I’ve been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles....
Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).
All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.
It’s amusing to me how true this was when I was a kid playing. Now as an adult, the ‘clues’ they give you are so obvious I feel like I’m barely even playing.
Oh, you mean the very first games. I never got to play through those for real. My first was ocarina of time. I tried LoZ2 on the super disc that you got with wind waker on the gamecube, but I was still young enough (and spoiled from ocarina, majora’s mask, and wind waker) that I didn’t really get into it and beat it.
I think the part that threw me as a child was when the central tower area raised a platform when you raised the water level. The camera super focuses on the new hole, but I never saw it. Cue the endless frustration that I had to overcome by looking up a guide.
I don’t have the original N64 golden cartridge anymore (there’s a fun story, involving an insane fundamentalist christian mother), but did play both the ‘Master’ edition and the ‘original’ edition that they put together on a gamecube disc. I remember that the ‘master’ edition water temple was easier than the original, despite the point of ‘master’ being that everything was harder.
I might have to pull out the disc and fire it up then.
I actually like how flippantly you say you never beat it because you didn’t really get into it.
I more meant that I didn’t even try past the first area/level. I remember asking myself, “Is this a zelda game?” because it was just so different than the 3d versions I had played.
I always thought they were chopped oak trees, because of the professor’s name and all. It’s funny how kid logic just connects things and you never even think about the conclusions until asked about them.
Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! (lemmy.world) angielski
