What is the best 2D spritework in vidya?
Arcade games in general have the best 2d graphics.And if you've never sat down with groovymame (or finalburn) running through an RGB CRT you really need to try and do it at some stage, it's mind blowingly beautiful.Doesn't have to be a broadcast monitor either, in fact a standard consumer grade TV set looks better anyway. As long as it's in RGB or Component.I think Ghouls n Ghosts is one of the most incredible looking games ever made, especially when you consider it came out in 1988. It looks unreal.
>>736279337Maybe The King of Fighters 12/13, it was so expensive to make it almost bankrupt them a second time, it was an insane commitment after a whole decade of low budget, recycled mediocrity.
i saw this recently. blew my goddamn balls off.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IstnQE-yr8o
>>736282176I've seen multiple games like this, but not something this complex looking, it genuinely looks like a convincing 3d environment.
>>736282176Soundtrack to that game is outstanding,
>early 2025>old gaming laptop died>lost so many personal files I've been accumulating over the span of almost a decade because I was too lazy and careless to back them up>sigh.mp3>I resort to using an even shittier craptop I bought on sale earlier because it's convenient, but it can't handle the demanding software I'm interested in>the prices of consumer electronics have gotten so expensive in my mind I should either go big or go home>have been meaning to upgrade and get a high-end gaming setup for years>just kept procrastinating>find out nvidia 50 series GPUs recently released>check FPS benchmarks to see how the 5090 performs>plenty of titles run below or way below 240hz average in 4k>"why do they sell these 240- and 360hz panels if the games running on the absolute best hardware can't go past 60, 90, 120, 160 etc.???"cont.
>>736280941If the SSD/HDD survived you can still pull your old files off of them though, it could just be the power supply that died.
>>736281206I got it to turn on, but I couldn't find the drive in the BIOS so according to my research that indicates it's all caused by the harddrive dying
>frogblogWHO THE FUCK CARES
>>736280463I can't tell if you're being genuine or just lying to cope with how you couldn't afford anything betteris 4k actually overrated?
>>736280315your data is most probably still on your disk you stupid faggot
What happened to Capcom? They used to be the leaders of the fighting game genre in all aspects, but now their characters don't look as good as ones from SNK games.Ingridfags are probably livid right now.
>>736277818 That sheep setup is so fake holy shit lmao Dude had 3–5 business days to react and still held forward. Actually downloaded mid-set.
>>736273232Why did they make John Streetfighter black. Jesus he's so ugly in these trailers.
>>736277413One of these days I'll practice my FRCs
>>736281946>Why did they make John Streetfighter black.You know why.
>>736277413This character is really fun. I think she might be my gateway into playing grapplers.
Was it good?
don't know, haven't played it
By default mobas are all shit but at least it gave us Sin and Valentine
>>736280990>at least it gave us SinThat was among the top 3 worst things it did contentwise.
>>736280845Honestly yesIt was way too ambitious as fuck but as a MOBA+RTS+MUSOU+FIGHTING GAME it surprisingly works pretty well. It shipped pretty feature complete too.I think another iteration of this could've been pretty fucking good if they fixed some annoying aspects of it
Also I don't know if people are even aware that it was ported to Steam years ago https://store.steampowered.com/app/437000/GUILTY_GEAR_2_OVERTURE/
>>736281558Heee...ha-choo!~
>>736281879>taking Tekken's story seriouslyshame on you
>>736281879Because Bamco decided that marketable waifu Heihachi is not enough, and doubling down with actual real Heihachi in DLC would bring them maximum profit.
>>736281879MK failed miserably when they tried that with Liu Kang
>>736281879there's no story without heihachi and harada wanted to keep his guinness world record
CURRENT BLAST STATUS: HAVING
add this weapon into the game please
20 minutes later it finally died.
>>736217269>Why do people care about balance in single player games?Because unbalanced games are less fun, unless it goes so far to the extreme and build the entire game around being OP vs OP things I suppose. Imagine you had a moveset and 50% of the skills were genuinely useless past the halfway point of the game, 25% of them had only very niche uses, 20% were just kind of okay and 5% of them instantly killed every single encounter in the game with a single input. You might disagree on whether you should nerf the strong skills, buff the weaker ones, nerf the enemies, buff everything and so on to bring everything in line. However what you want in an action game is at least a general strength bracket that every option falls under, even if Meteor is still stronger. For the same reason you don't want a fighting game character who has a win rate of 100%.
