Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?
The ps2 gen had some great FPS games that were console exclusives since PC physical was dying, I wish I could play Black, urban Chaos Riot Response, Darkwatch, Timesplitters and Shadow Tower Abyss with a mouse and keyboard.
Oh man it’s so frustrating when they don’t translate the best version of a game, I hope it’s because it’s way harder to hack or something and not personal preference.
You the pineappleEA guy? I love that I can have the patreon version for free with an easy updater thanks to the yuzu team stealing code from him and him having a vendetta.
You are being downvoted but reminder to everyone that the public Yuzu is way behind on updates and compatibility, they sell access to their most recent version via their patreon. Something that Ryujinx does not do, it purely is a donation and nothing more.
They are taking his income for life, that’s an insane overreach specially for a big successful company like Nintendo, and it didn’t matter since the actual team behind it is back selling flashcarts that are even better than having to solder a chip.

Diablo 4, a full priced game, has microtransactions that are as expensive as the game itself, and skins that cost as much as 30 USD, when a game doesn’t fuck the people as hard it draws attention.
The reason is the cash shop of course. I know, it’s cheap and fair compared to every other live services, but it still limits your play to be online only.
We can only hope the game does an Avengers when it closes down and patches offline play, but we can’t trust these companies.
Are we just going to pretend Armored Core 6 wasn’t a development hell for a good while to the point that the original producer left to do Daemon X Machina?
Daemon X Machina features two prominent people behind the helm: producer Kenichiro Tsukuda and mecha designer Shoji Kawamori, who also worked together on the Armored Core series.
This is for staff, the hell comes from rumors about armored core 6 being made way before Daemon started it’s marketing cycle, then suddenly we have AC staff on marvelous instead of from, just do the math.
After seeing the USA part of the video I understand why Cyberpunk always happens over there, what are those lack of rights holy shit, “it can’t be fraud because you had no right to your game to begin with”.
It’s like the law is some insane reality where you are a criminal for utilizing software after support was closed down, but in real life the game is effectively yours if it’s a single player. Also “the gaming sphere is very unique on it’s abuse of the lack of consumer protections”, I hope this industry rots to the bone, but I’ll still try to contact my national consumer protection agency in Brazil, Ubisoft is particularly big over here so maybe something can be done.
If a big enough market combats this we all win, remember, we only have steam refunds because Australia sued valve; but when only Belgium banned lootboxes EA just blocked it over there and moved on.
This is a thing in Brazil, as soon as you open up a business you receive random bills from people like OP, people that are starting out and have no experience do pay.
