I love to revisit some old games; for 10 minutes.

Then realise it’s ass as fuck.

But I love them still; I just could never play them now.

Phantasy Star Online ep - 1&2 for Gamecube

FAVE game of my childhood, spent hundreds if not thousands on it; Even on the Dreamcast version without ep 2 I played tons; just to do it all again on GC.

But now?

A grind and RNG loot fest?

I literally press the same attack buttons in the same way against the same monsters x 50000 ? going through the same maps? that’re not very… unique each time through?

I’m like; wow, I don’t want to do this forever, just to go to a bigger harder mode where all that changes are the number gets bigger for the enemy health and I might get a nice rare drop. ( Yes ultimate changes models/some mechanics but still; its the same maps and spawns )

Looking at it through my eyes now, I actually hate the game now lol.
