I only played a bit of Diddy but it seemed good, why is it so beloved though? Also am I going to bounce off Valkyrie Profile for the like, 5th time? Probably yes, but Lenneth is so fucking cool man I wanna' play! ;(

A PS1 prequel of sorts to Shadow Hearts, considered by most people to be not worth your time and not a great game. I think that's a little harsh, the combat is bad, but everything else is really good I think: the gothic horror JRPG vibes are even stronger here than in Shadow Heart, the story is grounded and simple but it's the characters that really made this worth it for me, offering me a cast and party dynamic that was better than what Shadow Hearts offered, with great voice acting for a PS1 game albeit really hammy at times. I would only reccomend this if you REALLY like Shadow Hearts and/or you're one of those people that can stomach at times crippling gameplay to get the parts of a game that are good. (In other words, Xenosaga 2 players lol)

There are more of these than I remember, including a Vita one apparently! That's pretty cool.

Is Wipeout 2097 better than Wipeout 3 y/n?

Also are either better than the Wipeout games on PSP? I believe you can either get all the PSP ones on PS5 separately or as a big gigapack or that was a romhack I saw. (Or both)

I'm finding tracks quite narrow in 2097, in the sense that I keep colliding with the people I hit with my missiles and end up not actually overtaking the racer. :clown:

Also been playing a fair bit of Crash Team Racing lately and I was watching a video from GVG (love Jon Cartwright) and they seemed pretty unanimous in saying Diddy Kong Racing is better than Mario Kart 64. I tried both out, Diddy for the first time and…I can see it, CTR better than both though.

For like the 5th time I'm on my Soul Calibur 3 bullshit and for what feels like over a year since starting it I finally beat Arcade Mode with every character and dump all my gold from doing it to buy 'Create a Character' stuff for the 'Chronicles of the Sword' mode. This is a mode where you can use pre sets or make your own fighters for use in a mix of the fighting game and a strategy game, I've been really looking forward to this and it hasn't disappointed me yet, once more a Soul Calibur game delivers a fantastic single player experience.
