OXCGN’s Dyad PSN Review: You are freaking out, man

OXCGN:

"A few years ago I heard a radio broadcast of Joe Rogan describing what it was like to take Dimethyltryptamine, a potent psychedelic...

Suddenly, I had a very apt description of the face-melting gameplay that I’ve been grappling with for the past week.

Let me be clear: Dyad is not a passive experience. You can’t just put your brain in the passenger seat and watch the LSD-inspired visuals fly by."

gaminoz4371d ago

Crazy sounding game! I think I'd get a headache!

BadCircuit4371d ago

So is that what LSD is like

DeusExer4371d ago

Reminds me a lot of Child of Eden, one trippy but amazing game.

Eske4371d ago

It's a trippy game, but it's also brutally hard. Some of the trophy levels still seem impossibly hard to me.

Hot damn so many good deals.

Legend Of Dragoon for 99 cents dont mind If I do

guitarded773668d ago

Yeah, 99 cents is nice, but I already own everything I want on that list. But at least they're having these flash sales more often now.

Giul_Xainx3668d ago

!!!

WTH!

I just bought twisted metal like... AGH. But .99 cents? I'm going to buy them all. Screw it. I am in the mood for it.

TFJWM3668d ago

hmm I might have to pick up the 2 wild arms for vita even thou i still got the 2 ps discs

BLuTheSecond3667d ago

I would cream not just my pants, but the entire island of Manhattan if they were to have a 99c flash sale with both Vanguard Bandits and Final Fantasy 9 included in the list.

But oh well, Legend of Dragoon for me it is.

MightyNoX3668d ago

You, sir, have a great taste

Testfire3668d ago

I hear so much about LOD I'll have to try it out. Does it pass the test of time?

ABizzel13668d ago

It does for the most part. Make sure you get some Satchel for the Rainbow Bird.

ShadowWolf7123667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

The only things that really need an update are the overly-literal translation and some voice acting in the cutscenes. But this was back when video game voice acting didn't really have any kind of 100% Gold Standard so it's somewhat excusable in that context.

Story and gameplay are great though. And challenging. One of the most underrated JRPGs out there. I'd buy it again if I didn't already own it both physically and on PSN. lol

DID get Wild Arms 1 and 2, Dino Crisis 2, Tekken 2 and the Syphon Filter trilogy though, so I'm set.

3-4-53668d ago

Time to stock up my Vita with some old games.

sanosukegtr1233668d ago

its a descent sale. nothing to complain

Syntax-Error3668d ago

They need to bring back Syphon Filter

ShadowWolf7123667d ago

Indeed. A modern remake/reboot could be amazing.

TXIDarkAvenger3668d ago

Some nice games here, I want to try out Dino Crisis

Snookies123668d ago

Great game, but the controls are terrible lol.

talocaca3668d ago

Just bought Dino Crisis 1-2...for 2bucks.

I agree...the tank controls are pretty painful now...and so are the graphics.

But at least its dinosaurs :/

sanosukegtr1233668d ago

once you get use to the controls its would be fine

Syntax-Error3668d ago

There's some real a**holes on here. Snookies says "GREAT GAME, BUT THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE" and gets 6 disagees w/ no agrees and Talocaca says "I AGREE...THE TANK CONTROLS ARE PRETTY PAINFUL NOW AND SO ARE THE GRAPHICS" and gets 2 agrees and no disagrees. Wow! This says a lot about the people that visit this site

Man_Marmalade3667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

@syntax error - agrees and disagrees don't pop your bubbles.

ado9083668d ago

They are only old ps1 and ps2 games tho :/

ado9083668d ago

Oh come on I know its 99 cents I have them all already tho and those psn titles arent even worth the purchase as they are terrible games. Odd world is the only one I would buy. Disagrees are always with you people like people care about your sensitivity

Muzikguy3668d ago

You're freakin crazy! Yes the Oddworld game is cool. So is Syphon Filter, Legend of Dragoon, and Wild Arms. I think I need to spend some $, even if I already own these. I wish they'd make them PS4 too though

Revengeance3668d ago

If they're terrible games why did you even bother purchasing them? Now you make yourself look foolish.

ado9083668d ago

@revengence, muzikguy wow don't know how to read much? I didn't say the psone games suck dude wtf u sensitivite fanboys are crazy. They are amazing games which I said I have the psone games. I don't have nor bought the psn games like malicious that came out specifically for ps3. Played the demo hated it, saw reviews and knew why I hated it. Case closed.

ShadowWolf7123667d ago

...did you just imply Dragoon is a terrible game?

MysticStrummer3667d ago

Before complaining about disagrees and calling people sensitive fanboys, you should realize that what you said above was incorrect. They aren't all old PS1 and PS2 games.

Up Up Down Down: Dyad

I know I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't completely won over by Dyad from Right Square Bracket Left Square Bracket. Don't get me wrong — I totally appreciate that the developer took a risk and attempted to make something vastly different from a lot of what's out there. That said, it was hard for me to fully enjoy what Dyad had to offer because I simply didn't think it was deep or rewarding enough.
