I mean yeah take off final fantasy and Spyro, add Fear Effect and you've probably got the definitive list of good to great games on ps1.

I guess it's a matter of quality over quantity

It has its share of good games for sure.

But not as many as our systems now get. Gaming was just a smaller thing back then.

The graphics didn't age. They looked just as shitty 20 years ago. Only difference is we didn't have 2 1/2 generations of games with better graphics.

Its well known for having hundreds of literal shit games, maybe not as bad as the Wii, but not that far off. But its library is absolutely massive too. I know rpg fans love it and it has some noteworthy entries in old school series.

Are you talking about the high amount of shovelware made for it? It's true that the PS1's shovelware is among the highest on any console to date, but it had sooooo many good games too. A console could have like 10,000 shovelware titles & 500 good games and I'd still consider it a great console, because even if the concentration of good to bad games is low, 500 good games is still a lot.

PS1 library > PS2 library (to me)

I know it's a bold claim, but also I personally consider the PS1 library to be the greatest (original) library of any console to date.

I don't really know what that has to do with what I said but sure, it's really funny how I say there are a lot of good games while other people say that there are some bad practices.

This. Not many games from that generation hold up well, especially if you didn't enjoy them when they were new. Still, I'd kill for PS1, N64, and Saturn mini classic consoles.

Nice, Im with you in that thinking as well. Psone might be my favorite console ever (definitely top five).

TC couldnt be further from the truth, even if he prefers PS2 over Psone.

Yeah i wouldnt say any of those except Metal Gear are good. I mean, are we really using shit like Medievil to defend the PS1?

If you like those games then that's fine but they aren't essential.

It made games truly cinematic. If we're talking significance, a Metroid ripoff doesn't hold a candle to it.

Aren't most of the shots that game static? A tilt here and a pan there maybe, but there's a lot more going on in Metal Gear.

Actually, when I said that, I was thinking more along the lines of games like Final Fantasy 3 that people hold up as being "cinematic" video games. It's pretty hard to call something cinematic when it's all top-down.

If that's the case, then why did you bother to make a thread about it 18 years later and express your opinion in the clumsiest way possible? Baiting and projecting your opinions as facts sound pretty immature if you ask me.

There are plenty of essential shmups, run and guns, racing and fighting games on it that haven't been mentioned, though. Puzzle games are harder to qualify, but it has good puzzle games, too.

Ftr sotn is not a metroid clone anymore than mgs is a snatcher clone. There's much more going on in comparison.

Quantity definitely plays a big part in the appeal, though!

Love me the psx. Sure, it was early in 3d games so the games look funky. I know on PS4 they have the ps2 games, a few and one is twisted metal black, but my favorite of all those is still twisted metal 2 world tour, so much fun playing co-op.
