Worst PS1 RPGs

[Edmond Dantes]

Like defending "Tomatoes are Evil!" by claiming "Tomatoes are REALLY, REALLY, REALLY Evil with Zucchinis!"

Just sayin', I actually totally agree with Press_Start on this issue, but I couldn't let that line pass without mentioning this...

Xenogears has that effect on people.

Its odd, when I first played it I thought it was amazing. But each subsequent attempt to play it that I make, my reaction always starts off with being intrigued/remembering what I liked, but then like fifty hours in, i'm just like... usually I wind up losing interest.

Hmm. Legend of Legaia, out of PS1 RPGs I've played it has to be Legend of Legaia. My relationship with it started on the wrong foot; I found a copy of Star Ocean The Second Story for cheap at the mall, I marshaled my resources and returned to find it gone but this in its place. I tried it out and couldn't get more than an hour or two in before giving up and trading it in. A few years down the road and I got another copy and a guide to give it a fair chance. Three hours of playing later, I had to put it down and toss it in the Failed Campaign stack. The graphics were awful (but par for the console and genre at the time), the music could be compared to cheese-flavored oatmeal; bland, disgusting, and of dubious nutritional value. The story could have been good, but just plain refused to take off and go, while the characters were more like caricatures. The combat was a tragically flawed mess, combining the worst parts of turn-based RPGs and fighting mechanics without little building upon either.

If it had just one or two of these problems, I would have put up with it, but for me this rates as a gaming Dyson (absolutely no loss of suction).
