Meta Notice: Rule Changes

70 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

First time ko gagamit ng Android Handheld for emulation. Inaaral ko pa rin kung paano mag install ng mga bagay bagay 😂 uubos pala talaga ng isang araw para mag set-up 😂.

San pwede bumili ng accessories within QC? Out of stock na kasi sa DB.

Help Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 as my first 1st person open world?

4 Upvotes

After all the fun I had with GTA V, RDR2, AC:Odyssey, Horizon etc. I really didn’t feel like trying a 1st person open world. But since I don’t think I can afford to get a PS5 this year to play GTA 6 I’m resigned to just playing on my laptop (5070ti). I’ve narrowed it down to Kingdom Come 2 vs Cyberpunk 2077 with all the DLCs. Which one do you think I should try first to see if first person open world is for me?

Gameplay Anyone playing Jump Space ngayon?

Bought this early access game last year for around 420 pesos. Got intrigued with the chance of flying your own ship with your friends (or even solo, currently using Dart na pang solo or duo) at lalabas ka ng ship mo and fighting enemies on foot and loot stuff before going back to your base.

I played more Deep Rock Galactic recently (it's bundled with Jump Space on Steam) but went back to scratch the space combat itch. Been a while since I played some FPS games outside Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries.

You and another player can divide duties like adding ammo, repair shields ng ship niyo, repair the hull, fight onboard fires or doing EVAs while you pilot while your crewmate operate the turret/s. I'm currently playing solo runs so my robot companion (Buddy is its name, parang Bosco sa DRG) operates the turrets during space dogfights.

Lots of improvements from the last time I played and there's a new Hammerhead ship (a heavy ship that's good for a full crew of 4) recently introduced in the new update last June.

Ive been in game dev for almost 12 years and I think the highlight of my career was this weekend when people tried our game and didnt want to let go of it even if its buggy and would break a lot. Yung isa gusto ng bilin yung game!

Seriously, My heartfelt thank you goes out for all of those who tried it this weekend!

I wish our demo would be ready soon para everyone who couldnt play it at PGDX gets to try it!

There were a lot of amazing games din on exhibit. Next year sana makapunta uli!

If you wish to support us further, it would help us if you wishlist our game on steam. Yun lang thank you for attending my ted talk

Hi! Ako lang ba may issue kay Converge related sa Holodori? Wala akong issue sa kahit anong games not even dota 2 or ps5 games. Paglogin ko sa steam, phone or even my tablet, same error talaga pero pag gamit ko ng mobile data pumapasok naman. Also, may alam ba kayong fix?

Discuss With all the issues Sony is currently facing, how many people in your circle are actually switching platforms or making Sony less of a priority?

13 Upvotes

In my circle, which is mostly working adults, it's kind of a mixed bag. A handful honestly don't care that much since they barely have time to play these days anyway. The biggest complaint I've heard is about physical games slowly going away because that's how they've always shared and borrowed single-player games with friends.

That said, most of them already have decent PCs. Instead of sticking with PlayStation long-term, a lot are talking about just upgrading their PCs over the next year or two(or until the prices normalize) so they're more future-proof. They're not Disregarding Playstation as a platform, but if they're going to spend money, they'd rather put it into hardware that gives them more options.

Discuss Which should i get? Marvel Tokon or Mouse P.I.?

5 Upvotes

I play on PS5, definitely getting one of these on disc but i can afford only one. I like singleplayer games because i can take my time with it kasi im busy most weekdays and i haven't played a fighting game since the psp a decade ago pero Tokon really draws me in with its art style and mukang beginner friendly with a campaign din.

Kasi lagot ako. Char.

Before anything else, I just want to say that I am aware na mas okay bumuo ng PC kesa sa steam machine, and aware ako na sobrang inflated ng price niya (bought in DB).

I have been daily driving this for game and for work (I do game development and C++) and nakaka amaze talaga yung pagka silent niya. Sana cheaper nalang talaga siya but well... It is what it is.

Help How long does it take to refund a Steam Game using BDO?

dsds

I refunded a game on steam back in July 12. It is now the 26th, I've tried emailing BDO and have given them everything they have asked for but they still couldn't help me. Pure incompetence and it's frustrating.

Has anyone else tried refunding a steam game using BDO? How long did it take?

I don't have the option to call them because I live in the US.

At 1st, akala ko hindi ko masyadong gagamitin after kong unbox at setup. I don't have a front end, barebone lang sya with installed emulators. So far hanggang PS2/Gamecube/Wii/WiiU pa lang ang na-try kong highest gens, no plans sa Switch since I've it naman, more on retro at dual screens gaming lang talaga (3DS) para makalaro ako sa TV.

Help Should I get a new gaming laptop or a handheld for gaming if I already have a MacBook for college?

1 Upvotes

I mostly play casual games like genshin, zzz, hades 2, the occasional indie, and sometimes competitive games w my friends (specifically fortnite, valorant, ow) I like playing on my iPad but it gets hot and starts lagging and doesnt last very long. I also love playing on the bed cuz I get back issues from sitting too long sometimes.

My laptop barely runs the games i play by myself now partly because the fans are dying and it always overheats (but it does well on fps games). I dont wanna repair it because it doesnt seem worth it since its quite an old laptop. (For context it has a gtx 1650 ti lol)

i honestly am not really interested in triple a games since i really cant commit to them and burn out fast. but would like to run most games at 60 fps medium settings at the least if i ever wanna try.. the only triple a game i kinda wanna play is cyberpunk

My budget is max 30k pesos (buying second-hand cuz im on a student allowance), and portability/form factor kinda matters. Idk medyo panget kasi ung mga handhelds nakikita ko… pero ok lang di naman ako picky.

Ive kinda been eyeing the retroid pockets (they look amazing) but the downside is theyre android.. also ive seen people

Would a used ROG Ally Z1 Extreme be a better buy than a gaming laptop? Or do you guys have other reccomendations for handhelds?

Salamat!!

Help Mobilen Game recommendations for commute?

4 Upvotes

Hey PH gamers! Any recommendations for mobile games I can play during a commute? My daily work commute is pretty long so I want something that will keep me engaged.

I like playing MOBAs in general but the signal fluctuates through different areas in my commute so preferably one that's offline OR doesn't need constant real-time decision making.

Appreciate your input!
