  • I used emulation to show a bunch of old PS1, PS2, and original Xbox games I had when I was younger to my partner. It was a fun evening, and they actually enjoyed most of them. They didn’t really get into gaming until the Wii, so it was nice to see their reactions to some of the older stuff.

    But I agree with the other comments here, it should really only be used for preservation or things you can’t purchase from retail anymore.


  • I remember being blown away by a gameplay demo of Bioshock during E3. They used a lightning bolt to shock the water, and it worked?!

    I rented the game for the Xbox 360, and was equally blown away by its story. What an awesome experience. I play though it occasionally on my PC just to live in its world again, though I think I like the original more than the remaster.











  • I also have longer queue times, but I’m skewed towards the higher end of the curve so there’s already just less available players for me.

    I’d imagine it’s a combination of a few different things; -The awful news of PvE and terrible PR probably turned off a lot of people from the game -The surge of free to play players moving on -The time you were playing can have a big impact, at least it does for me. I get way shorter queue times on weekends and evenings.

    For reference, I’m in NA and get around the same times though. 5 minutes in quick play when queued for damage or support.
