I always think of a WW2 game when i hear panzer dragoon. Like tanks or something, but thats just me..im a history buff
which is the best one in the series? Is panzer dragoon saga worth its hefty price tag?
I feel like Saga is a slightly clunky RPG but is amazing if you're into the atmosphere and music. I personally enjoyed the story, and I felt the gameplay was great. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I feel like anyone of us could play it again today and not really be too turned off by how old it is.
People like Orta (OG Xbox) or Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Saturn) the most as far as the rail-shooters go. I will say they're the most polished. I think I enjoyed Orta a bit more than Zwei but that might be because I never had the chance to play Zwei when it was new, I only had PD 1 and Saga back in the day. I think Panzer Dragoon 1 is my favorite just because of nostalgia, but for someone coming in for a fun rail you should go for Zwei or Orta, whichever would be easier to play.
And Saga is commonly on "Top 10 RPG" lists near the top and for good reason! I honestly don't think it's worth $400+ if you're not already a serious fan, and even then it's not really worth that IMO but I'm not much of a collector.
