I must admit, the last half seems a bit scrambled with all the smaller areas that you have to visit. I wouldn't say it's too short though.

This is ps1 for me

/r/ing obscure gems

>>395029
Fuck yes. Tekken 3 and Soul Blade are also great too.

Rather than greening what I said, mind making a rebuttal?

I've been messing around with Advanced Variable Geo 2 and Pepsiman after seeing them mentioned here and they're both pretty good.

Anyone know if Aconcagua can be completed without being able to read moon? I know most of the voiceovers are already in english.

You made the claim, the responsibility is yours

>>395029
Literally defined my childhood. Didnt get into pic related until a year or two ago but holy shit what have i missed out on all these years

>>395087
Play the dc version of soulblade you won't be able to go back to the ps1 version after that

Is it stupid to buy Exoddus before Oddysee?

Yes, I know the cover art is gay but this game is seriously a masterpiece

Its an rpg with a unique real-time battle system. Very accessible unlike most rpgs, i recommend it to anyone

>>395274
I hate how only the sequel was released as PAL.

>>395274
Pausing every time you want to attack counts as real-time?

Anyway, I thought the game was a bit mediocre.Too many empty areas, repetitive combat and vagrant story is the same thing but better.

>>395302
I keep hearing about that game but havent played it yet. Its hard to believe how godly squaresoft used to be in the 90s. Now theyre barely holding on by a thread

>>395291
Ehhh? I saw the first in a shop about a decade and some change back.

>>395271
You'll definitely want to play Oddysee first simply because of dat atmosphere and the fact that you'll appreciate the improvements in the sequel much more.

>>395271
Not really, unless you want to know how Abe can open up the mother of all whupass cans under certain conditions.

No European release date

Well I was able to take down most anything by pulverizing it with the hammer, the puzzles weren't too bad, and the only difficult thing was navigating the otherworld because of inverted locks. The boss fight at the merry go round is pretty tough if you don't get the chemical which is fairly hidden. Other than that, I just found it easy, completed it in a night.

Also, the final boss, what a fucking joke.

>>395353
Huh, I could've sworn I saw it.

*GULP*
CHIKKIN

>>395375
You probaly saw the second one

for some reason the critics shit all over it, but I loved the sequel too

>>395405
Unlikely, I didn't know there was a sequel at all until recently. Guess it was an import that wound up on the pile.

>Snowboard Kids
>Diddy Kong Racing
>Goldeneye
>Body Harvest
>WWF Warzone
>Shadow of the Empire
>ISS Superstar Soccer

>shitting on Alundra
Good puzzles, good music, decent combat, tons of different areas, and pretty fucking dark to boot. My only criticism is those puzzles in the desert area, what a pain.

>>395457
they shit on the sequel, not the original

>>395480
Oh, I've not played the sequel but the common consensus is that it's not as good as the first at all.

How bout this gem? i'd be hard pressed to find someone on the block who remembers this one.

Still catching up on PS1 titles because I had an N64 as a kid.

So far my favorite is Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

I punched Philemon and I would do it again.

>>395487
I played it right when it came out so I don't really remember it very well, I just remember enjoying it alot and thinking it didn't deserve the negative scores it was getting. IIRC it had nothing to do with original at all, if they would have just called it something different and people wouldn't compare it to the original I think it would have found more fans

>>395613
forgot pic

It's not the best 2.5D shooter but it's definitely worth a playthrough

>>395573
I played the Alundra 2 as a child without playing the first and I loved it.

fucking Acclaim, remember all the good games they did until they fucked up and died

those XG3 racing games on the n64!!!

>>395363

The dread and uneasiness of the game kind of fucked with my gameplay, making it seem a lot harder than it really was. Being "survival horror" I'd say that is a good thing (though I guess if you aren't nervous/unnerved the game could come across as easier). I think SH3 handled the enemies and weapons a lot better, making it preferable to run from most hostility (since the enemies were more tedious and you generally sucked at using your weapons). SH1 is still my favorite game in the series and it created quite an unforgettable experience when all is said and done.

i agree with this fine gentleman
