A god awful game

You won't get past the 1st castle with the murlocs without a guide

10fps

Incredibly clunky and slow PS2 first-person tank controls

Pretty much everything Fromsoft made before Demon's Souls is really bad.

Probably one of fromsofts weakest games, but still worth checking. It has a couple of cool moments the especially the final area/ending.

I would advise to check for a guide for the ring of magic locations and ring crafting mechanics, to minimize backtracking and grinding for magic gems.

Do you want the pnach file too?
https anonfiles com/X6weI1H5x9/not_dolphin_porn_7z
Here are a compilation of codes I found online. There's QoL for KFIV, Shadow Tower Abyss and Eternal Ring.
Codes includes widescreen, 60FPS, movement modifier and dual analog support when available. Just comment in/out the QoL you want with a text editor (but they should already be preconfigured so you can use them "as is" in pcsx2).
For Shadow Tower Abyss, go to the option and set widescreen on and choose controller configuration 4 for native dual analog support.

I played the fuck out of all 3 Echo Night games, a couple of the the King's Field games including the one on PS2, and Elden Ring before I picked up a Soul's game.
The first 2 EN games are superb. 3 is not so great IMO.
KF games are good, but frustrating.
ER was not satisfying, I'd rather play through an EN game again.

I played the PS4 version and you seem to move a lot faster than I remember being possible in the original PS2 release. So that's my preferred way to play it. That said, I got filtered hard at the boss in the secret dungeon and haven't picked it back up since.

stupid.
Anyway, to all of you who replied with their asses brunt: I didn't say these series and its fans didn't exist, I said actual fromdrones as they exist today didn't yet, that happened with the boom of Dark Souls.
You know very well none of the other From series became as mainstream as Dark Souls.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 14 06:20:07 2022 No.8626880 >>8618354 I like it. It's not great, but it has that FromSoftware sparse ambience, so if you're in the mood for that, you might enjoy it too. I also found the ending weird and interesting >I get it. This is... >DEATH

What the absolute fuck of a game.

There are two towns in this game, and they are both in the first hour of the game, and one you can miss completely. There are no other towns, meaning, if you don't stock up on healing items, you will either backtrack for 30 minutes or squeeze everything out for the rest of the game. And, there are like 5 swords in the game, meaning, if you don't buy the sword in the town, you will be stuck with a shitty sword until 75% of the way through the game (unless you want to backtrack 5 areas).

Exploration is dog's ass. They kinda trick you by putting a really annoying poisonous maze in the beginning, but the rest is a straight line. There's some illusion of an interconnected area, because there's a "hub" about 75% into the game, but it's poorly done and unnecessary and confusing.

Ring/Magic crafting makes no sense. It's always near a save point, meaning it's begging you to just reload your save if you don't like what you crafted. And if you're going to do that, you might as well just look up how to make rings with a guide. And when you do that you find there is no nuance to crafting, just literally 4 tiers single elemental spells. There's no combining magic or properties. You'll find that it's incredibly simple to craft the good spells relatively early, meaning you'll be overpowered for most of the game. There are status spells, but I can't think of any reason to use them. Of course, that doesn't mean the game is easy, as you're fighting the controls half the time, but you already know you're getting into this since it's From.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 14 15:31:06 2022 No.8628072 One of the worth games I've played on the PS2. You'll like it if you're into those "soulsborne" abominations, though.

Honestly the controls never bothered me much, I liked the unique feel it gave, I also think in the past people used to be much more open to unusual control schemes in general, but if it really bothers you that much you can always play the PSP versions of AC3 and Silent Line (plus Last Raven, the PSP version lets you transfer your save over from SL) in PPSSPP and map the controls to a dual analog controller.
