    Overly long RPGs will continue to be made as long as consoomers demand "bang for buck" type games over quality. "This game is 60 dollars on day one, therefore it needs hundreds of hours of content for me to CONSOOM!" etc

    • @FiresideGamingReviews
      @FiresideGamingReviews 2 дня назад

      I generally like to get at least $1 per hour of entertainment, but that's not a hard rule and I take into account potential replays. So if a good RPG is 30 to 60 hours long that's plenty for me.

      @@FiresideGamingReviews - Nah. I'd rather not mess around with a PS2 emulator when I have a functional PS2 and over 500 games in my library to check out. Sad part is I was planning on doing a Let's Play for it. Oh well, I can always play other games involving giant robots like Transformers, Eureka Seven, MS Saga: A New Dawn, and so on.

    • @FiresideGamingReviews

      I get ya. I mostly stick to real hardware as well. Transformers is lots of fun. Never played Eureka but loved the anime. Picked up MS Saga a couple years ago and haven't played it yet. Either way, hope you find something fun for your Let's Plays.

    • @thesacredlobo
      @thesacredlobo 6 дней назад

      @@FiresideGamingReviews - I'd say the Eureka Seven games are rather mediocre since they include three/four modes of play. The first one is giant robot combat which tends to boil down circle strafe and unleash your most powerful weapon on your enemy. The second mode is a racing system centered around the player riding a ref board. The third is a hand and gun combat system for your pilot which comes up in a few story missions and finally you have air combat which differs enough from ground combat to be it's own category in my opinion. And the sequel introduces a few missions where the game turns into a rail shooter as well. MS Saga: A New Dawn is a turn-based RPG. So it's definitely stands out from most of the other games in the Mobile Suit games. And I've completed Let's Plays for all three of them in the past. Though I recently decided to revisit Eureka Seven which probably includes a cut scene that should be more infamous where your character is threatened with death if he fails to answer correctly on how a true man wipes his bum.

    • @FiresideGamingReviews
      @FiresideGamingReviews 21 день назад

      Response time on the Steam versions are largely comparable to the Anthology collection. That's where I started playing Metal Slug games, so it feels normal to me. If you played them in arcades back in the day you might notice some slight difference. It does have slowdown when lots of enemies are onscreen, but that's normal as it mimics the original release (like Mega Man X in Armored Armadillo's stage.) As someone who can't stand playing the SNES MMX games in Capcom's Legacy Collection because of the poor response times, I've had no issue playing the Steam Metal Slug releases.

    I was never big on tactics but I loved tactics advance. Possibly because I played advance first, possibly because of how young I was when I was introduced to both. Playing back through advance now with the help of an adult mind and the internet and it’s better than I remember. Funny story, I almost gave up on this game because I didn’t realize you could assign more than one team member to a fight so I spent HOURS trying to kill all those bombs with just Montblanc and thought the game was just impossibly difficult

    Anyway, list of games: Ridge Racer - great game! Sadly, this was one of the first RRs to start the trend of the first half of the races being too easy to win to pad out the length. Once it gets faster and harder..... it plays excellently. Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts - recently picked this up myself. Whenever I feel the need to punish myself... Dark Stalkers - Loved the 3rd title on PSX. Avoided this for so many years as many said that the controls sucked on the PSP, but when I did pick it up, turns out I had little problem. Kingdom Hearts - the only one in the series I've every played. Didn't understand anything and didn't like the controls. Only bought it about 2 or 3 years ago, so this wasn't likely to have interested me. But for 200yen, thought I'd give it a go. Final Fantasy Tactics - Classic. I still play this every other month to this day. It should be mandatory for every RPG fan to play this game. Valkyrie Profile - despite owning it... 3 times, I've never played it. Just too daunting considering what I know about it. Just not the time to dedicate to this. Gundam - no idea about this one. Monster Hunter - didn't gel with me. Completely because I tried it sole. And I don't really like Hunter games. Final Fantasy - Never played. Crisis Core - I have owned this for years but have never played. Maybe it's because I've always disliked how FF7 was milked after being taken over by Enix. I'll take your word that it's the best game out there, but I doubt I'll ever play through this. As for my games that I played on it back in the day - All the Tenchu titles (3 in total, I think). I love this series, though admittedly have played it too much now Disgaea - a must play if you like TRPGs Everybody's Tennis / Hot Shots Tennis - my personal favourite game on the console. Would like to play someone multiplayer with this. I highly recommend you check this one out if you ever find it. The golf games are great too, but I recommend you get Everybody's Golf / Hot Shots Tennis on the Vita instead. Wipeout Pure - my second favourite Wipeout, after the original on the Saturn. The soundtrack is sublime, the courses are excellently designed, it's super fast, and controls like a dream. I love Ridge Racer, but this one crowns as the best racer, at least on launch Sega Rally Revo - This one grew on me. Fantastic little game that was never likely to be a big success, yet the devs put a lot of effort into this. Not just a straight port of the main 360 title. They reworked this with new tracks, and different yet very satisfying controls. By the way, I love your segways between games. Well written! Also, been commenting on your videos for months, but just realised I never subscribed! Just fixed that.

    • @FiresideGamingReviews
      @FiresideGamingReviews Месяц назад

      Thanks for subbing! And I appreciate the segway compliment too! I've not played Tenchu outside the multiplayer on PS2, but picked up the PS1 games recently. I've played through a few of the Disgaea games (1,2,D2) and enjoyed each of them. I want to cover them on the channel eventually. No idea about tennis or golf games. I've only ever played the PS1 Wipeout but it's a series I'm interested in seeing more of. Also have no experience with Sega Rally games.

The 4th and last one is called Gundam Battle Universe, and features a lot more MS, up to Char’s Counterattack, and side UC stuffs as well like Gundam Sentinel, F91 and Hathaway’s Flash (the novel version from 1989).
