>Difficulty Level: Go Fuck Yourself

Why did the devs do it? Were they angry at the fans?

People are rightly complaining that the game's level design is boring and doesn't take advantage of Lara's kit, or that the puzzles are boring (backtracking) or full of bullshit (too cryptic).
>>
>>12270696
>backtracking
There's significantly less backtracking in TR3 than TR1 or 2, and definitely less than TR4, specifically because TR3 has "alternate routes" as a design element, meaning you pick one direction and stick with it.

I have rarely heard of Tomb Raider 3 being criticized for too much backtracking. Too cryptic? Yes.

They admitted that they were done with the series already and wanted to do other things. But success forced them to do it.

I recently began playing the Crash Bandicoot games. I cleared the first one and got 100% in it, it was kind of amateurish but I had a good time with it.
Crash 2, though, I'm enjoying less. I finished the main story and while it's neat that Crash has more moves he can do, it has kind of huge number of gimmick levels (and the last boss was really easy). And now I'm working on 100%, but it's kind of less fun in that regard, too. There's so much "uhh actually to 100% this level, you have to warp to it from another level, or you have to beat the hard path and then go backwards through the other path and then go back forwards," and on and on. And then on top of that, some crates are hidden offscreen and some warps are in places you'd NEVER check with no indication of them. Still pretty fun though.

I 100% Crash Warped thrice and I still have no idea how I was supposed to find Eggipus Rex.
>>
>>12269354
Even if you removed those levels from Warped, I doubt the game would improve that much considering how it takes a nose-dive in level design and difficulty. Not to mention how broken you are by the time you reach the fourth and fifth (which should be the hardest by the way)

So if the Playstation was never made do you think the Saturn would have taken its place and obliterated the competition due to being the closest thing to the PSX?

Would pic related be possible? Surely the Saturn can do FMVs unlike the n64 but I can't see more 3d oriented ps1 games being successfully made for the Saturn instead of being sent to the n64, I think symphony of the night being ported to Saturn and Megaman Legends to n64 is a good comparison of what I mean

It's actually is a real transparent layer
>>12266547
This is possible because it's a different VDP2 layer so making it transparent was easy with now downsides and basically free
Technically the background spotlights drawn by VDP1 could've had their pixels flagged to be made transparent by VDP2 since they're behind every other VDP1 object so I dunno why they didn't do that (only downside is the light wouldn't be brighter where the spotlights cross)
Though the foreground spotlight (pic related) needs the checkerboard fake transparency or else it would eat every VDP1 object drawn behind it (sprites)
>>
>>12270019
>>Maegawa: It is pretty difficult. Compared to the Saturn I think it's more difficult.
Given the context is Yuke Yuke, I'm guessing the reasoning is that 2D on the N64 is less straightforward. No 2D rectangle blits and a VDP2 to handle the fullscreen backgrounds. Have to orthographic project billboards and tesselate.
>>
>>12266116
The playstation had such a huge warping effect on the industry that it's impossible to guess. The saturn might've been weaker, the n64 might've switched to cds, who fucking knows.

I don't see the value in "difficult" games
It's just button inputs, there's no actual skill and especially no transferable real world skill
I don't see how beating a hard game has any value compared to literally any hobby IRL

Difficult games lose their appeal as you get older and have less free time and energy. "I'm going to make you play my game for hundreds of hours just to stretch out the runtime!" I have a job and a mortgage to deal with, and I can't stay up all night just to grind away at a single game. If you want me to spend a lot of time on your game, justify it without artificially lengthening it.

So I think we all know that the game has a demo vid showing you how to beat the tutorial but what about the manual? Does the manual teach the moves? I got the game second hand without the manual so I wouldn't know.

I will go ahead and say, after some time my cousin who is much more into pokemon than I am said that he was not a fan of some of the new typings and found them sort of nonsensical in this hack. Didn't hate them, but he just didn't like them either. Just something to keep in mind. I personally didn't notice them myself, but I also more or less cut out around gen 4 so my memory on a lot of this stuff is sorta blurry.

Can confirm, I remember an issue where in SOS (the cheats segment) they copy pasted fake codes from GameFaqs in the exact same format and wording.

the NEOGEO Pocket was really colorful, but there was no way to beat Nintendo. Also it's surprising to me that every Japanese company had their own cute mascot, even Namco had Pac man, but SNK got nothing, terry doesn't count for obvious reasons. How did they think they were gonna compete?

Discuss anything involving Wii homebrew for playing retro games.
Right now I'm using the Retroarch Hexaeco build for games and it's been working very well so far with everything I've tried (Neo Geo was the only core that I tried that had crashes and it was with the big games like KoF2002).
