I love arcade games. I love the feeling of sliding a ridged, silver quarter into a tight slotI need my games to be like my dick, short and hardI love one credit clearsI love accurate emulation with zero input lagI love beat em upsI love shoot em upsI love run n gunsI love light gun gamesI love rail shootersI love fighting gamesI love racing gamesI love rhythm gamesI love jumping gamesI love maze gamesWhat's your favorite arcade game?
>>730042696Based OP>What's your favorite arcade game?Hard to pick only one, but I will go with what I'm enjoying recently even if it's probably not what I would call an all-time favorite. If anything because it deserves more visibility.
>>730043084>Money Puzzle Exchanger mentioned
>>730043491It's so kino
Sega Model 2 games (mostly) work in MAME now.In case you weren't aware.
I like beat 'em ups. A lot. Specifically Capcom ones. Also go play R-Type Leo, it's overlooked
My dream what-if scenario is Sega releasing a home arcade machine as a premium product. Full sized using one of the monitors from Arcooda.

>>730044212Ok but parodius?
>>730042696>I love shoot em ups
>>730043841>lists four capcom beat em ups>not a single capcom fighting gameI like your style
>>730044212Darius
I do not want to do anything illegal here. But I would kill somebody...in front of their own mama...to get a Daytona USA cabinet.
>>730042696Holy fucking based. Pic related is all the games I got to play when I was in Tokyo back in November.>What's your favorite arcade game?Too many to list but lately I've been into Taito's Ray series (RayStorm is my favorite but RayForce has incredible sprites and RayCrisis has a crazy OST). Overall I like beat-em-ups and rail shooters the most though, I love Capcom's 90s output and the After Burner series.
>>730045469It works in MAME now.
>>730045749God I wanna try that Golgo 13 cabinet.
>>730042696stuck with a bunch of clown coins since my local arcade shut down
>>730042696>go to Japan>"hell yeah, fighting games, I love those">realize I can't play with a stick, only gamepad or hitboxStill it was hella fun. If I go there again I'll try to learn to 1cc shmups at home first so I don't spend 2000 yen in one hour.
>>730046096It's a genius mix of Silent Scope and Point Blank where you have to complete really quick jobs of all sorts that have real manga panels setting up the scenario beforehand. It's technically a bit light on the gameplay but the presentation makes it worth it, I love Eighting's light gun games (Ghoul Panic is one of them too) which are underrated compared to their shmup & fighter output. Definitely better than the Lupin game I played that is a pretty standard light gun game outside of the art style matching the series pretty well. >>730045167Love this one. I think I might slightly prefer RayStorm because I love the target painting mechanic but Darius Gaiden is way up there; I'm not very good at shmups at all but I've gotten my credit count for both low by my standards (DG I've beaten with 3 or 4 credits, RayStorm I've gotten down to 8 or 9 when my first run was 19). I need to finally get around to Dariusburst Chronicle Saviors.
>>730046851Before I die, I need to visit a Japanese arcade and 1cc some random game I already did at home only for the sake of.
bump
The House of the Dead, Gunblade NY and Daytona USA, now that's peak SEGA Model 2 games.
>>730046851feel i recognize that pic, what city? Is that mikado in osaka?
>>730043680Man i have not touched mame for 10 or so years when i wanted to boot up some punisher and aero fighters,where do i get all the updated new stuff
>>730049574Pleasuredome and Myrient
cant' wait to get a taito egret for my placeproblem is that pcbs are getting so fucking expansive /v/ros...who's collecting some here? which games do you have?
>Capcom owns the rights to the game>Original creator still has comic rights>Like three different media companies had their hands in on the cartoon>Cadillac is a trademark of General MotorsLicensing Hell
IIDX forever. I hope the new Pop'n does well enough that it keeps people playing. Idol Money Exchanger is a good game. Galloping Ghost needs to find a way to have players track progress rather than having us take pictures of things as the only way to record plays.
>>730049936I'd rather AvP leave licensing hell than C&D if only because it's very obvious that Capcom loves Linn Kurosawa and would've put her in a bunch of shit if they could (they literally tried to put her in CvS2 and were told no which is why Maki's in there instead).
>>730042696Youve never been to an arcade. You know how i know? You glaze the absolute hell out of them. Look, theyre just absolute shit holes we tolerated to play games that either werent on nintendo or sega yet or werent good enough at home. But in present day, theres no reason to give a shit about them. Hasnt been for about the last 30 years.And before you start typin some shit about artwork, I dont care about side art, its squished between cabs and i want play not gawk at cabs. Nobody gives a fuck
>>730051782Exactly one line of the OP is about physical cabs and the rest are about the games or emulation, and half the thread is talking about wanting to own cabs for their home. Kindly fuck off or post about a game you like.
>>730052154I like pac man. Fuck off zoomer
>>730052154Is this from that Fist of the North Star game?
>>730045749Which gaysen did you visit? I've only ever been to HEY and Mikado. Mostly just played mushi, metal slug and virtual on
>>730042696You probably already do this but get fightcade 2 and then get the json script to download any game you don't have whenever you enter a lobbyAlso my favorites are Street Fighter 3 and cruising USA
>>730042696>What's your favorite arcade game?IIDX
I was in Japan last week and everyone was playing this gundam fighting game infinity boost 2it was fun as hellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aktyjyA_z5g
What's the latest Emulator for arcades? Is it still MAME?
