Does the PS1 version also have a shit localization? Or was that just FF5 on PS1?

VI is based on the SNES version so it should be the Ted Woolsey script. V's is borked though, yeah.

Honestly for V the GBA version is the way to go. VI has the original SNES version on Wii VC and the GBA port + some romhacks to fix the graphics and music. The PS1 versions of those two should really be the last resort if you can't play any of the others. All the other FF PS1 games are great though; Origins is IMO the definitive version of I and II.

 

[Andvary]

This is an excellent way to put it. I completely agree. Always remember that you're a hunter. Hunters hunt.

Yeah, when I was in a scary situation I liked to think that they were more scared of me than me of them.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

I played a bit of Shadow of Mordor and was pretty bored, but never got to the nemesis system. I've heard enough people whose opinion I trust tell me it's worth playing though. Same goes for Trails in the Sky however, can't decide which to get.

 

[TheExecutive]

Huh. I didn't even know prison architect was on the PS4. How is it?

 

[Jb]

Finally grabbed Thumper after months of being unsure if I'd find it frustrating or not.
Soooo glad I did. If you have any affinity for rhythm games you owe it to yourself to try it out. The controls are much more intuitive than videos had led me to believe.

 

[RustyNails]

I grabbed Darkest Dungeon.

This is me when playing the game

 

[The Outsider]

Been waiting for Thumper to go on sale. Can't wait to experience it fully in VR.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I may have to finally grab Thumper for VR.

Hmm you may have just convinced me.

It's nuts! One of my favorite psvr games next to rigs and until dawn.

 

[Drakhyrr]

I haven't started it up, but I have it on Vita. I imagine it's not too bad digitally with Disc Speed - Fast on. I might test it.

I don't recall the PS1 version of FF6 being great. Loadtimes being long and having a rough translation(SNES carryover?)

If the character sprites on the Steam version are unappealing, your best bet is probably finding a way to play the GBA port(lots of added content and a much improved translation).

Oh and FF7 on PS4 has undergone scrutiny for having a few bugs that Square supposedly never patched and ignored. Biggest being the music restarting after every encounter(meaning you hear the first 10 seconds of the environment tracks and never the rest of the song). May need correcting if this was fixed eventually, but many have argued that it is not the definitive version as hoped.

Unfortunately I think disc spees is not an option on PS3. Adding a bad translation to that, I might as well skip it and hope for another proper port. Maybe someday.

And now I'm also debating myself on whether I should get FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX on PS3. It seems neither Steam version got them right, so I might as well avoid all their problems and just go with the originals.

Squeenix does suck at making ports, it seems. Looks like only FFX/X-2 and Lightning Returns are alright.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I'm sure Gaf has represented plenty already, but Bloodborne was the best 20 dollars I've ever spent on gaming, it's DEFINITELY the best 7.50 you could spend. Do iiit.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I grabbed Darkest Dungeon.

This is me when playing the game

DD 101:
- Grind levels
- Lose most of those high level chars to RNG
- Become salt incarnated
- Repeat (at least until you realize that's the whole game)

Great game to watch other people playing, though. Schadenfreude and all.

 

[MiloHoffman]

Man i can't decide, Bloodborne or Shadow of Mordor? are both RPGs?

I just finished Witcher 3 and I liked it a lot, help!

 

[Oni Jazar]

Bloodborne if you are a man. Shadow of Mordor if you are a man baby.

 

[MiloHoffman]

Bloodborne if you are a man. Shadow of Mordor if you are a man baby.

 

[De_Legend]

Lmao.

Bloodborne hands down 👍🏻

Bloodborne.

 

[jon_i634]

Finally picked up Thumper! I don't have PSVR, but unique rhythm games like this are 100% my thing. The different time signatures between levels thing sounds incredible.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

oh man, i really want thumper.

I heard Oxenfree is great too...

And, does trackmania turbo still have people on it?

 

[Kugar77]

updated GAF thoughts on ff type 0 and prison architect? Yes I already have bloodborne

 

[Strangelove77]

Easiest question ever - get fucking Bloodborne.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I love everything about darkest dungeon except difficulty. It pissed me off so much and there was so much bullshit I said fuck this. I had it on PC but won't bother on PS4 as it appears nothing has changed.

 

[fvng]

Is the 3rd birthday worth the price

 

[PhantomThief]

Bloodborne if you are a man. Shadow of Mordor if you are a man baby.

It's the truth.

[The Wheel of Fortune]

$8 for Thumper is really tempting, even though I really wanted to get it for the Switch...

