Didn’t they produce a lot of content in the Vita modding scene?

I’m not surprised. TheFloW has done this before with PS4/5 exploits . A lot of players don’t update their firmware in the hopes they’ll be able to run something like HEN.

Grand Theft Auto IV gave players choice with actions instead of dialogue but I feel like the end result was similar to Cyberpunk.

Characters you decide not to kill will often help you for a bit but it doesn’t drastically effect the story. You still hit a notable point of no return that only really comes into play at the very end.

Personally that feels more like an adventure game. I don’t think Cyberpunk is very unique in what it did.

I feel like you could say that about most games though. I wouldn’t say Cities Skylines is an RPG but you are fulfilling the role of a mayor. Chirper adds to the immersion aspect but I don’t think that’s enough to shift the genre.

Maybe it’s a hot take though. Kind of similarly I wouldn’t call F.E.A.R. a horror game. I’d say it’s an FPS with horror elements.

How so? To mean it felt like Grand Theft Auto IV. You go around doing jobs for individuals and get thrown a handful of choices and possible romance options along the way but it still feels very linear.

Maybe it’s because I associate roleplaying with the idea of player choice but I really don’t think it added a ton to the RPG aspect. World depth? Sure but not by much.

Good point. I had forgotten about disabling network access. I think a majority of the games I paid for work off the idea that if you connect a few times or have a certain amount of plays times you can then play offline. Well the ones that check that is.

Maybe I’ll give this a go. Thanks for the advice

What data would be sent off having Google Play services installed? I get that you can disable certain permissions and can also use profiles.

Ideally I wouldn’t want to use profiles. I could use something like Shelter on a rooted device but that kind of slows down multitasking

Thanks but I’m shooting for as little contact with Google as possible

I’ve tried lucky patcher with a few games with minimal luck. I haven’t tried it with Stardew Valley though so maybe there’s a chance
