i've heard a nickname for the steam deck which implies that it is a product of low quality

Switchblade Switcharoo

Interestingly that game was made by ex-Bullfrog devs (as would become more obvious later with Startopia) who repurposed an unpublished Bullfrog superhero game named The Indestructibles, which they had tried to pick back up but couldn't because Marvel was in the habit of threatening to sue any game with custom superhero making.

if you don't want to pay scalper prices Switch has a whole mess of games at this point even if you aren't really into the first party Nintendo stuff

or get one of the myriad emulation handhelds like this one: https://retrododo.com/rg351mp/

The biggest gimmick was the backgrounds being animated instead of almost entirely static like Resi, which meant they were basically FMVs on a short loop, hence the ridiculous amount of discs.

Biggest gimmick outside of 'teehee the girls might kiss' in 2 anyway.

A games magazine I bought when I was a kid came with a full walkthrough for fear effect 2 that I read multiple times for some reason and it looked like a very cool puzzle game (??)

if it mentioned lesbians i don't think i understood what that meant

It really made me think FF7-9 were 3-4 times bigger than a normal game. A story so epic it couldn't be contained by a single disc!

Even though the levels were in a linear order they put them on seemingly random discs. Like you'd go from disc 1 to 3, back to 1, then 4, then 2 etc. I don't know if this was to stop you splitting the cost with your friends and passing the discs along as you finished them (which we absolutely did with FF9) or if chopping it up like that was the only way they could fit everything on four discs.

Actually it's not like playing with bad players because if you give them damage tactics they actually DPS better than any player lol

It's pretty good EXP for what it is, especially when you're on a DPS job and queue times are long. As a bonus, you get a suite of workout emotes (/squat, /pushups, /situps, and /breathcontrol) if you do 10 Command Missions (the dungeons) with your squad.
