Otherwise you can emulate it. Doing a wee bit of searching should net you the translation patch too which- if I recall correctly- was a simple program you ran and targeted to the ISO. Was an interesting experience for someone like me who never even knew the game existed until a couple of years ago.

Blame Re4 (a game over a decade old) for that. Unpopular opinion- nothing is really that amazing about RE4. 5 is mechanically better and Jill (in 3) is a cooler protag. 4 feels like half a resident evil and half a metal gear solid and if you're not autistic or don't like Tetris then the inventory-case mechanic is a chore and after 50 different HD tweaks of the game they couldn't add in a way to stomp on downed zombies- which was present in the earlier Resident Evils and returned in 5.

The best part of RE5 is letting your friend who reads much slower than you start reading some lore you found on a desk or whatever, and then once they get to page 10/20 you throw a grenade near them to knock them down and out of the text so they have to open it up again and d-pad manually over to the page they were on.

Deus Ex might not hold up mechanically but I still haven't seen many games pull off the choice mechanic as organically (heh) as it did. Maybe it's bad game design to not tell the player about all of their options, but it certainly led to interesting discoveries of what was possible in the story.

When you're blasting your way through some mission and you look over and there's the network of man-sized vents you'd be using if you were going for a no-kill, it's a little cheap-seeming.

FFXI is actually a fantastic and fun almost-single player FF game... now. Was loving painful and ridiculously tedious to get anything done before. Since the team got cut it's had a nice steady stream of monthly content and summonable buddies make 99% of the content doable with 1-3 people.

I don’t know if this is actually unpopular, but it’s very prolific. The thing games do where your stealthing a base and guys run off to blow a horn/ring and get more enemies needs to be loving eradicated. I can’t think of something I hate more in games and it’s like every open world game.

Like I think in AC Origins you can rig their "call for help" beacons to explode when they try to light them and it's pretty funny.

Black Flag and its direct to video sequel Rogue had a thing where you could sabotage the bells that guards would use to summon other guards on plantations. It worked well.