>>736278432Why even hide your username, anon? It's not like I can't just get to it through your pawn's ID
>>736282273You'll only get it if you actually go in and play the game.Respect anon's wish to not reveal himself to the 3rd worlders here.
>Meanwhile, at gun shop Kendo...
DON'T SHOOT! I'M A HUMAN>>736279582Despite all the flaws, I enjoyed playing as Rebecca. It still has the RE1R DNA and RE1R is good.CV is the last one for me to play too. It seems even more flawed and frustrating.
>>736279582i've stopped playing after the train crashit just didn't click with me like RE1RE did
>>736279684I've gotten decently far into veronica before but always lose interest soon after clair leaves the prison.The area after that gets kinda annoying and looks really bland.

Liking this character in 2026 is hell
I think Peach should look something like this.
>>736281978This is usually a Daisy redesign
>>736281072>It's mostly her emotional range that's off. And I think the problem hits Mario tooI agree. I understand they changed some things to adapt it more easily for the movies and stuff, but the personalities aren't really corresponding to the ones they have in the game very well, so it is perfectly understandable that people find it weird.Peach did participate on the action in many games, even on older ones, but she was never shown as this angry-looking girl, like she is in the movies. I really feel like they should focus on her sweet side more.But we all know this won't happen, unfortunately.
Did they fix Rosalina's voice in Mario Wonder NS2? iirc in MKW she was literally just blue Peach. Even more than usual
>>736278376Rosalina is the older sister, so pictured is a needy younger sister desperate to reconnect with her long lost big sis, a big sis who doesn't want to give into her advances, but is losing the will to resist.
Wesker is the best character of RE and I'll die one this hill. You just can't beat the Matrix Nazi.
>>736282208Maybe it has something to do with the nu-gen version being incompatible with your system? Try going to properties and selecting the older patch.
>>736282208sounds like a skill issue. maybe get a better pc?
I'm a committed Barrycel.
>>736282238>Maybe it has something to do with the nu-gen version being incompatible with your system?but I remember playing it back in 2019....
>>736282414They changed the game in 2023 or something to be dx12 and ray tracing.
Some of you zoomies don't know this, but hard games were invented by arcades in order to steal difficulty from children. They have no artistic value whatsoever, they are purely a monetary and financial decision. No game should be hard EVER.
>>736273927true, but some people want the feeling of artificial achievement - all games do that, but "hard" games trigger the addict mechanism & people fall for it.
being young>i need to prove myself>i love clicking buttons like a spastic>hard mode is a fun challengebeing old>i just want to game, for god's sake>please not too much button pressing, my fingers hurt>easy mode is where it's at
>>736273927Hey millennial, don't you have some therapy to attend to?
>>736282223Why not just read a book or watch movie. Sounds like very boring to play a game that does not require anything from you other than the ability to press a button
What happened here?>characters are slightly worse>plot is slightly less interesting>puzzles are a tad less worse>location is a bit less memorable>story is slightly less engaging>mechanics are slightly less reasonableIt feels like they went form a solid game with 999 and took every aspect of it down in quality a little bit.Like it's not awful but everything just screams "the concepts we had laying around after the last game".
>>736280542>Characters are significantly better>Plot is much more interesting>Puzzles are infinitely better, it's not even comparable>Location is less memorable but individual rooms are much more memorable>Story starts out slower but gets a lot more engaging eventuallyFTFY.Not sure whether you are talking about gameplay mechanics or story mechanics; VLR definitely wins on the game side (flowchart vs. having to do the exact same puzzles half a dozen times); on the story side, both are about equally unreasonable but at least VLR is upfront about it.
The best puzzle game ever made. Yeah, 999 has a better story but it was way too easy. VLR is midwit filter kino.
>>736280542Oh man, just wait until the 3rd game
>>736280542>puzzles are a tad less worseI don't think you've played either game if you say this. 999 puzzles are the most basic shit, VLR's are a massive improvement.
