Worst PS game?

[gm2987]

I've played and beat all of them and I have to say I really don't like PS3, not because it has basicly nothing to do with the rest of the PS games, its because the game was boring, the generation system was dull, and that the battles were... Crap at best.

[Zylo]

I would say PSonline since I can't play it online.

[Monocromatico]

I couldn´t say PSg nor PSA... it would be just unfair to compare GG games with Genesis ones. So, even thought I like PS4 more than 99% of the games I´ve played, it stays on the botton of my list.

Oh, I enjoyed all the Phantasy Star games alot. I can't really place one ahead of the other because they're all so good in different ways.<p>I couldn't disagree with you more gm2987. Phantasy Star 3 is more of a side story. It explains what happened to the Parmanians after they escaped Parma. It was Sega's attempt at giving the player more of a backround for the Phantasy Star universe and also a bit of a build up for PS4. (is attempt the wrong word? I'm not to saying they tried and failed, because PS3 was good) It was also Sega's effort in approaching their game in a new way, to keep things fresh(like the generations thing) <p>I don't see how the generations thing was dull. Specify.<p>And the battles, well, there were a few problems, like the technique system was not very helpful, even after you balanced all your power into one technique and the battles had few animations, but it was not crap. The monsters looked great! The sheer quantity of monsters was a plus. It was cool how all the different types of weapons would behave differently. (I know the other PS's had this feature, but PS3 took it to a new level) Oh, and I loved it how the musical themes changed depending on how the battle was going.

Though I wouldn't necessarily consider PS III the 'worst' of the four, I can honestly say without a doubt that I enjoyed it the least; it simply didn't give me what the others did.

Hello, Pent of Etruria!<p>Sorry...off topic, I know.

[Mizehrith]

Heh heh heh. ^_^<p>Check your PM inbox, Siren.

The worst Ps game? I would have to say.. <p>Phantasy Star Adventure!<p>A board game? <p>Didn't enjoy it too much.

One of the beefs I had with PSIII (aside from some over-use of "Phantasy Star-isms"-- Nei items, why?) is to do with the generations. There was no real carry-over from one to the next other than the androids. That makes the game VERY boring because there's no motivation to search for cool items or power up you team. You're going to lose it all, anyway. <br> Now if your stats carried over (or at least some sort of bonus system) THEN it would've been more fun. As it was, the first and second generations were just very long prologues.<p> I'm not saying the game sucks. But it is my least favourite of the series (least amount of joy in replaying it). As you said, gm2978, "dull".

[Goldark]

Even if I always had enjoyed the PS saga in every incarnation, I can say that III is the less memorable, but still is a great game compared to other titles I played. As I have already said elsewere, it had the potential to be a greter game, shame on the team who hadn't developed this potential.

[DaveGeorge]

I really love PSIII, as well as the others. PSO wasn't really my cup of tea, but since it's a totally different game than the rest of the pack, it's not fair to compare them. If I were to choose one PS game that I could live without, I'm afraid I must say PSI, simply because I haven't played it half as much as the other three....sad but true !@#$

[Benoit]

<blockquote>it had the potential to be a greter game, shame on the team who hadn't developed this potential.</blockquote> <br>As I said before in the official PSIII discussion thread, the development team isn't at fault; Sega is, who gave them way too little time and cartridge space to work with.

10 years later....

LOL it really is. Since we are recycling old topics I will weigh in on this one.

Phantasy Star Universe was the wrong direction to go in. Plain and simple. Phantasy Star should be where Final Fantasy is now. FF's arn't even all that good and usually have terrible story's. Universe is a terrible game that is trying to be a RPG, with very little content and almost zero places to visit. At the same time it is trying to be an action game with only 2 moves. It fails miserably on both fronts. And answers why SEGA have fallen so far.

But speaking of original 4. They were all good. Had great ideas so I cant say one was bad. But there were things I liked less about them.

So...

Worst battles = Phantasy Star 3. Pure repetative crap.

Worst grinding= Phantasy Star 2. Its easy to end up on teh Noah with lvl 26, and have to spend days trying to get to lvl 35 so you have a shot at Dark Force. Any further would drive me nuts.

Worst challenge = Phantasy Star 4. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to easy. Leave over leveled and grossly overpowered characters to Final Fantasy pls.

[Nommy]

I'd have to say that text adventure title for the GG. Phantasy Star Adventure? The one that doesn't have PS1 Alys in it.

Reading what DarkMyau said, it's easy to see why Sega just stopped making "real" PS games. The PS games were very flawed. I didn't play PS1 all the way but generally only good things are said about it. We all know how PS2 is/was, but still that game felt like a real RPG. You had to really put in the time. PS3 was well, if taken out of context not a PS game, but I think it fit very well into the PS over-arching story. If they only used battle sprites the game would be more accepted, however the scenario could have used a bit more work.

PS4, now, was the best PS game for a lot of reasons. And also flawed unfortunately. The game was just too easy. You could tell they wanted to fix all their past mistakes: graphics, combat, scenario, they made an amazing game, but....they needed more people to play so they made it easier

I wish they would have added more jobs in that game, and maybe a challenge mode/new game +, luckily no ultimate "weapons" like Final Fantasy. Damn just talking about PS games makes me sad now
