Discussion Are the Arc the Lad games worth going back to these days? I'm considering getting them on the PS3 before the online store is shut down
(On mobile, apologies for bad formatting) So as the title says I am getting a few games before the PS3/Vita PSN stores close. One of the maybes is the arc the Lad Strategy RPG series. The thing is despite playing a wide array of strategy RPGs over the years I don't hear these games talked about too much and watching gameplay footage isn't winning me over. The animations a good chunk look dull and flat, the menu UI for 1/2 look cumbersome, the art design isn't exactly jelling with me. Buttttttttt looks can be deceiving, despite being years older and on inferior hardware Shining force 1/2 are beloved by me, so I shouldn't judge a book by its cover and I know the series is a cult classic to some and there has to be a reason for that. If anyone who has played the games can weigh in I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance .
