Date: May 14th, 2024 11:30 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den Talk about your 1990s gaming memories as a Gen Xer. I always thought of PS1s as devices for extremely stupid retards to play shitty games. Hypothetically you could play Xenogears and MGS and FF Tactics but ffs look at the sales chart. Driver, THPS, Twisted Metal, Medal of Honor maybe. It’s ghastly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528646&forum_id=2...id.#47662440) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 2:41 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den That’s not the point at all. A better analogue for PS1 is something like Captain Marvel where it supposedly does $1,000,000,000k but no one watches it.
The number 1 argument shills make in favor of PS1 is 100,000,000k units shipped. But never the games. Because it was never about the games. |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 3:01 PM Author: laughsome philosopher-king What are your top 3 PS1 games? There were for sure some gems beyond the obvious ones (MGS, Xenogears, FF7.) Shit like Colony Wars was fun and fairly unique back in the day. Gran Turismo 1 and 2 as well. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528646&forum_id=2...id.#49789448) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 8:23 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den GT always felt like an Engineering exercise. it's like one of the least embarrassing Japanese games to be seen playing though. good for Sony's image. Not many games can be straight-up played in the living room and nothing gay or retarded happens. Just Racing and Engineering.
Top 3 are as you listed MGS/Xenogears/FF7. Only played Xenogears a few years ago and it's clearly a triumph. That whole era was special. Basically every top JRPG was solid, FF9/Chrono Cross/FFT, you name it. Even FF8 wasn't offensively bad. And it was only made in 2 years. I don't think they had time to check to see if it was good or not. |

Date: April 3rd, 2026 6:15 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den I can’t believe how intolerable it was even on 3x speed.
Also the things the fans play up about it aren’t interesting. The story is supposed to be built around the squall/rinoa relationship but it’s not that interesting and they don’t even have more moments in the actual story than Cloud/Aerith/Tifa. Also Seifer should be a Cool badass rival but he ends up being a gay useless pos that does nothing the entire game.
They love the Laguna flashbacks. Ok who cares. What’s good about these?
The one thing they bitch about is the Orphanage Reveal. As if the characters seem like they all forgot about being in an Orphanage. There’s like no indication they forgot about it iirc. I guess they expect that they’d have constantly talked about the orphanage hitherto
Anyway just never trust Losers…. When it comes to anything Losery never assume the thing most people hate is somehow good. They constantly want there to be a diamond in the rough bc it suits their narrative about Themselves. |

Date: April 4th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den it's obvious what they put effort into and what they didn't
they did the cutscenes, and the cool af first act, and the emphasis on having epic Summons, but the rest is shit. FF8 feels similar to FFX in several ways (the antecedent story of the main character's dad's party for one), but FFX actually got the job done imo. If you think you like FF8, just play FFX. |

Date: April 4th, 2026 1:14 PM Author: razzle-dazzle dilemma wrinkle I don't like FFX either. The aesthetic of it is wack imo. FF9 is good though imo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528646&forum_id=2...id.#49793468) |

Date: April 4th, 2026 1:27 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den you're talking about the difference between prerendered backgrounds and 3D shit. it was a big transition. Fantasian uses prerendered backgrounds btw. they are all Dioramas, exquisitely made (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528646&forum_id=2...id.#49793484) |

Date: April 4th, 2026 1:29 PM Author: razzle-dazzle dilemma wrinkle I started Fantasian on iOS but then learned that "Neo Dimension" has voice acting and More Content or something so I stopped haha. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528646&forum_id=2...id.#49793486) |

Date: April 4th, 2026 1:08 PM Author: cruel-hearted abnormal den I liked that game and unlocked basically everything in it. Nothing really wrong with it, you just had to Memorize the moves which wasn't as good for multiplayer. obviously No Mercy which was Japanese developed was something special.
