This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki
How did people react to this back in the day? The level of detail in the world feels like a full generation ahead of the tech in 2004. It's nuts.

A dozen of my friends had a SNES, yet I've only once saw a Mega Drive.Same with the Dreamcast, only one friend had it, because his weird older brother bought it for the internet.I guess Nintendo and Playstation sales aren't taken into account because most of them were imported, since no one had a license to officially resell it.

For good reason, Master System king
>>12316783They love Playstation too, since they are poor people consoles. Rich kids had/have Nintendo and Microsoft consoles.>t. not poor person from Brazil

>>12318227With my hands? hahah done
>>12315406as said here>>12315419. its a pc game, the game ran on the cave pc which was a gigabyte board with an dual core athlon 5050e and an onboard radeon HD3200, you can run the game on any pc, look for a dump on archive, it will have a program like jconfig for setting control/display options, game runs fine on an old core2duo with a DX9 GPU, nvidia has some graphical glitching but still playable, so probably better with an AMD GPU, if not theres the xbox360 version you can play with xenia or just get the steam bundle with both games, though both of these run under DX11, while the original pc port of DS1 was DX9 along with the cave pc version of DS2.

>>12318459I really want a cube but I can't justify it now that I have a pocket air mini
>>12318460Yeah, that's the mindset. There MAY be a way to get it running on the exact same chip as the Frame's, and I won't pretend to know the details on that, but what I do know is ARM is a far-cry from x86 in every way, including openness. People act like someone's just gonna dump the NAND and release a janky touched up image to flash on anything like the those early Deck SteamOS ISOs. No matter what their people claim, Valve is not taking up the gargantuan task of maintaining a universal OS, they'll just keep the projects they develop and/or fund open source - like FEX, a cornerstone of insufferable malware android apps like gamehub. Maybe devices that already have Linux support can benefit from developments on the Frame, but only time will tell. I'd expect the Rocknix people to be ecstatic if it were that simple. >>12318459How is it? I heard it's less sturdy than the CubeXX from people who own both. Any lightbleed?>I autistically like handheld that can almost play everything but in a shit way.Is it though? I think GB with bezels looks pretty great, you can push 8:7 with overscan on integer, perfect GBA scaling, and ok 3.5" 4:3, plus in your case decent TATE coverage while the h700 starts to coughs blood around dondonpachi. Tallscreen-hack GC looks sick too on framebuffer light games.
Post vidya characters who you consistently see people shit on but are actually not as bad as they're made out to be.Pic related. Admittedly, Relm doesn't make a good first impression, and her special Skill, which is how the game differentiates between the many characters and sells you on them during the first half of the game, really does suck and never gets better. But she really is quite capable, especially during the second half. What people miss is that more than any other character, she is completely reliant on both her gear and learned Magic to be good. Her gear is among the best in the game, and she has both the highest natural Magic stat and the gear that most raises that stat, so once you teach her good spells and get her best equipment, she becomes a powerhouse. Not the best, mind you, as other characters like Terra and Celes surpass her in other respects, and other characters like Sabin kick ass with far less work put into them, but she is hardly trash.Of course, if you just don't like her as a character, that's a different story, but battle-wise, you can certainly do a lot worse.
>>12315674Can you elaborate on what you mean by poor encounter design?
>>12317537I don't think he can.
>>12317537>>12318089Not that guy but you don't need to max out all your shit in FF9 to get really powerful abilities. Maybe it's as easy to unlock extreme power as it was in FF6 and FF7 but that's not much of a standard. FF9 is constantly bugging you to do all this extra side bullshit. You can't blame a player for "engaging" with the dumbass fucking frog-catching game or chocobo hot and cold or any of FF9's other lame minigames and side quests.

