DHGF: The Guided Fate Paradox isn’t a bad game; it’s just not a good one either. The game offers less content and is far easier than any roguelike I’ve ever played before – including Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. I thought the game’s premise was exceptionally interesting, but the followthrough left me cold and I found the characters to be pretty uninteresting and unlikeable – something I’ve never experienced with a Nippon Ichi developed game (although certainly with games they’ve merely localized and published). That said, the game has a very nice soundtrack and the engine is incredibly solid. It’s just disappointing that the game didn’t live up to the high standard of its predecessor ZHP: Unlosing Ranger Vs. DarkDeath Evilman. I’m normally a big fan of roguelikes but I found The Guided Fate Paradox to be a mediocre experience across the board. It’s not something I can recommend, but it’s not something I can pooh pooh or condemn either.
Sony announced the April PlayStation Plus lineup for Japan which includes The Guided Fate Paradox from Nippon Ichi Software. This roguelike is a spiritual sequel to Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman and prequel to The Awakened Fate Ultimatum which came out in North America recently.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "What is appealing about the roguelike is that on a very fundamental level, from the very building blocks of the sub-genre's creation, it is absurdism in motion. And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
RPCS3 is undoubtedly an emulator with huge potential. YouTube’s member ‘B1ackDaemon’ has recently released a video showing Sonic CD running and today, we’ve got another video showing The Guided Fate Paradox running via this emulator.
I wouldn't call this "running". rather crawling....and then with a game which probably doesn't use 90% of PS3's resources and still is buggy as hell. <1-2fps - which makes it almost look acceptable - wouldn't that video actually run at 8x the speed. This will never ever run PS3 games. Not even if they iron out the bugs. But, well, great achievement getting that far. Just can't see why people waste their time on a lost cause.
Wow that escalated faster than expected. Awesome work dudes, can't wait to play so many jrpg's i couldn't play. And red dead.
I always have one question when saw things like this:
If you got the skill (programming, etc) and time to make this emulator, than why not developed some games for PS3 rather than pirating/cracking other people works?
Still years off being useful, but it's a good start. :)
I thoroughly suspect we'll see a good PS4 emulator before we see a PS3 one. The PS4 is a lot more PC-like. Still, going to be ages before we get either.
