Sega has released the first trailer for it's new RPG on PSP, Valkyria Chronicles 2.
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.
Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.
It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.
Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.
If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.
Twinfinite Writes: With Fire Emblem Three Houses the series takes its first leap into a school life game, but there are other great JRPGs out there with a school setting.
Currently playing through Trails in the Sky SC, after spending 60 hours finishing the first. I want to jump into Trails of Cold Steel, but was told by several people that it's better to play the previous games first.
Trails of cold steel is great to jump right into. You won't feel like you missed anything. I am sure there is more to get out of the 3rd and 4th TOTS games but I don't see any reason to wait to play Steel.
There are some mentions of events in Trails in the Sky in the first 2 trails of cold steel, but not much. You should definitely play Trails in the Sky completely before Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 (which are yet to be released), because there are characters from that series in those games.
You might also want to play Trails of Zero and Azure, which are the 2 unlocalized games. There are translation patches for them out there that are 100% done.
Interesting, thanks for the tip. I heard TITS 2 was the best one in that series, so I think I'll still finish it. Depending on the ending though, I may jump into TOCS after, mainly because the gameplay looks way better, and obviously the visuals as well. The TITS combat is a little shallow IMO.
Cold steel 1 was my first trails game. There were certain parts where I could tell they were referencing previous games but other than that it was a complete and separate story. It was great and I never felt like I missed out on anything just small mentions of other events.
doesn't matter which you play first as the games directly involving the story of Sky aren't even all released here to even worry about order. You'll miss alot of references no matter which way you look at it. Just play which ever ones you want in any order as long as 1s before 2. They're self contained stories by name for the most part.
Finished Cold Steel II today.
I have some time now to finish the Crossbell games before Cold Steel III arrives in late October. I can't sing enough praise for the Legend of Heroes series. I have only beaten Sky FC a little earlier and gonna play SC soon too. I feel sorry for the fans of jrpgs that misses this hidden gem of a series.
I have been a great fan of Nihon Falcom since the elary 90's. One of the strongest japanese developers out there. But and support their games Kreygasm.
So how does Fire Emblem: Three Houses compare? Well, it doesn't offer the agency of Bully, but it does feel more expansive than Persona, even if the choices you have to make aren't quite as interesting. Its strength is in how well-realized and expansion it all feels, its calendar peppered with a multitude of fun events like feasts and dance festivals. Where Valkyria Chronicles 2's academy feels like a series of rote menus, Three Houses' setting feels fully integrated into the gameplay and story.
I really can't stand portable/handheld gaming that much (i don't know, just not my thing), but I am SOOO borrowing my friend's psp just to play this game.
Valkyria Chronicles seems perfect for handheld gaming, still I wish this had been on PS3 and had kept the same art direction of the first.
This is hardly a trailer -_-
playing through Valkyria Chronicles and I must say, I really am not that into it. It starts fairly slow and I'm having a problem getting used to their system of CPs and how to use it to move and attack. I'll give it a go a couple more times yet, but I guess it's hard to switch gears after playing inFamous and Dead Space. Any suggestions from here?
Still aggravated it's not on PS3. :/
