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 WikiEmulation General Wiki
Do you like her? Did you care when she died?
>>10786263that heal all limit is broken afabsolute waste of time to get it sadly
>>10786453I should have worded it better; he had already spoiled all the FMVs for himself and then showed them to me.>>10786465Part of me wonders if they made her limits so broken specifically because they were killing her, and it would make the player miss her even more.
>>10777573skill issue
>>10777614Same here. Previous games i'd played already did that anyway so it wouldn't have had much meaning for me even if I didn't know it was coming.
>>10786465>absolute waste of time to get itit really doesn't take much time at all. If you use Aerith frequently and make her your designated spellcaster/enemy skill user (as she should be anyway) she'll rack up enough kills to get all of her limit breaks without even trying. Then to get her ultimate all you have to do is hit up the cave hobo and a fight however many battles to get the mythril and that's basically it.

>>10787237>Japan did get over 100 games in 2001Only if you consider VNs video games
Which one?
spinball
When I was a kid, I'd probably say 3. But the only one I ever really enjoyed and finished when I went back to them was 2.
>>10787250I like them all, even cd.They all have their merits.I think my favourite is 3&k, but if we are talking about 3 standalone I am picking 2.
3 but you need & Knuckles.Otherwise 1.
3 even standalone. Blue spheres is peak and minute Carnival Night all the zones are solid
What is the best fighter game that SNK made
>>10786759It's sad we cant have nice things. 3 was wonderful and best represents FF and SNK. Even if MotW is considered a better game on a technical level, it just feels so bland to me. Its a shame the new one is a sequel to it.
>>10787160It was an experimental game and I have super mixed feelings about it. The style is easily the best FF game but I like Special/Real Bout's rosters more and Real Bout's gameplay more. The story is almost good but I feel like it loses me thanks to the Jin brothers being kind of mediocre antagonists. Mai's redesign wasn't it. RB2 is truly peak FF but I wish more fighters were like AOF1/3 where the story isn't about a tournament and was more like an action flick where all the player characters happen to encounter each other. Garou is fine but it does reek of "giving up"
>>10787191I would have been happy to see the Jins gone in exchange for Duck and Billy, but that kinda fucks up the plot. Other then that, 3 for me is the true "street fighter" experience.
KoF XI.Do I need to defend my opinion or is it too late?
>>10787269No go ahead

>>10787248No tc if possible, thanks
I wonder if its possible to make a physical CD of Unreal GOLD, Unreal Tournament 1999, Quake 2, and Quake 3 Arena work properly on a 2010s Lenovo computer? I recently got copies of the former, and a 1999 version of Q3A along with an Interact brand dual analog controller with parallel port pin-out connected to a female parallel-to-USB adapter, and another controller that has a male parallel port along with a setup floppy disk recommended for WIN 95 and 98 PCs. This was thanks in no small part to an Uncle of mine.Oh, and the Q3A copy I have is a Linux version.
>>10787245Wrath of Cronos?
Great, seems that PixelFX, the company that is one of the few/only ones making HDMI mods for retro consoles like the N64, PS1, and DC, have started adding DRM to their devices where the firmware is encrypted to each device's unique ID.It's fucking PSIO/Terraonion all over again.
Fuck em I switched to rgb. At least it's less mods to install. But I feel your pain hdmi is convenient. There's an alternative hdmi mod for n64. Adanced n64 rgb or something to that effect
the most underrated FF game
>>10785045There's a trick with that, there's apparently 2 or 3 intros and if you don't watch them all, nothing will make sense when you start.
>>10785045Played for about an hour but it was getting late. I love it already though it looks fantastic and has a great atmosphere.
>>10783290>it makes the whole game sound like pretentious flatulence.Kek
>>10785549That’s honestly a good mechanic even if it’s harsh
>>10783072just got the crossbow this shits a masterpiece
Thoughts on this game regarding its platforming element?
>>10778959Bought the game, played through it once, never bothered with it again. Its not very good in any aspect and the gameplay, particularly the platforming, is pretty rough.
