I’ve seen a few different ones, although I haven’t seen one specifically for PC games. I’ve seen Etsy shops like this one and websites like this one for mini versions.

Well the people playing melee today aren’t doing it for the 4 player all items on free for all mode. Most people who play fighting games enjoy the competitive aspect, in which the two are pretty different.

You really don’t see the competitive differences between the two? Lol
- Comment on Discussion: DBZ Legacy of Goku trilogy 4 weeks ago:
My uncle randomly bought legacy of Goku 2 for me when it came out; I was a bit too young to fully beat it so I remember him helping me out with the fights with cell. Buus fury is the one I dumped a ton of time into; I remember being blown away that you could fly around the map. A lot of time was spent on gamefaqs trying to figure out how to get more zeni and level up my characters. Just incredible games, I’ve been wanting to replay them too! Still have my og copy of buus fury which I’m so happy about.

That’d be cool if that was true… But I installed nobara on my brand new PC and kingdom come crashed when I fast traveled, Hades 2 ran at like 20 fps, and dragons dogma just wouldn’t launch. I get Linux is cool and all but I don’t have time to troubleshoot every game I install anymore…

Blue dragon plus, Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky, radiant historia, the world ends with you, and the legend of Zelda phantom hourglass were all se highlights from my childhood. Phantom hourglass might be kind of hard on emulator though.

It is pretty cool seeing stuff you did in the old games relate to what is going on now in the game… But I feel like they didn’t expand on it enough for it to be solely the reason to play the next two games. The biggest highlight is morrigan and leliana, who both have a big role in 3. Alistair kinda pops up every now and then, and the rest are non-existent in the other games besides passing mentions. Same situation for your companions in DA2, one is returning companion in DAI, others are like oh remember them?
I would say the biggest decider on whether or not it’s worth is if you performed the ritual with morrigan. However, the result of that is kind of just swept under the rug since it seems like they were predicting they were gonna use that in the next DA game. But since the original DA4 got scrapped and there’s no real save import for veil guard and they’ve said they just kinda chose their own canon it seems kind of pointless.
Ultimately my advice is the same as above; watch a YouTube summary, or if you’re feeling really frisky, read the DA wiki on the people you’re interested in.

So there’s a mechanic in the base game where to start quests you have to wait X hours in real life. And to unlock those quests to start the timer, you need “power” which is gathered from doing side quests or clearing a repeatable encounter. Combine this with all of the grinding stuff like gathering herbs and unlocking fast travel spots everything is a drag.
There are mods to reduce or even remove those requirements I listed so it’s up to you how “cheaty” you want to get. I essentially removed the timer, doubled my power and XP gain, and removed the harvesting animation (honestly the best mod). Even then, after only doing main story quests, what I felt were important side quests, and like half of the companions quests, and only the final dlc to see the true ending, it still took me 55 hours…
Best I can say is start it up and when the game dumps you into the first map, only do the main story quests and then move onto the next zone. Because each map honestly probably has its own 55 hours of picking up rocks and killing bandits.

Origins by a mile. There’s just so much thought put into the overall story and the gameplay really harkens back to bioware’s heyday of crpgs. Mages are a blast to use and there’s still some strategy in the combat. DA2 was rushed in every sense of the word and it’s blatantly apparent. The whole story takes place in one city, there are like 3 unique dungeon maps that are reused over and over again, and the gameplay was changed to basically be an arpg i.e. hold down M1 and you win. Inquisition was like they tried to return to form but EA said fill every pixel of the map with fetch quests and herbs to gather. What should’ve been like a 25 hour story driven game becomes a 90 hour slog fest.
I’d honestly just say play origins, then watch a story summary on YouTube for the other two.

If you enjoy crpg’s, definitely. There’s a lot of player agency and the companions are for the most part interesting to talk to. Completing every quest will you burn you out fast, but if you just finish the ones that seem interesting to you you’ll have a good time. DLC is pretty hit or miss though.

I replayed all three games this year so I can be even more throughly disappointed at the decline of this series.

That’s true, but won’t stop you from buying fakes. The best thing you can do is to educate yourself on what a fake looks like, especially if you’re going to be buying pokemon emerald for $200.

No one is going to be making a fake Madden 99 cart for the gbc, it’s always going to be the heavy hitters like pokemon or atlus games. Idk how they prevent fakes on both ends tbh, from taking in fakes to selling them as well. But if they’re going to sell them they better be responsible about it.
In any case, isn’t it illegal for them to not ensure they’re legit? Selling counterfeits is definitely illegal
