Its why you can still go back and play great old games like Suikoden, or Final Fantasy, or Street Fighter, or whatever, without issue. cause they are timeless.
I am glad a Suikoden 1 & 2 collection is coming. I missed out on them back in the day and 3 which I played but never finished. I finished 4 and later, including Tactics and Tierkreis.
IF it comes out, its been years, already, and Konami isnt exactly the best company. I still hold true to the belief they only announced it to take thunder away from that game the suikoden creators made, never expecting the massive immediate interest which made them do a definitive “oh shit”, which probably accounts for the delays, since it probably didnt get started until they realized they put themselves in a corner, lol.
I dont blame you for not finishing 3, Imho 3 is the weakest of the suikoden games, the way the main story is divided between 3 prospectives that you keep bouncing between really hinders getting into it, at least in my opinion. by the time they all converge together at the end, it feels like you’ve only just started getting into the game and now its over.
4 had a good story, but I feel like they cranked the encounter rate up when they realized it didnt have enough game to last 40+ hours otherwise, because holy shit you cant seem to move more than 2 steps without a random battle.
5 is, I think, the distillation of everything good about Suikoden into 1 game. It shed all the bad mechanics, enhanced all the good mechanics, had a brilliant story, characters you fall in love with, and more. I would LOVE to see 5 come to PC. I dont even need a remaster, just a straight port.
And thats saying a lot because Suikoden 1 and 2 were goddamn brilliant, exceptional masterpieces in their own right.
Personally, I think 1 holds up better. 2 isn’t bad by any means, but it was one of the first games with physics and the physics puzzles get old fast. It was amazing at the time, but now it’s not as interesting because we’ve seen it a million times.
is real good. and stands up too. still as good today as it was 20 years ago.
except the bridge level.
Fuck the bridge level.
I still play Ridge Racer Type 4, so I do appreciate well designed games that hold up decades later.
yep. Good games are timeless.

1 is just a multilevel death match.
