I know we’re already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can’t wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D’Arc apparently it is one of the PSP’s best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

    For Final Fantasy Tactics, if you’re playing the PSP release, install CFW on your PSP (check reddit for a comprehensive guide on that) and then make sure to look up the patches for the game.

    The PSP port made the questionable choice of stretching graphics from the original 4:3 aspect ratio into the PSP’s 16:9 screen ratio, and it looks rough. Also, there’s some sort of coding issue that makes most moves with particle effects slow the frame rate to a crawl.

    There’s patches available to fix both of those issues, with no bugs or tradeoffs.
