Good for a chillout session with the boys, with enjoyable story and much needed lack of wokeness.

Pretty barebones on release, but looks like it's getting constant updates.

A++ would serve the Imperium again

Feel like I'm a 10 year that just picked this up from the local store with his mate again... except having to take timeoff work to actually play it this time around. 25 years later after my original playthroughs, and I can still remember so much about this game.

- updated visuals with old pixel models is actually legit
- being able to use OG soundtrack *chefs kiss*
- Universe difficulty so far hasn't been nerfed, so can still get one shot and keep it engaging during fights
- QoL features they've added are good, being able to pick and choose random encounters to an extent, fast travelling between towns etc. Things you would sometimes forget you'd want, and things that make NG+ super quick with being able to skip scenes



Legend of Dragoon, Vandal Hearts, Till the End of Time, Legend of Legaia are some others I'd hope to see come out at some point, but mostly unlikely sadly.

Pretty good RPG, if not a little short. Story was ok, but is probably better if you know more backstory on the characters from the comics.

Pacing of the combat is a bit slow, and once you hit pretty much end game everything becomes cheese, especially with ultimate weapons. The main issue was with the RNG needed for some of the encounters for dungeons (I'm looking at you Mana Rifts), otherwise apart from that I would definitely recommend this.

Would prefer to have a neutral option, as game ran perfectly fine for me, but was a very underwhelming title.

- forgettable characters
- garbage story (yay religion...)
- who thought the sound effects were a good choice?
- monsters all look like a monsters vomit
- Raul Hills a special stage? No special dungeons at all that are actually challenging?

I had bought this when first released on the PC in disk form, and never got into it then. I tried it again after recently finishing the first instalment (which is one of my all time favourite JRPGs), and was blown away how it went from such a great first game to this, not even in the same league. The dialogue and voice acting are sub par, and a lot of the time it is pointless chatting. The game itself would have taken probably close to 10hrs less than what it did, if I hadn't gone AFK quite a bit due to losing interest; the achievements are the only reason I wanted to finish this.

TLDR - game runs no issues, if it doesn't for you then you're doing something wrong. Game is just average in every sense of the word.

As good as I remember it 20 years ago, only with slightly updated visuals which stops my eyes bleeding too much. Grandia is still, and always will be in my top 5 of best JRPGs of all time.

Now we just need Legend Of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Star Ocean Second Story and a couple others to make their way to an HD port.

Reach is garbage. Period.

- buggy co-op
- buggy lobbies with friends in MP
- if you're not using a controller then gg instant disadvantage
- DMR starts on every map, cool story
- all round ♥♥♥♥ MP on Reach, do not rate the game at all even before PC

CE

- campaign is fine, no issues really
- MP is a lagfest, and never was any good anyways (might just be due to the fact I always get lobbied into servers in Asia)

Halo 2

- co-op is ok, but have found certain levels will cause crashes during co-op (such as the first Arbiter mission, crashes on cut scene when the heretic locks himself behind door). Have found skipping cut scenes gets around this sometimes, but you shouldn't have to.
- MP is ok, but constantly getting sent into Asia or the US, when in Australia is pretty ♥♥♥♥, reg goes out the window completely
- stutter with H2A at high framerate is a bit ♥♥♥♥
- melee on both classic and H2A seem to miss even when standing still?

Halo 3

- MP is as it was on the 360, mostly smooth (performance wise, not network/connection) and enjoyable, though a lack of all the old game modes is pretty average (I am aware this is intended thanks)
- haven't touched campaign or co-op yet on PC
- servers are just sub par mostly. I am in AU, and am always playing in Singapore etc? Would be nice to not play with unbelievable delay on everything and ghost bullets

Halo 4

- haven't tried campaign/co-op yet so can't comment
- MP so far has been ok, cross play has definitely helped
- no actual complaints myself for this title

Having played Turok 1 and 2 as a child, I am nothing short of stoked to be able to play this, at a full 3440x1440 resolution, with beautifully enhanced visuals, and right off the bat easy controls. Was a game I had spent many, many hours playing with my brothers, and more.

The price threw me off a little bit, but anyone that is buying this game shouldn't really care about the price. If we get Turok 2, with MP; that would be heaven.

Two thumbs up from me.

Just the same as when first released, have spent an overnighter playing the game without even noticing.

- Mulitplayer works fine? Haven't had a single problem with it, so the others whinging clearly need to learn how to PC.
- No FPS stutter at all, must be tough having a PC that can't run a 15 year old game.
- While no RMG, you still have the map editor so can still run custom game types.
- Graphic enhancements are noticeable.
- Developers have said they were working on getting the expansions sorted, why cry?

There is no reason to not buy this through steam, unless you're cheap. The game runs flawless, just get a real PC.
