How could you redeem the 32X?
>>12274956>literally the answer to every single one of Sega's problems in the late 1990s.Not really.People overthink way too much about what went wrong with the SEGA Saturn.The issue was not complicated; the console was more expensive and yet worse than the Playstation. You didn't need a master plan to win the generation, you just needed a more competitive hardware.
>>12274628By removing the 32X from existence and telling SEGA to go with their SVP plans instead.>buy $50 lock-on cart with the SVP already inside>SVP games can then be manufactured without the chip, lowering the price to $40 ($20 less than FX games in the SNES)>Genesis is kept alive like SOA wanted with Virtua Fighting, Star Wars and Daytona USA>the rest of Sega's time and effort is than spent on the Saturn, giving SOJ what they wantThe SVP route would have been much less offensive to customers than trying to sell yet another Genesis add-on for $160 when everyone already knew the Saturn was coming. SEGA did what SEGA does best and made the worst possible decision.
>>12274956> make Saturn backwards compatible with the GenesisMake it even more expensive by grafting on an entire genesis and sega cd. The Saturn was already complicated enough. Grafting on two whole additional consoles would be utterly absurd. Backwards compatibility only makes sense it it can reasonably be achieved.

illusion of gaiashadowrun (ive never felt like "rpg" describes this game properly but whatever)
Front MissionBahamut Lagoon
>>12274521Secret of evermore kind of blows. I say this as someone who still has his original boxed copy I bought from the week it came out. I've probably beaten it like 10 times and it sucks every time because the dungeons are just retarded labyrinths in the dark. Don't know how I put up with it back in the day. It looks cool though
wtf this game is good, like REALLY good. you'd think by the cover that it's some cringe western style fighter but that couldn't be further from the case
>>12273714>My HeroI don't see Bejita on that cover
>>12274275unironically Ghost Rider, ps2. It plays like DMC3 or God of War 2 but more action less puzzles and cutscenes. Set it on hard difficulties and enjoy.
>>12273965>Simply abhorrent game design.Lemme guess you're a retard who got filtered by tank controls
>>12274129What about it is bad ?It's one of my favorites from the game.Reminds me of the times where games just tried to be fun, instead of pretending to be serious and end up being a boring game.
>>12274917Very fun game indeed.Wouldn't call it beat Em up though, more like hack n slash.>>12274275There are more, though not much : Spikeout (probably inspired God Hand), Urban Reign, Fighting Force, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, The Warriors, Jet Li Rise to Honor, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, Crisis Beat.I still find them much worse than God Hand but they are good games.Viewtiful Joe doesn't count since it has 3D graphics but 2D gameplay.Not retro, but there is also Sifu. Though I don't like it being too based on parries.
Is Final Fantasy 8 worth playing after 7 or I should skip it and play 9?
>>12273645>anti-fun for those who are compelled to max every number and feel pain when they see numbers dropYou've gotta let go of min-maxing to enjoy this game.People will sit on 99 blizzagas and won't cast it even once because once it reaches 86 blizzagas your character's Mag stat drops from 46 to 45. It's wild because if you really know the game you know you can just refine more blizzagas immediately after the battle ends.I have autism, I have minmaxed the game just to do it, but I would never do that if I wanted to have fun. There's nothing fun about being super OP and one-shotting everything.>>12274484I laughed.
Is there a good way to play FF9 in 2025? Something like a Better Wind Waker patch that has some quality of life enhancements?
>>12274554Memoria Engine, it can do a LOT of stuff but the speed boosts (which don't affect music) alone are worth it.
>>12274575Sick thanks bro.
>>12270159I didn't like the change to real looking people, I didn't like the card game and I didn't like I was losing health or something when I would use a summon. I only played it when it came out. That was the last FF game I played.
Whats the easiest way to replace my xboxs HDD with an SSD? Is there a better way than using the chimp method?
>>12264990chill out, absolutely nobody is glazing DSP
>>12267828>>12268748You could either try a modchip or use cerbios bfm. That should allow you to upgrade your system if it's already softmodded
>>12270245THIS. This thread is about XBox.BUMP.
>>12270928Thanks.
>>12263038From what I recall it is better to use a mechanical hard drive with the OG Xbox since there are no advantages gained by using SSD due to the serial bus or whatever transmits the data. And apparently SSDs wear out faster with the OG Xbox since it is constantly writing lots of little files to the cache when in operation. I've got an 80GB IDE HDD and I can still fit 24 games with all their updates and DLC, so you don't need a lot of storage to play the best games on it.
I've decided to start playing through all the video games I've missed over the years in the order they were released, starting with the NES. I'm not gonna buy every console ever so I'd like to know what your favorite emulator for every system is. I guess the easy answer would be to use retroarch but the UI is so awful and I find it weird to use with all its cores.
>>12273940>Duckstation can't.Yes it can. You just need to enable PGXP in the settings.
>>12274249Fair enough, anon! I enjoy them standalone too, it's all I used before RetroArch. Gens... Fusion... VBA... mGBA... so many good ones!
>>12274680>GensBased. That's what I was using when I was like 12
zsnes my little nigger
>>12273553retro arch for running most things and ppsspp for anything I can't run on my old psp
December is almost over. What are some retro games that January reminds you of?
>>12274962My answer for this will always be Mega Man X. I remember distinctly renting it in Jan 1994, right around its release and choosing Chill Penguin as my first Maverick as I knew his level would be snowy and bleak like it was outside my house. I was completely blown away by the game. 1994 was a great year for the SNES and it starts off with one of the best games on the system. So yeah I always associate it with that year as well as the time of the year I first played it.
>>12274968MMX is one of my all time faves too and while I can't remember exactly when we got it I remember it was very early so probably the same month. I grew up in Florida so snow was just this rare thing I got to experience when we visited family up north but I actually always liked snow levels for that reason, they were like this special thing to me, a psychological respite from the heat, and I remember picking Chill Penguin first.
What do you think about the games published by Titus for the SNES? Overall decent, mediocre, etc?
I gave up trying to play Prince of Persia 2 the first time around because I couldn't get fast the introduction level where the guys keep coming at you on the roof
>>12274950>Wild Guns>Ninja WarriorsThe fuck are you talking about, OP?>EU onlyFuck you, you can't take credit for that.
Another year, another Christmas where I have yet to unlock Sonic in Christmas NiGHTS...Do you have any classic games you associate with the Christmas season?
>>12267706It doesn't take *that* long to unlock sonic, anon.
>>12269281it takes a while if you only play on Christmas and have bad luck
>>12269281Yeah, I should buckle down and just get it done.
>>12267706Is it difficult to unlock him?
>>12274023You have to get...presents or something by playing on several days. I forget the exact method.Basically it just takes awhile.
Isn't it weird how Jigglypuff was shilled a lot back in gen 1 as the Pikachu for girls? It's not even that important in Pokemon Red and Blue, not a single named npc uses one, you can easily miss it, Clefairy a few steps north is a direct upgrade and yet it got a recurring appearance in the anime, got into fucking smash (pretty underserved)Eevee in contrast has actually become the "Pikachu for girls" without any first installment weridness shilling necessary, just by pure merit of its design.
>>12256572I still remember the Raichutranny that spammed here and /vp/ because nobody cared about his mod being featured in a literal who Smash mod.Also got banned on /vp/ for bringing up a romhack to bait in /pol/tard drama. Moderation was really weird few years ago
>>12264428My man. Clefairy was robbed
>>12270862Puff is more cute
>>12268185t. dominated by a jigglychad in smash
Is Jigglypuff the physical embodiment of Genki or Kawaii?

