Posted in PC Handhelds Megathread

I'd watch That Video, I already do watch Those videos everyday anyway but I think if it's like the posts in this thread you've made it'd be a good watch. I wish I had something more interesting to reply with but I don't own anything in this category that isn't a Steam Deck but it's interesting to hear that the ergonomics of that thing are STILL king, at this point it has to be the most comfy handheld ever right?

Don't suppose you're gonna' bother trying to emulate stuff like PS3/360 era on any of these? I was pretty sceptical that any of the low to mid ones were worth bothering with but lately I've come round to the idea it can be done. Might not be everyone's highest priority but I have PS3 games I'd like to play again, like the Armored Core series.

Other than that, would still like a Legion Go 2 (in the same way I'd love a mansion, obviously not going to get one any time soon) but I haven't really ever had to not get something on the Steam Deck because I'm lacking the hardware power of the LG2 so far, is Cyberpunk still the general use benchmark for these things?

Also I'll say what we're all thinking…have you smelled the vents of all of these yet??? Maybe consider doing a smell test for the video??? :eyes:

I want to play Castlevania: Lords of Shadow again, I know this is a really hipster thing to say maybe but I never hated this game like most of the internet seems to, I remember liking the light/dark combat mechanic it had for some reason and I never saw it as a reboot. Anyway, those who have played it probably know where I'm going with this, Patrick Stewart passed away today and he plays a delightfully hammy role in this game as both an in game character who narrates the game, he even gets the Bloody Tears name drop in the narration!

I'm not sure when but this is one of those times I'm thankful I have a Series S as I can only get it there now. Speaking of the Series S, there's been a new breakthrough in the emulation scene and OG Xbox emulation is almost 'solved', I tried Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate on my Odin 3 and it ran at 60fps, incredible. Sad to say that all the games I'd use this for I can get on the Series S and in some cases already have, still pretty cool to have Panzer Dragoon Orta on a frigging handheld though!

Can confirm that Resident Evil: Requiem on the Switch 2 is great after playing it for a bit more, although I can't aim as well as I could on PS5, this probably means nothing if you play in docked mode with a pad like the Pro Controller. I'm trying to play in handheld mode as much as possible since I played this a million times on the TV with the PS5 and I want to see how much it has to compromise, to that I say the graphics aren't quite as nice but I think you'd be mad to complain about how it looks here and also it seemed to drop frames in one bit so far. (And I can play it bed if I want, wee)

Also that is still a really good game, especially the first third

Posted in Fire Emblem thread (Three Houses, Three Hopes, Engage)

I did eventually finish Leda's route, on the whole I liked it but I can't really shake that I hated the conclusion to it, wasn't surprised but somehow still disappointed. Dietrich next and I hope the carry over stuff makes this fly by because the sheer weight of this game is really getting to me, there has to be something I'm doing wrong.
