How has nobody mentioned Sonic Colors yet?

Since I prefer controller over mouse and keyboard, it’s a lot of games pre-Xbox One era for me. But that is subjective because a lot of people prefer mouse and keyboard.

Games like Oblivion never had a proper way of getting a controller to work with them on the PC release and any tries to get it to work flat out suck. I’ve tried Steam’s button mapping and even that doesn’t work for a lot of these games. But working through an emulator helps translate my controller to the game with almost no issues.

Considering how the Steam Deck plays and you’re usually using it as a controller unless docked, this would be nearly any game from this time period.

Sometimes the controls are just better on the Emulators at least on older PC ports as they would do dumb stuff like require a mouse / keyboard for menus etc.

On the steam deck in particular when getting steam versions of games with lower steam deck compatibility ratings it often comes down to odd menu issues or controller support.

The console and PC versions of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter are entirely different games, and personally I think the console version is more fun. It emulatable.

Final Fantasy VII. The PC port is kinda bad and PSX emulators are very very good.

I’ll add FFVIII since the controls are better on PSX. If I remember correctly they lost the source code. In PC you can only move the character in 4 directions or maybe 8, but on psx they can move in full 360 degrees.

VIII’s especially egregious. They should remake it instead of IX purely because it’s the PSX version or a bad port.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

This is what I came here to respond. If I recall, there are some good hi-res mods for the PSX emulated versions.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I love the PC version, but the PS2 version–despite looking a lot worse–feels more like a finished game. There are things like elevators that don’t exist in the PC version, cutscenes don’t cut off dialog before it’s finished, and the UI is overall more polished.

Holy shit, I have not heard that name in many years. Definitely a +1 for reminding me of all the fun I used to have in this title

chunkystyles ,

Oh man, I loved this game. I didn’t know this about the PS2 version.

Both Tales of Symphonia and Chrono Cross got abysmal PC ports.

Playing the originals in an emulator is definitely a much better experience

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I fell for that Symphonia port. Big sadge.

It’s apparently gotten better with updates, but I’ve not tried it in awhile and I’d rather just emulate it.

cyberpunk007 ,

Chrono cross had a PC port?!

krdo ,

Looks like there is a recent port on steam.

mesamunefire ,

I really liked the port, but after they fixed all the bugs. When it first came out it would crash on any steamdeck /Linux systems.

The music is fantastic.

i vaguely recall the retail box version of silent hill 2 or 3 for PC being not all that amazing, and later emulating the Ps2 version was a better option, not to mention the easiest option since both games for PC are not common finds. then again the PC I played Silent hill 2 on wasn’t all that beefy at the time.

maybe any games that originally were for console ported to PC with Denuvo hit this criteria. interesting question!

wizardbeard ,

Silent Hill 2 is a special case. They lost the source code and original asset library for the game, so it’s a remake using assets ripped from the PS2 release copy.

A very, very poorly done and buggy remake that was also underfunded and rushed out the door.

comfyquaker ,

Thanks for jogging my memory! I completely forgot about that core fact 😓.

Peffse ,

Last I heard, Capcom was retroactively adding DRM to their games which could severely impact compatibility. I don’t get why Mega Man 2 would need to be protected with spyware, but that’s a big corp for you. So yeah, I’d say Capcom games might qualify.

Someone joined a street fighter tournament with a nude Chun Li mod and that made capcom go into full lockdown mode

JudahBenHur ,

the only question I have is regarding how she chooses to groom her pubic hair. I believe I have been pondering this question since I was about 11 years old, and now, so close to the answer, Capcom is trying to harm me

ivanafterall ,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

In two little buns, I’d presume.

the_crotch ,

She wears a bra on her head she she’s probably got a shoe on her pubic hair

JudahBenHur ,

thank you

In the capcom data leak which was way before that, the company was looking to lock down their games to prevent modding because that apparently ruins their image and is considered ‘cheating’. The nude mod at the tournament definitely accelerated their actions, but they always had that plan in mind.

Peffse ,

and now look. They’ve got unrelated people online recommending a person doesn’t buy from them because it’ll be a poor experience. Is being detached from reality a requirement for upper management?
