Topic: Panzer Dragoon

A glorious, beautiful, stunning HD remake. Don't miss out on this one!

I've always heard good things about the original. I might get it soon unless there's a physical version coming out later (I assume the physical version if it exists, isn't already out considering it's just out now)

Really well made remake. We really love music and graphics. Kudos to Forever Entertainment and Sega!

Just waiting for a physical copy from LRG.

I really want the physical version but it's so annoying that it won't be available for months. I'm pleased that it has turned out well, some of the guys on Sega-16 were predicting that it would be a disaster.

Getting mixed messages on this game so far in this thread. Consensus please 😋

@Pigeon I find your descriptions of it a little hyperbolic, but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and that video. It doesn't seem to justify a purchase in its current state and price point.

How hard is Panzer Dragoon? 🤔
I've heard it can be hard, but I don't know how hard it is.
(Is it more like Dark Souls hard, Mario Sunshine hard, etc?)
Also, are LRG versions always more expensive? It's $40 for the physical version, and $25 for the digital. (That's a ridiculous jump).
So, should I wait for the physical version, or should I get the digital version, if I were to get it? 🤔

@ACNHislit There's some challenge, but it's not extremely difficult. Definitely not Dark Souls hard. I was able to beat it and I'm hardly some gaming master, just average. Of course it depends on what difficulty setting you're playing on.

I don't know much about LRG releases, I've never bought one. Unless you're hardcore into owning all your games physical, I would just get the digital version. $40 is too damn much considering Panzer Dragoon is a pretty short game.

@vio
Okay, thanks for the info.
If you don't mind me asking, what difficulty did you beat it on?
Haha, true. Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing, regarding the price.
Do you feel it's worth it at $25 then, or should I wait for a sale?

@ACNHislit I beat it on the normal/medium setting. I have not yet beat it on hard. Considering I'm the OP of this thread who said don't miss out on this one, I would say it is worth it. But of course it depends if you're into old school on-rail shooters like I am.

@vio
Okay, just curious. 👍
Well, Good Luck with beating it on Hard.
I know that you recommended it. I've just heard that are some "issues", and that it feels slightly rushed.
I've played (and own), almost every Star Fox game (Assault being the exception), if that answers your question. 😃😆

Speaking of Star Fox:
Happy 4th anniversary to Star Fox Zero (and Guard).
I just re-played Corneria using the Retro Arwing. I've done this every year, since SFZ came out (except the first year because I bought it 2 days after launch)

Did you guys see this? 🤔

Panzer Dragoon is currently on sale for its lowest ever price of $6.24 in the US store. I've held off from snapping this up due to mixed reviews, but surely at this price it's worth a purchase?

@Slowdive Good one, I decided to grab it once I read there was a free update with gyro controls added!

I figured for less than $10, you can’t go wrong. I had my eye on it too. Glad I held off.

Has anyone played this recently (since the major update came out)? Since it's back at $6.24, I'm wondering if it's worth picking up.

@ianl579

Although I've only played the first episode (stage) I think it's a fine port of what was originally just an average rail shooter to begin with. I think the game looks and sounds nice. But I understand how some people think this game is too easy and boring. The gameplay is quite shallow and not at all thrilling.

A tough sell to anyone but former Saturn owners looking to wax nostalgic.

@ianl579 I just picked it up for that price and think it is worth it. I never played the origin so I cannot compare it to that. The game is far from perfect but seems like a good distraction to play when want a break from whatever game I am playing at the time.
