ITT: games you haven’t played
>>12033126I just started going retro-only, because fuck modern slop. Picked this up for cheap on eBay, just waiting for it to arrive. I love Clive Barker's work, and the premise of a lost city rising up sounds interesting. I'm hoping for at least a few good hours.
>>12034237You can tell Undertale is for weirdos because of the intrinsic traits of the game's presentation. Which is different from finding the fanbase annoying
>>12034246Little off on the retro mark there chief.
>>12034253Well, I'm counting PS3 as my personal cut-off for retro. I forgot it isn't counted as such for this board. My bad desu.
>>12033609lucky you. 3D fucking ruined the series.
When I was replacing the CMOS battery in my PS2 I managed to knock one of the capacitors out, it was the topmost one of a line of 4 right next to where the fan goes. Any idea what it's for or does? Doesn't seem to have affected anything and I can still use it just fine
the top one here
>>12034719It's part of the hdd circuit
>>12034746so presumably if I put one in there it wouldn't work?
easily replaceable with a cheap soldering iron
>>12034751I wouldn't try it.
What's your favorite Pokémon from the original 151?
For me, its Pokémon No. 001
Nidoking, still is
A tie between Sandslash, Primeape and Beedrill.

What went wrong?
>>12028197Ironically, he wanted a piece of the console pie. Except, as 2K also found out later with XCOM: The Bureau, some IPs aren't really that... "consolizable". At least, not if approached directly.
>>12031565Not just IPs, but literal genres, especially before consoles started supporting USB peripherals.>RTS>Flight sims>FPS (this one can be disputed, as GE and Halo proved)
>>12026082They were never good
>>12026082Yes OP, I've also seen the video.
>>12033350What video?
>SNES was mainly for RPGs and Genesis was mainly for shmups and sports games!Meanwhile, back in actual retro times, in the real world, away from disrupted modern midwit revisionism, action side-scroller platformers were the main type of games people played, on both consoles alike.
>>12034130lmao butthurt third world RPG Codex faggot who runs shitty polls and writes shitty books. Sup Felipe.
>>12032642SNES RPG's: -Final Fantasy series- Mana series- Illusion of Gaia- Star Ocean- Breath of Fire series- Dragon Quest- Ogre Battle- Super Mario RPG- Chrono Trigger - Lufia series- Romancing Saga- EarthboundComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>12034179>SNES RPG's>Star Ocean>Dragon Quest>Romancing Saga>Zelda : Link to the Past (If you want to call it one) lol>Genesis was more geared towards CRPG'sUltimaMight and MagicEye of the BeholderDungeon MasterDrakkhen
>>12034129>Sports games generally played better on the Genesis, though once devs figured out the SNES hardware, I could easily say that later sports games were much closer to each other.The First Madden on the Genesis/ MD vs the first Madden on the SNES: https://youtu.be/afuCqZoARwUFIFA:https://youtu.be/nXX_otnUqlQNHL '94: https://youtu.be/oNvaLtIwsCIThough I have to admit, EA was getting much better with the SNES hardware by the time NHL '94 was released. The SNES version as not a bad game. But the Genesis game just ran better. This is not even an isolated thing with EA games. The Motorola 68000 was a better CPU for sports games overall. By the time developers were getting better performance out of the SNES, the 32-bit machines were already rolling into the market. from 1989 - 1994 The Genesis/ MD was the go-to system for anything sports related.
I remember NBA Jam and ISSS being better on SNES than on Genesis, but then again those are the only 2 sports games I cared about back then. It's true that, while normies might have had a Fifa or Madden game, it's not really the first thing that comes to mind when I remember the retro era, SNES or Genesis alike. Platformers were definitely the main genre, with fighting games as the de facto other main genre thanks to the revolution started by SFII and Mortal Kombat.
Why is the meme that MiSTer is overpriced or expensive still regurgitated constantly?You can get a pre-built MiSTer ready to plug-and-play for under $200. That's fucking insane value compared to original consoles, everdrives, RGB mods, and Retrotink 4K.If you don't own/order one by this point, you're just a dumbass.
