I'm lovin' this era of gaming.
But I will only love you if you play Suikoden II like, NOW, what the hell are you waiting for, do you enjoy depriving yourself of the single greatest experience you will ever have as someone who plays videogames? This is now a thread where Snake demands you all play Suikoden II until you submit and realize that your life will be complete once you do

I've looked at Suikoden on PSN a number of times and have thought about buying it. Since 2's out and there's a bonus for porting your Suiko1 save file over. It's probably time for me to consider getting them for my PSP go/PS3/and maybe soon Vita.

Bah, I'm still getting my ass kicked by Dungeon Siege 2 as far as me and RPG stuff goes.

Bring me Sly Cooper 5, then we'll start talking about a "Golden Age of Gaming".

Fuck yes HOMM3 re-release. I still play the GOG version, but you know, visual updates are nice when they're that old.

Still got my fingers crossed for a Fallout 1 and 2 re-release. I never got to play them as a kid. Couldn't get my Steam version to work, and the one time I briefly did, ugh it could use a new coat of paint.

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

King's Quest? pfah. Quest for Glory or go home.

Man I remember reading that Suikoden 1 was an extremely cookie cutter game which barely anyone played. Maybe I'll pick up 2, but I have to finish Wild Arms 2 and FFX-2 on my Vita too.

...Also maybe one day I should finish the Atelier games I bought, as much as I regret buying them.

[Amake]

Time to get back to Wake of the Gods (http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39810/) so one can properly appreciate HOMM3 old school before getting swept up in the new. (And hope 10% of all the added stuff works with the remake.)

[Ryong]

BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend is finally on Steam for twice as much as I paid for it on my Vita.

Fuck that.

Suikoden 2 is by far, the best RPG I have ever played. Suikoden 1 was just ok, but for some reason, Suik 2 just went above and beyond. 108, yes I just wrote that, 108 characters! Cooking contests! Awesome combat! Enthralling story! I don't have much patience for RPGs anymore, but I will still boot up my original PS1 (or my PS2) and play it through, and I will get all 108 Pokemon-I mean-characters.

I didn't even know this came out for the Vita. Any new stuff? Or is it just a port?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Just a port from the looks of it. it's listed as a PS1 classic.

Yeah, Suikoden plays like a traditional by-the-numbers RPG with the same story beats and plot twists you'll find in most other fantasy RPGs, while Suikoden 2 just elevates the formula with a really phenomenally executed story, fantastic characters, an iconic villain and a really nostalgic emotional resonance. Everything just clicks. It's hard to even describe why.

But everyone should definitely play Suikoden first because it adds so much more depth to 2 if you import a save.

[Azisien]

Oh wait. Ubisoft is behind the HOMM3 remaster. Fuck that.

[Ryong]

I wasn't aware Snake had a Vita. NFS Most Wanted 2012 is free on it.

Also fuck I bought Freedom Wars last month and the dollar just kept getting higher and higher and now I'm not buying anything on vita for a long time. Again.