The only real core issue with it is that the map overlay doesn't have labels and you can't look at it unless Sigma is moving around, meaning you never really internalize where every facility is meaning you feel less connection to the location. If they'd just put some labels on the rooms on the map a lot of the issue people had with the setting would probably go away.

>>736277375i love sakura and i actually played her animetic story game
>>736272781Damn, even Atlus included token 3D features.
>>736276361tl;dr:>buggy, rushed, unfinished compilation of puzzles from two very successful FMV games (7th Guest and 11th Hour) that got panned by game reviewers several months before it actually hit the shelves>it was supposed to drop concurrently with the reviews, but Trilobyte (the company) self-published the game and could only send it to specific big box stores in the US and UK, this would've not been an issue had they not been in the red and their money tied up in Tender Loving Care>they only had two people with no experience trying to draft contracts to sell copies of this game, something that their previous publisher, Virgin, handled along with the marketing, but they fell out because Virgin wanted more control over the development process because of how long it took to develop 11th Hour
>>736275686Same, I was surprised to see how it was critically panned
why are fairies brown?
>>736280373I kinda think top left should be "hey check out how hard i can brave".
>>736280756Font's arial btw
>>736270235>>736264249How can you achieve this kind of perfect chiseled Strong Form?
>>736275467You probably should have noticed no solution in the game was that tedious. And that after a single round button busy fairy is eaten, the platform under the goal disappears. But whatever. Congrats on getting the achievement. That could have been a huge waste of time for you.

Did you know you can just play 2000s games forever? Did you know that was an option?
>aquajeet is still derailing threads>it still worksThere is actually no soul resembling old /v/ anymore on this shithole.
>>736276623There's actually been a quite a few takes on such a style of game over the years, some of which are strict improvements, even if in some cases it's just modernizing the game by expanding the options for control and uncapping the framerate
>>736282005This is a bait thread you dumbfuck what do you expect
>>736275140Don't forget about recent translation patches for older games

Halo 2's campaign unironically has one of the best storylines and best-written dialogue in vidya history.
>>736270207in all fairness they walked that back by 3 so the ring also kills the flood directly, just kills everything with a complex nervous system as collateral, as for why it was pretty much a case of they exhausted every other possible option so it was just better to preserve some and just nuke everything to start over again in meta terms its perfect for it being an allegory to noahs ark
>>736275994I never understood why it was Rtas Vadum to mediate between the Prophets and the CouncilOr why he suddenly became a Shipamaster in H3
>>736268951I liked CE better, overall.
Every 10/10 game was rushed.A delayed game is eventually mediocore, a rushed game is always good.
Based OP>>736270040But Halo 2 has the most responsive and tight feeling core gameplay in the series after Halo 5 and maybe Infinite>>736270146How are you defining "gameplay" here?>>>736270407As opposed to CE where every level is is the same repeated hallways and rooms over and over?Never understood the shit H2's levels got, in response to you and >>736272796. Cairo Station, Outskirts, Metropolis, Delta Halo, Regret, Gravemind, Uprising, and Great Journey are all 8/10 missions or better, it's got the highest quantity of them of any Halo game>>736271103The atmosphere and soundtrack is elder god tier, mostly. I'd argue the levels are also about as good as 3's which DESU weren't that amazing outside of the The Ark and The Covenant. The weapon balancing is also a bit better thanks to no BR and minor tuning other weapons gotComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
What I learned in gerudo school is....
This game would have been better without the awful wii motion controls
>>736275907I can admit the game is kinda bad, at least when it comes to controls and polish, but it left a really good impression on me. One of those kinds of games you'll never get again b/c it was such a product of its time.
>>736272565SE designed some of the hottest female characters in this game
>>736280027This
>>736272565I remember playing this game hoping I could do some cool Final Fantasy shit like cast meteors or summon dragons but I spent the entire time using telekinesis and throwing props at enemies. Like playing HL2 except you only had the gravity gun
>>736281832Yea that's what the game is. There's a ton of interactions between the objects and sims-lite npcs tho
