I’ve had an account on RetroAchievements for a few years but never logged in on any of my emulators for some reason. I just started doing that, and it’s a lot of fun trying to get some of the achievements! It gives me a good excuse to replay some old favorites, and I’ve discovered some new things on games I’ve replayed many times.

It’s back up! https://retroachievements.org/game/14772

I was in the middle of playing Zelda when the servers went down yesterday. I’m guessing it was something about the GameCube achievement launch.

Sounds interesting!

Hmm, some of those little known games can be half decent sometimes! ;-) I do have Sonic 2, but I think I’m going to wait a bit. Even though I enjoy the games I’m not that good at them, so by the time I finished it I need a break!

I just finished Sonic the Hedgehog last evening and I’m trying to decide what I want to play next!

I’m amazed by how well many games run on the Deck. You obviously can’t have every graphic setting cranked, but it’s still pretty good.

I’m not sure of the reasons why other people don’t like the games, but for me it’s primarily just not being pulled into the story and world. So far I’ve tried Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spiderman Remastered, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, and God of War, and the only one I actually finished and liked was Uncharted. Horizon I liked the gameplay and world fairly well, but the story was a bit boring. The others I put a number of hours into and quit because I wasn’t enjoying myself. I didn’t have super high expectations of any of them, so I don’t think it’s that. They may just not be my kind of game anymore, although I do like some games that are somewhat similar.

Yeah, it can be frustrating in times like that.

Oh yes, those are a lot of fun! It does add a lot to the game. Just a warning, I’ve found them to be a bit buggy at times, so I would recommend doing a save before taking one. They may have fixed it since I took one though.

I would have a problem with a game that sells premium bullets, because as I said in my previous comment, it gives an actual gameplay advantage when playing against other players. Which means it’s what I would call pay to win, and means I wouldn’t play it. To this point I’ve played several free to play games fairly extensively, but never spent a cent on them.

You have a different definition of pay to win than the other poster and I do, and while I don’t agree with it, that’s fine. My primary purpose for responding to your comment was to try to explain what they were referring to. I’m not trying to start a big argument over a game that I don’t even play, so I won’t be going any further with this.

That’ll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I’m sure! I’ve got a lot of hours into both of those games.
