What's the best way to play Soul Reaver? Should I play the PC version off GOG, or should I get the psx version and emulate it on my phone?

Using aTouchscreen control pad for any kind of action game is the worst. If you have a decent game pad for your PC, you should go with that.

All of the versions are good, as in there isn't a poor one, really. They are different (like the Dreamcast version has slightly different VFX and a high framerate) but note "different", not "worse".

I would personally recommend the PS1 original on a PS3/2/1 etc., because one of Soul Reaver's major selling points was that it was a technical marvel:

>> Large environments
>> Smooth framerate
>> Great visuals
>> NO LOADING SCREENS (the whole game streamed)

A modern version loses some of that, a bit.

TL;DR, play any of them.

That was talking about FF, which we all know is a wanking war especially for version differences.

no, its talking about games in general, the OP just happened to use FF for his picture since its the one people complain about the most.

That was the problem though. FF is basically the to /vr/ what console wars is to /v/. OP led in with bait, with or without knowing. The DQ version thread was way better and did it's job for example.

You could have a whole wiki about FF versions made specifically for /vr/ and we would still derail and make threads bitching about what the best version is.

Emulate the DC version

Bought it on GOG a few years back, it plays fine. Make sure you have a controller.
