i love peace walker so much. it's great, especially if you play the whole game in co-op. and if you're really luck, with three other players for the boss fights

Is it weird that I'm considering Call of Juarez: The Cartel? Like, I know it's bad, but it got delisted on PC and I've always been a little curious even though I know it's bad.

Gonna grab Peace Walker HD since I fear it might get delisted in the future. I know it's not as heavily reliant on licensing as MGS2+MGS3 were, but I don't trust Konami to ever do any follow up on any roadblocks Peace Walker HD's distribution faces in the future and figure this is one of my last chances to get it at a good price.

EDIT: I already have it but I figure ZOE HD Collection probably isn't long for this world either.

Just a shame that the Xbox version of ZOE 2 HD never got the patch, the PS3 version with the patch is the way to go IMO (never played ZOE 2 MARS but I assume that version is the best of the three)

Yeah, that and Silent Hill Homecoming, Vandal Hearts and Fighting Vipers all seem to be first timers.

Bayonetta and Vanquish BC versions also haven't had a sale in a long time.

I do have MARS as well but oddly enough I never played it. I bought it on sale physically years ago and it's just been kinda on my shelf. Can't say for sure how it stacks up.

Not really. It's a poor man's imitation of Silent Hill with generic designs and creative decisions that honestly should have been in a different franchise.

Homecoming is just as bad for different and similar reasons. It's basically 2008 Trends: The Game and it misunderstands the series it's in pretty hard. Not to mention the cheesy combat, nonsensical story, and bad controls.

Nice, I got the Silent hill games, MGS PW HD, Rumble Roses XX, Vagrant Hearts, Fighting Vipers, Burnout Revenge and Beyond Good & Evil.

In the past 6 months - been building up a b/c collection for my future Xbox Series (going for S since its easy to find).

Planning to get a Series S once I finish my backlog for either WiiU (2 games left) or PS3 (about 8-10 games left) whichever comes first.

It's .. mediocre, but it's the first time I've seen the game go on sale, so I'm buying it just for collection's sake lol.

Same for Peace Walker HD.

Does the Silent Hill HD collection still suffer from the problems that people were complaining about early on (e.g. HD exposing graphical defects and stuff)? I'd heard they weren't going to ever bother fixing it.

Is Silent Hill HD Collection worth it for this price? These ports are pretty infamous, but I also have never played these games before so I'm not sure how sensitive I'd be to all the Issues.

It is the worst way to play the game.

www.resetera.com

Convince me not to buy this Silent Hill HD Collection for the 360...

I just want to play these damn games. I heard this port is infamously bad, but....is it really? Or is it just annoying things that get in the way a bit? My only experience with the series was watching my older brothers play the first game. Since then, I've seen clips and praise of the second...

For sure grabbing PW as I wouldn't be shocked to see that get delisted in the future. I didn't even realize MGS 1+2 HD had been delisted till today. Luckily I grabbed that on a whim several months back.
