What do you guys think of the Panzer Dragoon series?

>> No.853647

I have been interested in getting into them for a while now.

What does /vr/ recommend as a starting point?

>> No.853649

>>853647
Orta is probably the best place to start; it's cheap, and easy to find online. Once you start hitting up the Saturn games get ready to toss out those dollary-doos.

If you want to stay /vr/, play them in release order. Saga is pretty highly praised and has RPG elements.

If you want, you can start with Orta, but that's on the Xbox.

also this. expensive unless you emulate

>> No.853663

>>853649
Orta also has the original one as an unlock for a certain amount of play time.

>> No.853671

And Saturn emulation is ass.

Did not know that. I'll have to actually pick up a copy now.

Saturn emulation was nearly perfect ten goddamn years ago. The only problem with it is the two best Saturn emulators are closed-source magic black boxes, and now we have to reinvent the goddamn wheel so people will be able to play Saturn games on systems that don't support WinNT binaries.

Somehow, I think I'll be fine.

I have all of the PD console games, but the only one I've played is Saga. It was a decent enough game, but not worth the price I paid for it.

If you had this, I've be crazy impressed.

That is why I specified console. I don't have the R-Zone game either.

>> No.853769

has to be one of the most over rated series ever, it gets jerked off way too much for being starfox with dragons

>> No.854327

>>853769
All it has in common with Star Fox is being a rail shooter, and SEGA had been making rail shooters LONG before Star Fox came along.
It would probably be more appropriate to call it Galaxy Force with the ability to face 4 different directions.

Don't know how well it emulates, but you could always try SEGA Ages 2500 Vol. 27 for PS2.

Panzer Dragoon 1 IS on the PC and looks better than any of the other versions (Even the ORTA unlock)

Did anyone ever get Saga working on an emulator?

>> No.854865

>>854850
Doesn't it work just fine on SSF?

>> No.854881

does no one think as an alternative to buying the games (expensive) or emulating them (saturn has the worst emulation for 5th generation), that you could spend a fair amount of money to put in a modchip on a regular saturn?
since i got mine in 07 ive got like 400+ saturn games (yeah, its my favorite system).
my brother bought saga back when it came out and i remember it looked so fuckin cool. zwei is good too.

GET SSF