 

[pretty done]

Man i can't decide, Bloodborne or Shadow of Mordor? are both RPGs?

Shadows of Mordor if you want to beat a game with your eyes closed. Bloodborne if you want to be challenged.

Not saying Mordor sucks, it's just really goddamn boring. I found the Batman games to be a hell of a lot better, despite being just as simple.

 

[More_Badass]

I quite like Shadow of Mordor, but it isn't even a question here. Bloodborne is a masterpiece and must-play

 

[poodaddy]

It's the truth.

https://youtu.be/6AV9W2ZdmjU

I agree with the supposition of the video but goddamn that guy is insufferable. Couldn't make it through the video. He just comes off like an incredibly obnoxious prick, I just can't stomach those types of people.

 

[PhantomThief]

Oh sure, but I'm sure he's just hamming it up for the video as well . Just a funny video to showcase the combat and how easy it really is. Dude closes his eyes and everything haha

But yeah Bloodborne is a masterpiece. Mordor is allright.

I've seen some vids and Bloodborne looks dark af I'm gonna go with it, thanks GAF.

Completely agree. Bloodborne is probably one of the best works to ever be produced in the medium, Shadow of Mordor was a decent game that was hailed as a great game in a year devoid of heavy hitters. Anecdotally, even my 70 year old dad liked Bloodborne. He was totally into it when he was watching me lol.

 

[mr teaspoon]

Did XCOM 2 ever get fixed on PS4? Last I heard it performs horribly with long load times.

Nope, still not fixed. I just bought a Pro the other day, so I'm not sure if boost mode helps. But super long load times, though actual gameplay seems okay.

I hear War of the Chosen on PC is like a night and day difference, in terms of how well-optimized and quick it is. So hopefully that's the case for the console versions, as well.

I am a little frustrated at the total lack of info on the game's Pro benefits.

 

[Briarios]

Anyone played Blood Bowl 2? Just saw that was part of the sale ...

 

[PhantomThief]

Is Oxenfree good?

 

[xenoncrash]

Wow, picked up Bloodborne for $7.99. Great sale!

 

[netguy503]

Wow, picked up Bloodborne for $7.99. Great sale!

Picked up Bloodborne with this sale and sold my retail copy (that I got for $15-$20 awhile ago) to gamestop for like $23. lol

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Man i can't decide, Bloodborne or Shadow of Mordor? are both RPGs?

I just finished Witcher 3 and I liked it a lot, help!

Go for Bloodborne!

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Grabbed 2064 and Valkyria Chronicles. This will be the 4th time I’ve bought Valkyria. Once on ps3, physical on ps4, and digital on steam. Never finished the game. Maybe this time?

 

[Dragon1893]

Should've jumped on that last $10 for $7 from pcgamessupply.

 

[zMiiChy-]

Does anyone know if the Tales of Hearts R's season pass includes any costumes?

Or is it just game boosts?

 

[Wolf Akela]

Reposting just in case someone knows what's up?

I even checked on my Vita and it's $10.

Edit: This doesn't seem to match up. Blog says Ys: Oath in Felghana is $20 -> $8, but store says $15 -> $6.

Sega Genesis Collection is $40 -> $20 on the blog, but it's $10 -> $5 on the store. Who the hell sells PSP games for $40?

 

[Late Flag]

I finally decided to roll with XCOM 2. The expansion didn't sound like something I would prefer over the vanilla game, and I'm hoping I can just put up with the sub-optimal load times.

 

[Agent X]

Sega Genesis Collection is $40 -> $20 on the blog, but it's $10 -> $5 on the store. Who the hell sells PSP games for $40?

That must be an error. I don't think Sega Genesis Collection sold for $40 even when it was originally released.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Does anyone know if the Tales of Hearts R's season pass includes any costumes?

Just boosts. Useless.

 

[disappeared]

For that price I think I'm gonna buy Bloodborne just so I can put my physical copy to rest.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Of course, it's still the PSP version, except you're playing it on Vita.
What we mean is that the games work perfectly on the Vita, meaning they are 100% accurate to their original versions without any bugs or issues being introduced from playing them on the Vita.
Obviously any issues the originals had will still be present.

So it's "amazing *".

Is Mad Max any good?

 

[harrisk954]

valkyria Chronciles for $15?

I dont like the genre but was always interested in giving this a shot.

I don't like the genre generally either, but this is a must buy. I played on PS3 and repurchased for PS4. It is an amazing game!

 

[harrisk954]

Old Hunters still not on sale.

It is NEVER on sale.... I check all the time.
