No, you can claim on the epic game store site. You do need an account though. You can make an account for free. You will need the client to play the games though. You can also claim the games through the client too.Quote:

Although I've read you can't play retail games while in dev mode. I think the only issue being that you have to reboot the system if you wanna go between dev and non-dev mode. This is what I've read on it. I don't have a series X/S so I can't test myself.
You can install retroarch on XB1 retail. I have it on my S. No need to pay for dev.
I wouldn't be surprised in series x is the same.
Oh shit? I might have to look more into this...Quote:

It started out needing dev mode. Microsoft got pissed off that thousands of dev accounts were getting signed up for no reason. I don't know exactly what happened, but at one point they killed this, then maybe retroarch got tossed onto the MS store or something like that.Quote:

that's good.
Chopped down a bunch more of the weedy little trees that have sprouted up all over the property the last few years :flamethrower:.
got a bit frustrated(and bored) playing omikron so I took a break started playing something else that was listed as an rpg but wasn't it's an adventure game. I played it for a while got stuck on a puzzle it took me a while but I solved it made some more progress then I hit a brick wall I'm completely stuck now spent hours looking for a guide and didn't find anything but a post on gog forum about a stupid patch for the game.
so once again I decided to play something else I've really been in the mood for a jrpg so I tried out 1 I dl'd it's an ok game until I went into another area of a cave then my frame rate plummeted making the game unplayable >:(
I said fuck it I'll play an fps that I installed a couple weeks ago the game looks awesome except there's no vo's during the fmvs but there's subtitles so it's ok right? the subs barely stay on screen long enough to read them(unless they're only 3-4 words long) so that's pretty irritating.
I get to the actual game and it plays great until I realized there's no sfx *sigh* so I check my audio settings still no sfx, I look the game up to see if there's any known bugs I didn't see any mention of audio bugs now I'm thinking it might have something to do with the crack

I managed to get through that puzzle I was stuck on in that adventure game I was playing. I happened to look up the game on the publishers website and seen a pic of the exact puzzle I was stuck on and decided to set it up like in the pic
which did solve the puzzle I'm a little pissed though cause I set it up the exact same way multiple times but the game doesn't give you a conformation that you solved it like all the other puzzles, you have to manually check to see if the door gets unlocked.
if it wasn't for this puzzle and 1 other one I would have beaten the game a lot sooner(it's a really short game) I still fail to see how it can be classed as an rpg when there's no rpg elements in it.

Shining Tears. I remember playing it at a Gamestop kiosk years ago. The game must have really flown under the radar. It got a sequel, but the sequel was only released in Japan. And it doesn't look like the sequel has a fan translation either. Regardless, being able to play the game again will be nice.
Shining games have never done well here. Tears doesn't have any direct sequel that I know of :thot:.
Edit: My mistake, apparently Wind is supposed to be a sequel but it looks like the relation to Tears is loose.
I played through Tears earlier this year, it was alright. I'd suggest cheating unless you enjoy grinding, same for EXA. I haven't played through Neo yet but, EXA reuses a lot of assets from that and I presume it's also grind heavy.
Well most emulators have a speed-up function, which helps with grinding. True though the Shining series have never done super well here. The Shining Souls games weren't too bad.
Souls looks similar in gameplay (edit: compared to Tears), looking at the screenshots.Quote:

finished alpha prime the other day it was short and enemies were fucking bullet sponges plus the dfx didn't work right or most of the va's it's too bad because the game had a cool setting it just needed work to be good. started playing unreal 2(it's been a long time since I played that) and been playing a game called ambrosia to feed my jrpg craving.Quote:

Just grabbed Pimiga 3. In the process of setting it up to work on WinUAE.
Is it a sci-fi FPS? Maybe their development time got cut short and they made the worst of it turning the enemies into bullet sponges in an attempt to increase game length :shrug:. Be sure to play through the final level quickly when you get to it in Unreal 2, it's buggy.Quote:
