I HATED the way LoM controls. Being stuck facing only left and right in combat when you can normally go all directions just felt like Square wanted to cut corners on animation and it ruined the combat. Also it's way too stupid easy. I killed the final boss in Nightmare mode with two hits from a flail, and it wasn't even crazy forged up.

I do love the storytelling being a bunch of vignettes, the world building and that god tier music though. The game just hurts a little cause of that combat, but I still played through it three times...

>> No.2590880

>>2590801
here's some of what I think are the best, but I'm definitely missing stuff
>Ace Combat 2, 3 (can't fucking wait until the 3JP translation is done, there's so much more of the game that we didn't get)
>Ridge Racer (all of them)
>Mega Man X4
>Crash Team Racing
>Ape Escape
>Silent Bomber (go fucking play this right now)
>Omega Boost (as a fast mech action game, I like it more than fucking Zone of the Enders)
>Klonoa
>Armored Core (all of them)
>Wipeout XL/2097, 3 (ideally, Special Edition but that's PAL only)
>Tekken 3
>really, most of Namco's later entries on the machine are great (their earlier stuff like Air Combat (AC2 shits on it), Cyber Sled (just an eh game), and Starblade Alpha (awful video quality, choppy targeting control) isn't too hot)

and here's some favorites even if I wouldn't put them on an "absolute best of the system" list:
>Sanvein
>Tales of Destiny
>Psychic Force (great with a friend)
>Street Fighter EX2+
>Soukyugurentai (better on Saturn though -- but the earlier version has issues when run on a US Saturn with an Action Replay, since it loads an unfinished localization)
>RayStorm (didn't like it as much as RayForce, but it's still definitely a good game)
>G-Darius (there's a collection with a port of this for the PS2 -- get that if you can instead, this version slows down like a motherfucker)

Depends. Like, Dynamite Deka 1 (Die Hard Arcade) is significantly better than 2 (Dynamite Cop) because you're always facing left/right (but in that game, they naively tried to make a beat-em-up with full 8-way movement but with mechanics like a beltscroller).
In LoM, it definitely feels dumb and I don't know why they did that, unlike in SoM or SD3.

That was what really threw me. I think had it been an all new game it wouldn't have stuck out as much. But I remember playing it for the first time. Everything looked incredible, it was fun and I was hyped and then the first combat happens and everything changed, it was such a what the fuck moment. I do still like the game, but wow how great it could have been with really solid combat.

Another really great PS1 game was Ghost in the Shell. Fantastic action.

was a neat first attempt though, good sense of style and as a fighting game made around the PS1's abilities+limits, it manages to be a bit impressive

>Vagrant Story
Really unique take on the JRPG. Probably one of, if not the best looking PS1 game. A compelling story, and really fun and unique combat system. It has this huge element of isolation and independence since you need to acquire all your items from chests, fallen enemies or crafted via a fairly interesting crafting and weapon customization system, as there are no shops. Pretty lengthy, took me 20 hours casually but I did have to use a guide at points (like the Snowfly forest), and there are a handful of points where you get a key that unlocks doors that are way way back so theres quite a bit of backtracking at times. Its definitely got a high learning curve, but it has very good ingame guides you can utilize.

>Dino Crisis 2
Dino Crisis 1 was pretty meh, its a resident evil clone with dinosaurs and you basically never bother killing stuff because unlike resident evil the dinosaurs respawn. Dino Crisis 2 is completely different. Run and Gun arcade style action. A completely balls to the walls story, lightning fast pacing, gameplay really make it stand out. Its pretty short, I think I beat it in ~4 hours but since its so short it really can be easily replayed, since a 4 hour gaming session while a bit long these days (I usually can get 2 1/2-3 hours) is able to be readily beaten in 1 sitting. There are a few minigames which are pretty fun, and reward you for doing well.

>> No.2591445

>>2591438
>Final Fantasy 7
Theres a reason this is so widely regarded as the best Final Fantasy, and even JRPG. The pacing is great, its rife with fun minigames that rarely overstay their welcome. The scenarios are interesting and engaging, and theres lots to explore and just the right amount of side quests and super bosses. The gameplay is simple, if a bit easy. The exp and money curve is great, and its rare you don't have enough money for new items in shops and are rarely underleveled. Materia is a fantastic system that has a surprising amount of depth. Its really light hearted and a nice game to sit down with for about 15-20hours.

>Armored Core
Kind of the grand daddy of at least the console game Mech genre. Tons of customization options for your AC, including paint and emblems which you can easily drop hours and hours on, maybe even longer then the actual missions. Definitely has a learning curve, as the control scheme is a bit dated, but its a hard and satisfying game, and like I said, customizing your AC and trying out different parts is really fun.

>> No.2591465

>>2591445
>Megaman Legends 1/2
Arguments between which is better, the original or two are pretty much neck and neck. I personally prefer 2 because the actual gameplay, aiming, shooting, locking on, moving, jumping, skating, and the stuff you get, weapons, and what not are better in MML2. MML is a bit more archaic feeling, but definitely enjoyable and Kattelox island where the entire game takes place (as opposed to multiple island in MML2) is super comfy, and rife sidequests and hidden content. I still rank 2 slightly higher, despite the story and setting being not as good, and a few of the dungeons really, really sucking, again, because the gameplay is more appealing.

>Megaman X4
Introduces Zero as a fully playable character, which adds a lot of replayability. Zero is a nice change of pace from the traditional X and gets his own unique moves from the Mavericks you fight. Genuinely solid all around, which good level design, and memorable mavericks, with just the right amount of difficulty. My first game on PS1 and I nostalgia pretty hard for it.

>> No.2591487

>>2591465
>Metal Gear Solid
I believe this to be the "true" beginning of the "cinematic experience" style game, but it has the gameplay to back it up really well. The stealth mechanics at times can be clunky, but you can also play it like an action shooter without too much difficulty. Shadow Moses is probably the single best setting in a Metal Gear game to date, and the characters you meet are all memorable. Gameplay is a bit lacking, due to limitations (like no first person aiming) that are available in the remake (dont play the remake), or teh sequels. Tons of hidden items, and easter eggs to find, as well as your choices mattering/2 endings (although theres a canon ending)

>Final Fantasy Tactics
My childhood defining game. Its story is engaging and interesting, the gameplay is more engaging then traditional JRPG's and the job system is really fun to explore. Its "easy" once you understand the mechanics and what is good and whats not good, but in a first playthrough you will run up against some moderate challenges (Dorter Trade City, Wiegraf battles, etc) that may make you think a bit or change up your tactics. The customization you can give your characters in terms of gear, and abilities is amazing, and adds a lot of depth to the game, although, unfortunately, this is under utilized as you will often be up against the same enemies compositions over and over, which is a real shame.

All the games I posted are my 10/10's on the PS1. Some I hadn't really played until recently (Vagrant Story, Dino Crisis 2, Megaman Legends 2) and others I played during my childhood and again, replayed recently. Theres probably more great games I just haven't really gotten to yet, but I would seriously consider starting with these as they have all been fantastic.

I would say it's somewhat realistic, maiming limbs and making your oponent limp and get weaker as the fight progresses. Also, some stages, IIRC, require that you slowly and honorably defeat your oponent when you can always go for the head and kill him.

Quake 2 is surprisingly decent on PS1. Very, very nice lighting -- maybe too bright and colorful, but it looks really nice. Mostly decent framerate, which it even manages to keep high in 4 player splitscreen.
shame about the retarded sealed-off looking skies that are just some gouraud shaded polygons.

biggest issue is that you can't configure the controls nearly as much as you should
like, why is the left stick turn and move forward/back and the right strafe look up/down and strafe, and why can't you change that
why can't you have type C controls but with d-pad strafe since using triangle+square to look up/down is completely perfect (and it's what I use in Armored Core)

Otherwise, it's a great port.

If you had a fucking friend to play with you would sit them the fuck down and you would play this game until you were both ready to flop over and die.

Fun as shit jesus. Mind you, never played Diablo on PC or any such so maybe I was missing out.

while I agree with most of your points, I really hate it when people use the "it hasn't aged well" argument, since you could really say that about any older game depending on what your standards are, it's completely subjective, it's just a hollow statement meant to discredit things the responder doesn't like.

If you like simulation games, then look no further than Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. This game is also the competitor to Harvest Moon 64 (it was supposed to be a direct copy iirc but it spiraled into it's own thing) and, in my opinion, is the best version. The characters from the 64 version are the same, but have different jobs and personalities (for the most part). Also, the world feels less empty and the rate at which each day goes by isn't as hardcore. This, again, is better. Also the festivals are better and the map is structured better.

Anyhow, this game has it all: (1) crop and livestock husbandry, (2) mining and fishing, (3) good setting and addictive gameplay, (4) good characters, (5) some nice scenery, (6) enjoyable activities, called festivals, like horse racing and henfighting that only help to immerse you more, (7) building your farm from abandonment by improving your buildings and such, and (8) finally dating, marrying, and building a family with your waifu of choice.

There is one annoying issue, however, and that's the load time between areas. It's not too bad once get used to it, but if you played the 64 version first, then that'll hit you hard.

I don't follow how any of this could be trolling?

All I meant was I never played the PC version but the PSX version was a really fun game.

This. People tend to make fun to the wonky Tanner model and movements but always forget about 4 detailed cities, intense action, a cheesy but funny story like a police movie and all those little details which made the game that gem. ESTAMOS LE PISANDO LOS TALONES

You're 100% right, someone can't have more than one two three favorite games, because the great journalism of videogames states that you can't have more than one two three favorite games.

The whole purpose of the term 'favourite' in this context is to select a FEW games, not a list of every great to mediocre game on the system.

Gex is a 3DO game.
I think the point of making a list of favorite games means that they must be exclusive, or at least have some redeeming factor that makes it more worthwhile than the original.

Gex was basically the 3DO's mascot, so I like to play Gex on the 3DO. Also better d-pad.