>>12033486it all started with a project to emulate Atari ST computers on a custom FPGA board, called MiniST.later the project was expanded to also run Amiga computers and renamed MIST (aMIga/ST)a branch of MIST was made to get it running on what was then a cheap and easily obtained Terasic DE10 Nano board. MIST on Terasic. MiSTer.MiSTER Pi ports the MiSTer project over to Altera's Cyclone V FPGA and he should have come up with a cooler name for it, but he didn't.
>>12034176He doesn't care, he's just trolling.Also slight correction, the MiSTer Pi didn't port it to the Cyclone V or the DE-10 Nano board that it's used in, the MiSTer itself started on that board, Taki's Pi just managed to make a DE-10 Nano clone for under $100.
>>12033486>manly child would prefer the "MISTER" was called the "MISTRESS"Try posting that again without a dildo in all your holes "Britney"
>>12034636tell me which one sounds better faggot>i love my mister is really great>i love my mistress is really great without issues.
>>12028362this.
>beat the game in under 3 hours>get bikini metroidhow did they expect kids to know this? did they really think that kids would just randomly speedrun the game?
>>12032983do you even get anything that good for waiting? i do remember that saying no to banon gets you the genji glove though which is way better than the gauntlet, actually makes locke more than forced deadweight in the early game
>>12034024>i do remember that saying no to banon gets you the genji gloveI actually discovered that one accidentally as a kid just because I made a rule to always spam no until the game forced me to say yes
>>12033560Which elementary school are you in?
>>12033726Ironic that you're using a Dragster image
>>12032567We have phones. Yes, people would sit with a landline phone talking for hours.
Yes, I use save states. Im 38 now, I haven't got the patience to redo a precise platform jump 15 times. I just want to enjoy the game
>>12024329lmao
>>12023160Just watch an e-celeb play the game for you you retarded manbaby.
>>12032430>Patches invalidate all previous versionsTwo official releases don't invalidate each other. They are standalone official releases and not the same games.

>>12033268no tits
>>12016037Fuck Leona, Marry Eri, Cuddle Fio.

The stages are a bit more interesting, but the creativity of the Mavericks is questionable, I find the controls to be a bit unresponsive (is it me or do you find yourselves fighting with the air dash more than necessary?) and it just doesn't feel as smooth as X1. Upgrades aren't as useful overall either imoHoping X3 is a better experience
>>12034319i actually prefer the maverick fights but not the stages, although tbf the stages are more designed around the dash. same with the upgrades, like headbutting rocks is just used to get the buster upgrade whereas the scanner is niche but shows where some expansions are, although the x3 scanner is way better about that. with the air dash you just have to jump and dash, don't try to dash jump into one because that's not possible. some people don't like x3 as much but imo i'd say the levels are better, the mavericks are pretty lame though as most just go back and forth and attack. also the buster upgrade is more of a downgrade unless you play the zero project romhack, you can merge the shots but that rarely hits anything.
I didn't have a way to save in mega Man x so I had to start over every time :(
>>12034319Wheel gator stage is cool.Overall X2 is weaker than X1 and X3.
I thought X2 was basically more of X1, controls are the same.The only thing that seemed weird to me at first was the double charged shot. Being used to it on X1, I'd often waste the first shot. But it makes sense and I got used to it, it's a good addition.
In this thread i am forcing you to play Lufia 2 for the SNES, nohting else, just the SNES version. You are free to use one of the many mods for the SNES version, it is also recommend to use the Fure Lufia Mod.Like every year, you don't have to play through, if you still have your save boot it up, go the endless dungeon or level up your foam monster. Revisit the towns and do some sidequest. You also could play through again. As long as you play it, no kitten has to suffer.
>>12034315No, the 2nd one is a prequel.
>>12034313First of all, it fix the many bugs, a direct upgrade to Relnqshd’s Lufia II Fixxxer Deluxe. All of Relnqshd’s enhancements and bug fixes are included in Frue Lufia. It's an all in one pack which even today is being updated, current version is 7.0
I'm sticking to Fixxxer because that hack gives fanfiction vibes.
