What are you playing?

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

The first one was way ahead of its time. Does the SNES even have a Tactics RPG that can compare to Front Mission? Tactics Ogre, perhaps?

Agreed about Front Mission 3 rabid, I have the first one translated, 3 on the PS3 digitally, and a disc of 4. I know it wasn’t as well received but I just grabbed Evolved on sale last night.

Evolved is a stripped down Armored Core. It's not half as good as AC3, which for me is the gold standard of AC games. But Front Mission 3 and FM1 are great. Even if I weren't a buyfag, I'd still have made sure to purchase the DS game and FM3. Front Mission 1 is fucking mind-blowing when you consider how old the game is. It had all the pieces in place at around the same time Fire Emblem was starting to come into its own (with Geneology and Thracia).

I only ever got a chance to place AC5, that’s one of those series where there are a ton of subtitled sequels that were omitted from most territories and we got the numbered games instead till later on, was never sure where to start but 3 sounds good.

I wish I had that DS game, I know it’s an expanded port that adds some characters and other stuff from the later games. I play all of my emulation for NES-GBA Nintendo era and other 8-16 bit consoles on a hacked SNES Classic I snagged for cheap years back. I’ve got FM and can agree it’s an amazingly advanced game considering all they packed into it and how well it works. I also really dig the side scroller Gun Hazard because it reminds me of the Assault Suit series.

I looked at the going prices for modded classics and considered selling mine and just moving to PC, but I’m a sucker for real hardware. I’ll pop an optical emulation drive into something like a Saturn or Dreamcast or use a free mcboot card with a usb drive and PS2 though, I’m not about to pay Mad Bum for his scratched up discs with booger encrusted manuals.

Should've made a game where you're a black slave killing massas.

Should've made a game where you're a black slave killing massas.

You don't need fiction for that. There's a proud and historically factual example of that happening in real life. It's called Haiti. A proud Caribbean nation born out of a slave revolt that burned and killed their oppressors.

Of course everybody conveniently likes to ignore Haiti because the end result was, let's put it very mildly, not-so-stellar.

[rabidtictac]

Asscreed IV has dlc where you're a black slave killing massas.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

I'm thinking more of something more Hitman-esque, where you pretend to be an obedient slave but are actually an elite warrior from Wakanda.

Nioh 2 is great. Graphics are not as fugly and plastic like in the first and also game is not 90% shit brown mines and caves. Whatever they did with the engine, they did good job and game loads up instantly unlike the first.
It is a lot easier, but maybe that's first region.
