Nearly 22h in Ground Zeroes, I'm not even going for challenges or trophies.

EDIT:
Started to play the free trial of Beyond Earth then decided to play 6 hours of Civ 5 instead.

Can anyone give PS2 emulation recs? I never owned one so I've never dug into it, but the wife wants to play Dark Cloud.

It looks better on an old TV where the pixels fuzz out a bit but basically yeah they are. In that game the painted backgrounds are gorgeous but the characters look pretty horrible. Entirely playable and clear what's happening though.

Jesus, I want to play Resident Evil. The new one looks so good.

I was doing a play through about 2.5 years ago and I don't remember it being that bad. Damn.

It really is a million times better looking on a CRT though.
You see it too clearly through emulators or whatever, it needs the dithering.

Yaaaaaaaay, I actually liked the game - it just wasn't worth paying month to month. Now, i'll have a decent time sink.

Yeah, people too often forget that while talking about how bad old games' graphics are. They weren't designed for computer monitors or modern TVs. It's why I still keep a CRT hanging around, when I get that itch to play old stuff it looks so much nicer.
