I know there's a huge list of total games unavailable, but do you guys have opinions on which huge notable PS1 games didn't become available on PSN? Tony Hawk 1 and 2 are off the top of my head as ones I would have loved.

Legend of Legaia
SaGa Frontier
Any Ace Combat games
Armored Core Project Phantasma/Master of Arena
Brave Fencer Musashi
Ehrgeiz
Any King's Field games
I don't know if the Fear Effect games stood the test of time but those aren't on there
Any number of other games that were based of the THPS engine back during that boom

And probably a dozen or more other games I can't think of right now

Yeah, the amazon prime free release day delivery and discount are great.

I'm definitely not complaining about the glut of releases. I'd love it even more if a new job wasn't making me travel four more hours per day than I had to previously.

SAO is really bad right? As an anime and as a game.

The anime is ludicrously bad but the Hollow games are fun if you're into the faux MMO thing.

The other one is more action RPG sort of thing and is kinda just boilerplate at best.

Yeah that comparison video seems weird because the example they used for the Original PS4 seems like an insanely extreme case, I've never had issues like that.

Well, I guess if nothing else, it shows that if it can handle extreme circumstances that you won't see on the regular it can handle the normal occasional drops with room to spare.

Momodora is worth the price but instant death spikes in a Metroidvania can gently caress off and die.

It's a good approximation of the Dark Souls experience in 2-D, but La Mulana remains the best at that.

La Mulana is hardly Dark Souls-y. It's much more of an Indiana Jones simulator than anything.

Or a Maze of Galious simulator I guess.

*cough* FromSoft

Remember that From gave us Nine Breaker. And even though I love it I'm not gonna pretend that it (or Project Phantasma if I'm being honest) were particularly heavy on content.

Of course then again they also have poo poo like for Answer and Last Raven which are both pretty much glorious apologies for doing horrible things so I guess I can cut them some slack.

I don't know that most fighting game fans want their scene to look like dota's, though.

What fighting game fans REALLY want is people who haven't touched a game on a level beyond "Oh, I know how to do inputs" talking like they have a perfect idea to 'fix' fighting games, and if they didn't have to spend those pesky minutes learning motions or tricksy finger puzzles, they could definitely win a major now that those arbitrary execution barriers are out of the way.

This. If you live near a weekly scene and like fighting games you should go check it out at least once. Odds are you'll be welcomed personally by the organizer, get bopped by guys that are really cool about it, get some friendly advice from those same guys, then you'll all go out for wings and make fun of the smelly dudes in the corner that played Smash all night.

Doesn't matter what you play, just go out there and meet some chill people and punch each other virtually.

Seriously. This is the best thing you can possibly do if you are even a hint interested. Go out and play people, because the people you're going out and playing with want you to get better since it helps them get better. If you're willing to learn, dedicated, and open minded to trying new stuff out, there is not a single fg group that will reject you. Yeah, it'll take practice, both in group and privately, but it's a lot easier to learn with a group of people who want to help.

It's just very easy to get on the edge and bitter because people who didn't take those steps complaining that <thing> needs to be fixed is just so everpresent, be it a mechanic, character, or the industry as a whole.

FF2 gave us SaGa, therefore I'm obligated to love it.

Any other FF game is scored on the scale of high fantasy versus semi-modern stuff with some magic going on maybe.

If FF8 would have just been about the adventures of Laguna, Kiros, and Ward. I don't think anyone here would argue that it would have been the best game in the series hands down.

This is the FF equivalent of saying MGS2 was ruined by Raiden being the main character.

In all honesty, MGS2 was a game I was really down on in the beginning, and it took a few months for me to really get what it was going for on even the most basic level. Like, this was before I even understood the whole commentary and narrative on games and sequels as a whole.

My appreciation for it has only grown over time, and it keeps fighting with MGS1 for my favorite spot as I find new things to like about both.

There was another game a while back that had a demo that was just the full game. I can't remember what it was, I think it was a rhythm game thing? I remember being locked out of it a few days after the error, so it's definitely not the first time they've done something like that.

I didn’t realize it was $50 :( I’m sure it’s worth it but $20 or so would’ve been a way better price to see if I like it or not

It's a fully featured game with a huge tracklist and a relatively gentle skill incline working your way up from four buttons to eight. Plus they're going to gradually add other games' tracks that aren't already in the game later on. There's literally no way it could've been $20 without selling a super gutted version.

I tooled around with the demo tonight and it seems cool but I wish I had a better controller for it.

I wish this too, to be honest. I know the home peripheral market kind of died a horrible death between the ps2 and ps3 but man, I could really use a pop'n or iidx controller.

Actually gently caress it, can we get a home pop'n or iidx game?

The problem with adapters is that there's usually a pretty significant input lag, which is unfortunate.

Plugging in a PS360+ PCB would work with PS4 but I don't know what the wiring situation is in those things.

This is wrong and you should probably just drop the subject.

Nah, Adaptability is the worst idea for a stat ever designed. Even before getting into the lovely turnstyle enemies or horrible map design, that alone is enough to put it right at the rock bottom of the list when compared to DeS/BB/etc.

It's cool because FromSoft were clearly aware of where they'd made design mistakes and iterating on them with every release.

FromSoft is often aware of mistakes but they also have a super long history of overcorrecting.

Like just to use Armored Core as an example, they struggled with mobility builds for the entire series, and made huge mistakes in the jump from 2 to 2AA, 3 to 3SL, and the literal entirety of Nexus. You can be aware of a mistake and iterate on it, but that doesn't stop you from making a kneejerk reaction that just makes everyone's lives worse.
