I liked it better than the reboots. I didn't like the class and leveling system and being limited to 6 agents per mission or the dumbed down strategic layer of the new ones at all. Even the vehicle combat felt very satisfying as you built out your fleet and customized their load outs and controlled them in real time where in the new one, you click 1 button and hope the rng goes in your favor. In missions I love the sheer amount of environmental destruction you can do including bringing down entire buildings if you so choose with free aiming and the number of agents you can bring. With almost 50 per mission allowed, it actually felt like you playing a strategy game instead of an rpg.

>>10980953
If you liked playing TIE Fighter and other space simulators that were all the rage at the time, then you might enjoy it. It's decent.

However please check first if the game can run fine on modern systems. A quick check on Steam forums and you see lots of people asking for help

That's one of the best parts of the game. Crazy that it nearly missed implementation.

I am can be sane if I enjoy this game especially Gore and violence, like I previously played in postal (1-2-redux), hatred, mortal Kombat, read Eric Harris diaries and secretly I planning to cosplay smiley in next anime con because secretly I hate genshin impact and other mihoyo stuff like they are Chinese but nevermind I played this game on ps2 emulator (because Russian laws prohibit that game on Russian steam) but yes this game is kinda fun and enjoyable especially gore and violence level?

The original black label NTSC-U PS2 version. NTSC-J and PAL versions are both based on Greatest Hits version. Although some black label discs are actually the same revision as Greatest Hits. You can check what revision your disc is by whether Pac-Man has 3 lives in the beginning (original) or 5 lives (Greatest Hits).

I don't like Castlevania 2, but I think it was a pity that Konami never tried to do it again. It could have saved the game (see hollow knight). It was an ambitious attempt coming from 1, it was the right time to do it (faxanadu, zelda 2) but too early for the franchise.

It's completely right though. The level design in OoE is terrible. Most of the levels are super short with almost no platforming. In fact there isn't any difficult platforming in the entire game until you get to the bonus dungeons. Most the the game is wandering through boring as fuck areas chipping away at damage sponge enemies to get a new glyph in the hopes the next boring enemy you come across at least dies faster. It looks great, but it's an absolutely terrible and mind numbingly boring game to actually play. People bitch about the mansions in SQ being short, easy and dull then they praise OoE as a masterpiece and my only conclusion is I find it hard to believe they have played either game for more than 5 minutes.

>>10981992
HoD kinda sucks, it's ugly, repetitive and sounds like shit, but at least it has a semblance of platforming.
>>
>>10983574
HoD is the opposite of ugly. It is actually the best looking of the GBA trilogy. And it is not repetitive, it only suffers of a severe case of backtracking towards the end of the game.

Is there any way to forget a puzzle video game as if you haven't played it before without giving yourself an amnesia or waiting a really long time? Even then, it's not 100% good way since a lot of small things are just burned into your memory forever. There are lots of other games in the genre to play but if you really liked one of them, can you ever re-play it and have the same experience?
>>
>>10984475
You might forget parts of it after a very long time, but it's the only way. And you'll never completely forget. Which is why you should never play with a guide, you're not just ruining the game for yourself, but for your future self as well.

Why was the consensus always that this was superior to Goldeneye? It runs like shit in almost every level and the huge levels are a chore

Man, that was really cool, this is the first Perfect Dark video with "game secrets" in its title in literally years that showed me something I hadn't seen before.
I knew of some of these because I spent hours using one of those gameshark cheats to walk through walls, but many levels completely break if you get out of bounds and you can't see shit because rooms stop loading. Specifically the Deep Sea level I always wanted to see the different areas like that, I wish that part had been a bit longer. Exploring the cutscenes was really neat too because that's something I hadn't done either, seeing the screen in the ship in Villa is the kind of "secret" I thought I'd know by now yet it was completely new to me.
Man, that was a great video, thanks for sharing it.

this was the consensus among PD players

>>10984298
PD is full of secrets and oddities like that. There's a windmill turret that only activates if you use cheats to fly up to it

https://youtu.be/QX1EGMQSCZ0?si=RhElrtR_7QugRD-N
>>
>>10984342
Actually that was one of the first secrets I discovered with those gameshark codes, if you're flying around it's funny when a windmill starts shooting at you.
I know many of the other secrets even if I didn't discover them myself because I've watched hours and hours of videos, I love this game that much. That's why it's was so great to see a video where they managed to show something I had never seen before, I didn't expect it, it was a great surprise to me.
>>
>>10984342
I think it took me something like 3 years to find the hidden room in the first mission and it was totally by accident. You have to blow up a wall which can only be done with cheats, since there are no explosives to be found on that level. The game was full of this stuff.

>Castlevania however isn't even 20% platforming. There is SOME platforming but very little, there is only one type of jump and you don't solve much with jumping, on the contrary jumping during combat usually puts you at a disadvantage.
Have to go ahead and disagree with you there... Unless you mean Judgment or some other non classic Castlevania. The original is very much an action platformer with jumping for navigating terrain, revealing secret items and combat, which sometimes demands it.

If I get a good score in a puzzle game but skipped early levels did I "beat the game"? Or do I have to start from level 1 every time?

>Playing puzzle games to begin with
You already lost at life.

>>10984287
You’re good. The early levels of a puzzle game shouldn’t pose any challenge at all to an experienced player, so it’s just wasting time for practically no score gain.
>>
>>10984287
Of course you have to do the whole thing to actually "beat the game".
Also,

I don't think my reaction times are getting any better and my hands already hurt like hell after a few minutes of gameplay, so I guess this is already a lost battle. Any games that you'll probably never beat honestly (no save states, no skips, etc).

Beaten 350 NES/FC games. List of games I've given up on trying to beat because they were too hard:

DESU I could probably beat Motocross Champions since I have a save (it's a disk system game) at the final course but that one course is insanely hard
