I’m just getting started with Ys myself having just finished I&II and moving to Origins. I’m playing on a Steam Deck and using this site to determine my play order.
So far I’m getting the impression that this series is going to be kind of like Zelda, but instead of exploration, puzzles and gizmos, you get storytelling, combat and magical items. There are probably much better comparisons to other popular franchises, but this is just what popped into my head as of starting Origins last night.
I would also say imperceptible. The 2 critiques I have are that the audio can sound compressed through headphones, and there’s sometimes a spike in lag that happens around 20m in during some sessions. If I just disconnect and reconnect without putting the PS5 to sleep (usually a <10s process), it never happens again during even long sessions.
Chiaki has legit been about 90% of my steam deck time. Anything newer or already in my PS+ collection I just stream. My deck is just for retro games and PC/Xbox gems that are playable on the system.
I just think the game needs to tone down the insanity a just bit so one bad player, or even just two mediocre players, doesn’t spell imminent failure. Or just improve rewards for failures. 40 minutes is a lot of irl time to have completely wasted if you fail. A lot of people just don’t have that kind of time to burn.
Allow the host to share their own strategems with their team. Then allow the host to set up automatic loadouts for their teams to choose whether to adhere to or not. If a player already has a preferred stratagem, they use their own. Otherwise they commandeer that one from the host. They would also be free to change to their own equipment if they want to.
Or just, you know, make the game a little easier so it doesn’t require only the most meta players to progress at a reasonable pace. I’m not a meta player, but I really can’t blame them with the difficulty of this game.
I got the email, but it’s for us residents only. I’m a U.S. citizen, but I haven’t been a resident in over a decade. At the very least, I actually appreciate that they’ve offered to provide something in turn for my unknowing contributions to their AI data base over the years when it feels like data harvesting is just a corporate entitlement these days.
It's one of the primary reasons I bought I deck. I game pretty much on PlayStation and do my work on a Mac, so the PC catalog has be largely unavailable to me until now. Anything built for PS4 forward (or ported from PS3) I don't mind buying on PS5 and streaming through Chiaki. Anything PS2 backwards (that never got a PC port or isn't already available on the PS+ subscription) is just easier to emulate. However, PS3 had a lot of gems that are only really available through the PC now, so I bought a deck to play those. Fallouts 3, NV, Final Fantasy XIII and the sequels I never actually had a chance to play, GTA IV. I hope I'll get to play the Killzone trilogy again someday.
I’d really love to have one, but that $3500 is going to have a bigger impact on my life if it stays in my bank account. I might eventually get a quest 3 to live the fantasy a little, though, if they borrow some of Apple’s tricks in a future OS update.
I apologize, this is a bit of an extreme comparison: If I were to ask you what needed to happen for Nazi Germany to have won WWII, and you gave an honest answer, would it be fair of someone else to take your answer as proof that people on the internet wanted the nazis to win? It shouldn’t matter how your quote is used because there are certainly Nazi supporters on the internet, which is the primary concern of the claim. Right?
I would like to know what the original question was.
