Re: compilations vs individual releases?
I'm fine with compilations if they make improvements to the original games, like the HD collections. However, I never bother with compilations of cartridge games because modern systems have inferior d-pads.

I prefer individual releases but sometimes that's just not worth it.

O has always been Enter in Japan, it's not Kojima's fault. It's Konami's fault for not localizing it.ninjainspandex wrote:im loving the metal gear solid HD collection finally im not confused by O being the god damn confirm button WHY YOU DO THAT KOJIMA!!!!!!!

I prefer compilations for arcade and Neo Geo games. The rest I want on the original hardware. Not sure what to do about Japanese games never released here.
Didn't all PS/PS2 games originally do that? Pretty sure they were changed for NTSC-U (and maybe PAL?).ninjainspandex wrote:im loving the metal gear solid HD collection finally im not confused by O being the god damn confirm button WHY YOU DO THAT KOJIMA!!!!!!!

Re: compilations vs individual releases?
I'm a sucker for compilations. I freaking love them. Not only do you get a bunch of old favorites, but you usually you also discover a few new ones! What's not to love about that? But my very favorite games I'll still collect in their original format, anyways, just because their favorites.

Re: compilations vs individual releases?
I generally prefer the original cartridges. That's why I have all these retro consoles after-all. There are a few exceptions. For instance, I effing love Sonic Gems collection.
Re: compilations vs individual releases?
I'm a sucker for compilations, but I'll vote for both too. Even when I already owned Megaman X-X6, I still bought the X Collection when it came out. Then there's a bunch of Genesis games I own, but I still bought the Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Gems, and then bought a compilation over a compilation with the Sonic Genesis Ultimate Collection. lol
Re: compilations vs individual releases?
There are some pretty good compilations out there, like the Sega Genesis collection ones. They're awesome. Generally though I never bought them, but I'm really loving these PS3 compilations of PS2 games. I was kind of on the fence because for awhile there were only compilations of series I'm not very fond of, but after the Ico/SOTC, DMC, and MGS compilations, I'm officially for it. The HD upgrades look great and the extra shelf space is nice. Fingers crossed for Armored Core and Yakuza.
Japanese PS3/PSP games still use O as confirm. I'm actually more used to that than the X as confirm these days to be honest. Makes more sense too.o.pwuaioc wrote:Didn't all PS/PS2 games originally do that? Pretty sure they were changed for NTSC-U (and maybe PAL?).
