I love Vagrant Story so much and play my PS1 version every few years. I’d love a properly done remake (with the text and localisation done just right!) but I doubt it will ever happen - think I have more chance of playing Half Life 3

I thought that until I checked a One4all gift card I’d been given ages ago to find that the balance had been reduced to nil as they charge a monthly ‘management fee’ of 90p. Such a scam

The day I upgraded and went to move a file from one drive to another, and the Move To option was no more… 🤯

This annoys me every day more than words will ever describe

Timber Hearth in Outer Wilds - I’m very, very late to playing this game, but the soundtrack is my new work playlist

I love that I’m one of the weirdos that really liked Alien3.

Not Resurrection though - that can get in the bin

All my old games are in boxes in the loft, but the PS1 cases are probably the only ones I’d put on a shelf again for aesthetic purposes

Unpopular opinion, but I miss the consistent spine design on the PAL cases. White on black, and black on grey for the platinum version - always looked clean and classy on a shelf

Could honestly watch this all day - you are so talented!!

“Superman…” 😭

I played DDLC a few weeks ago and it was wild - Yuri was definitely the best!

Always great seeing FFXIII getting some love - will always be one of my favourites

Just mopping up some last bits of exploration then will be going for the DLC. Genuinely found some of the early game unexpectedly terrifying (the first trip to Giants Deep was brutal!!) but I loved the whole “following breadcrumbs” gameplay

OMG just rolled credits on Outer Wilds (I don’t get chance to play often which is why it had taken so long). Don’t think I’ve ever played a game that has had me thinking so much about it when not playing

Easily one of the best games I’ve played 🤯

100% Edith Finch - I played it for the first time a few weeks ago during a gaming rut when I couldn’t motivate myself on what to play next, and it was manna for the soul (if a little emotional at times)

🫡

I picked up Outer Wilds in the last Steam sale and it’s next on my to do list 😬

God I loved Vagrant Story - and not afraid to admit I picked up the strategy guide 🫢 Just hoping that now that a FF Tactics remake is on the way, a Vagrant Story remake should be next… 🤞🏻

“Enhanced” by PlayOnline - such a misnomer, especially in the days when going online meant booting up a PC and hitting that dial up 🫠

Takes me back to doing all my GCSE coursework on my PCW 8256 - with a bit of MicroDesign when I needed it to look flashy

Yes! Released as Fahrenheit in the UK and Europe, but had so many clever ideas that found their way into Heavy Rain and Detroit. The ending was a bit trippy, but was still a great game

The AC franchise is one of my favourites, but the inconsistency is rough at times!! Hope you manage to stick with AC3, the story element improves during the later segments

Playing this at launch and going from Ezio to Connor was such a disappointment 😩 although the parkour through trees mechanic was fun

Ape Escape! Everything about this was a joy!

Is that… a bottle of Vagrant Story wine?!?? 😲

But put it this way - it came out 15 years ago and I still think about it now 🥹

Yeah I get that - I think lots of the specifics of the game are left deliberately vague and ambiguous. There is plenty of speculation online about the real meaning of the game (Where is the boy? Why is he there?) but I remember reading that the game’s dev never gave a canon explanation

Limbo is a masterpiece! Bought it on Xbox Live a million years ago, and at least 3 other platforms since.

Full of ingenious mechanics and lots of eureka moments - and it’s atmospheric af

I played GRIS a few years ago when I was in a really low patch - I’ve never felt a game resonate with me more before or since. Not a word get spoken, yet it speaks volumes. And the soundtrack became my go to chill playlist.

Always love seeing GRIS getting some appreciation ❤️

Damn, that FFXIII scene 😭
