Wish it ran decently on my machine.
P2 was a life changing experience.
I own P1 & P2. They're in my list of games I really need to get around to playing. I've had em for years... ๐คฆ
As far as writing is concerned, they're both amazing. I do think P1's mechanics are a little too janky, though some argue that just adds to the uneasiness and oddity of it. Personally I think it makes it a little inaccessible for most.
Fair enough! Should I try and muscle on through the jank in P1, or skip it and go straight to P2?
It's worth at least giving it a try. My opinion is far from consensus. P2 is for the most part just a retelling of the Haruspex route with (VERY welcome) improvements, so you really won't be missing out on anything plot-wise.
I've heard people say it's better to start off with Bachelor because it's more grounded but I really don't think it's necessary. You're just gonna learn about some of the more exotic aspects of the universe before the more mundane ones.
Ok. Very little of that actually made sense to me.
I'll give P1 a go first then? ๐คท Not a stranger to jank mechanics and weirdness. Grew up playing DOS RPGs after all.
Definitely give it a shot! If you've been gaming for a long time, you might not mind it.
Dope! Now to find time to actually play games......๐ค
