Very reasonable reaction, honestly. XIII is my favorite in the entire series but I get crucified at least monthly for that opinion. XIV was fun for a month, I'm not big on MMOs. XV was cool but it has 0 replay value for me. I never got around to XVI, not sure if my PC can run it.
I don't really like 13, but I certainly won't criticize you for liking it, I'm not this kind of person. Rather, when you feel willing, I'd love to hear from you in a PM why you like it; maybe I never gave it a fair shot.
I know! I miss the turn based system. Something about the story writing just got so much more...formulaic? Its like they stopped wanting to take risks and just keep chugging out the same stuff that 'works'.
True for every fanbase to some extent, yes, for better or worse... mostly worse.
In practice you're right, but the system is vile. The prickly maze of legalese will always find ways to say no.
This is why video game copyright laws need to be rewritten.
Kingdom Hearts Coded and Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis in particular are notable for this, though efforts in preserving Coded have been coming along pretty well, to the point that an emulator's been made for the phone it released on, and you can play the demo portion that iirc came with every one of the phones. I'm not sure how well Before Crisis has been preserved, but I'm fairly certain that there's a good amount of decent quality screenshots and gameplay out there.
They also made Charlie Murder, which thankfully was released on Steam, and is still fully playable, with multiplayer and everything! It's kind of odd that the sequel was ported to PC, but the original wasn't... I'm sure that if a copy of the 360 files for the game were released (if they haven't already been), it would be possible to emulate it using Xenia.
The original BS is lost but you can play the remake
Unfortunately it was retooled from being a Nomura game being a slightly tweaked Nomura game. (Context: I don’t buy the false hype that VSXIII and Nomura’s so called “lost vision” was gonna save the industry, but that’s likely the KH pessimist in me)
They're trying to find them all. We just have to be vigilant and lend help in any way we can to groups trying to make sure old cellphone games are preserved.There are a lot of lost Mega Man mobile games.
