I still find more complex and hardcore games on the first PS than any other console. It's sadden me for example that games like Vagrant Story was too much for most gamers to handle so there wouldn't be another one to follow.

 


What makes a game complex and hardcore?


Developers learn real quick if a game is too hardcore and complex to the general public as in my "Vagrant Story" example.


I've never played that game. Mind explaining?


Most gamers never look or read the manual thus most didn't understand that big part of VS combat system was to design and level up a weapon to combat each groups of enemies. (at least have 2-3 weapons for the 6 different groups) Because of this most was trying to use the same weapon to do everything which in turn made the game extremely difficult. (I call it toothpicking an enemy to death because I was only doing one point of damage with each swing) For example I had a sword to attack humans and a spear to attack huge dragons. Also VS had a timing combat system where if you had your timing was right you can get 10-20+ attack chain, this was very important since boss often did huge amounts of damage. Thus the combat was a lot more complex than the simple "dumb down" FF combat.Once you learn the more complex battle system the game was easier and a lot rewarding.
