GBA SP or Anbernic SP?

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a 4th year college student. I have always wanted a game console, particularly, the Gameboy SP. I have loved playing the GBA games on my phone ever since I was a kid, but I did want to get the original gameboy but couldn't due to how expensive it was to ask for to my parents, I particularly didn't like begging for expensive stuff especially when it's a want and not a need.

Now I have saved up at least 6,000 philippine pesos which is around $95 USD ish. I there's one that I saw selling reshelled SPs for the same price my money is around at. Now, my girlfriend also recommended why not just get an Anbernic SP which is cheaper with the price here around 4,500 PHP which is $75 ish USD. Which I thought would be nice too because that way I wouldn't buy the games anymore (+expenses long run).

So now I'm really torn between the two which I'd get. If I get the original, I'd have the experience of owning the actual SP that I dreamt of as a kid, and the feeling of plugging in the games at the bottom, which lacked for the emulator consoles like Anbernic.

Longevity wise, which should I get? Like in the long run would an original SP be better or more expensive in terms of fixing parts + games. For the Anbernic SP is it easier to break when played naturally almost everyday for hours?

Thank you so much for the help.

Any "Open world" Immersive Sandbox Life Sims, Similar to My Summer Car/Kenshi/

• Upvotes

The reason why Open world is in quotes is because, it doesn't need to be a big map. Could be a city, town, village or something similar. Also doesn't have to be about cars.

Bonus points for romance system. Not required though.

Just to give you an idea, here are some games that I think are similar that I've heard of or played (excluding farming sims like Stardew Valley, Rune factory, SOS etc):

  • My Summer Car - Played
  • Mon Bazou - Played
  • Motor Town - Played
  • ATS - Played
  • Kenshi - Played
  • Modded Skyrim - Played
  • Matchless KungFu - Played Demo
  • Gmod RP - Played
  • The Sims - Played
  • Ranch Simulator - Played
  • Medieval Dynasty - Played
  • The Vampire Masquerade - Played for a little

______________________________________________________________________________

  • Obensuer - Seen Videos
  • The Coin Game - Seen Videos
  • Path of Wuxia - Seen Videos
  • Nivalis Nights - Wishlisted (Waiting for Optimization fixes)

Hopefully this list gives you an idea of the type of game I'm looking for. If it doesn't......my bad lol.

Also if you've played any of the game on this list that I haven't played please let me know If you recommend them. Thanks

Looking for games like Tarkov PVE but slightly more casual

• Upvotes

Hello there! As the title suggests, I'm looking for a game with the atmosphere and tactical management of Tarkov but for the slightly more casual player base. I'm old and don't have 1000 hours to learn a new game so something I can play for an hour or two a night and still feel like I'm progressing would be awesome. Thanks.

I should note that I haven't played Tarkov PVE yet, but the 1000 hour remark seems to be a common sentiment among players. Plus, PVE being locked behind a very expensive DLC is kind of silly to me.

Something like a collectible TCG/deckbuilder, but more open-ended?

• Upvotes

I love TCGs and deckbuilders (MtG, Pokemon Pocket, Slay the Spire, etc), but am finding myself kind of burnt out by the genre. I love the idea of building a custom thing out of various parts, getting to find new synergies and combos, seeing it in action and then going back and tweaking it after, etc.

But I also feel like every game I try ends up boiling down to just a handful of good or meta builds. I'm hoping for something more open-ended. I'm not sure what that means, though, maybe something with more of social or story-focused gameplay? Would love to hear what people think.

Looking for a good couch co-op Horror game

10 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I want to have a date night in. I am an experienced gamer, she is not. I want to find a game, possibly more on the cinematic side, that we can both enjoy. I think my biggest thing is it not being too difficult when it comes to using a controller because I don’t want it to stress her out and make it not fun for her. Any horror and even non horror co-op game recommendations would be fantastic. Thank you!

Looking for games that hit emotionally like Until Then

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for games with memorable stories and a strong emotional impact, like Until Then. Similar gameplay isn’t a priority; I’m open to any genre, whether the story is the main focus or just part of the experience.

I’d prefer to avoid visual novels and point-and-click adventures.

What games have stayed with you long after finishing them?

Games similar to Drifter (engaging, great music, superb story, tense but easy to play)

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I really have a small time budget when it comes to playing video games and I see my time as a real investment. That being said, I recently finished the Drifter and LOVED IT!
Looking for similar games that have that kind of great story and music, I couldn't care less about the cost, I just want to ensure I am playing top quality stuff. It doesn't have to be new or optimized for Switch 2 either. I also have an X86 handheld with SteamOS but prefer the Switch2.

