    For the most part I don't believe that there's such a thing as a wrong opinion, but this is the only game that I always assume someone has to be lying about ever playing when they put it in a top horror/game list, as much as I see it pop up in them. I like some games that are widely considered to be shitty, but I can't see how anyone could squeeze a drop of enjoyment out of the gameplay of Rule of Rose. The high point of the entire game is walking around the first part of the blimp at the start of the game, before the game gives you any real objective. At this point most people are still absorbing the atmosphere of the game and probably thinking 'Huh, okay, I can see this being a good horror setting'. From that moment on the experience is a drop straight off of shit mountain.

      i remember this getting really shitty review scores and opinions about it years before it became THE "hidden gem". I wonder what spurred the new interest in it, was it people seeing its low print run, it being published by Atlus or just all the survival horror zoomer boom that happened where they wanted every title on the PS2?(even that fricking X-Files PS2 game shoot up in price cause of it)

      How does this actually stack up compared to Kuon and Haunting Ground?

      Also pretty sure the ip owners wanted to do a modern port of this so im sure they will make their money and people will actually get to see its not all that great.

        Haven't played Kuon, but Haunting Ground is a great game. People mention them together a lot because of the similar costs, definitely not the gameplay.

        Kuon is pretty good. It takes a bit to get going, but it's very good.

        game is dreadfully boring and tedious fetch quests with very little that actually makes you want to keep playing it

        usually when video games get this expensive it's not because actual collectors are willing to pay this much for them, but because some sellers artifically boosted their prices by asking their friend/mom/whatever to buy it and give it back, giving the impression online that these games actually get sold for these prices
        - and it works, now most people unironically believe that these games worth >$1000

          brb, just going to artificially jack up the price of Spawn: Armageddon for PS2 (used) to $2000 a piece, so I can finally pawn it off for more than $5, and start saving up for a new PC (which can play every PS2 game on emulators at enhanced resolution and framerate).

      I think a lot of people just enjoy the story and are impressed that the developers could step out of their comfort zone and make a game like it

      Kinda fascinating, I bought this and a few SMT games factory new for 20 each from some UK online shop. Must be leftover stock, but produced way after their original run since the PEGI labels are from 2009 or so.

      How come it's so expensive in NA?

        I'm guessing a small group of people have a monopoly on most of the copies over here and have artificially inflated the price.

          That just means that the PAL version is 25fps instead of 30fps, so even worse.

    Michigan was the better niche spooky game. Only the Japanese version with the cut content, though, the western release was awful.

        That one at least got a PSN release on PS3, so if you’re the moral type the most you’ll have to pay is $10. It’s something at least.

      Technology couldn't stop people from bootlegging obscure horror movies, no way it could stop people from ripping games.

      The combat is genuinely complete fricking shit and results in some of the most frustrating boss fights in the genre. It's a perfect example of something you only suffer through if you like the non-gameplay elements (in other words, not a good game).