I liked it. Yes it was slow and clunky, but it was still fun and has animations that put even Capcom's contemporaneous work to shame.
>>12318145I'd understand it if they did a terrible job or if they were literally stealing your work, but as far as I know, it was neither. The second guy always made sure the first guy was credited every step of the way. First guy literally didn't know how his licenses worked and fucked himself over. It's like putting out a game-specific text-editor and being surprised that you opened the floodgates for anyone with a basement IQ to make shitty script hacks. What did he expect?
>>12318130Clearly 2D
>>12318529You clearly haven't played it then
>>12318440How do you even license something that's just a modification of a work you don't own you begin with?

>>12317628Is hiring someone else to do it more expensive than learning how to do repairs as someone with no such skills?
>>12317638this thread is quite good
I can see this thread is yet another shining testament to 4chan's contribution to online discourse
>>12318320Knowledge like that is priceless anon
>>12318320Yes, much more expensive. A basic soldering gun is $5 and the tutorial is like 30 minutes to learn how to do something like replacing a fuse.

>>12317443yea i got a brand new in box compaq 7500for around $100
I saw this for free tonight just as it was posted and flew out the door to get it. 14" RCA TruFlat with s-video. Very low mileage, it's like new
>>12317443I bought one for $20 in a walmart but that was nearly 15 years ago

if you haven't mastered at least three fighting games by three different developers, and this is a minimum, you can't be called a "fighting gamer"
>>12314045Well, I have. So what now?
>>12314045I've mastered at least ten and played most that exist. Zoomers all suck at these games because they're anti social
I can live with that.
>>12317861No you can't. Shi ne.
>>12315313Heh>>12315267That's GAYTARDED. You're offended because you're mentally weak
Which rains supreme?
>>12300708Blood Omen 2 is really good for what it is: braindead but fun action-adventure with fantastic gothic atmosphere. BO2 honestly gets too much hate simply for being the black sheep of the LoK family.Defiance could have been good but HOLY FUCK the gameplay loop of>go into one of those shrines>get a different reaver>lore drop>repeatgot really old really fast. Otherwise the game was great. Dropping enemies off cliffs and hearing them scream on the way down was cool. Vorador's mansion was the best level.
>>12310951That's not what really happened. Raziel is just going into the Reaver, as destiny intended. The only thing different is that, thanks to shenanigans, the blade is now purified, alongside Kain, healing him from the corruption that prevented him from actually performing his role a Guardian of Balance. As much as BO2 sucked, I'd would have to argue that it still happens, in a rough way. Raziel and the Soul Reaver can still fuck up time, and I'd imagine eliminating the younger Kain and Heart of Darkness would be bad for all sides at this point.
>>12300708Kains Supreme
Dunno I haven't played either. My opinion matters too
>>12318094Fuck you asshole
video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"
>>12318351>it's crazy how no game managed to capture the spirit of TyrianWhat is the "spirit", exactly? Just judging from all of the people who shill it here, the only thing "good" about the game is that it's mindlessly easy and that it has seven trillion meaningless weapon combinations. What about that is meaningful? What about that is interesting? Why would you care about that or want more of that?
>>12318351>for me it's the graphics and musicThere are so many other shmups with graphics and music that mog the shit out of Tyrian, though?
i didn't mean to bait you all, i just wanted someone to recommend me a game similar to tyrian.
>>12318495that's the thing, there isn't one. it's a shame that accessibility is so hated but go figure
>>12318351> crazy how no game managed to capture the spirit of tyrian for so many years.Jets'n'Guns comes close but it's lacking the ridiculous amount of extra shit and obscure secrets like mini games, fighting game special moves, extra difficulties, super arcade mode or even hidden graphics settings.
Are CRT filters necessary to enjoy retro games?
>>12317281RF filters for 3rd gen, Composite for 4th gen and S-Video/RGB for 5th gen. RGB for arcade and PC games. That said RGB is close enough to modern screens to not bother IMO.
>>12317778>RF filters for 3rd genComposite is RF with no snowWhy would you want snow?
>>12316142hee hee
>my eyes>the goggles do nothingWhy are CRTfags, supposed proponents of digital visual clarity, so incapable of operating a point-and-shoot digital camera?
