    The ASCII Grip is my favorite peripheral. It's great because you can relax when playing an RPG. You don't have to be in the lean-forward gamer position. You can lean back, put one hand behind your head, eat Cheeto's, put one arm around your honey. It just gives you some freedom so that you don't have to have both hands occupied.

    "....your playstation is upside down, because it's overheating, because it's a pile of shit" holy fuck I nearly spat my drink out when Ryan said that line. As someone who's first console that was bought with their own money (mom got me the NES/SNES before that) with shitty high school jobs, damn if that line didn't hit me in the soul. I had my PS1 on its side for a good while before it eventually completely stopped reading discs due to the laser lens warping.

    @AgentMorgan2010 3 года назад +1

    Whatever. Clock Tower (PSX) was awesome. Sure, there was some esoteric stuff, but given its clear 90's PC point-and-click adventure set-up, it was par for the course. It's intentionally designed so that you don't figure it out and get the best ending in the first go. That's what the hint system was for, and it's actually a really short game. So, going _all the way back_ to the beginning is really not that long or crazy of a proposition. It was before the days of youtube, so players had to actually _play_ to see all the possible alternate endings and outcomes. And back in the day, it was very suspenseful. It was like an interactive slasher flick. There was nothing like it at the time (except for the original that never got a Western release), and there was a lot of cool gags and kills and whatnot. You also didn't necessarily figure out at first that hiding in the same place twice was going to result in Scissor Man finding you and automatic death.
    If it's not your kind of game, it's not your kind of game. But it's certainly not a bad game for what it is. It's been years since I've played it, so I'm not altogether sure how well it holds up now as far as the fluidity of the controls or whatnot. It wasn't a looker graphically, even back then. But if you're a horror game fan, it's worth playing.
