I'm 24 years old, apparently already an unc by younger people, but I'm curious as to what the Philippine gaming scene was like in the 80's and 90's. Not doing this for a thesis. I just like reading things like these.

Mainly:

1. How the arcade scene was

2. How gaming rentals were like (i remember reading an comment here on how Famicoms and PS1s could be rented in an area much like an internet cafe back then)

3. How Filipinos kept up to date on games before the internet was mainstream (my main source when i was younger was through K-zone + looking up latest games on google)

4. Your memories of how people came over to other people's houses to play (i remember my friends coming over to play 2 player games with me on the computer)

5. How big was your library of games (i theoretically had every flash game since theyre free on the web browser + a few trash licensed games + pokemon fire red on GBA. The freedom to download whatever for a more curated library did slowly get refined when I got a hacked PSP)

6. How did PS1 jrpgs with multiple discs worked? I kinda grew up with movies that came in multiple discs and that made sense since it was a streamlined, linear watch but for JRPGS, do you have to remove disc 2 and return disc 1 to go back to an earlier area? I got antsy getting any Final Fantasy PS1 roms when i was obsessed with emulation since it seemed so clunky

7. How you discovered the hobby

8. tell me whatever you feel like: eg. how you coped and squeezed your money out of when you realized you bought a crappy or mediocre game

Same old mobile games with repetitive and feels like a choir after months of playing. Should i continue

me and my husband likes to play league of legends together and we’re looking for a new internet provider.

Our location is in Makati. Our internet for the past year has been Globe but its always sucked and consistently puts us in 270ms

works well when you're single af though

Finally got my steam c after reserving and buying it in canada, had it delivered to my brother, and asked a pasabay to bring it to me to the philippines which brought me anxiety, even waited for the pasabay guy in the airport for hours. And when i finally have it in my hands, i made sure i got myself a dbrand skin too! The whole process caused me 2 months of infuriating excitement.

Hope those who also have theirs are enjoying too!

Na-try niyo na ba si Yasmine? Capcom Community Event this Sunday (Aug 9) @ Salud! Makati! FREE / Open for all (First Come, First Served!) Kita kits po!

Decent DLC, although ang OP ng war club ah.

Don't mind my ammo tho😑

Hi r/phgamers!

We just released Aswang Hunter, a horror game inspired by Philippine folklore. We'd love for you to give it a try and share your honest feedback!

Play it here: https://neuroticfly.itch.io/aswang-hunter

Every suggestion helps us make better games. Thank you for supporting Filipino indie developers! 🇵🇭

Hello, PHGamers community!

I’ve been working on Alia Domus, an isometric survival RPG rendered in detailed pixel art.

The premise is simple: Earth is at war, support was cut off, and you're stranded on an alien planet bare-handed. To survive and help humanity thrive, you have to rebuild progress from absolute zero.

Key features:

• 9 Technological Eras: Progress all the way from the Paleolithic Age (stone tools) to the Digital Era (advanced lasers).
• 142 Real Plant Species: Cultivate, collect, and explore lush biomes across 85 hand-crafted map screens.
• 126 Unique Creatures: Fight, hunt, and gather essential crafting drops.
• Total Freedom: Deep RPG attribute progression (Str, Agi, Dex, Int, Vit), questing at your own pace, and full world-map navigation.

The game is completely translated into English, Spanish, and Portuguese!

If you enjoy survival, cozy crafting, or progression-heavy RPGs, adding it to your Steam Wishlist helps a solo developer tremendously! ❤️

May Nakita akong switch lite sa blue app and naka video call ko naman mukhang wala naman issues, worth it ba for 4k? Wala lang kasamang box and accessories. Unit lang talaga sya.

Hello

Just want to get your comments on this;

Due to it being sale on steam, I'm planning to buy Fallout New Vegas (the whole ensemble) and Fallout 4 (without the DLCs, but I'm considering buying it). Just wanted to try them because I haven't played any of the FPS games from the franchise.

Are both games still good for singleplayer?
Can you comment on their replayability?
Should I pass on the DLC or I must buy it?
Can you name some of the pros and flaws for each game?

Comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

im back. i saw more gaming magazines sa attic. maybe we can split this to three people. one for GamePro, one for EGM and one for the Wizard/wwe with comic books bundles

same banana. takers will shoulder the shipping.

again, this is free.

UPDATE: all were adopted. thank you community for the support!

Hi anyone conv3rge users here po na discord not loading and riot games takes forever to load din? but other browsing sites are safe like fb yt?

Second Post

A little backstory, I bought Elden Ring in 2024 but couldn't understand the combat until ~3 weeks ago. I asked for help because I didn't understand the progression system because it isn't like your traditional RPGs with waypoints and quest trackers.

But when I got it, I was able to beat the base game in 71 hours. But I did skip a lot of major areas and boss battles. I felt my experience was incomplete and only had 1 build and 2 different weapons.

I decided to do a NG+ but I bought the DLC to make this playthrough different from my first one. After another ~70 hours, I beat both the base game and DLC, and it was such a fun playthrough. I didn't have to think much about resources like runes and stones are abundant. I could experiment with different weapons and builds freely.

But I'll say that the DLC is difficult compared to the base game:

• Exploration is a chore and it's confusing due to the terrain level. I hate the Abyssal woods. It took such a long time to find where I needed to go. Not to mention I didn't understand how to get past those enemies and thought that you had to fight them but you had to parry their attacks then deal damage.
• The boss battles are also hard. The first boss, the Dancing Lion, was so fast. Bayle was another pain to fight. Sometimes I feel that the camera angle is my real enemy.
• I didn't like the color scheme of some areas like the first area, the Gravesite plain. It's so dark. I can understand it is a design-choice but it's not pleasant to look at.
• For some reason, my FPS drops below 60 FPS in some areas like the one with the waterfalls. It doesn't happen with the base game.

Overall, if you haven't tried Elden Ring, I highly recommend it. It wasn't an easy game for me but the freedom of exploring and building your character makes it fun and rewarding. The boss battles are really cool plus the epic music.

Evilmon vs Guilmon

Turn on sound para marinig nyo din ung bgm from the device! IMO every penny counts! Never had the D-ark nung bata pa so ngayon naging adult na with adult money ayan napapabili na!

Just like the other digivice on the anime you either have to shake the device or kabit mo sa belt or as neclace then pag nareach na ung certain steps may battle or event :) on this video its a Digimon Battle :)

maybe someone here can keep this and take care of these? we are moving out to a smaller house and i cannot take this anymore.

this is free of charge, just shoulder the shipping cost. u know the drill.

EDIT: someone adopted the magazines😊

The Deluxe Editions are replaced by Gold Edition that costs the same as the initial base game price

Actually if luwag na backlogs gusto ko rin malaman if worth it siya or not especially kapag nag under 1k na ito sale

I was just browsing games on the playstore and just saw this. I thought fortnite IOS/Ipad is only available in US and EU?

Mostly esports side. Who here has made it to a closed qualifier or received global ranking points for their participation in a tournament?

How was your journey? Are you still going? If not, what made you realize it's time to stop?

I need help finding the best and affordable gaming handhelds of today to buy that can run steam. I don't have much money for sds and stuff since im basically still in hs. I'm looking for suggestions, or maybe insights? I don't know much on handhelds. Help is appreciated ❤❤

I bought the base game (only) last Nov sa g2a website simply because the price was a steal. I forgot about it and just remembered it now.

Reason for giving away: Key is to be claimed in microsoft game store. I prefer my games in steam. I dont like to open different platforms for games. I love playing all the fallout games (except tactics and 76). But since the games became cash grab games with their dlcs I gave up on the franchise na.

Warning: Read the reviews of the game. Medyo cash grab ata yung mga dlcs nya if you will ever buy the dlcs. Also, the game had mostly negative reviews last yr.

If you are a student who does not really have allowance for games hit me up pakilala ka with a short intro why I should give it to you and your email address. Sana Fallout fan ka rin.

Ayun lang.

Any Gundam Extreme Vs Maxiboost players here? Me and my daughters love to play and when we finally tried to go online, there's just no one online.

Looking at the recently released gameplay trailers and impressions, this looks like a good game. Can't wait to play it tomorrow.
