>>12310116>Which ones you most looking forward tomineNO you can't know what game it is and NO i haven't started it yet nor do i know how
>>12313009cool, and what do (You) plan on doing with it?i'm guessing nothing
>>12310116None of the titles I’d like to be decomp’d are being done, so I wait until someone does and then ports as well. Fighting games don’t often get love in this regard.

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.
>>12310460It took me until like my third or fourth playthrough to realize what the whole Hidon thing was about, as I usually never went back to Thamasa in the WoB after Kefka invades, so I never talked to Gungho, and even when I did go back once and saw him, I didn't have Strago on hand so I didn't trigger the extra dialogue showing Strago's insecurity and Gungho's contempt. So the whole sequence in the WoR would usually feel out of left field for me, but I did it anyway because why not? Annoying ass dungeon, though.
>>12291987>despite Marle and Frog both being considered on the low end of characterThis is just such a bizarre thing to say because Chrono Trigger is so easy it literally doesn't matter who you put in your party. Like do autists actually get anxious or something? "Oh no, I checked the tier list and Marle is only a B! I-I'm not gonna win the game at this rate!!"So weird, man. Who obsesses over this stuff? I put Marle in my team cause she's a pretty blonde girl and I got all 13 endings to this game or however many.
>>12312351People usually need anchors in their parties, even when the game doesn't. It could be something like always having at least one multi-target healer or elemental coverage, but yeah, the game isn't hard enough to stress on it. Just becomes a matter of who people gravitate to
>>12312351Maybe try thinking about the topic for more than 30 seconds before making a post about it. See if you can figure out a reasonable answer to your question. (And no, "other people are retarded but I'm not" is the incorrect answer. If that's what comes into your head and you're unable to shake it, rest assured that you will never not be a dumber and less interesting person than that other anon posting about his Chrono Trigger party.
>>12312351Yeah, the game is too easy for it to matter (same with Final Fantasies 6 through 9, really), but it's still true that some characters are indeed better than others. Nothing weird about acknowledging that.
What went wrong? Was the hate overhyped?
>>12309004I still remember the massive asshurt online when this game was announced as an Xbox-exclusive, almost every webcomic at the time had a page roasting the original Xbox or calling Lorne a sellout.
>>12309004I feel like the original Xbox had like 40 different forgettable 3D platformer games.
>>12309004At first I was annoyed that they went Xbox exclusive as someone who loved the PS1 games, but as soon as I saw the screenshots I knew there was no way that could run on PS2.
>>12312803it's weird, because they were all better than memorable N64 and PS1 platformers
>>12309273>Even making it GC exclusive would've make it more belovedOn the internet it would.
I hate DC1 for the following reasons:1. It doesn't do anything with its ambitious concept, taking place in samey, sterile lab corridors with the dinosaurs just tacked on. They could have been any kind of animalistic monster and it wouldn't have made a difference2. 90% of the enemies you encounter are just Velociraptors, over and over and over again. Game should be called Raptor Crisis.3. The inventory and UI system is unintuitive and needlesly complicated with item bloat galore. I assume there is a reason you have no concrete health indicator and that every action you can do in the inventory is devided into a gorillion sub menus.4. The game is like 50% cutscenes, especially in the first half. Take two steps - cutscene, open a door - cutscene, turn around - cutscene. On and on, it's like a proto Snoy exclusive game.5. Combat sucks and gets old very quickly due to the very limited enemy roster.6. While puzzles are great there's just too much of them and they follow the same theme of needless overcomplication like the UI and inventory systemAll in all, it's a very lackluster game with some serious design flaws. It's no "hidden gem" as zoomers like yap about these days. I'm convinced that the people who say it's a masterpiece haven't played in since it came out and only have a vague memory of it being "resident evil with dinosaurs", which sounds cool but the game doesn't deliver.
>>12310717Good point. RE would not have been as good full 3d back then
