As someone from the UK, where most of our spines were standardised like the PS1 and PS2. And having personally collected hundreds of the latter. I’ve always preferred consistent standardised spines. A full bookcase of PAL PS2 games looks so much nicer to me than the messy look of one filled with NTSC games in my opinion.
My first PlayStation was a PS3, and thankfully, around then they were still releasing a number of ported “trilogies”.
Even though mine was not a backwards compatible model, I was also able to play digital versions of the Fatal Frame series, which is sadly now pretty much inaccessible.
I never played Jax, but I saw an analysis of its vector-based facial animation, where there were few enough vertices for animators to directly tweak; and it does feel like a nostalgic way to make cartoony, expressive faces.
I think people care about Jak, but Naughty Dog is constrained to marketing success and has to focus on their money makers Crash, Last of Us, and Uncharted, no?
It’s not the souls/weapons that we get at the end, it’s the useless (irl) skill set we honed along the way.
Souls bosses aren’t really rewarding except for the joy one gets from the fight. And if you don’t enjoy that all games give you plenty of room for cheese/overlevel/skip.
Maybe so, yes.
Each person should play how they like, imho.
That is what I mean by souls games giving you a lot of options to chose your player skill progression (gitting gud) intensity (and even end skill level, that it’s why people don’t level up etc).
On my first playthrough he gives of the vibe. This guy is going to backstab me so I killed him right after talking to him. Later on I learned this guy does backstab me who knew.
I remember walking in to Toys R Us and seeing N64 on display when it first launched. You could stand in line and wait for your chance to play. I had been too young to really follow or know about the launch, but I thought the 3D graphics looked incredible. Initially I had thought it was some hyped up version of Super Mario RPG because that was the most “3D” looking Mario game that had existed to date.
My N64 stuff is laying around my house in random places because my oldest nephew (just became a teenager) absolutely loves retro hardware. So much fun.
Xenia/RPCS3/Cemu can be used to emulate the old console editions. You just need a update with a new enough version fore the minigames. Alternatively i believe the PS3 edition still has the servers up for multiplayer (RPCS3 has their own servers too but idk if those do battle minigames). i’d assume the Xbox one edition’s servers are still up too