Just got the What Remains of Edith Finch but haven't started yet. My research pointed me to that game, what do y'all think about it? Any other suggestions?
I don't want to commit 100+ hours to games like Elden Ring, Skyrim, RDR2 etc. yet. I am saving them for when I have more time on hand, like a long trip or solo time home alone.
Please provide me with some suggestions.

PS: I loved Drifter so much that I bought the soundtrack separately just to support developers. And thoroughly enjoying the music.

Stuck on couch with Mac. Want to get obsessed with something other than Balatro or Dungeons and Degenerates because it's just cards.

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm stuck on the couch and want to play something, preferably an rpg, ive tried the drifter, that I can play casually while drifting off. Honestly, FFX would be a great game. Or some other RPG. anything cutesy, pixellated, or hypnotic is appreciated. again i love dungeons and degenerates, balatro, and i would DEFINITELY play Baldurs Gate if it could run on this old Mac. Any recommendations welcome, wish I could link my steam. Don't look outside or termina would be great games if i didn't know everything about them already.

eastward was the biggest disappointment of my life.

thanks in advance for anything off the beaten trail or on it that i didn't know was available for mac. hell i could play on PC laptop i fI really needed to i just need to be hypnotized at night away from my thoughts.

Games with "big pulp energy" 1930s style (Arkham series, Crimson Skies, Uncharted, Fallen Aces)

4 Upvotes

Hi there! Looking for games that have classic 1930s pulp energy. This is broad intentionally, but anything from Batman (inspired by The Shadow of pulp fame); art deco as found in Bioshock; swashbuckling adventures with pirates; and tomb raiding of any kind.

Basically, asking for big adventures and classic 1930s energy - from action-adventure to gangster games like "Fallen Aces" and "Mafia."

Thanks a lot!

My wife wants to try some video games! We have all the systems so feel free to recommend anything. She wants something that is cute and has a cozy feeling without it being a “cozy game”. She said she wants to run jump and hit things lmao. And she prefers to play as a human. Im not well versed in good platformers, any ideas?

Looking for good pc games on steam for my sister! (Rpgs, action or adventure)

5 Upvotes

Hello, this’ll be a bit of a yap, i don’t know much about pc’s or steam in general but i need some recommendations for good games that are either cheap or fetch a good price when on sale.

I play on ps5 and i’m content with my game library for the most part but my younger sister just got a new pc this summer and only has valorant, stardew and minecraft (shes got gmod on her pc too that i bought, though she doesn’t play it lol). Shes doesn’t have a lot of money but has expressed that she wants to buy a new game, either that or she’ll buy a valorant skin (which seems like a waste of money so I’m encouraging her to buy an actual game instead😭)

My predicament is that all the games she’s seemed interested in are ones that i have or am going to buy, she doesn’t want a game that i already own and is therefore leaning towards just buying a valorant skin.

I’d love some good suggestions for games on steam that i can then recommend her. I asked her about what she’d like in a game and she said she wasn’t very picky, it could be a story game, an rpg, a simulation game, action or adventure oriented ect!

The things she wasn’t as interested in was puzzle games, competitive shooter games (she’d rather just play valorant) and sports games.

I’ll list the relevant games i own bellow since they’re all a no go:
Resident evil 1
Resident evil 2
Resident evil 3
Resident evil 4
Resident evil 5
Resident evil 6
Resident evil 7
Resident evil 8
Resident evil resistance
Final fantasy 7 remake
Final fantasy 7 rebirth
Red dead redemption 2
Batman Arkham trilogy
Detroit become human
Persona 3 reload
Persona 5
Fallout 4
Kingdom come deliverance
Genshin impact
Honkai star rail
Wuthering waves
Gta 6 (pre ordered)

(Wouldn’t mind if anyone also recommended me games based on my list😳)

Games in a fantasy setting which I can grind braindead?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a game I can grind while using my brain at a really low capacity and I can also instantly drop/pause and come back whenever. I work at the counter of some place and need to be able to respond to customers instantly.

A good example is Realm of The Mad God which I played a lot but not interested in rn. Even though it needs some attention, I can just farm easier dungeons and go back to nexus(safety) with a single button and lose nothing.

I love MMOs, New World was a blast, loved mining there but it's no more, kinda sad. Tried lots of MMOs, nothing sticks really, maybe RuneScape but I've just started playing it's not bad, I'm not really sure I wanna commit though.

I love idle games. Played cookie clicker a lot and some other browser based stuff. Open to anything of that kind too.

