Do you know what, they will surprise you because it works really well. You use the D-Pad to move and you use the stylus on the bottom screen for your head. Although not perfect, it works really well and the games are decent. I like them anyway 🙂
Hahaha they’re surprisingly good. You use the D-Pad to move and you use your stylus on the bottom screen to look around then you fire with the shoulder button. Surprisingly good
Yo man. Your channel popped up while i was scrolling YT. Love the vid and glad you liked my hometown Scarborough 😊. You're right, its a great place to live. Sometimes you can find some real gems in the Market Vaults too. Will keep watching, like your chilled delivery. Subbed m8.
Yeah we love Scarborough, we’d happily move there too. Ah I have seen the market vaults but just assumed it was food stall etc. Glad you liked the vid and I hope you enjoy my future content. Thank you for the sub 🙂👍
Days Gone is another one that passed me by, not really my kind of thing to be fair. Ooooooo a big win with Blitz, though I much prefer my NFL games to be a bit more realistic (bizzarely I prefer my racing games to be morr unrealistic - go figure). I tried Kingdom Hearts because if anything is going go get me into RPG games it will be a Disney crossover.....but no 😢 Good stuff mate 😊👍🐻
Looks like you picked the right weekend for it mate, weather looked fantastic. Arctic Thunder looks like good fun. Must just be me left in the world to pick up Phantom Crash then 😂 Am sure I have seen Advent Rising somewhere recently....or I could just be making that up. I do keep my eyes open for Xbox games when I can. Some nice finds there mate 😊👍🐻
It was glorious in Scarborough mate, me and the kids always go around my birthday. Hahaha not played Phantom Crash yet so hang fire because it might be crap 😂 If you see Advent Rising for cheap then definitely pick it up, it’s got an interesting history. Thanks for watching Bear
Glad you had a great time in Scarborough mate, shame you didn't score so well in the shops. Wanted alien homnid for ages, but when i finally got it I was really disappointed. Had advent rising for years... never played it 😂. Great pick ups.
Ah mate it’s just my luck in charity shops but then most are just run as businesses now so it’s hard to find anything. Awww man don’t say that, I love the art style of alien Hominid. I’m thinking of doing a review of it
I need to get into the ys series for sure! Good pickup on that and the ff legends game. Never played that either. Yeah I'm missing ibiza as well lol! It's has a affect on me it seems 😅😂
Yeah the Ys games are decent….the ones I’ve played anyway. The FF Legends games are really good for the Gameboy, highly recommended. Hahaha I bet you was a state after that trip to Ibiza 😂
Scarborough looked nice Alex, I'm hoping you sped up the cliff railway footage as the cats looked rapid🤣 I think Arctic Thunder is ok to be honest, not as good as Hydro but not terrible Alien Hominid looked really good, never seen that running before, have seen the box about but never picked it up to look at it👍
Scarborough is beautiful mate, go every year and we love it. Haha I had to slow the footage down 😳🤣 I’m sure Arctic Thunder can’t be as bad as the reviews make out, but I haven’t played it yet. Alien Hominid looks great, I really like the art style. I may have to do a review on it. Hope you’re well mate
Cex seems like a highlight, with 2 new Ys games coming out within the next year it's a good pickup @£15 Ys celceta is a remake of the 4th game in the series.. it was released on PS4 but quite limited in EU.. really good limited edition through Xseed in the US :)
CEX is our only retro store in the UK really except a few indie stores but yeah they are usually decent. Thanks for the save on Ys, I did read that it was after 2nd game on the Turbo Graphix but I wasn’t 100% sure. I’ll keep an eye out for the PS4 version 👍 Thanks for watching 🙂
@@GriffosRetroGaming if you wish to get more into Ys. 1/2 on psp/ds.. us only Ys iii.. released on all modern in 2025 Ys iv.. celceta Ys v.. unreleased outside Japan.. unpopular Ys vi.. psp/PS2 Everything else PS4/switch.. Ys X announced later this year with awesome CE
Game in Stockton.. literally just around the corner from me in the North East lol Alien Hominid is a great cartoon run and gun game 😎👍 used to be one of my favs on the original XBox..
For those Xbox one UK/EU collectors.. World of Final Fantasy Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD (best version.. no Rng probs like on PS4) Final Fantasy XII Dragon Quest XI All got Physical US releases :) Hope this helps
Oh yeah you’re American aren’t you. CEX did have a couple of stores in the US but soon closed. Sadly for us in the UK it’s one of the few companies that sell retro and the Independent stores are disappearing too. Thanks for watching mate 👍
@@GriffosRetroGaming Yes my wife and I live in Ohio near Toledo. We do have a very nice local retro store here in Bowling Green called Rockem Sockem and we're lucky to be friends with the owner. He helps organize a couple of conventions each year and we always volunteer to help him. I get to help test the games that come in to the store too which is super cool for me. That way I get to see what's coming in and he knows he's selling games that work. He hates testing because it takes forever and he has better things to do but I don't mind.
Cheers Alex, was great to meet you at last! It was a fun couple of hours and hopefully do it again sometime if you're up for it. You did get some great games. Cheapest place without postage added on woukd still be the game collection though for the royal edition on switch, at £31.95. I should have bought a couple, like bravely default 2 from cash converters and days gone I think as well
Looked like a decent CEX, although you spent far too long looking at the ps4 💩. I bought overlord for the same reason... it's not 😂 🤣. All the rest was far too modern for me mate.
