First the webstore keeps throwing up errors when I try to complete my transaction, tells me to try again later. Then when I try to manually add funds to my wallet, it asks for the password and throws up a "incorrect password/sign in" error. So, I try changing my password, and still get the same errors. Between this kind of shit, and the terrible Vita download speeds, I've about fucking had it with Sony.

Though even for a dollar, I'm not touching Legend of Dragoon.  Flaming pile of shit, that one.

I wish it was Legend of Legaia instead, I'd definitely buy that for a dollar.

Lol. Sorry Eel, I bought them on the webstore at work.

I finally got through by using the Vita. Their servers were probably fucked on the web end at the time.

Legend of Dragoon for 99 cents? :yeshrug
Title: Re: PSN Flash Sale - $1 PS1 games
Post by: Purple Filth on July 11, 2014, 09:23:34 PM
that is literally the worst $0.99 you can spend on PSN today, including crappy PSN avatars

damn man that's pretty fucking harsh.


borrowed the game long ago and it was :larry tbh (although i doubt age took kindly to it lol).

Dino Crisis 2 is really fun judging by what I played at my cousins house way back.
Title: Re: PSN Flash Sale - $1 PS1 games
Post by: AdmiralViscen on July 11, 2014, 10:10:35 PM
What is Legend of Dragoon like? I remember playing FF8 and seeing it in Game Informer and wanting it, but never trying it

Also Dino Crisis is straight tank controls right?

Is Syphon Filter still good?

Legend of Dragoon is one of those games I surprisingly never bought back in the day... but it seems really divisive - a love it or hate it kinda game.

I agree- people who have any sort of taste at all tend to hate it, because it's a derivative piece of shit, and then people who will gladly eat any old turd shoveled their way sort of like it, because hey! another turd to eat.

Leaning towards buying nothing due to the PS3 80029564 error that prevents you from installing shit you've paid for, that Sony hasn't fixed despite updating my console 3 times since it started occurring.

I like how we're up in arms over a dollar. I'll gladly throw a buck just to see hot "shitty" the same supposedly is.

I got all three Syphon Filter games.

First one is super clunky. Second one refines things a bunch and is much more playable.

the original syphon filter is one of my most favourite game, if you aren't going around tasering the shit out of every terrorist you are playing it wrong!

Legend of Dragoon is one of those games I surprisingly never bought back in the day... but it seems really divisive - a love it or hate it kinda game.

legend of dragoon desperately wants to be final fantasy,almost as bad as a kickstarter game so there is like, every rpg trope ever, there is the amnesiac hero, it's female childhood friend that wants the hero dick really bad but can never seems to get it, the old kungfu man that double as the party mentor, the mysterious chick that know the hero from some past event but won't tell, the big evil empire that's spend half of his time attacking the peacefull weaker kingdom and the other kidnapping the hero childhood friend...

consider that the game opens and that the first thing that happens is that the hero village get burned down, that's how painfull derivative it is, now that i think about it i seems to remember the game also has it's own sephiroth wannabe :lol

if you somehow are able to ignore all of this, it's not an horrible game... the battle system has a timing element similiar to stuff like super mario rpg/shadow hearts and there is a gimmick where you can turn your character into power ranger mode for tougher boss fight, and it's nice going through a no-frill rpg with ye olde background CG and the like, definitely better than going through one of the more recent tales game or worse, a compile heart game!

one thing i found incredibly funny is that the character calls all their special attack name, i don't know how the english dub of the game is but the italian one was terribly bad so it was hilarious seeing the character shouts "VOOOOOOOOOOLCANOOOOOOOOOOOO" with the straighest face ever! :lol

Bought Virtua Fighter 2. But: VF5: Final Showdown should really be the $.99 game.  :'( No Vanessa. :'( :'( :'(

VF2 arcade mode is way harder than I remember.  I'm more used to VF4/VF5 style, but still, even Kage wrecks me.

I got all three Syphon Filter games.

First one is super clunky. Second one refines things a bunch and is much more playable.

all three are pretty clunky but I find the gameplay rhythm entertaining after all these years.  and I still wish more games should copy the danger meter.

for some reason I'm not allowed to buy 3. both options said I bought it, so I download it, and it's a PS Plus game  :wtf

I guess if it was on iOS it would just be another 5 star review  :lenowned

The dollar is nothing.  The time you invest in Legend of Dragoon that you'll never get back?

Well, it's your life.

:lol

Ok, point well taken. Still gonna buy it even if it's just to see how shitty it is! Maybe I'll whine about it on the Bore.

That, and they take up a lot of space. You don't see anyone asking about Harvest Moon at 64MB
Title: Re: PSN Flash Sale - $1 PS1 games
Post by: a slime appears on July 13, 2014, 10:28:08 PM
I also bought Harvesr Moon cause for a buck who cares? But file size is irrelevant these days and this isn't Nintendo so it's tied to your account for realsies.

Speaking of which 500GB on a PS4 / One is hilariously small. Gonna have to spring for an SSD upgrade for both at some point.
