I think this game is awesome. Played it on Switch already and wanted to experience the game with higher framerate and better graphics. People say this port is bad but it works fine I gues. If u have more than one HID-Device connected the game maybe won't register imputs from your conroller. HIDHide is the software that resolves this problem.
Not much to say. It's just a great game as most titles in this long running series are. This version is the third I bought after the PSVita and Playstation 4 iterations and it's still a blast to play.
If you're looking at this you probably know Ys, and this is just the expected progressing of the modern Ys titles, a good story and an improved battle system that's definitely worth picking up and playing through..
It's sad to see the horrible score for this game as it's a really great title that was released seven months late in an absolutely atrocious state. If it weren't for me being a massive Falcom fan I would've refunded this when it was delayed, or when it released as a broken crashy mess, but I stuck it out for as long as I could hoping that they'd fix it.
I'm happy to say that they have, barring a few bugs they're still actually working on, and as of the GOG-3 release everything from the constant crashing to the flickering in certain areas bad enough to make your eyes bleed and make you worry about it trigger a seizure is no longer an issue.
That being said, after waiting more than half a year only to receive a game that I couldn't play for over a week until it had been patched multiple times, I just can't give the PC release five stars even though the console version gets it without question or hesitation. This was an Arkham Knight bad launch, though we didn't get a price reduction to make up for it, or even beta access for pre-orders. If they had given us (my $60 was laid down in September of 2017 but I couldn't play until May of 2018) a partial refund, dropped the price by a third to match Vita pricing rather than PS4 pricing, then I would be more forgiving of the long wait and completely broken state of the game at launch.
Also, for those of you who care about this kind of thing: There are no achievements via Galaxy like there are for PSN and Steam, and despite the fact that I'm pretty dismissive of those things in general I do hate to see a lack of feature parity (even for ones I never use) on GOG releases.
