What Bernie is playing... :)

Ys III on PCE is amazing, thats for sure. But honestly, if the Genesis version had come out on Mega/Sega CD, I would say that would be the definitive version of Ys III. It had the great graphics, smooth scrolling, and I love the genesis six button pad. If it had red book audio, it would have been my version of choice.

Though that didn't happen, so the PCE wins hands down for me.

No pro anything but PCE in my thread bitch!!!    Sega my ass.....

The downfall with anything Genesis is that lack of colors. I'd sooner take more colors of the DUO over smooth scrolling backgrounds of the Genesis any day.

I've only played the TG-16 and the SNES versions and I honestly like 'em both!  I picked it up on the Turbografx-16 back when it was new and only picked up the SNES version a year or two ago, so I have had a longer relationship with the TG-16 one, but the smooooooth scrolling and some of the more detailed sprites found in the SNES version are really nice as well.

Hmmm I feel qualified to say that since I was playing Sega stuffs from Bernie and PCE stuffs from Bernie today.  Thanks BTW!  That anything and I mean anything would be better on the PCE than Sega.  While the Sega stuff is cool, it's just a place for average platformers and RPG's.  THE PCE IS FOR AWESOMENESS. Ys3=awesomeness therefore PCE WINS!

But seriously, I really enjoyed YsIII, just not nearly as much as 1 and 2.  I don't know what it's missing for me, it just doesn't feel the same to me after you get done, somehow less epic.

For myself i prefer Ys 1&2 more then III.I still think Ys III was more of a filler title that should have been more.Still it's remake,the oath in felghana was more of a complete game and flesh out characters to.

Well, finished Ys III tonight. 




Now on to Ys IV. 

[esteban]

HOLY CRAP.

It's been a long time since I've played all the TURBO Ys games...

...IF I RE-PLAY THEM, I will HAVE TO PLAY THEM ALL...

I know it doesn't matter so much (story-wise), but I think they are best enjoyed in the order of their release.

STATUS: This will not happen anytime soon. BUT I AM WILLING TO NOT WATCH THE BOND FILMS IN ORDER OF THEATRICAL RELEASE in order to play YS games on PCE.

ALSO: Did you know that I'll want to play the SMS Ys FIRST, then play TURBO Ys Book I & II? Hell yes, that's what I want to do. There's a special place in my heart for the SMS Ys.

I refuse to replay the Ys games until the pressed Ys IV translation comes out.

DO IT!

[EvilEvoIX]

The Genesis can be quite clever with Colors.  Sonics and Dynamite Heddy and Ranger X makes plenty of use of color.  Hell even Toy Story has well over 200 colors on screen at one point.  I prefer the animation of Earthworm Jim or Aladdin any day.

I know what Bernie isn't playing.


ANYTHING HE HAD SAVES FOR ON HIS DUO.


Bernie's curse has apparently been transferred to me. 



Last weekend I went up to Bernie's for a quick visit before I move 1K miles away to the Kansas City, MO area.  We're all about the OBEY.  we were checking out home brews, translations, all sorts of random stuff. 

We did a bunch of co-op.  Dungeon Explorer is still better as a co-op game. (don't pick the Elf - he sucks) Bonk 3...  WTF!?  It's basically unplayable unless both players have already memorized the game.  There are areas that, as far as we experienced, were unpassable playing co-op.  Lots of fun, in a crazy, "let's turn this off and got drink beer" sort of way. :/

But then the unthinkable happened.  Bernie wanted to show me Vasteel since I mentioned I'd never played it before.  Groovy, I thought.

We start it up and it tells us that there isn't enough space for a save file - overwrite?  Of course we selected "No".  Then I played the game for awhile (great game, but much more challenging than Military Madness at the start - and what's with that elevator music!?). 

I don't remember exactly what happened next, but we soon realized that Vasteel had messed up the internal saves.  So we tried to come up with a hucard that had the ability to delete specific files. 

To make a short story long, all of his saves were wiped.  So apparently the curse has found a new host.

I still love ya!  .

I still have Sorcerian sitting here in a box for you Bernie. When I go back though and pull stuff out of my closet I will slap it in a mailer and send it to you so you can play it again.

Most awesome!!

Where'd ya get stuck?  I've never had any such problem, even when playing with my nephews (they don't know the game at all). 

[Bernie]

We never actually got "stuck", just found areas that were VERY aggravating when playing with two people.
