A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'm really only now getting heavy into emulators and I've been playing a lot of PS2 titles on my android phone. That's rocky enough that I know 360 emulation on a phone would be trash. But how is it on PCs?

Program recommendations? Advice? Thanks!

Totally not doing this just because I'm finishing up RDR2 and I need to know the rest of the story from the original, nope not at all.

I play much older games on emulators so I don’t have very specific advice for you but PS2 emulation is kinda uniquely difficult because it had pretty odd hardware.

I've had a good experience for the most part with PS2. RPGs work well that ive played. Fight Night 3 is still one of the best boxing games. I've got a dozen games I think.

Shadow of the Colossus is that systems emulation white whale. I don't know the details but apparently it's one of the hardest games to emulate for whatever reason. Probably has something to do with it being a PS1 turned into a PS2 game thru black shadow magic. Idk.

Armored Core 3 is extremely rough too. Sky Odyssey won't even load for me. Ratchet and Clank is extremely resource heavy too.
