I DON'T CARE ABOUT GTA VI.
Its true?
Which game according to you justifies ?
What’s that one Game for you which feels like home?
First 🥇 time pc 😁 which games do I need
I spent 80hrs and 500$ on a game with zero content
Tell me you grew up in the golden age of PC gaming without telling me.
Game file sizes are getting out of control
RRR2 has ruined me
I turned my Steam Deck into a PS2 - I had no idea PCSX2 could boot games straight from the disc. Tested it out with Enter The Matrix (bought it from Cex for £2) and works well. Apparently can do the same for PS1 games too!
