I thought that was the point right? I always saw it as: want good RPG > play Fallout 1 and 2, Want Wasteland Survival Simulator > Play Fallout 3/NV/4

Play

Fallout: New Vegas - straight off the back of the TV series, no idea how long I'll stick to it because I don't know if I even have time for a new Fallout playthrough but at the same time, I can't tear myself away. The fact that that it's 14 years old, a janky, glitchy piece of shit and still better than Starfield in any way that I remember is pretty shocking, what's even more shocking is that both games play like they came out a year or two apart so it's not just that it's a better game it's better in the same way Starfield tried to be. Didn't come here to shit on Starfield but playing New Vegas just brought all the disappointment back

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception - one of the more impressive PSP games I've played I think, it's not that it pushes what I feel the PSP is capable of, but as an Ace Combat game this really does feel like a full on console game in the series but on the PSP. Mission variety is great, it feels great to play (well I am emulating it on a console that has enough buttons to mimic the console AC controls, the PSP default setup is kinda bad) and it even has an AC style story, I can't imagine fans were let down here.

Dragon Quest 8 - Slowly making my way through, the further I get the more obvious it is that DQ11 wins the 'which is better' contest hands down. This isn't a bad game though, but after the generational narrative of 5 it feels a bit weaker than I remember, as is the cast which doesn't hold a candle to 11's. Also this 3DS version is so good I don't think I'd touch the PS2 version ever again, no random battles, extra party members, on screen map…it's actually quite a checklist of QoL.

Want - tempted to see if I can start and beat Baldur's Gate 3 before the new FFXIV expansion is out. :s

Bin Probably New Vegas soon.

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (Japanese version) - Only the one route but that one route already felt like the Ace Combat I know and love with some ridiculous story elements and moments (especially so in this oneb ecause you go into Space at one point…). It's clear this is the best Ace Combat on PS1 but also I'm glad we didn't get more of this type of 'futuristic tech' stuff in later games, it works in this one but I don't want it in the rest of the series, just let me take an F-25 Raptor and bomb some factories please.

5 episodes into Fallout and I don't really have a bad word to say about it

I recommend Colony Wars if you are enjoying your PS1 flight sims.

Colony Wars is on the 405M

Ace Combat 2 - improvement in every way, in a way that doesn't leave me with much to say other than that lol. So, errr, already started Ace Combat 3 and I will have more to say because the release for that game is interesting in that the Japanese version got multiple routes, multiple endings and a lot of anime FMV scenes and apparently the International version gutted almost all of it, no routes, no anime and no multiple endings. thank the lord we have dedicated fans and rom hacks to sub Japanese games!
