Reply to TIL: When Phantasy Star IV released for the Sega Genesis in N. America in Feb. 1995, the retail price was $99. by Hotspur000

Without online/digital stores, local stores were free to price gouge. Especially on hyped new releases.

I paid 85$ for final fantasy 6(us 3) for snes when it was new. And thats only because i convinced my mom to drive to a big mall 30 minutes away. All the local stores wanted $100. Thats $170/200 respectively in 2023 money.

It is sub par in literally all categories.

It doesnt play as good as other mmos

It doesnt look as good as other mmos

It doesnt have as good a soundtrack as other mmos

And for an elder scrolls game yoir better off playing skyrim or oblivion

It was a good game but it was a bad dead space

You could have slapped any other name and story on the gameplay and it would have been a great new ip. As a dead space it was missing some of the horror and tension, especially with how good weapon customization is. One of the original's mastetstrokes was that you didnt have real weapons apart from the pulse rifle. But with 3 i was running around with an effing combo javelin launcher / gatling gun with a stasis effect, and since it fired javs and rivets an enemy that was actually dead got launched and pinned to walls. Took the fear of "is it still alive?" out of the equasion. And the stasis thing- It was a powerful but limited tool in the early games but here i am spamming it in everything that lurches my way.

I still had fun though and am glad i played it.
