Tough one - I don’t have a hard cutoff, but I’ve certainly started to slow down on buying retro games. I’ve spent over $200 CAD on a single game in recent memory (2022?), nowadays I wouldn’t really want to go over $100 CAD.
I’ve also been reevaluating and selling off some of my collection whenever I can buy ports / digital versions of some games (eg: Chrono Trigger, bought on Steam and sold my loose SNES cart, Xenogears bought on PS3 and sold my CIB copy, etc).
I only focus on two retro systems - SNES and PS1 - and I don’t really play on OG hardware anyways (Super Nt / Pocket for SNES, PS3 / Vita for PS1), so I don’t mind “owning” digital and ultimately downloading roms if necessary.

I guess the main question is where do you draw the line for “somewhat newer stuff”? 5th gen consoles only (and then which one) or even newer?
And what screen size are you looking for?

This is awesome. Radiant Silvergun isn’t my most played shmup to date but it’s definitely so so unique, I really enjoy it.
I certainly think romhacks/patches are a major benefit to older gen titles and I’m somewhat concerned we’ll lose that with newer gens.

Je pose ça là : https://ici.tou.tv/le-dernier-canadien-francais - c’était plutôt intéressant, d’un point de vue francophone hors Québec

C’est un jeu avec le cul (ahem) coincé entre deux chaises selon moi, niveau gameplay.
Fortement parry based comme Sekiro (ou evade, dépendamment), les combos sont aussi très importants (un peu comme DMC / Bayo, mais plus “lourd” et répétitif) mais tu dois généralement être moins agressif que dans ces jeux là et tu as quelques notions de soulslike (repos qui fait respawn, etc), d’où les comparaisons. Les comparaisons avec NieR sont malvenues imo, si ce n’est que Stellar Blade est inspiré niveau histoire et univers mais mal bouclé.

J’ai abandonné Stellar Blade midway car rien ne sauve le jeu à mon sens, le gameplay devient stale rapidement et le reste me paraissait vraiment pas au niveau (histoire, voice acting, contenu annexe, musique d’ambiance sympa mais répétitive, etc).

Ditto. tbh after hearing Ben Starr in the first few seconds of the trailer, I was hooked, but the style and gameplay showcased definitely impressed me even more.

Je viens de commencer Horizon: Forbidden West, qui m’occupera certainement une grande partie du mois.
Après Hellblade II, j’enchaîne les claques visuelles. Selon moi HFW est d’autant plus impressionnant en tant que jeu cross-gen.

That’s right! It’s referenced in the video as well (and from memory Neil also mentioned it in a previous video, but I wouldn’t be able to link to it tbf)
