    Well, it's better than Suikoden 1, but I haven't played 2 yet. A good benchmark for whether you might like Trails in the Sky: Over the course of the game (as you complete milestones), NPCs will have evolving sub stories. A fighting married couple will work things out. A child will leave the...

    I've played all three, and I think they're great. Some of the typos bothered me especially in A Tear of Vermillion, but the other two are much better in that regard. Vermillion in my opinion has the best story. They're a bit shorter than the Trails games, you can probably complete all three...

    I played through the first one on PS3, and found it interesting and comical, but a bit monotonous in gameplay.  I don't remember it being terribly hard.  It crashed probably 3 times in the playthrough, which was annoying (but I save often, so wasn't that bad.)  As a comparison, Secret of Mana...

    For Zero, at least, the digital purchase didn't seem like much work at all. I bought it when it was discounted - I think it was 50% off, which is unfortunately over by now. Ao's digital purchase is definitely more work, though. Of course, I'd buy them again if official ports were released...

    PS Vita Deals & Discussions Thread

    Well, you can get something like this which applies correction for that problem: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SCXD68H/ It's not terribly cheap, though, and you have to manually switch between GAME and MENU - it's not automatic. -[Unknown]

    PPSSPP does this, actually. So does Dolphin. It creates a hash of the original texture, and uses that to identify a replacement in a folder of images (texture pack) to use instead. It was implemented in PPSSPP months before this "invention" was filed. It does intercept drawing and replace...

    Yes. Don't regret it, though. -[Unknown]

    > Nope. Check your facts. The Vita runs a PSP emulator. It doesn't have PSP-comparable hardware in it. This is incorrect, as noted by elessar123. http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=20085 It's all actually kinda interesting (at least to me, but then I contribute to a PSP emulator, so...

    Thank you for your posts in this topic. I appreciate them, especially since genres as filters are so blurred these days. Your best judgement seems to work very well from my perspective, if it matters from a lurker. -[Unknown]

    Just a few tips for anyone having trouble with network, at least: 1. Remember that the Vita uses 2.4Ghz Wireless N. That's the signal and channel noise that matters, even though your laptop/phone probably uses AC. 2. Disable the PS4's option to connect to it directly. That performs very...

    Magna Carta 2 $32.98 on Amazon

    Well, I have tons of games to play between now and then anyway, plus I'm way busy in the next few months. Not like I'll be bored if I don't buy this one. If they release a PS3 version, I'll wait for a deal on it. If this game comes out for the PS3, I'm confident I can find it for under $30...

    Magna Carta 2 $32.98 on Amazon

    Supposedly the English voice actors have been called back in: http://www.talesunion.com/news/possible-proof-of-tales-of-vesperia-localization--660.html But with Tales, you never know. They could do that and still never release it. I dunno, seems to me it didn't sell badly considering the...

    Cheap ass PS3 controller help

    I ordered one, and it was broken. Sent it back to them, never got a response, refund, or any service after that. Have to recommend against them. PowerHungryShinobi, that looks like a PS2 controller I once used. I like longer sticks. Just keep in mind, third party controllers can't use...
