Iowans calling themselves “midwest” while voting like southerners. You hate to see it.

Nah, they’re just in Davenport.

The original PS1 game had both main character options, if that makes you feel better about it.

The Orange Box was a lot of people’s first Steam purchase. It’s hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Guild Wars 2’s World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you’re at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it’s a grindfest now.

Ray Traylor didn’t do anything to deserve this.

Suikoden II is generally considered one of the best JRPGs on the PS1, and while the English translation isn’t spotless the writing and setpieces have a similar quality to Chrono Trigger. It is a sequel to Suikoden and you’ll enjoy the second game a bit more for having played the first one, but it’s not a requirement. The original Suikoden wasn’t nearly as polished and I’d hate for you to give up on Suikoden II because you burned out on it.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It’s a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

It’s not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can’t design hardware for shit.

Elden Ring. I was looking forward to a more mainstream Dark Souls with a story written by GRRM, but it turns out I just don’t jive with those games at all, no matter how polished they are.

I don’t care if it has the same framerate as traditional animation, if your CGI movie is less than 30 fps it looks cheap and gives me a headache.
