Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Bought and have been playing Dokapon Kingdom Connect with friends. It's Board game meets JRPG. Really fun game, but it has the same friendship destroying power as Mario Party.

I have to say, the friendly banter happening in this thread is really wholesome :3

This was never the happiest place ever, gaming forums never are, but the last week or so it got pretty bad in my opinion and even reading isn't that entertaining anymore.

And to be honest, if I had read the forum before installing the test version back then, I'm not sure I would have ever tried the game! I'm used to OFs having a negative vibe (ESO says hello...), but this one is a bit of a dumpster fire.
Maybe the mods use it as a social experiment?

Anyway, was thinking about older games today that I'm really fond of and would deserve some kind of remake/remaster/re-release to get more attention than they got back then.
1. Terranigma on the Super Nintendo, sadly is not available anywhere outside of shady ROM sites. I'm glad I still have my physical copy! Iirc that one wasn't released outside Japan/Europe?
2. Legend of Dragoon on PS1, loved that one and still have my copy. Sadly it didn't sell well so the sequel was axed, but seems to be seen as a cult classic today and is quite rare.
3. Lost Odyssey on Xbox360, not that old but great game with an interesting story and has Final Fantasy vibes all over it for obvious reasons.

Do you also have old games you're nostalgic about?

There are companies out there that will make a physical copy of that translated version of a game if you want. You can pick the cartridge color and everything.

Such examples being Seiken Densetsu 3 or Sweet Home.

God there's DOZENS OF US now who are Terranigma enjoyers. Dozens!!! Terranigma's my fave game of all time :3 I'm hoping they give it the HD2D remakeover like they did for Live A Live and Actraiser myself, it'd be perfect. Japan, Europe, and Australia got Terranigma, but the US was still in its Very Puritan, No Religion Allowed phase for games so I emulated it so long ago. I have a physical copy though, with a PAL SNES to play it.

I'm just glad they did a good job with Seiken Densetsu 3 when they made Trials of Mana.

Which gives me hope for some non-US release games Bahamut Lagoon, Terranigma... I'd go pretty feral for any of the Soul Blazer game trilogy to get remastered like that, tbh. I still need to get myself Actraiser, Mana, and Live A Live, too... so many games, so little money haha.

I'll say you need Live A Live, they gave the music an upgrade that still has that grab it had on the SNES so many years ago. I've already shown the updated Go! Go! Steel Titan! sung by the legendary Hironobu Kageyama, but the updated main theme is also one hell of a glorious thing.