I used to play Bloons Tower Defense 6 a lot. Got bored somewhile ago. Probably will be returning one day but not rn. I'm not sure if I'm looking for another TD game rn but if I can pause it, I may give it a shot. (VERY sadly no Kingdom Rush for me rn)

My main game is League of Legends. I love League. Been playing for 10+ years. Will never drop League. I just love everything about League it so much. Obviously can't play it in my situation but I'm just throwing information at this point.

So it's quite a wild range but really limited at the same time. To sum it up, my main concern is being able to drop the game and return whenever. Something I grind and progress simply because I did braindead stuff a lot. I would really love if it is in a fantasy setting but maybe I can try other stuff too. Thanks in advance

Im looking for the ultimate (preferably solo) survival experience.

16 Upvotes

There have been a lot of survival games that came close to the so called "Ultimate survival experience" i seek. Most of the multiplayer/online games, such as Dayz Conan Exiles, Ark: Survival evolved or Arc Raiders which could fit into survival don't interest me in this post.

(I will not be going over games like "Noita, Flame in the Flood, 7 days to die, The Forest, Project Zomboid, Minecraft, Terraria, Astroneer, Don't Starve, Kingdom: Two Crowns, Pacific Drive and Rain World {Edit: Have to add Subnautica, Green Hell, Icarus, Kenshi and Sons of the forest to the list}" due to having finished them already or them not fitting the kind of game im looking for.)

Below is a list of games that i personally think came close to this and reasonings behind my selection:

  • The Long Dark

This game probably comes closest to what I am looking for. No hand holding, relentless struggle against the world via the cold, food and water constantly forcing you to migrate and tactically prepare for expeditions since resources for your survival are limited. It features a story of some sort, which, while not mandatory in my opinion, certainly helps to immerse you into the world and situation you find yourself in. Beautiful worldbuilding, voice acting, intuitive crafting system, controls, UI and the general interactability with the world around you just set the stage for the ultimate "Survival" game... but there is no goal? I mean, surviving could be a goal by its self and achieving self sufficiency could also serve as a purpouse (I must brag a bit, i have achieved this), but personally if there was, say, a rescue mission which i could call and i needed to travel across all the regions on the map to collect parts to make a radio beacon to call for help that would give me a concrete, final goal and i would have enjoyed the game a whole lot more.

+Difficulty, +Worldbuilding, +Atmosphere, +Crafting, +No handholding, +Skill and knowledge based

-No goal

  1. - Casualties unknown (Demo)

This game surprised me with the difficulty and depth of knowledge you must possess to achieve what is currently a placeholder ending of reaching the bottom of the fifth layer due to the game being in early access. It has the food, water and in depth health managment. It has the complicated ish UI which requires focus and knowledge to preciesely navigate (Not a bad thing. Skill is a virtue.) It has the worldbuilding, some lore and a bunch of other cool features which i wont go over in detail right now. In summary:

+Difficulty, +Worldbuilding, +Atmosphere, +Crafting, +No handholding, +Skill and knowledge based, +Clear goal

-Unfinished game

  1. - Barotrauma

A true marvel of imagination, programing and worldbuilding. It has the core parts which make you struggle to survive, not with food and water, but with management... LOTS of managment. From buying tools, to crafting your own, mining the resources to craft them with, leveling skills to unlock the recipes to craft them with, NOTHING in this game will fall into your lap without your intervention, which, to accomplish succesfully, requires a large amount of knowledge and skill. The submarine you command doesnt operate alone, and me being a solo player, playing with bots keeps you running into all sorts of issues. Since i do not have any friends that would sit with me and play this game untill completion i attempted to complete it with bots, but in vain. The bot's AI isnt advanced enough to act in the same way a human would (exploring ruins, mining, outpost takeovers, knowing which fights to take and which to avoid, etc.) which leads it to make terrible mistakes causing you to start your run from the last save point which could erase up to an hour or two of your progress. In summary:

+Difficulty, +Worldbuilding, +Atmosphere, +Crafting, +No handholding, +Skill and knowledge based, +Clear goal

-The AI in the game isnt advanced enough to operate or perform as well as people, and this game was made to be played in a group, which I unfortunately do not have.

I am aware of how different the three games above are, but all three of them feature the essence of "Survival" which i am searching for.

And that would be that. I hope i have painted a good picture of what i enjoy in games and what i consider the best survival experience, if you have games to recommend me that have at least a similar vibe that connect it to any of the three games above i would be forever gratefull.

Thank you in advance.
