Sort of stopped playing DS titles after that amazing year of 3DS releases in 2013, so I decided to go back to playing them last week since I don't really have anything else to play, lol.
And man....it's been difficult.
Like I get this is handheld hardware from over a decade and a half ago, but wow, these games run SO slowly. Tried playing Luminous Arc 2 and while the presentation held up, the battles almost made me fall asleep. Almost everyone took forever to move and perform their actions. And this isn't a short game either, most of my friends have said it took them over 30 hours to complete it.
After playing for two hours, I just couldn't continue and moved onto some other RPGs, but the feeling was still there: these games just felt like they took forever to actually do anything.
Anyone else feel similarly about going back to RPGs on the DS? Or older consoles altogether honestly.
