    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...

    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...

    > 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...

    Bing GOLD RUSH EVENT - DEC 4 - EBAY CURRENTLY AT 15% GO GO GO!

    Sometimes if you threaten to cancel your order and make a new one (assuming you still have the chance) they will give it to you. They don't want to have to deal with the extra work, usually. But, yeah, probably not. -[Unknown]

    Magna Carta 2 $32.98 on Amazon

    Hmm... tempted, wonder what the chances it will hit PS3 with extra features are. I liked Tales of Vesperia but would've liked the extra features more, don't want to be hit like that again... -[Unknown]

    NIS PSP lineup $4.99-$14.99 on PSN Store for 1 week starting Oct. 1

    Okay, I got it. It's definitely playable, although you see a loading screen blink on and off before battle, which is a bit annoying. The "jump start" feature doesn't help at all (I was hoping it would maybe at least turn off the loading screen for wasting my card space.) That said, it's...

    Opoona $14.99 New $12.99

    Ouch! I definitely read Okami. I'm sorry. I was like, "wow, Okami is new for only $15 now?" Okay, Opoona is a different story. Very cooky, I've played it too. Okami is way better. Go get that instead (actually it's $19 on Amazon, so definitely get it.) If you've already played Okami...

    Opoona $14.99 New $12.99

    It's definitely worth it. It's a bit like Zelda but without some of the quirks Zeldas have. It's definitely worth $10, by leaps and bounds IMHO. http://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/ps2/okami/reviews/okamistrev1.html (this is for the Wii one.) -[Unknown]
