Shadow Hearts 2 is a great & an incredibly underappreciated JRPG, they just don`t make them like that anymore.

@SolidTy: I`ve read on multiple occasions that a lot of people have poor DL speeds on PS4, i don`t think the size is the issue. For example, download speeds on my X360 is always fast, same thing when i had PS3. But if i start downloading something on PS4 sometimes it goes super fast then all of a sudden the speed considerably drops, even if something is 900 MB, it makes no sense.
It would be nice of them to put remasters of the first 2 games on XBLA & PSN as well, they are absolute classics of point n click genre. Can`t wait for Serpent Curse.
@d_parker: Especially with the horrible download speeds on PS4, i don`t understand how they messed that up. One instant it goes fast then suddenly it goes slow & stays that way for a long time. I didn`t have these problems on PS3 & X360.
Now this is what i`ve been waiting for, true classic jrpg, not some nonsense about a group of children in mini skirts saving the world.
Absolutely loved DQ8, can`t wait for this. Hope this genre comes back to life again.
@repulsive44552:
From what i understand, Metroid Prime is pretty much a Zelda game from first person perspective, other differences are shooting instead sword fighting & sci-fi setting. I can understand its apeal because games which are heavily inspired by Zelda & Metroid series is also my favorite genre (e.g. Metroidvania games).
But from my knowledge, there are no games from first person perspective which are like a Zelda game, or if you wish, like Metroid Prime series. You simply cannot accept that it seems, so you`re judging a whole genre because of that. Believe me, i`d very much like if there were more games like MP, but unfortunately there aren`t. I agree that FPS games aren`t as good as they were (call of duty clones, simple level design), but if you can`t enjoy games like Bioshock & Half Life 2 - which are considered by many as best examples of FPS genre - then this genre is simply not for you.
By the way, i`m not in the mood to read all this stuff again, but i remember you saying that MP & original Doom were prime examples of level design in FPS games; is there any other game which meets your criteria?
Lasagne, they have megaton of calories but nothing beats them if done properly.
Also, calamari on grill. They`re kinda like mini reapers, but delicious. Excellent with olive oil & parsley, don`t like tentacles though.
Crazy for croissants too.
@reduc_ab_: Especially Psycho Mantis did :p
@deuterium: Yea i don`t like lightweight feel in driving games, that`s why i love Gran Turismo - driving from cockpit in GT 5 & 6 felt authentic. Forza 3 & 4 were great games but they felt more like toys rather then real cars, at least from what i remember.
Personally, I love the handling in Driveclub. It's a nice middle ground between simulation (e.g. Project CARS) and arcade (e.g. new NFS games). It's relatively similar to NFS:Underground 2 driving if anything (minus the nitrous obviously); so you can go into a relatively tight turn by slamming the break a second or so just before the turn, dropping a gear or two (if you drive manual) and then full throttling at the apex, eventually getting a nice skid while going at a decent speed (you can add the handbrake to the equation if you're a skilled driver to have a nice drift turn); compared to simulation where you may have to slow down dramatically to take a tight turn or recent NFS games where you just double tap your brake button and drift into your turn at 200km/hr (120mi/hr).
It fits my taste of driving where fun and skill is balanced.
I hope this was comprehensive enough.
Lemme know if you have any further inquiries.

I have no idea how i missed this post. Thanks for your insight man, appreciate it.
One more question. If you`ve driven from cockpit view, do cars have that weighty/heavy feel or is it more on the lightweight side?
