They're not bad; they'd just have long load times, but otherwise are the SNES ver.

There are barely any roguelikes coming out. This is part of the problem with people affixing the term to basically any game they feel like. There are a few games coming out with procedural generation and/or a permanent death mechanic (and lately the trend has been to dumb that down to the point of being almost entirely vestigial).

I know, as a EU peasant the PSX version of FF VI was the first one I played. It's okay, but it definitely makes the experience worse. Loading times when entering a menu -- really?
It's about time S-E stops getting rewarded for their consistently mediocre (at best) PC output.
The sad part is that TLR was a much better PC version than anything they've released since.

My understanding is that PSOne's handling of 2D games came down to how much effort the publisher/dev into the game, that or how the game's code was designed.

The only thing I want from Squeenix on Steam:
alsoKingdomhearts 1.5, 2.5 and 2.8 3
I hope they make this thing an emote
OK, I give up, you don't want it, period.
I still will buy FF6 if it's ever released and even replay it on steam. I plan to replay FF5 too, that's why I bought it.
I don't think arguing about semantics does anything here, OK these are not roguelikes, but roguelitelikeish games, they are still everywhere literally, half of games released are of this type, not that I counted, but yeah, I wish it wasn't so trendy these days.

Well the way 2D PS1 games are made are by throwing sprite textures onto a 3D surface since it wasn't made to handle native 2D games well. (This is also the reason SotN runs like shit on the Saturn because it doesn't handle 3D games as well.)
I agree to a certain extent. Often the writing is thoroughly abysmal. Good thing the gameplay is what carries the game
FFV was also given for free on Plus years ago.
They are a fairly diverse group of games that use a couple of mechanics that you don't like. They aren't a genre at all. And we'd have more success discussing them if we could talk about why those mechanics work in some games but not others, instead of trying to bundle them all up together and affix an increasingly inaccurate label.
Man, this is going well.

Lmao, that yesterdays Valve thread is going to places
Also: Kojima is worshipped not because of his writing skills, but because of his vision.

but I don't like permadeath, especially if enough of a progress doesn't carry over in any way, so yeah, I don't like what's essentially part of all of them, that's why I mentioned it at all, it has nothing to do with a genre, but everything with new Reus devs game. I didn't intend to talk about roguelikes and roguelites and roguelitelikeish games at all.

Vision? Sounds like Peter Moleyiunx.
Nah, they aren't, I'm not even a fan of MGS, I still think that Kojima is a fun guy and a good dev, and he deserves that reputation he've got.
Still. Should've have someone else to manage and write.

The funny thing is with the shift to cinematic games the industry has unfortunately found itself in. I think its made people realise just how mechanical and fun Kojimas games were. In my opinion anyway, but I always knew how great they were
If he did that, MGS wouldn't be half as popular, you know it.

They were obviously talking about his reputation as a storyteller that people see him as (and himself). I can tell he's got great enthusiasm in writing and directing stories, but he's not as good as he thinks.

True dat, his game ideas are great, but his stories end up being Otaku fanwank ish.
MGS 1-3 did well enough, when Fukushima was there to hold Kojima down, relaxing him with his soft embrace.
should I remind you that MGS4 is only game that it's twice GOTY? Is it really so hard to comprehend that people like his writing? And I know quite a few people that do, including on gaf.
well, that came as a surprise
to no one

I can definitely relate to this.
It's not hard to comprehend, but I lool at MGSV and it's a bit of a mess. Of course he was cut short by Konami, but I am confidend that he had deadlines he should've planned for.

MGS4 is pretty much fan fiction though. I'm a huge MGS fan and at the time I thought the game was amazing. But that's only because it's fan service to the highest degree. It still has its high points but the writing is garbage in that game. Snake Eater is still the GOAT.
if I was to speculate what happened, Kojima probably went way over the budget, that not only got MGSV butchered but he was fired too. Not that I know, it just seems plausible explanation.
I still don't get why Konami tried to erase him, that seems like overkill, unless he spent all their money. He could, couldn't he?
Just checked my profile page for the first time in ages and I seem to have lost 1 game and 32 items of DLC going by the counts on there. That's going to be a fucker to track down exactly what's changed.
I think number 3 is quite popular with some folks in here and their Steam accounts.

He failed me with MGS4. I appreciate his prior work such as MGS1-3 and ZoE. Doesn't mean I can't give him shit for his later efforts. Though I do like MGSV more than 4 and would still say it's my GOTY at the moment.
Afro Samurai was that series that had Samuel L. Jackson doing the voice of the main character, right? I'm guessing he's not in this game.

I still don't know why people credit Kojima for ZOE when it's under Murata's direction he might have been heading ZOE3 when it was alive but other than that I'm confused.
That being said I live MGSV it's probably my least favorite game by Kojipuffs though.

I thought he did one and someone else handled 2? Oh well the power of having your name on the box. Still find it funny that everyone had no issues with MGS4 but it was V where everyone went "wait a minute"
this industry is on its last legs

My GOTY is Undertale and I don't really have any other follow ups since I genuinely like that game a ton and haven't felt that way about any other game released this year. I guess number 2 would be Life is Strange or Bloodborne though.
I keep telling that for years now, it still somehow survives, it has to be totally indies fault.
Is it really this good? Undertale I mean. I'm wary of that much of praise, seems fishy.
so what's so good about it? no spoilers, please, in case I'll decide to play it.
That's weird way to spell Trails SC.
ya, I'm totally doing this mojo thing with this, for it to be released this year
