Picked up Phantasy Star 4 again; namely the Gen:4 hack that overhauls the script and adds in a bunch of details from interviews and such. Really enjoy it; I was playing through it a year or so back, but got sidetracked due to school and other obligations. Once I get through it, I kinda want to tackle Phantasy Star 3, as it being the odd duck in the series actually has me interested, but I figure I'll probably switch gears to Sakura Wars 2 or another Tales game.

It's sad that Sega couldn't even try making an overhauled version of the game.

Not a remake nor a remaster, just the same 16-bits classic with QoL improvements (like Phantasy Star Collection on the Saturn has brought such as faster walking speed).

I know the first Phantasy Star has a SEGA AGES release on Switch with a bunch of QoL improvements, like an AGES mode that smooths out the difficulty a little, or using the extra screen space to display stuff like character stats and dungeon layouts. Something like that for II-IV would be really cool to see.

Ok I know I might get slammed for saying this but here goes
Today I bought an original Gameboy at a flea market and I find it a piece of junk no colour small screen I can't believe people wasted money on this paperweight

I need to get my lazy butt moving..
Still need to play Blue Dragon on my 360 and also Gears of War 2 and 3,but hey
I at least played some Minecraft yesterday

oh fuck I need to finish Enslaved on my 360 first but I forgot the controls I have skipping on it to long now...and I remember I was directly in a Boss fight so I am screwed.

This was a nice version for sure and I'm still annoyed how the Sega Ages collection is still only on the e-shop (no Steam nor physical collection so far).

I still think that uppercase dialogues and cola/burgers should've been "fixed".

After playing Landstalker and Sonic 3D Blast again, starting to think that isometric games don't handle particularly well with a d-pad

Are you using the Genesis gamepad? I know this one has a way to make diagonals easier

Although I'd still prefer using a joystick even if it's not a proper analogue input for isometric games.

Yes, I'm using a third party pad though (SG ProPad 2). IDK, Sonic 3D Blast seemed a little bit more bearable with a thumb stick via Mega Collection

Tried playing Landstalker on my Pocket Go and Jesus, it was like trying to play curling with a 75 pound rock