Couldn’t believe it in a cash generator to be 50p. Good to hear about Chant, shocked it was £8 to be fair. I bottled playing as St Mirren by the way, I will next though, I fancied managing in Germany as they have no restrictions on foreign players 🤷♂️
@@GriffosRetroGaming I check on the app every now and then and Whitefriargate jumped from about 20 to 70. Loads of racing games, so might have been from one person trading in.
I don't remember giving you permission to go into scunny 😂 Days gone is an absolute banger. The zombie hordes are insane, Infamous is great to. Some of the finest playstation games there🎉 Bioshock infinite is great just a lot different than the first 2 The chant isn't like the dark picture games unfortunately, but it's another great game worth playing. Great stuff. They should keep you busy 💪
Hahaha to be fair it’s actually better than I thought in Scunny. I went once before to play John Leggett College at football (we won 10-1) 😂 Glad you mentioned Infamous because I actually wanna play more PS exclusives. I’m balls deep in Zelda TOTK at the moment though. Cheers Eddie, I hope you’re well mate 👍
Some fantastic pickups their mate, 8:06 You can't go wrong for 50P mate, 11:42 Kingdom Hearts 3 is a fantastic game mate And I love dragon quest 11 , 15:20 Nice to see you taking a chance on the chance 😂 Great stuff mate I hope you're enjoying the summer so far
Cheers Marc Yeah 50p was an amazing find. I’ve looked at a few reviews and Kingdom Hearts looks amazing only if you’ve not played them all then you’ll not know the story….apparently. I’m off work this week so I’m having a nice time thank you. Still need to check your channel out, I will get to it 👍
Enjoyed Days Gone initially but gave up after numerous hours put into it as it felt like just the same stuff repeated over and over again 🤔 enjoyed it for a chunk of time initially though 👍
Mate if you don’t enjoy Days Gone there is something wrong with you. It’s a slow burn to be fair, but once it ramps up and you get better weapons it really comes into its own. A classic for sure. I’ve heard good things about The Chant to be fair. I think Ross and Gordon said it was good from memory. Oh and Happy Birthday fella.
Yeah, I use an older HD TV/3D but I have an HDMI for the Xbox. This is good for the few games that play in 720 and 1080. The TV isn’t too good that the Xbox looks blurred but a CRT would be better. The screen recording was done through HDMI on an El Gato recorder (if that helps)
Good pickups there Alex! I regret not going for the 2 for 15 as I could have got a couple of PlayStation hits 😔 I've got those 3 hits for you whenever you're ready 👌
Yeah it’s my favourite resident evil, it just clicked for me. Max Payne 3 was good too, the slo mo never got old and New Vegas was incredible, just a shame about the bugs
Nice grabs as always matey.. and nice to see you back with another vid 😁👍 I've still not played through Resi 5 yet.. wasn't a game I was in a rush to play as heard a lot of negative reviews about it.. maybe it's time I put it on and found out for myself lol
Ok I’m gonna shock you here, Resi 5 is one of the only Resi games that I actually like! I do need to play all the remasters though. I just couldn’t get on with the tank controls. Hopefully I’ll get some more videos done soon 🙂
Oh good god no 😬 I always accidentally touch it slightly when playing that I have to disable it where I can. Played FIFA on the vita and you just run down the wing and you accidentally touch the back panel and send a shot towards the opposite corner flag 😂 I’ll still give it a go though 😂
@@GriffosRetroGamingI’ve tried as well 😢 I really like that you can play ps4 through your vita, but it would always depend on whether the game relied heavily on those buttons… seems like a missed opportunity from Sony
Nice set of pick ups mate, you do like your big swordy, slashy games dont you? 😁👍 Its weird because ive never been a massive fan of tomb raider yet i absolutely loved the Uncharted series. Maybe im being unfair to it because im just remembering the blocky days of the PS1 where it was hard to see ledges and stuff 😂 i must admit, ive seen jo play the newer ones and they do look good 😁👍 All the best mate
Oh hell yeah I love swordy slashy games haha Just on Tomb Raider, have you played the reboots because they are better than the original ones….like much better.
Nice pickups griffo buddy 😃I enjoyed the amazing spiderman. Max Payne 3 I absolutely loved 😊 that lords of the fallen game has always interested me bud. I defo want to try tiny Tina's wonderlands aswel after seeing the footage bud
Cheers Steve I’m a big fan of the Borderlands games (Pre-sequel not so much) so Tiny Tina’s was a no brainier for a fiver. It turns out I have played Spiderman before on the Vita and it’s pretty good. Hope you’re well buddy
Great range of pickups. You can't say no to 50p games, that's a great deal. Did you not see the 50% off deal on pre-owned games in GAME? I spent a fortune this month as 50% off was too good to resist. Gold2th on RU-vid managed to find some that he traded in immediately for double his money. I didn't find anything quite that cheap, just got games I wanted to play at a great price. My local GAME still has some games left but mostly xbox and lego games. I must have been in to GAME 8 times this month and never seen anyone else looking at the xbox one shelf.
