Do you like the PC-FX?
« on: November 12, 2011, 04:44:33 PM »
I really love the console. It's probably the main reason I'm learning Japanese. But it seems not many other people love it and cherish it as much as I do. I have over 60 different systems and I play the FX so much. Do you love the FX?

"So, dive in and find out why the PC-FX is more than just a "white dating sim box"."

Regardless of how true the above statement is, all the images from various adventure/gal games/simulations aren't helping :p
k, enough trolling, lol

I do like the PC-FX, but I do not own one, yet. It's on my list. I've been this close to buying one of those untested "junk"-systems that pops up here and there.

I do love me some anime games (in healthy doses) so I believe I could like the system. Don't like the prices though : <
CHECKPOINT!

I like the PC-FX, but I love the Turbob and it's huge variety of quality games.

Rolfee is the PC-FX mascot, Yuna is the uber-crossplatform-mascot, and any character from Pia Carrot is legit.  :)

Dunno, man... I kinda think of the PC-FX the same way I do the 3DO or the Jaguar, only with more digital manga.

I like it, but mainly as a curiosity piece. It's cool when I want to bust out something a little off-the-beaten-path.

If I could only play one console for the rest of my life, I could easily choose the Turbo Duo, the SNES, Dreamcast, PS2, etc. I would never choose the PC-FX.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

It's not my favorite system, or even that close, but I do really like the PC-FX a lot. I love an underdog, and despite what the naysayers claim, there is some good stuff in the PC-FX's library (and I don't mean just the "big three" of Chip-chan Kick, Zeroigar, and Zenki).

Just got my PC-FX, and while most games are completely Japanese. I do find the system quite enjoyable. It's a nice piece of gaming history, and I'm glad I finally got one.

Sadly, I can't seem to get into a system that was meant for guys who sleep with giant pillows with anime girls on them or just plain girls for that matter...

I bought a PC-FX about a year ago, and it's a neat thing to have. It hasn't seen a lot of playtime to be honest, although it's seen WAY more than my 3DO. For better or for worse, this is one system where as soon as you start a game, you feel like you're blasting off into PC-FX Land, a place like none other.

You better like Japanese "gal-games" though. Even if the real number of dating-sims on the system isn't so huge, the degree to which the library in general tries to sell itself with cute anime girlies is a little unbalanced, to say the least. It's also a little embarrassing to try to show and explain to people. Playing alone, I often find myself asking "WTF am I doing?". Maybe I need to chill out, but I've been put off from more than one game because of this.

On one hand, the PC-FX still has its moments, owing mostly to Zenki, Zeroigar, and all the games that have fairly well-animated cutscenes. On the other hand, even with price and language issues set aside, this is one of the last underdog systems I'd ever recommend to anyone.

Only in a PC-FX forum would you see a question like, "Do you like the PC-FX?". I mean, they don't have questions like, "Do you like the Neo Geo" in a Neo Geo forum, or "Do you like the Famicom" on a Famicom forum. That's how pathetic the FX is.

Of course, if you asked "Do you like the 3DO" on a 3DO forum they probably wouldn't even be able to process the question since anyone who has a 3DO is just collecting junk for junk's sake. At least the FX is above that station.
