starcrunch061 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 HOLY CRAP!! I was so overtaken by the nostalgia trap that I didn't even see the big discount on The Old Hunters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taobaka Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The important question is will EU also get a sale like that? Considering you're talking about classics, we had a lot of such sales already. Also, never buy PS2 classics in EU, they've used PAL versions for most of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Old games are best left in the past. Nostalgia is exactly what it is. http://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/the-nostalgia-trap-dont-let-fond-memories-ruin-your-gaming-future/ http://www.vice.com/read/unchecked-video-gaming-nostalgia-is-a-frightful-disease-and-must-be-stopped-spectrum-commodore-neo-geo-sega-015 http://www.psychologyofgames.com/2013/11/the-psychology-of-video-game-nostalgia/ http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/11/nostalgia-video-games/416751/ A lot of crazy crap in those articles, but for the guy who obviously did NOT read The Odyssey, Odysseus absolutely did NOT turn down the offers from the sexy sorceresses, nymphs, etc. He took up all of them on their offers, and STILL returned home to his beloved Ithaca. Gamers can have their cake and eat it, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergil Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The important question is will EU also get a sale like that? Depends how they see it. Since ps3 was released in 2007 in Europe, meaning its not been around for 10 years. The Double discount is still on for another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREDRAG-K Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Anybody who loves JRPGs or LEVEL-5 games, buy Rogue Galaxy. I can't recommend that game enough. An awesome JRPG that unfortunately got overlooked because it released in NA in 2007 (the "end" of the PS2 era). Also, Bloodborne and the DLC for it are amazing. Best souls game, in my opinion.

KingGuy420 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Despite being a jrpg fanatic, I've somehow always missed out on Xenogears. For 2$ it might finally be the time to right that wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awf9495 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I suppose how good or bad this sale is depends on how many older games a person has played and how important trophies are to them. For hardcore trophy hunters, the pickings are pretty slim. For others that don't mind checking out older titles, this sale features some of the most influential, iconic games ever made. If you are in the latter category, I highly recommend Symphony of the Night and Chrono Trigger. Both are regarded as among the best games ever made and hold up incredibly well. I just played Chrono Trigger for the first time a few years ago and was absolutely blown away. For PS2 classics, Katamari Damacy is some of the most delightful insanity you will ever experience and Suikoden III is criminally underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) ****! jumped all around my room when seen Rouge Galaxy, then got so disappointed when I learn I'm one dollar short..... I had to be a freaking ps plus member to get the game for $5, why they didn't let none plus subscribers to get those games for only $5? i'll wait for week two and see what they add there T_T Edited November 8, 2016 by yellowwindow7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 May get the DLC for Bloodborne (Already have the base game) and the Beyond Two Souls/ Heavy Rain bundle. I'm trying to save but its so tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Those are the whiniest articles I've ever read. It's possible to be nostalgic AND not be stuck in the past, you know. Many gamers missed out on some of these titles, or judging from some posts, weren't alive when they were released. Closing yourself off to any games over X years old is completely ignorant. It's like saying studying world history should only encompass the last 12 years. Everything else is best left in the past. If you're someone born between 1992 and 2002 then you probably missed out on a library of games. I have several games on my profile including the Mega Man Legacy collection which date back to the late 1980s. There are plenty of people out there much older than me who played the old arcade games in the 1970s, but they still purchase and enjoy modern day games. The problem I have with people are those in their mid 60s to early 90s who wish it was still the 1980s, still pretend it's the 1980s and absolutely refuse to accept any new solutions and ideas. These are the people stuck in the past, they have done nothing new in the past 30 or so years of their lives and look down on younger people. Like that old granny who complains about everything but wants to be sent back to the 1950s - 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab4h4r4k1 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The only ones that really caughts my eye are Grandia 3 and Suikoden 3. Still, I'm not buying them; I am way past these sony baits to spend money when we know that big sales are coming on the last two months. Anyway, for those interested in RPGs, Xenogears, Grandia, Chrono Trigger and Castlevania - Symphony of the Night are great games that must be played at least once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60+ year olds are playing Spacewar on their mainframes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as you are entitled to choose what you experience, they are just as entitled to choose what they experience. It's also why I prefaced my post with "It's possible to be nostalgic AND not be stuck in the past, you know." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
