Disc launched at $499 in November 2020, which would be about $603 right now.

Some sites like Fanatical even have sales and discounts on pre-orders or recent releases. It’s nuts.

Steam Deck all the way. Also Sony’s been shit since at least the 2011 hack.

You can also get PC games from all kinds of sources and sales that ultimately are far cheaper than the pithy Playstation sales. It greatly offsets costs over time.

You also have far more backwards compatibility and flexibility especially to do things with controller profiles and mods, etc.

This stuff also happens other places, but yes people always think their experience was unique.

Like how every damn town has the same jokes about weather, as if they’re unique.

Sure. Also forced sterilization. Using groups for experimentation without consent. Stealing land. Bombing entire islands so native people can no longer live there. On and on.
