David Hingtgen Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That's like, the last 3 games in a row that people have bought, that I have mint copies of ready to sell. Seriously, just PM me if there's a retro PS1/PS2/360/Xbox/SNES/Dreamcast/Saturn game you want---I guarantee my copy will be minty-er, and cheaper, than getting it from ebay. I focus on import fighters and RPG's. (and anything truly good/classic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetJockey Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Vagrant Story has beautiful music. I'll play that one again. It could probably go for a graphical remake. But that is a really good game too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only one of the series I've played, unless you count Gun Hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only one of the series I've played, unless you count Gun Hazard. i have the first front mission on DS. it's pretty good but i haven't spent enough time with it as i'm working on a bunch of DS games at the moment. (prequel to the Silver Case) Flower Sun and Rain. i never played it on SNES though i saw a fan translation.

davidwhangchoi Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 been playing all night. first time gaming this long in a while... usually these days, i doze off after 45 mins with modern games. something about Front Mission is so appealing. love the Jazz music and atmosphere in the bar. the art is so good, i took this game for granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 the art is so good, i took this game for granted Having a PVM to play it on probably doesn’t hurt, either. I may have to check this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I actually still boot up FM 3 from time to time, and I would have to say my fave backup character is Li. Simply because someone in the development team wanted to put Bruce Lee in a mech. This is made more evident in Li's victory pose (especially in a lanky melee-equipped Lenghe wanzer).

I think if you like strategy type games you'll like Vagrant Story. It's like a strategy rpg. I'm not really big on strategy games so if I like one I tend to really like it. I don't play them that much and I think I only own the original Command and Conquer which I got for free. And the old Sega Genesis game Herzog Zwei. Which I'm sure most here know because it has the Macross valkyrie in it. What's that blue keyboard you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/konami_releasing_anniversary_collection_series_on_nintendo_switch I might be interested in the Castlevania one. Konami's being coy about what the other four games are (the four announced are Castlevania, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, and Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge). A lot of fans are speculating Rondo of Blood it Symphony of the Night, but those two were already just packaged this past fall as Castlevania Requiem. My guess is that the other four will be Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Castlevania: The Adventure, Castlevania Legends, and Castlevania: Bloodlines. I'd love to be wrong, though. I'll happily trade Simon's Quest and the Gameboy games for the GBA games, especially Aria of Sorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily trade Simon's Quest and the Gameboy games for the GBA games, especially Aria of Sorrow. I agree with your guess. I think there’s a chance Rondo and Symphony could be on there, since Requiem wasn’t released for the Switch. And given the Gameboy games, I think GBA could be a possibility. I guess it depends on how retro they want to go, and I suspect they’ll lean toward the older titles. Since I have physical copies of most console Castlevanias and Contras, the arcade titles are more interesting to me, since there hasn’t really been a good way to play those legally.

I'll look into those computers. I heard of them but I don't remember seeing keyboards like that. But it was along time ago. It looks like Christmas in your room with those games and toys. What kind of speakers are those? I want to get tower speakers one day. I have a youtube video on speaker positioning that I need to listen to. The guy was talking about how he tested speakers with songs because he knew when he got it right. As he knows the singers heights and how they should be positioned in the room. And if the speakers were good enough, it sounded like the person was right in front of him. I thought that was crazy. The video is long though like an hour. I'll get to it eventually. But it would be cool if speakers made Minmay sound like she was in concert in front of you.

I’m probably going to pick this one up — and add it to the ever growing backlog. there's two entirely separate story pathways in the game that a decision in the beginning of the game determines. Alisa or Emma's story arch. each story arch takes about 40 hours to complete if you rush through it. i took my time and spent alot of time customizing my mechs but i could've done in less time. it's very heavy story driven which i like. the game is pretty easy to beat due to some over powerful combos.

I have to comment though that the remastering work by Sweep Records of the original PS version is great. I've always found the bass in the first soundtrack release kinda muddy/hot, and this release get it just right. Definitely worth picking up if you own the original soundtrack.

JetJockey Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) On fighting games. Looks good. The music seems more like Part 3 so far. But I hope we get a figure of Blaze because of this game. I just heard this too. Also this was from a while ago. I finished Hotel Dusk. It's a cool game. A few problems though. I wasn't able to complete a puzzle even though I tried. It was the one with the vending machine. Turns out you only get one or two chances. But it was misleading. Also another one with with a Kojima type puzzle where I thought I was supposed to use the microphone but I wasn't. The ending wasn't completely satisfactory. But the setting is still cool like those old murder mystery movies. It's a game I'll play again one day. I have the original cover so it will make a good display.

I wasn't crazy about it at first either. But that new trailer got me excited. I still haven't played that fan version that I have saved. I think Sega shut that one down. And it was after people were having fun playing the game. Stuff like that is why I'm not really fond of Sega that much anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
