What's your favorite SCUMM or point-and-click adventure game?pic related, Day of the Tentacle is the only 2D game with a hand-drawn cartoon art style that doesn't look like a cheap Disney imitation, and it's all beautiful. Legitimately funny too, with clever puzzles that aren't bullshit but are not obvious like all good adventure games.If it can be played on SCUMMVM, it counts.

>>10919960In Full Throttle, he isn't saying "I don't spelunk." He's saying "I dont's belong" in a Popeye accent. He doesn't feel like he should be in the game. This was before video game unions when you can force characters to do whatever
Monkey 3 supremacy
Loved Sam and Max (though I haven't beat it).And Pajama Sam too>>10920416Hell yeah brother
translation when? (FX version)
>>10916976Cute
>>10917076I played a patch for 5 years ago that was almost complete. The story was mostly done and I had a fully translated guide for the other parts. The game itself is absolute dogshit though, and I consider 2 to be one of my favourite games. I wouldn't be surprised if that patch was completed and just sitting in a forum post somewhere.
>>10917076It baffles me that some company decided to do a cheap remake of Langrisser 1 and 2, and yet ignored 3.You know, the last game of the original trilogy, the one that was never fan translated and also had shitty combat, thus the one that would benefit the most from a remake that fixes this.The one and only reason they could give us to buy their shitty game, and they screwed that up.
>>10921271>>10921346NTA, why is it dogshit?
3 was the first Langrisser I got into and I had a great time with it. I turned off battle animation, of course, but I did that in all the games.It spoiled me on magic being powerful 'cause it turned out to be weaker in the rest of the series.It was fun using the level-select cheat to go back and fix mistakes to get different endings; turned it into a time-travel game. Going back to fight the "unbeatable" boss in stage 1 was amusing too.
just spent 130 dollars on importing a japanese saturn and a pseudosaturn kai 4 in 1 mainly for this game. a little late now that i impulse bought it, but do you guys think its as kino as everyone says? any other saturn rpgs/games youd recommend?
>>10920904I need to sleep on this to decide if this is genius or complete bullshit. It could really go either way. I'll let it slide for now though
>>10920906The game calls you out by name and edge thanks you for guiding him at the very end.
the game is kinda boring I heardyou better enjoy it though
I usually can’t get into RPGs but this one got me interested. I liked the combat system, the story and the exploration. Thats basically the whole game. I’m mostly an action game guy though, and I think this game appeals to people who aren’t into traditional RPGs. I tend to drop RPGs due to boredom unless they’re either baby’s first RPG or unconventional and somehow interest me, so my recommendation might not mean much. Only ones I’ve played through to the end are Final Fantasy 1, Pokemon Gen 1, Earthbound, Dragonforce, Paper Mario, Mario RPG, Shining Force 1,2,3, Golden Sun and this. Panzer Dragoon Saga or pokemon might be my favorite. I think I’ll try Skies of Arcadia or FF7 next, if I ever play another one.
>>10920791>bought a psuedosaturn cart instead of a sarooNGMI
If you had to think about the question for twenty years, would you say it's that bad?
>>10920973There's a mod that makes this playable on its own, right?
>>10921889sure
It somehow manages to be a more primitive game than CV1 and a much more tedious game than SCV4.
>>10921116It's not a bad translation; the townspeople are supposed to be liars.https://legendsoflocalization.com/digging-up-castlevania-iis-graveyard-duck/
Loved the game when I first played it in the fall of '88 and still love it today.
>all it needed was a fuckin' DVD player
>>10920465I also want to add that by your logic, piracy didn't help sell PS1's because the games would have taken forever to download, correct?
>>10922142I didn't pirate anything from the internet but single MP3s in the 90s.Movies and games I pirated through trading burned discs and downloading them from the network at LAN parties.
>>10922149And yet there were anti-piracy ads on both TV and trailers before the movie starts on VHS/DVD, trying to sway people not to download movies back in the late 90's/early 2000's. You're not fooling anybody here.
>>10917452Yes, founded, that is true. Even so, doesn't make every game they made trash inherently beyond appeal. You sound somewhat like a broken record repeating the same things over and over? They never stooped to levels of incompetent censorship like Sony did in 2017-late 2018. Bernie was definitely as much one of them as most of the pre-Genesis era board of directors and Chairmen. By the time the Saturn was on its way out (in the West, mind you) They were fewer in number in the company.

>>10921010That depends, most versions of Hamurabi will require a famine to hit you to get the highest rating as technically you didn't starve them which is pretty shit design.
>>10921003You think I haven’t used a display like that before? You’re mistaken. The green glow is everything.

>>10920587This game is what Earthworm Jim 3 should have strived to be like.
>>10920587I loved this game, but not as much as I love beans.
the bonus room theme song still scares me
>>10922140Legit made me jump as a kid the first time I heard it.
What's your favorite final fantasy and why?
>>109168498. I love batshit Japanese stories. Someone told me 8 was like Twin Peaks of Final Fantasy and that's what made me play it and I loved it. Junctioning just tickled my tism and I loved managing all that shit. The music was great.Second fav is 5 because it was just simple and fun but the job system was neat
>>10921638>to this day I wonder about the deep sea research centerwhat's to wonder aboutgo be a faggot in the shumi village
4, 7, 9, 12
>>109168497 because its the best one.
Tactics. It has the best story imo but it falls flat after it leaves an interesting political struggle concerning outright oppression with some other strong themes and instead turns into some sort of monster-of-the-week bullshit. I sort of suspect the people making it couldn't decide between having the genuinely interesting plot or the demons bs until the end, as if there were real arguments but they were ultimately forced to put in both for some reason, one preceding the other as the game progressed, as if they ran out of time or something. The story is outright superior to those of all other final fantasy games.Tactics also has the most likeable characters in my opinion. The gameplay itself is actually difficult at times and requires thought. The job system is great, I believe the music is very underrated.
Holy shit this is a colossal leap over the first, gameplay is tight as hell and the visuals are some of the best of the generation.
>>10919736Yeah sucks because I really do play these "wowie zowie the bad guy stole all the bazinga gemeralds!" games for their story.
They wanted the GTA3 audience.
>>10918489FIRST Ratchet & Clank is not only more fun game with much more interesting mechanics, longer, more polished but also makes way better use of PS2 processing power rendering insane details, making worlds feel alive with hundreds of spaceships flying around.Oh and it has 15 guns instead of 4. Naughty Dog is so ovverrated.
>>10921208Jak 2 decomp is essentially finished. I finished it on Deck last month and had zero issues. OpenGOAL is outstanding.
>>10921674Ratchet 3 is the best one.

Is it a realistically achievable goal for the average player? Do you have any yourself?
Some games are easier to 1CC than others. Contra and Super C are supposedly-hard games that are actually pretty easy to 1CC.
>>10919697>Is it a realistically achievable goal for the average player?If "the average player" is a shitposter asking "can i has 1cc" then no. Totally impossible.
>>10919697i have 1cced most fighting games that i have really really liked, i have come super close to 1cc super turbo, jap edition but for both times gouki ambushed me,for shooting games, the only one that i have managed to 1cc was twinkle star sprites, which happened automatically, i would play it with my neighbor a lot, who loved it, and so i would play alone too, and one day i managed to complete it, fully
I have a 1CC in Metal Slug and Harmful Park. Both are rather doable as an average player.
>>10919697It's only achieveable through savestates. Anyone claiming they don't do savestates is lying.