I find this game really funny. There's objectively not that much funny about it, but whenever I play it I giggle at just about everything that happens. Something about voice control gives me a neanderthal's sense of humor. I suppose I also find humor in how unapologetically early 2000s the game is. Like, a monster starts chasing Rio down a hallway and then barely appropriate Drum and Bass starts blaring at full blast.

>>12270052Crusaders of Might and Magic is fucking sick too. A lot of prolific voice actors too.
>>12269396If it's the one I'm thinking of (Demo 1 with Abe's Oddysee, Hercules, Overboard, I think Porche Challenge, Rapid Racer, Kurushi and a few others) then I used to play that religiously, then I lost the disc. Found it as an adult and I genuinely did not remember this game at all, despite playing the rest of them a lot.
excuse me but what the FUCK is this stage? even running full dash nonstop, you dont get enough time to reach the next star before taking damage.
>>12274570Oh ha. Like I said, the Iced Land it's near the first Hammer Bros. cottage. It may be only in the first carts that had the initial stage names and other differences from the revised carts.
>>12273819This is the biggest retard post of 2025, easily.
>>12274549It's questionable if the All-Stars release introduced a bug, or if they changed a behavior that they weren't happy with in the original.Though since SMB2J and All-Night Nippon have the same behaviour across releases, it does seem more likely to be a bug.The hitboxes for piranha plants was also a bug, as the All-Stars release makes them make their sprites and as a result you can no longer run straigh through world 4-2 uninterrupted.
>>12274671>or if they changed a behavior that they weren't happy with in the original.Sounds like nonsense to me, it's literally inverted the effect of hitting a block so instead of bouncing off with a downwards acceleration, you bounce towards the thing you hit, applying the same acceleration in reverse.

So uh, anyone here a fan of /vr/ CoD games? What's your favorite one? How'd you rank them? I've actually played all of them and I'd say2 > 1 > Big Red One > United Offensive > 3 (PS2) > Finest Hour There's also Final Fronts on the PS2 but it's garbage and it's not /vr/
>>12274756>Call of Dutyaka doom war
>>12274756cod 3 was a great playthrough
>>12274838thats f*cking genius

I hate this game so fucking much I'm genuinely surprised it was well received at the time. There are just so many things wrong with it that you have to play it yourself to truly understand
>>12274756I think 1, united offensive, 2 and big red one are all a must play.Big red one has one of more interesting campaigns in entire game series.>Final frontsShould not exist.We have enough 00-07 shooter interest to create big thread.Instead we waste our time on daily whatever shooter sparked someones interest.Are there any good mods for MoH:AA or CoD1 and 2?
