Gran Turismo 2

 

[Kat]

Gran Turismo 2

I almost picked this one, but.i have so many fond memories of NFS. The AI in that game was great, the drivers all had district driving styles, which made the game a lot of fun.

My most vivid memory of Gran Turismo is my cat turning the PlayStation off right before the end of a multi-hour endurance race sooo yeah.

That reminds me, my mom used to get so mad when I would beat her in Gran Turismo by scraping the walls instead of slowing down. "That wouldn't actually work!! You're only winning because the physics is bad!" I got an inordinate amount of pleasure from showing her that clip of a professional racer doing exactly that to great success a few years ago. She was... less amused than I was.

[VashTheStampede]

ROUND 3 ANALYSIS:

I think Zell got the best value with FFT, which I think some people could have seen as high as a late first round pick.

Not me though, I don't like it that much!

My preferred pick of the round goes to Kat, who picked an RPG that is approximately 2235 hours long. My kind of stuff.

 

[Smacktard]

Let’s just go all rpgs

This is PS1 after all, what else is there?

Confession: I have never played dragon quest 7, but I felt like I needed an RPG and y'all already picked all the PlayStation ones I had played. I figured with as prolific as that series has been, surely at least one has been on the first PlayStation? So I googled it and picked that one. I don't really like the series though, it's too grindy.

This is PS1 after all, what else is there?

Platformers! That and racing games is all I played.

Tomb Raider III