>>12310717Probably because they didn't want people to complain "dude it's just the same as RE, this is a rip off!!"
>>12310340It's not 30 minutes long. It's the perfect lenght for that type of game and a proper adventure.>>12310757Sure glad that didn't happen...
>>12307072the ideas are cool but actually playing it feels fucking miserable, i don't see why people defend it, just like Gothic
I think it's a classic survival horror on par with other great survival horror games from that era and I honestly am overdue for a revisitshould I emulate or play it on my PS2 that's hooked up to an actual CRT?
how did you react to this boss fight?
>>12310210he should have ruined your ass
>>12309347His Vandal Hearts line is bugged for some reason. The game still checks for it, but he doesn't say it.
>>12308000based
>>12307812literally this. I was so fucking socked and confused
>>12307812Pretty much the same reaction as everyone in this thread. Only thing I do not like about it is how you cannot defeat him the alternative way unless you purposely die. If campbell doesn't tell you about it, you can't even destroy the statues.
I think the main reason SMB3 has such an inordinately high reputation compared to basically any other NES game is its extreme length masking its lack of challenge. It's a 2 hour long game for a casual playthrough, 3 if you're bad at platforming. It's relatively easy, and nowhere near as esoteric as other retro titles, but there was this idea that being able to beat any NES game was an achievement unto itself, so people assumed long = hard. Because kids in the early 90s got filtered by practically their entire libraries, SMB3 stood out as the one thing they could actually complete; all you needed was a small time investment, the game basically plays itself for 60% of the runtime. Keep in mind that most of SMB3's levels aren't even fully-realized concepts, so much as a flat plane, followed by a single gimmick iterated once or twice, and then it ends. "Nintendo Hard" was such a strong idea back then that it made people believe literally anything Nintendo made was hard even when it wasn't. In SMB3 you can tank multiple hits, every five steps you're rewarded with powerups, most enemies have simple patterns and are easy to avoid. But because there's so much variety stretched over such a big map this gives the illusion that you're playing a deep and engaging masterpiece testing the limits of games as a medium. The idea that a game isn't good because it requires skill or knowledge of abstract ideas, but because it throws many things at you and is essentially a dopamine factory, that all comes from SMB3. I don't even dislike the game but whenever I see it brought up in all-time great discussions I have to assume it's coming from someone who is either terminally afraid of moving on from their childhood or just straight up hasn't played more than maybe 15 games in their entire life.
>>12310356It's definitely not easy, it's one of the harder games on NES and is extremely long, has no save system, and is extremely tense/mentally exhausting near the end due to the precision required. I would put it in between Zelda 2 and GnG in difficulty.
>>12312248>Difficult on the NES meant it's not explained at all what you're meant to be doing and there's no clear logic. Nintendo were logicalLmao no. You know what you're meant to be doing in SMB2J but it's still much harder than SMB3

>>12309029The Alf Christmas episode is literally kino and insanely sad and tragic. I remember watching it as a kid and liking it. I watched it recently and holy fuck it made me cry a tiny bit. It's like the saddest show or movie I've ever seen. Can't believe they aired it. But I do recommend it.Also, there's some Alf movie they made in the mid 90s and it's not bad. Worth watching if you want some comfy 90s tv

Are CRT filters necessary to enjoy retro games?
>>12308379You're going to be mad when you look at images in the official NES Zelda manual.
>>12311354Or in the original FDS version.https://archive.org/details/booklet_loz_jp/page/n19/mode/2upAll throughout is picture after picture of scanlines and blending.
Artistic vision from end to end of a production almost never exists. The graphic designer putting together a magazine article or instruction manual likely isn't going to listen to "but it's SUPPOSED to look blurry." he's going to use the tools he has and if those are pin sharp RGB monitors with a camera, or an RGB digitiser, that's what he's going to use. Hell, he could fucking redraw them in little squares by hand from a reference image and ain't nobody going to stop him.
>>12306848Maybe he meant 3D with 2D backgrounds?
>>12308416I thought that used svideo.
