16 bucks huh.. why?

[Shes Kweh Kweh]

Ok so I have this for my DS, Nintendo(JP), Vita and my Windows Phone... Why should I pay 16 bucks to get it for my PC, it doesn't look like much was changed. 16 bucks is kinda high for a game that was originally an 8 bit game with really not much added.

Hopefully it will go on sale in a month like VII & VIII did lol
Otherwise I do not think 16 bucks is worth it.

Can't we just all play games in peace. This is slowly turning into a PC vs Console war. I mean good for you, playing hundred of console games. Wish I had that much free time. Bugs are on both platforms. Playing games on Both platforms I see that.

Sometimes you don't have to look for bugs. Especially in Bethesda games. Bugs are present in console and PC versions. Is it really that big a deal that the PC version of FF3 has more bugs than the DS? If the game is playable I don't see that much a big deal.

[Seraphita]

It was not my intention to turn anything into a PC vs Console war. All I was saying is that from all the games that I've played, I never truly found a game breaking bug unless I really looked for it. It happened maybe only once that I did something stupid in a game and I was forced to reset because my game was stuck in a limbo of dead switches and wouldn't go anywhere anymore.

I understand that there are hidden bugs in every games but overall, they never bothered my progress. About FF3, I only replied to the above poster that the NDS version didn't have bugs that get you stuck like the PC version has. Ship glitch and such... Nothing else to it, really.

Edit: Actually, I'll openly correct myself right here. A boat glitch 'can' happen on the DS but it is very unlikely.

And there we go again. It never happened to you, ergo, it must never happen, right?

Its easier to code for consoles over PCs because PCs have a variety of hardware where a console is always going to be the same. Something can run right on 99% of PCs and a new or old GPU/ CPU might not run the code right and break the game.
Its no secret, consoles are more stable just for that reason. Just look at most of EA's stuff, fine on Xbox and Playstation, hoplessly broken on PC.
I think Skyrim is a rare execption because the game isn't fixed with patches, its fixed with mods, so in the end someone with a little persistance can get the game to run near flawless with some time at Nexus and a couple of gigs of downloads. If I'm not mistaken, Gamebryo was designed with multiple x86 cores in mind, so a single CPU designed more like a GPU (single core, multiple floating point calculators strapped on) doesn't run quite right on it so its really not that stable on the PS3, but since the Xbox 360 is a multicored Power PC it can run correctly.
Sorry, inner nerd took over.
But seriously, 99 out of 100 times the console version will run better. Even if that may be true, I'm still a PC gamer first.

Don't be an idiot. It's clearly not what I said so screw you and stop being a troublemaker...

Yeah, pretty much what I meant. It's very rare to break a game on consoles... Bugs if any are barely noticeable most of the times unless you look well. Skyrim indeed being the exception to the rule, I guess. Other than that, most games will play really well and without any issues. Gamebreaking bugs and glitches are 'very' rare on console games. The only way I usually find them is when someone else somehow got it and posted something about it on a game forum.

And my point remains that I only said that the DS version is more stable than the PC version but some people felt like making a big deal out of it. Sigh...

And there we go again, resorting to petty insults instead of trying to counter my point.

And by the by? That's what you said, that's what you always say. You consistently use confirmation bias, as if your own experiences disprove whatever point you just happen to not like.

[Seraphita]

You have no points... It's just you trying to cause troubles as usual. You don't read ♥♥♥♥ of what I say so you have no idea of what I talk about. It's pretty much what I see of your posts... Learn to read and stop being a moron for once. Better yet, stop looking for troubles where there aren't any. I'm sure you have better things to do than trolling...

And there you go again, accusing me of just being a "troublemaker" just to dismiss anything I have to say, while dodging everything I've said.

You are hilariously predictable.

Not taking any sides here or anything but yeah in regards to Sera saying that "I never truly found a game breaking bug unless I really looked for it." doesn't mean the bugs don't exist, but she did touch on that because she mentioned a rare boat bug. I already beat FF3 on the PC since I purchased it and didn't encounter any bugs, but I do not doubt they do exist because even though this game does not require the best and greatest hardware it probably will have issues on many people's PCs. This can be due to as someone else had mentioned so many different hardware and software configurations but I actually think it has to do with people not taking care of their computer, letting malware get installed, not downloading and installing updates, etc. So, and this is soley my opinion, but I don't see those bugs occuring in situations like that as a problem with the game, or the version of the game, but a problem with the users computer.

You're a troublemaker, though. You're an arrogant bastard and you can't avoid to annoy others when you post. You're a pain in the ass... This is pretty much what you are.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never found any myself but I do know they exist. They are just rare... On the PC, you have similar bugs but they seem to happen more often for some people. Such examples like the boat getting stuck or the airship mysteriously doing something it isn't supposed to. Some people will see them all the time, some other people will never notice them.

On consoles, such bugs are not as common. Kinda obvious since there are not 100 kinds of one console. The only thing that changes for later ones are firmware updates if anything.

When I played this on the DS, I got about 150 hours out of the playthrough. Considering this, whining that it is $16 instead of $10 is a little off. Besides, you can just wait a few weeks for a sale.

The Android and iOS versions cost a few bucks more, by the way.

The whole "I got a bajillion hours out of it" is irrelevant. That isn't how the market works. The game is an 8 year old DS game that is a remake of an even older game. That's it. That's all that's relevant. It's old as hell and hasn't had its assets updated or anything. Maybe you're okay with that, and that's fine, but I'm not. Of course, no one's forcing me to buy it, which is why I'm not buying it. But I am letting SE know why I'm not buying it.

It isn't irrelevant... If you buy it for $16 and get over 160 hours of entertainment out of it, you got a good amount of entertainment value from that for only $1 an hour. It's a lot better than buying a BRAND SPANKING NEW SPARKLING OMG SO NEW video game and getting bored of it after a couple of hours. In that scenario you just paid $30 an hour to get bored.

[Tobalaz]

Sad thing is, I bought this on my Android about 3 months back and have yet to play it. I'm not getting enough free time.

[Tre_Selor]

Spent $40 on a brand new copy of this for NDS. Also have it for PC. Do not regret the purchase.

[Jin Kotte]

It's on sale half off on Humble Bundle.

Your math skills are piss poor. A dollar an hour would only be 16 hours...yes?..