>>12033192Do you need achievements? Genuine question as I was half tempted to make an account for a TR playthrough but I don't use RA either because it looks like a hassle.
>>12034329which only leads to the retroactive question of what the fuck happened to the capsule monsters between 2 and 1?
I only wish Doom and such was released after it so those too have addictive loot mechanics
>>12033742I have never enjoyed a looter shooter despite loving both shooters and ARPGs, so I prefer they stay separate.
>>12033742>Diablo invented loot
>>12034224I think the problem is that they focus on random affix guns as their main design point and that's not interesting enough to carry a game on its own. It needs to be done as just a first person arpg - design everything essentially the same except where required by the perspective shift.
>>12034482It popularized it for normies, that's what xhe means. Stop pretending to be retarded.
>>12033742go play borderlands then.
You may think, perhaps with good reason, that games with the highest execution demands like shmups or fighting games are the hardest. But you would be WRONG.Sure, these games ARE difficult, but they can also be quite stimulating to play. There's one factor these games are missing which ultimately makes them fall short in the difficulty ratings.RPGs by comparison are exceptionally BORING. So much so that the most skilled players won't even ATTEMPT these games. The prospect of unskippable and progression-critcal WALLS OF TEXT brings the most veteran gamers to their knees.In traditionally hard games, it's possible to rely on muscle memory or reflexes to reach the credits. But RPGs completely FILTER players who rely on these crutches. You can't just autopilot your way through the game. To play RPGs you have to CONSTANTLY fight the hardest boss in all of gaming: DIALOG.There's no shortcuts in RPGs, just grit and willpower, with no comparison when it comes to difficulty. These relentless demands assert RPGs are the most difficult genre in all of gaming. How do you COPE?
>>12029562None of your alternatives have the same level of necessary dialog. This is what filters gamers: they have to pay attention to reading text, often necessary to advance the game. And indeed, dialog has such a central role in RPGs that if you don't read the text, did you really beat the game?
>>12031823>can't spell dialogueNo wonder you hate reading.
>>12031829Oh nice catch. Thank you secretary.
>>12029503Retards with dyslexia think RPGs are hard because you have to read. I also didn't finish his idiotic tirade.
>>12033223If reading isn't hard then why are so many of you not able to finished reading the OP?There may be something to this.
What are the best f/vr/ry games?
>>12028992Please keep your non-retro gacha furry art away from this board, many thanks.
>>12032280Just for you.
>>12026706Nowadays I alternate between being really into the site and being really burnt out on the site. The tranny shit that's being pushed by a vocal minority (I hope) is fucking annoying but it doesn't interfere with the core game play.Here's my favorite spin-off game. While The Darkest Faerie for PS2 has the better lore, this game was the one I actually beat because it wasn't as buggy or hard at the time.
What made Chrono Trigger such a masterpiece?
>>12034672Was it a masterpiece, though? Didn't grab me and the story and aesthetics don't really scream masterpiece to me. Ffvi and smrpg are better SNES jrpgs imo senpai.
>>12034696To be fair, you have to have very high testosterone to understand Chrono Trigger.
Masato Kato is responsible for the cats, which makes him the best guy on the team.
>>12034709I'm currently watching DBZ, just finished Frieza saga. Idk man, something just doesn't click for me and Chrono trigger. Not that I hate it. I enjoy sci Fi, I own nearly every book from Harlan Ellison and Frank Herbert. I like time traveling, but not how CT does it. Ivreallybwant to like it, but it kicks my nuts when I hear it being heralded as a masterpiece and such. I just don't see it. I recently played psiv for the first time too and absolutely loved it. Maybe I'll give CT another shot in a year or so.
It's easy and short enough that it's not a frustrating slog like most jrpgs. The art style is cool and the characters memorable enough. The different eras make the world feel more expansive than your average schizomedieval fantasy setting
