Getting pretty deep into the content of Burnout 2. I feel like I'm getting decent at these games, but also I'm stuck on a 1v1 race. Still fun!

I love the utter chaos that is you being forced to play Burnout 2 because the eBay guy is dumb.

I have a bad habit of wanting to play a series in order, I just couldn't help myself lol.

Sometimes it happens to me.
But sometimes a sequel or prequel isn't avaliable to me

On a side note I love your pfp. I started up Suikoden 3 again a few weeks ago. It really was a great game

Yea, I really like Suikoden 3 obviously but it does have its problems. It does get very tedious imo, so I can see why some may not like it. But it does have a really unique comfy atmosphere to me and was one of my first jrpgs so tons of nostalgia for me ^_^

So I' m out of commission as I don't have a computer that can run PS2 games.

That's been a concern of mine for these threads, I've been thinking maybe psx era should be the cutoff? I also have a potato as far as emulation goes >_< it does pretty well (no problems with burnout 3), but that is because I know what I'm doing (I think I even mentioned earlier you have to fiddle with pcsx2 a bit to get this one to work, at least for me), but a few games have caused even me issues like zoe would chug and I couldn't really do anything...

Gonna try and play a bit in my downtime over the coming weekend.

I really hate these Face Off events.
I hate it when I'm in first place and I look behind me, there's nothing there, but if I look behind me again, that fucker is right behind me.

Another thing I hate is that when I crash, the opponent is so far away from me that I have to restart the ENTIRE event.

Anyway, that doesn't matter since I'm making good progress in the game.

Level: Far East, Dockside - Road Rage 2
is making me want to put my head through a wall or a windshield rather…
I haven’t had trouble with any of the road rages up until this point. Let me know if any of you have trouble with it or if its just me
All in all, still enjoying it. They knew they were cooking with some of these mechanics

I think I inadvertently went through and hearted a bunch of stuff on here in one tab, then forgot where I was in another tab and might have un-hearted a bunch of stuff, whoops.

Emulation is such a bizarrely amazing beast and I think the PS2 is probably one of the craziest just because there is such a range of styles used on it.
I have a 2019 I think Celeron laptop or something, yes, an absolute piece of junk. For some reason, that thing can hit about 30-40 FPS in a game like Champions of Norrath, but when I swap over to say, RE3 on the Gamecube, about 10 FPS.
Meanwhile, my desktop (may she rest in peace) while still ancient could run RE3 Gamecube at full frames exempting some weird glitches I only occasionally ran into, but CON dips to about 10 FPS. Release wise way older than that Celeron, so about the best I've got is maybe PCSX2 runs better based on newer versions of Vulkan or whatever (I use LInux for the record) , which newer processors and iGPUs would obviously support.

Anyway yeah, I mean I know a few people on here who somehow have worse PCs than I do, (maybe you yourself) so maybe it's something to consider about restricting it a bit?
