Um, here's probably a dumb question, maybe. My gf and my accounts are both on the same console. Many moons ago, I accidentally purchased Bloodborne through her account and that's where I spent my play time. If I buy the dlc through my account, will both cooperate?

^This 100%. The game gets a lot of grief because Trico doesn't do exactly what you tell it asap when you want it. It has a mind of its own, which was done intentionally because you're supposed to be interacting with a creature with its own intelligence that is also exploring the world as the player is.

Realism is apparently lost on the general masses.

When realism gets in the way of playability then I can do without it. In my video games, I want my horse, creature, etc. to do exactly what I want it to do at the exact moment I input the command. I haven't played Last Guardian but the horse in Shadow of the Colossus is maddening.

Haha, if you think Argo is bad, you’re in for a treat.

Trico is different, it seems more alive and intelligent. Argo is just plain dumb sometimes.

The thing about TLG is that you forge an emotional bond with the creature and him going off and doing his own thing from time to time kind of lends to his finicky personality. There aren't many games where I legitimately felt sad when it was over because I wouldn't get to see my friend anymore.

On the other hand, if I was going for that speedrun trophy, I would be p i s s e d.

 
Given how important controls are in video gaming in general, it’s interesting how much slack SOC and TLG are cut in that dept. Yeah some of it may be intentional, but even when you’re controlling just the boy the controls are not tight. And if the intentional control choices made for the beasts you interact with make the game frustrating to play, that’s on the designer. When I think of a game being challenging I want it to demand precision of me, not lucking out and having the game decide to accept my controller input on a random whim.

Plus the camera still kind of sucks.

These games are beautiful and have a very unique vibe. Just wish they’d bring on someone with a better understanding of modern game design in terms of controls and camera.
 
Alright Sega, is this just the Genesis collections you already have on Steam combined into one? Because if it is I’m going to be disappointed.
 
Could anyone recommend any ATELIER game for VITA for someone like me that never play or heard of atelier? I became more and more interested of youtube videos, they look great and seem to play great.
 
Doesn't seem like it will have much to offer over Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (49 games with unlockables). It's going to depend on how much over 50 it is.

I've played at least some of all of them. Generally speaking, I think they've improved a little with each iteration. There have been some quality of life improvements over the years and I think their characterizations have gotten better. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, though I will say that Sophie and Firis are my least favorite because of some over simplified mechanics and characters I personally found annoying. Escha & Logy and Shallie were my favorites.

You can't go wrong with the "original" trilogy too and it looks like they've now packaged them all together:

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP4108-NPUB50351_00-ARLANDTRILOGYPLU

These games go on sale a couple of times a year. I think 50% off is the lowest they go, but I could be wrong. Make sure you have the storage space! None of these are tiny.

I'd recommend starting with Rorona Plus. Totori runs relatively badly on Vita, but is easier time sense wise for completing stuff. I really haven't played the Dusk Trilogy on, but the Vita versions always have some performance issues. It was likely worse in Totori, and maybe got better with the later ones (I get those on PS4).

I lost interest in the series myself with some of the games seeming way too similar to the others, and now that it's a yearly series, it's probably exactly like this.

Atelier Iris?

Outside of Japan, anyways.

Or

Mana_Khemia_Cover.jpg

And they hit about $15.99 every once in a blue moon.

I wish they would have continued the Mana Khemia games. They were a little bland sometimes, but were a nice diversion. Am I the only one getting bored of the Atelier iterations?

 
Well, there's not a lot of modern versions of traditional JRPGs these days.

Edit: I should add, if you're not a fan of Idea Factory games.

Yeah thats the thing with me, I love JRPGs but Idea Factory games for the most part I can't get into. I kept buying them up until about a year ago and never really had a great time with one, I kept thinking back to the heyday of JRPGs in the PS1/2 era and just decided I'd be better off playing classics I had missed over the years (it also prompted me to get into handheld gaming more as there is often a richer JRPG landscape).

It's most likely just going to be the collection they have on Steam. I don't know what other Genesis games that Sega made that it would be lacking.

Hmmm... Sounds like this is the perfect time to make my 15 year comeback and corner the market with RPG Maker games, mwahahahaha!

Do you really make RPG Maker games? I'd be interested in checking out your work. I'm always surprised more indie games aren't made with it. The most famous is the To The Moon series, then I'm hard-pressed to think of the next successful game made with it.

I guess that depends on what you consider modern. RPG Maker MV came out two years ago, that's pretty modern. I always thought of JRPGs as narrative-heavy, 2D/Sprite based games like the ones I grew up, such as Final Fantasy 4. Whereas I think of modern basically being how nice the graphics are, not necessarily 3D (if that's where you see RPGM not being modern.) The recent Wonderboy: The Monster Trap remaster is still 2D and the exact same game right down to the hitboxes, but the breathtakingly beautiful graphics make it modern.

I made about five RPGs between 1997 and 2001 on the old Kyle Quest RPG engine. It was very much like RPG Maker, except the KQ engine ran on PalmOS handheld systems. I kinda got back into making games a couple years ago with RPG Maker VXa and remade my first game from 1997, as well as a brand new adventure, but I never publically released them because I never considered them finished (due to using stock graphics for everything buy the main characters, and knock-off monster graphics. ) I did a Let's Play of both games with my local indie game dev group last year, so video of it is out there at the moment, but no formal release yet. :(

Something like Persona 5 is extremely modern, but a traditional RPG with heavy narration.

 
Some stuff on sale I'm interested in, but I should probably hold off for now. I adopted a dog last week and he's been keeping me busy and on my toes pretty constantly.
