I just got a new battery for my Saturn and after 3 years of PDS celibacy I’m back to biz!I can’t even begin to explain you guys how awesome a sensation it is.After all this time I think I even like the game better.The graphics aren’t really a barrier because the sense of style pwns everything else out there.
I renew my admiration for this piece of art.
Anyways the point of the topic : how long has it been since you last played?
About a month I think…I randomly play it from time to time, mainly just to show friends who haven’t even heard of it how damn cool it is.
They only get a small piece of the picture from a short demonstration though…especially when most of the enemies fall prey to small Berserk techniques let alone the massive excellent looking ones.
I know! That has to be the most annoying and monotonous location in the whole game.
Although, the Energ and especially Basilus battles really get you back into the swing of the game, but that’s only right, as by the time I’m nearly finished the Ruins, I’ve practically fallen asleep!
I played it through for the umteenth time a couple of months ago, and I intend to do so again, when I can be bothered to get a new battery for my Saturn.
I’d say out of all the Panzer’s, the one I have played through the most would be Zwei. Since it only takes about an hour to complete, and doesn’t need the battery to save, I quite often play it through when I have some time to kill.
haha believe it or not, but the second (or maybe even first!) time i played through the game, when i got to that piont I left it… and returned after about a year…
The last time I played through the game was sometime last summer (I think), when I did that 4 hours 44 minutes speed-run. I switch the game on relatively often at the moment though, mainly to grab screenshots for stuff I’m doing for panzerdragoon.net.
Whoa! And I thought I’d played through it a lot… I think I’m currently on ten times through. After the first time I played through the game (when it first came out in the UK), I went through it about another four times really thoroughly, attempting to “find everything”, over the course of about four years. I eventually skipped through it three more times while I was writing my overly long FAQ for GameFAQs in 2003, then I did the whole thing once on GiriGiri to create those save-game files for TWotA, and last of all I did that random speed-run. But yes, thirty times through still pretty much owns me.
The next time I play through PDS will probably be on the Japanese version of the game, which I picked up a while back; I’m interested to see if there are any gameplay differences of any kind between the different versions…
