Cucco 1,907 Posted July 28, 2014 There are a lot of collections that add stuff like WW HD. Then again there are a lot that take away stuff like Silent Hill HD. Sadly I used to torrent back when I was younger because I was upset when the final mixes got released only in Japan. I don't blame you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the PS2 have a region lock? If it didn't I could have played FM years ago . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't play FM until recently on an emulator because I didn't want to pay a ton of money just to play a slightly better version of KH2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atheist123 583 Posted July 28, 2014 I have used emulation for KH2 before. I own a copy of the game legally for my PS2, so I don't see what's wrong with it. Buying the game gives me software rights, so I should be able to play it on whatever system I desire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I already own the game or if it was just never released overseas I will emulate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atheist123 583 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) It is illegal downloading it, but I do the same. If I already own the game or if it was just never released overseas I will emulate it. That is true. I pirate things like tv shows just because we can't legally watch them at time of release (don't have Netflix available in New Zealand, or anything like that). And I listen to albums before buying them, and download games before buying them on PC for full price (just to see if they work properly... it's annoying buying a game which doesn't even work on your system).Also, 1000th post Edited July 28, 2014 by atheist123 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyn 1,755 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah. But at least with KH 2.5, we get the FM versions out of Japan, so we technically get more than just the same game, we get new extra content. So i think it makes up for it being re-sold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew 74 Posted July 28, 2014 MOSTLY, yes. Obviously from a business standpoint. But if you love the game/game series enough it doesn't have to feel like that. Sure except for kingdom hearts it's basically just an HD upgrade but for me it just looks so good in HD! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atheist123 583 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah, if your PC isn't really good, the stock tech specs they give you can be deceiving.... I recently did that with Watch Dogs... it ran alright half the time, but dropped to single digits occasionally. Glad I cancelled my preorder before the game released. Bad optimization happens to many games, and even if you have an amazing computer poor ports can still ruin a game experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really want Dead Rising 3 but I heard it was ported terribly to PC, so I'm kind of iffy about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted July 28, 2014 They might be, but they're very effective if they are. If I like a game, I'll get the HD remaster to see the new changes, and just to have a backup in case something happens to my discs/cartridges (I'm personally against emulation). They're also great ways to introduce old games to new audiences. If it wasn't for the HD collection, I might have never gotten into Ratchet and Clank when I did.

DxBEATLESxD 12 Posted July 28, 2014 It really depends on what it brings some hardcore fans like have it in HD and bring some extra content in the. And even so they usually cost less so its worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AuraAce 1,126 Posted July 28, 2014 I think that they sell these games because Kingdom Hearts III Is coming and they want to give the game to people who maybe didn't play them and to those who have played them to give them a better HD experience and to kind of top up their knowledge on the KH Lore till that point.

Gamerazor247 877 Posted July 28, 2014 Well games like GTAV and TLOU yes... But fans pressured them so they went on and did it. Old games like Sly,Jak,Ratchet and GoW deserve the HD Remake. Introduce younger players to extordinary games we played back then, and enjoy those games for like the 100th time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
