I absolutely adored the first game on PS3, and felt guilty that I didn't play it in time to praise it on my top ten last year. After being reminded by a reader of that particular oversight, I figured I should probably get to the sequel this year to make sure I didn't make the same mistake again."
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.
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.
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.
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 agree with this person. The story and characters are so awful, that I just can't possibly continue playing the game. The way the plot is set up is laughable.
Gameplay is good, but the maps are puny and recycled.
