Honestly, I don't really want to revisit this one because of Welcome to the Machine by itself. That was such an unpleasant experience and I was happy when I finally beat it and the final boss after (that pulls a Ninja Gaiden on you if you die there and forces you to do a previous hard section all over again suddenly).

I honestly never understood the appeal of this game even as a kid.

>>10942042
It's one of the best games I have ever played, but it's certainly not for everyone. Given your dishonest use of reductio ad absurdum, it's fairly obvious you started playing it with the full intention of hating it and shitting over it.
Just return to your Zeldas, Metroids and Marios and call it a day, the game will never get good from your perspective.

Why couldn't NEC make the leap to the PC-2000 and PC-XP?
>>
>>10942160
Shitpost aside, they did. They just weren't proprietary anymore as there was 0 point in doing so, though the last PC-98s did support Windows 2000 (this also has DOS/V for NTVDM). By that time they already had well moved on to the PC-98 NX line, but that PC-98 refers to Microsoft's PC System Design Guide, after that they were just another PC compatible maker.

The reason for the decline of their own proprietary standard was competitors. NEC was one of the bigger very early adopters of non-kit PCs and their first offering was just the best option, building on that gave them a massive uncompetable market share which they made sure to defend by dealing with any real threat to their business PC ecosystem.

They handled clones "better" than IBM, making it a niche market until DOS/V came about and allowed for Kanji to be stored on disk rather than special ROM chips. This introduce affordable IBM PCs in a rather expensive Japanese market and Japanese companies would make their clones, now with more compatibility with foreign software without the reliance on porting.

By this time the PC-98's graphical capabilities weren't exactly impressive for gaming and expansions cards would be needed, this was also more effort and costs than the compatibles had to deal with.
For business all you had to do was translate the application and it should mostly work for DOS/V. Of course, NEC realizes this and decides to change their standard to work nicer with foreign stuff too until it ceases being a standard. It held on strongly to the market (~50% is a lot better than IBM at that point) until Windows 95 ended the use for NEC's PC-98 standard outside of backwards compatibility.

Anon if you're extensively playing with explosives in HD, you're gonna either need defensive gear, or you'll need to become intimately familiar with each explosives shrapnel amounts and their ranges.
Not too intimate though. You don't want that shit inside you.

SEGA AGES Phantasy Star for Nintendo Switch

Yes I watched THE review and the voice acting was indeed amazing. I wish I had played it but back then it would probably have seemed too boring for me.

I read the manga but it was the continuation of the in game story... Did you play it?

It has a very theatrical stage play vibe to it.

>>10942062
It was the early days of motion cap and they really wanted to show it off, I feel.
>>
>>10942062
I remember hearing the people they motion captured were actual theatre actors, so that might be why. Of course it was a new experience for everyone involved and all that. Something about those over-exaggerated movements just rubs me the wrong way. Not creepy, but on the very edge of that slippery slope of uncanny valley.
>>
>>10942062
They hired stage actors, so it makes sense that it gives that impression.

Apostle fight was horrible because it was so cryptic but worse than that were those random enemies that targeted Koudelka specifically

This guy is one of the reasons I can't play Super Metroid randomizer as much as I'd like to. Having to fight him when you're underpowered is a bitch and a half.
>>
>>10941014
I usually have a tough time with him, but last time I played I ran him down pretty decently. Helps to flip over of the fire waves at the top corners. Then just gotta wait for the fucker to eventually show up and drop SM's into him. There's probably a better strat for normal missiles then SM to try to get him dead.

It is possible to do the fight damageless, I've never done it, but I've seen it.
>>
>>10941334
Randomizers are retarded anyways and such a stupid reason to hate a boss. Just play a new game. You're vainly trying to recapture the feeling of a fresh playthrough by playing the game in an non-optimal and unfun way as proven by this very boss.
