It felt nicer to hold than a PS2 default or xbox duke, but it was still easily the worst. I mean I understand the complains. They've just never bothered me personally.

Illuminoius 09/24/23 7:02:34 PM #50:	it had a lot of good games but most of the stuff i care about can get played on other things. i do want to see pso on consoles again, but i feel like sega would add all the bad parts of the sequel onto it. the power stone games and chu chu rocket are basically the only other games i care about skies of arcadia is cute but the actual combat kinda sucks. grandia 2 has an amazing battle system but the low difficulty undermines it and you can't skip animations. writing is fun but it loses steam hard in the second half and the voice acting starts to deteriorate a lot too where the fuck is the modern midway classics so i can play hydro thunder, gauntlet legends, and rush <cite>Illuminoius posted [p:976284169] in The Dreamc...
