video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"

i beat it recently and really loved it, i want more but there doesnt seem to be a big system shock modding scene, what are some other games like it?
>>12312638>>12312656based nightdive, buying two copies because zogbots do deserve to get shot in the head
>>12312694Eh, I'll just buy it on sale. For $13 I do'nt need to get political

>>12312694I don't know why no one complained about those terrible AI upscaled cutscenes in Dark Forces Remaster.It looked awful and yet some people even praised the new cutscenes.
>>12309405System Shock 2Ultima UnderworldThief the Dark ProjectRealms of the HauntingIron HelixOr, if you just wanna shoot robots, play Terminator Future Shock & Skynet
I like this game a lot but I always thought its roster was weak.>SF newcomers to the Vs series are solely shotos>Omega Red over Dr.Doom, Thanos, Psylocke or anyone else from COTA/XMenvsSF>Norimaro (even if I find him fun) is a really bizarre addition
Holy shit this main character is a HUGE faggot! Why do Japs think this type of character is cool?
>>12312538I don't think Japs do, it's just otaku memes. They like herbivore characters because they resent strength.
>>12312538Didn't play but let me guess, a whiny piece of shit like Shinji
>>12312538He's just a kid, the game even treats him as having gotten lucky to have fallen into what is basically a super overpowered mecha compared to what he fights. And even with that he basically just got lucky when fighting the boss of the game... and when up against an actual soldier with a mech of similar ability could not even scratch him and you are forced to just run away.He's replaced by an actual adult veteran in the second game anyway and ends up as a child soldier that's just one of the many NPCs assisting you like >>12312589 said.>>12312609I would say it's closer to a DBZ game if DBZ was about giant robots.
>>12312609It's a tech demo that they used to sell the MGS2 trial disc.
>>12312538who gives a fuck this was an excellent game>>12312538
I was convinced this game was SOTN inspired, but it fucking predates SOTN?!
>>12312443as someone that has played both games I dont see how you could compare this with Hexen at all besides that they are both first person shooters

>>12312615>"minor cosmetic wear">label is torn off in two places
>Earthbound with the Vancian Magic/Spell Charge SystemWould it be sick or lame?
>>12312607I've heard of unusual time signatures but don't know much about them.But even you should be able to understand a basic song timing of 1-2-3-4, where you can tap your fingers or clap your hands to that basic rhythm.Mother 3 has a diverse soundtrack with lots of different time signatures though, so you can't just do the same 1-2-3-4 timing on every battle, especially when the tempo changes for different sequences within a song.

Thoughts on Double Dragon?
>>12308036First side scrolling beat’em up I ever played. Saw it at Skate King in Seattle for a school field trip. The girls skated, the boys played at the arcade. We wondered why we had to fight each other at the end. Didn’t learn about the difference between the American and Japanese story until years later. It’s dated, compared to Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and The Punisher. But it’s an early game. Of course it will be. The NES was a disappointment, but the Sega version by Headgames was much closer to the arcade.
>>12308036Super Double Dragon is a GOD-TIER game. The defensive game is something we wouldn't see until Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I've never played any other 2d beat 'em up game where blocking worked so well to the game flow.Really channeling the Bruce Lee inspirations as well. Full powerup = Billy Bruce Lee Screaming
>>12308036The cartoon intro is catchy as shit. Though I hardly remember anything about, it had dudes with swords and I loved swords as a kid.
>>12312761It plays much differently than Konami, Capcom and Sega's famous brawlers. It takes a bit of getting used to but is very satisfying. Not /vr/ but DD Neon is also a very defensive game.>>12312963The cool theme song is about all it had going for it. Also I look for any excuse to post this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0wxrqQqw5Q
>>12308046>slows down even on 1 playerwhy didn't any of the devs just think "maybe we should fix this" before releasing it
>finally play this alleged masterpiece>its just super metroid but worse
>>12312769>Super Junkoid
>>12312249soma feels good to control, walks much faster than alucard
Dollars? Transylvania deals in dollars?
>>12312657Not him, but I read it and your opinion is trash. It's basically just an attempt to justify mediocre music with "muh art" and pseudo-intellectualism. SotN has some great tracks, but it also has plenty of worthless garbage/filler tracks that people ignore when they call the soundtrack "excellent" just because it has a few "bangers". Having crap like Final Toccata playing over the entire Inverted Castle is retarded, and it's even worse that it resets every time you change areas or enter a save room. What a shit track.I'd go even as far as to say that Yamane's work in that game actually sounds quite crappy and underwhelming. The sound quality has this odd, hollow character to it. The pieces with electric guitar in particular sound weak and tinny, almost as if they are lacking in bass.
>>12313039>It's basically just an attempt to justify mediocre music with "muh art" and pseudo-intellectualism.No, it's not. I made objective observations about the tracks, describing, as succinctly as I could given the format and presumed audience, what makes them good-- or at least, not what you and the other tard are claiming them to be. I could go into even more detail were it warranted, but it's not since you made no counter-argument.>"muh art"I explained in plain functional terms what the music is for in the game. This is the opposite of "muh art." The point is that the purpose of the music in the game is to reinforce the creepy, bizarre, threatening, and otherworldly atmosphere of the inverted castle.>Having crap like Final Toccata playing over the entire Inverted Castle is retardedFinale Toccata is a good piece. It's not crap.
STACKCHADS GET IN HERETetris, Panel de Pon, Magical Drop etcWhat stacker are you playing?
For me, it's Magic Jewelry II on the NES.
One of the most challenging and demanding
>>12308661Assuming you're talking about Magical Drop III, are you playing the Japanese version? The international versions make a large amount of gameplay, story, and audio changes. The Japanese version is much better.
You aren't stacking shit in Panel De Pon. Only shuffling and raising shit.Here is a REAL thinking man's stacking game.
>>12312912putting puyo puyo in a mario skin doesn't make it not shit
>UT99 is the greatest FPS experience ever. I didnt say story, half life, halo, red faction and many others all have a better story, but mechanics wise and gameplay wise nothing tops UT99
>>12312473>the novelty of vehicles.Raptors and shooting down Raptors with the Goliath in 2k4 was the fucking tits
>>12312386It's all optional and not that hard once you get the hang of it:-You can dogde to the a side while turning in the opposite direction to get a quick leap. It's pretty much the bunnyhopping motion without pressing Jump. You can do the same with forward but the double tap makes you stop, unless you're strafing.-To close big gaps, you do the mentioned move and press jump at the end to extend your time in the air. There's a couple of powerups you can get in the early SP DM ladder like this without [weapon]jumping or running over half the map.-You climb the many steep ramps in maps by dodging/double tapping towards the ramp, almost touching it. It will shoot you upwards and it can work as a shortcut.
>>12307762The mod scene for this game was unlike anything ever seen.
>>12308021ut99 has soul, but ut2k4 mogs it in content by miles
>>12310670>Coret10/10 fucking map, I played so many hours against bots and people on that map.>Running down the upstairs hallway, diving behind the corner to grab the armor>popping out right where the rocket launcher is, doubling back for the minigun+ammo or just heading forward past the ripper, heading to the side to pull the health vials before heading into the small CQC maze in the middle>punching right through the front door, running down the long hallway to the center of the enemy base and grabbing the flag>making that split second decision on if you escape back the way you came or head to higher ground and maybe grab an armor refill on the way outOf all the CTF maps, that map was the one that felt the most fair and balanced, and had the most chaos going on.
