The Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series are probably what you’re looking for. Golden age Square JRPGS, especially Xenogears, are also generally great Jrpgs.

I’ve played all the old school Square and Enix stuff. FF6 is my goat.

Someone made a typo in the code, ads show up… Happens all the time

The bug was that it was rolled out prior to when they wanted to roll it out.

They’re definitely gonna try and put ads in there in the future. 😬 Was just comparing experiences with another user here last night about this (they had the ads but I did not) and seeing as they were across the pond from me and don’t even have the hub yet, it’s like they were just testing the waters in a specific region.

you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”. at best its a feature that was being tested internally and never would have made it past that, at worst its something that went live early.

Oh whoops I accidentally built an entire ad portal and placed it onto the main page and oh no I accidentally passed it through multiple levels of code review QA and approval, then crap I deployed it to the test environment then prod

Scolding7300,

I can see how that’s a bug that it got released if the intended purpose was to do a POC and gauge the reaction from some internal testers.

But even then they were POC-ing that, which is terrible

Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.

huquad, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

Guys relax. It’s just a bug. This “feature” doesn’t drop until next month.

saltesc, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

Oh, I thought he was going hard on the trolling, implying the bug was that the ads are broken when offline.

eighty, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

I disagree with the implication that users should “settle down” when faced with user-unfriendly experiences.

User silence is often taken as permission to continue shitty practices that build up overtime. Bloated games that are unoptimized, online subscription to play online, not even fully owning the games, not able to use your own bluetooth headset etc.

This tweet just perpetuates how consumer-hostile nature of these companies. It attempts to play down a potential revenue stream at the expense of UX, subtle gaslight users into thinking this is part of the “over-reactionary culture” when this a perfectly valid criticism, and makes no attempt to be sympathetic about these implications.

Honestly, this has made me swore off a PS5 and future sony consoles. It’s no longer affordable, convenient, or simply. I do love my DS4 controller tho.

aciDC14, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

Ah, yes, just a “bug”.

otp, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

I’m skeptical whether it was really a bug or not, but I could definitely see how it could’ve been just a bug given the description in the OP. Could’ve also been a “happy accident” they were hoping nobody would complain about.

Fiivemacs,

It’s best to not believe companies

Varyag, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

Ah yes it’s always a bug after massive community backlash. If there wasn’t much, it’d have been a test, and if there wasn’t any, it was always intended.

Donjuanme,

Telling gamers to watch out for Hanlon’s razor would open them to too much harsh reflection of their own mistakes.

shneancy,

yes sure it could’ve been a bug, but can we really believe them that it was?

companies are on a quest to pollute our lives with ads, it’s not a stretch to think it’s bullshit when another attempt to do that is being denied with “whoopsie the new guy wrote the code wrong nothing to worry about here!”

shneancy,

ahhh, companies copying homework from bigots’ dogwhistling tactics? what a brave new world we live in

says something bigoted

receives backlash

“haha guys can’t you take a joke? everyone’s so sensitive nowadays”

Zidane,

Them damn wokies can’t take a joke!!!

@heavyboots@lemmy.ml avatar

The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…

gsfraley,

Yeah, too fucking late. Already canceled PS Plus.

lemmylommy, do games w PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug

Don’t you hate it when there is a bug in your code that magically attracts ads? They just appear without warning or reason.

NocturnalMorning,

I hate when I accidently spend months developing an ad feature that gets turned on by accident in my ps5.

I can say the two games that really got me into gaming (Christmas 1998) started with a T.

Tomb Raider 3 Tekken 3

Oh look at that, they were also the 3rd entry.

@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

I remember playing MGS as a kid and thinking “graphics will never get better than this”.

It didn’t age well, but I still think of it as one of the most witchcraft-powered games I’ve ever played. I still can’t believe that they were able to craft such gorgeous environments and fluid, cinematic cutscenes on the PS1.

To his day, it’s still one of my favourite games ever.

Thassodar, (edited )

I said the same thing about Daytona USA. When I booted up a GameCube for the first time and saw PSO I was amazed, although the GC was closer hardware wise to the Dreamcast, which we had.

Grass? Trees? BIRDS?! I remember the grass in Oblivion melting dual GPU setups back in the day.
