as a matter of fact, the PSX is my favorite console, period. The following games are some of the reasons why I feel this way
1) Star Ocean, the second story (angels sing whenever I mention that game)
2) Megaman, Legends (Never played the sequel, but it's a damn great game)
3) the first crash bandicoot (Oh how the mighty have fallen)
and those are only off the top of my head

the only good games ive played for the ps1 is the spyro series. i didnt have number 1 or 2 myself, but i just went over to a friend and then we kicked their ass. the spyro 1 was pretty good, number 2 was just about the same level of awesomeness and number 3, the only of them i have myself, was FUCKING AWESOME. it deserves the 10th place on my best games of all time. it was fun, varied, challenging and had a good length. the story wasnt that good, but the gameplay and humor covered it up faster than i could say "fireball".
FFX still looks amazing during the cutscenes. Graphics are MUCH better during cutscenes, oddly enough.Kermi said:
If the PS1 had the hardware capacities of the PS3, it'd be infinitely superior (Unless there's something I missed that "hardware capacities" doesn't cover...).
Off-topic quite a bit (Which means you can stop reading my post, as the rest of it doesn't contribute, but is still related to the PlayStation), I hope the PS4 has the hardware capabilities (Especially graphical quality) as the PS3 ('Cause that's about the best you can get without it looking like a live action movie, and I don't want that), had full backwards compatibility, and lots of good console-exclusive games (And is also small and lightweight, somehow.). Then, once the price drops down to a reasonable price, it would be one of the best consoles ever (Tied up with, hopefully, other eighth-generation consoles, as well as, in a few areas, the SNES. I know, it's an old system, but I still like it. It had good games.).
Wow, that was long. Felt good to say it, though, oddly...
I enjoyed the PS1 at the time and there are still a couple games I can go back and play (FFT and Chrono Cross chief among them) but frankly, due to the fact that it was still early 3D I find a lot of stuff on there nigh unplayable. I'm not one to complain about graphics normally but the PS1 graphics didn't age very well.
Can someone answer something for me? Why does everyone spell ridiculous as "rediculous" here? Is that the British spelling of it? Here in Canada its with an "i" and we usually use the British spellings.

I don't see why you have top turn the entire thread into an argument about a game that you personally dont like, and are questionign others as to why they do like it? The others who stand with millions of others who like the game for that matter. So just leave it yeah? You're just trying to get into an argument about a game you don't like, with poeple who don't like it. If you want to do that, go and hijack another thread or, here's a thought, create your own about ff8?Psychosocial said:
Back to the thread.. yeah crash bandicoot has to be one of the names to go on the hall of fame list, boosting the psx well up there. Only the first one mind, the rest were.. lacking. As for spyro.. Ugh o_o that's all i can say about him. And yeah.. Tekken 2 was a hella game. That along with Mortal Kombat Trilogy on ps1 formed an awesome fighting game tag team
I'm sure everyone thinks their respective console was the ruler of them all.
I loved the PSX, but I realise that Almost all of my favourite games of all time are on the N64, from Perfect Dark, to Zelda: OOT, to F-Zero X. To me perfect Dark beat out every fps at that time, and still holds it's own to this day, the only downside being that it's dog slow.
The Playstation family had two generations of accepting an arse load of shovelware along with quality titles, but the quality titles were awesome.

For the time Final Fantasy 8 was released it was amazing. The graphics easily blew everything else out of the water (especially the cutscenes, those were like visual blowjobs at the time).
The fighting system was essentially like all the FF games, except for the draw mechanic, which I agree was sort of annoying but never stopped me from enjoying the game. It felt rewarding levelling up and the use of GFs was the best I have seen in any FF game yet (btw you can skip their intros). Each character had clear strengths and weaknesses, which demanded quite some strategy in building your team (especially at the many story moments that require you to split your team). The synergy development system is a bit hard to get into and the use of magic is counter-intuitive to say the least, but if you master it you can really customize your team to your best wishes.
The music was solid, I was pretty young when I played it first and I really liked the 'big choruses' and the 'whahahahah' type of music that Spoony seems to hate. It made the game feel a bit more grand and epic. It definetly set the mood.
The story, while extremely linear like all FFs, was decent. Nothing special, the characters are kind of strange like in all FF games. The main love-plot is sort of useless, but then again this is FF. All it had to do was string together the interesting locales to fight in, and it was competent enough to do that.
The world map has a large scale, it feels good exloring it and hunting for more GFs.
I just think that whenever you approach a game like FF8 (or any of the series for that matter) with too much realism in mind and try to tear it to bits on that ground you just kind of miss the point. His videos are funny and most of his criticisms are valid but definetly blown out of proportion.
Oh yea, the game taught me to read English. It was more succesful at that than the school education system in Germany.
Personally I think that Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex strikes back is the best Crash game and the best game of all time. Also, don't forget Crash Bash has been the only good party game ever.Bluebacon said:
Crash 2 was good dont get me wrong, but I loved all the varied levels in Crash 3. Also the time trials and extra powers were so much fun. Crash 1 was incredably difficult though. The bridge levels were murder, and trying to get the gems was just painful.nathan-dts said:
See i remember playing through about 20 minutes of Crash 2 and just knowing it wasn't going to be good i removed it. Is it crash 2 or 3 that has crash and his girlfriend (wtf) playing through different 'doorways' that reminded me of stargate to get to a new level? Because that game sucked too
