David Cage needs to shut down his studio and start working as a writer-for-hire doing contract work instead.
Fahrenheit has the single best opening hour in video game history but the rest of the game is complete fucking garbage.
What Cage needs to do is get contracted by other studios to write and design a demo for a video game and then let the studio hire someone else to actually finish writing and turn it into a final product.

Shadow of the Comet ? It’s hard (harder than GK1), with plenty of dead ends, time constrained puzzles and stuff you will miss.
Its sequel Prisoner of Ice had the exact inverse problem : almost zero difficulty.

The comics adaptions were pretty good though.

>>10917246
Just skip work every other day if you can't manage it. Also entry level jobs drain your needs slower so you've got more time to improve skills after work. Couple that with a 9-3 job and you've got plenty of time left in a day to get skills and friends.

Most of the sites here still work:
https://pleasantsims.com/active-sims-1-sites/
There was also a pack on /tsg/ (https://rentry.org/tsg) some time ago that had bunch of items. \odd_prude\odd_prude caused crashing for me so I got rid of that one. There's also bunch of skins that are supposed to go to a different folder but you will have to go through the folder manually. Most of it works when put in the downloads folder though.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/yorie3ou4yji8i4/Downloads.rar/file
There's also this, but you either have to download a pack and hope it contains some images and info or use google, which can be tricky since most sims 1 sites are long dead now:

It had four successful games, ND did some planning for a fifth one, decided they wanted to make something else, and then later did some planning for a new game again and decided they wanted to make something else.
Just be glad it didn't milk itself to shit and lost its identity five times over like Ratchet.
Also, Jak 2 is by far the best game and asks the most of the player's ability. Jak 1 is piss easy and Jak 3 was designed by incompetents.

Fuck it looks cool. One day hopefully. Didn't the 95' build get dumped a little while ago?

What is your opinion of this feature being mostly gone/relegated to MMOs/Gacha games?
Did you change the MC name in games that allowed it?
Do you think this feature being gone for the sake of voice acting was a good desicion?
I personally love giving MCs my name. Makes me feel more inmersed and makes me mad when you have a retro RPG but without this feature (Even in games with no VA). Make them feel soulless.

I always go for the default names.
The only time I ever changed the protagonist name was when I was a little kid playing FF7, and I immediately got confused as to why they were spelling it as Jessie with an i afterwards, and I reset the game and left it as Cloud.
>>
>>10937947
If it's supposed to be a self insert I name them my name. If it's supposed to be a character then I use the default name.
>>
If I can name the character 90% of the time I go for the official / canon name, then I get annoyed if the name is fixed due to the voice acting. I don't understand myself yet.

Replays are a different thing. Last time I played FFVII, Murdock and B.A. Baracus were bombing a reactor. I wanted to leave Murdock for Cid (because of the pilot thing), but insanity and PTSD fitted Cloud better.

Why the hell were these two optional? It serves no purpose because getting them feels so natural and being able to bypass their recruitment only screws up the game since now they can't do a whole lot in the story or appear in the FMVs. There's not even anything particularly "special" about them. It's not like Gogo in FFVI or Magus in Chrono Trigger.

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.

Is?

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