>>10785195>Its not very good in any aspectVisuals and music are great.Combat is fun, bosses are good.Level design is mid, basically a metroidvania in 3D but with smaller Castle sections instead of all being interconnected. Platforming is rough yeah but then again there's not that many good 3D platformers.
It's comfy though
Best level? House of Scared Remains?
>>10778959The PS2 Castlevanias are dogshit.
Soul Edge really corrupts you in this one
>>10768693Taiko Drum Master saves never lasted more than a few days for me. What the hell was Namco's problem with PS2 saves?
>>10786634At least tell me which tournaments you participated in if you think that my opinion shouldn't matter because I don't play competitively.>>10786641>III is where all the art direction was thrown out the window for clown designs and the setting turned from "historical with a fantasy twist" to "full blown shonen anime with a 1600s date slapped on top"I disagree, III's designs are overall more similar to the previous entries than they are to SCIV. That's true about every returning character except for Raphael. And this is the last game that used the classic Soul Edge and Soul Calibur designs introduced in SoulCalibur. In fact, I'd say that design between Soul Blade and SoulCalibur is more different than between SCII and SCIII, though some of that undoubtedly has to do with the limitations of Playstation.>An idea that gives control of its outcome to dumb players is a dumb idea by design. Players are not designers for a reason.That's not necessarily true. A lot of western RPGs allowed or even required you to create your own character back in the day. Create a Soul (or rather how people used it starting from SCIV on) was a symptom, not a cause. They used it to make joke designs because the rest of the game was a joke.>Guest characters destroy the identity of every game they are featured in and bring in a fanbase who only wants to erode the original gameAgain, this point I agree with. Good thing that III has no guest characters, unlike II or IV.
bump
>>10786563I think Wii U port of TTT2 didn't sell well. Wii U's sales was most likely the factor. They also reduced or removed some stuff like props and snow from stages because of complaints. People thought it was because of Wii U's lack of power.Another possibility is that PSN and Xbox Live might not have allowed SC2 to be released on their platforms if it didn't have Link. I that was the reason Dynasty Warriors 7 remove Japanese voice acting from PS3 version despite having Blu-ray. After Mortal Kombat 9's Kratos guest character things went for extra featurs the worse because PS3 version sold much more.>>10786574I doubt that. They were most likely trying to maintain good relations.
>>10787256>They also reduced or removed some stuff like props and snow from stages because of complaints. People thought it was because of Wii U's lack of power.Come to think of it maybe it really was because of Wii U's lack of power and their reasoning was a bullshit excuse. PS3 and 360 versions have reduced props as well.
What is the correct course of action when you finish a videogame?
>>10778903Fight the unhappy thoughts with another game
>>10783663Making money off of being a Let's Player is not feasible in 2024. That ship sailed a decade ago and only a few well-connected rich socialites can make it happen now.
>>10778956I hope this is what happens when I die.
>>10778903Watch the credits while smoking a black and mild short wine wood tip with the lights off, as the developers intended.
>>10778903Fuck about with cheat codes and exploits to break the game for shits and giggles.
What are some interesting PS2 videogames that are no longer than 6-7 hours? Preferably lesser known ones.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
>>10785646rygarit's the game god of war ripped off
>>10787079Spoke like a true libtard who hates factsTruth hurts
>>10787127Facts? How about this fact: PS2 has zero games as iconic as Halo or Halo 2. Now cry. Go ahead. Cry.
>>10786240Why was xbox in last place considering they put so much into it and revolutionized gaming. It's like dreamcast 2.0
>>10786240Only Gamecube was good
>>10786240both secondary consoles although i played so much halo 2 online that it was probably my most played next to the ps2
HOLD. DEVILS. POT OF TEA.
>look up the meaning behind all the singing>all of the lyrics are framing Kratos as the villain and urging every other character to stop him
Finally beat this motherfucker on Titan. Dropped it years ago during the translator part, but I started a new run from the beginning two weeks back and it went way smoother than I remembered despite not having touched any of the games in almost a decade. Feels good to know I've actually become better at games since then.
HOLD. DEVIL'S. POT OF TEA.HOLD. DEVIL'S. POT OF TEA.HOLD. DEVIL'S. POT OF TEA MULAN.
>>10786594Obviously. Retardo.
