/vr/ - Retro Games

Is this the most overvalued, overrated game in history? It's too short, the random battles get infuriatingly annoying, and the story is a typical Jap Star Wars rip off. I really don't get the appeal other or understand why it's so popular other than Saturnfags hyper exaggerating how good it is to cope and I say this as a Saturnfag.

Random encounters fucking ruin this game. I don't like constantly being on edge expecting that WOOOOOOOOSH sound to play any second. I don't like killing one monster, moving literally a foot away only to be assailed by another.

This game... THIS GAME.... kind of sucks.

What do you call Panzer Dragoon Saga?

Is this game really one of the greatest games of all time, or is it just Saturnfags compensating?

I think PDS has wonderful art direction, a surprisingly compelling story for a fifth gen game, a wonderful soundtrack, and an engaging battle system.

That said I found the random battles to be largely annoying, especially in the regions where every 2 seconds you're in another battle with the same enemies. I also think there's too much empty space, exemplified by the tunnels under Uru and ESPECIALLY the Tower. Mostly cookie cutter corridors for miles and miles. I also found the abundance of useless items to be annoying.

Still I vehemently hate JRPGs but I found this one to be overall enjoyable. I've heard it described as "an RPG for people who don't like RPGs" and I would agree with that assessment.