>>730042696I love side scrollers mostly.Ghouls n GhostsBlack TigerElevator Action ReturnsBlue's JourneyTop HunterShadow DancerMystic WarriorsGrowlWardnerStuff like that...
>>730053710FBNeo for a lot of games now.
>>730053485I've never played any of these and always feel to intimidated to try it, is it intuitive at all? There was one of these released for consoles right? How's emulation?
>>730051618boggles my mind that they went to the trouble of getting the Tenchi wo Kurau license from shueisha for warriors of fate but couldn't bother to hit up disney for AvPLike bro they hand out the alien license to anyone with a pulse
>>730042696geki, waccer, my my, cuni
>>730042696I miss Time Crisis. Why hasn't Namco sold a collection?
>>730053838>FBNeoGood! I hated the fact that I had to switch to different versions just to play that one game because the newer version don't support it!
>>730053991it's basically a fighting game,except instead of punch/kick/jump it's shoot/slash/boost and you can combine inputs for special movesif you've played something like armored core or dbz budokai it's like that
>>730053991PSP game (Gundam Vs. Gundam Next) can be emulatedPS4 has Gundam Extreme VsThe actual arcade version of the latest entry EX Vs 2 can be played on PC with a whole bunch of workaroundsIf you play EX VS online you WILL get destroyed by tryhards
>>730054758Fuck me, another reason to pick up a PS4. I've been eying getting a used one to play M2 ports and a few other games.
>>730042696If I see a Point Blank cab I will fucking SPRINT to it.
>>730049574>punisher and aero fightersWhen did I get cloned?
>>730051618>I'd rather AvP leave licensing hellThey did license it for a plug and play arcade mini console a couple years ago. It's just way easier logistically to do that for a one and done product than to keep reupping a license in the age of perpetual digital games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPzyjWm-G1I
>acquire real hardware>high scores don't save>think that a battery or chip needs replacing>nope, the game just doesn't support saving high scores>...despite supporting saving game settings>and the high score board itself having 50 SLOTSI thought this shit was supposed to be top of the line, wtf capcom how did you let snk outplay you with such a basic feature>>730055954It's not that capcom got the AvP license, it's that Koch Media, the manufacturer for that plug n play, got the alien/predator property license from disney alongside the game license from capcom
>>730052851Yeah. I just picked a random arcade background I had saved but man that's a nice one. I love the sense of vertical depth some fighters had with their stages; not common but it's always gorgeous. SF3 NewGen & 2nd Impact have it, but Third Strike scaled back the stages somewhat and put the focus into the new character sprites.>>730053015We hit up several (I was with a friend) so I couldn't name them all, but outside of like three different buildings in Akihabara we hit up the Taito Arcade, a few GiGOs, the Bamco arcade (where I played Extreme Versus 2 and Goldstorm Pirates), and the mall in Odaiba next to the Gundam Unicorn statue.
>>730042696Any arcade vidya recommendations?Been trying a few ones but i want to hear what you guys have to say
>>730059224That's a pretty broad topic, do you have any preferences to go off of? Otherwise, play Capcom's beat-em-ups & Taito's shmups. Those are all classics that'll keep you busy for a while even if you credit feed (but trust me, even if you don't think you can 1CC, trying to lower your credit count is super rewarding).
>>730059631I do like racing and shmups, but anything goes
>>730044212https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLldySmerpw>>730046096I have played it at, probably the only cabinet they ever had in the US. That is an OPTICAL scope, and you need a proper cheek weld stance. The screen itself gives some digital zoom on some levels, and some of the levels require peripheral vision. Also, the standards for the level require Golgo 13's inhuman standards for precision. EG, you lose "life" reputation points for fatal center chest shots.My favorite levels are the one where you when you need to kill a water skier, and the one where you kill someone in the woods WITHOUT leaving any bullet wounds in them. If you ever get a chance, it's a must play. >>730046871Yeah. Silent scope goes with the LCD scope screen and LCD on the monitor on bone eater. Point blank is more traditional. This goes with the manga vibe, and the entire "PRESSURE'S FUCKING ON. MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE SHOT. OR DIE". "DEFUSE A MINEFIELD WITH YOUR SNIPER RIFLE, THEN STOP THE CHOPPER".
>>730053991play the VS games first. >>730054758I played Virtual on OT. My mind is already newtype. They can win but they can't destroy me.
>>730059224Get your ass to Round 1 if you can.
>>730060527>racing and shmupsBoy oh boy do I have a game for you to try.
>>730057215Alpha 2, New Gen, 2nd Impact, Red Earth & MvC1 are the best when it comes backgrounds for Capcom 2d Fighters
>>730063067Red Earth is so fucking cool man. Just learned today that my fucking boy Blade is getting modded into Marvel 3. One of Capcom's best designs ever.
>>730063067>>730064116Oh and>MvC1That shit was causing CPS2 to burst at the seams, insane they got the detail they did in that game even with the smallish roster.
>a whole 60 posts in >not a single schizo>not a single e-celeb postV IS HEALING
>>730064116Teppen is awesome just for the fun they have with the various IPs
>>730064627Arcade gaming is too irrelevant to grab that kind of attention on /v/.If you make this thread on /vr/, it'll just get bumped off the catalog once the Sega System schizo makes his 50 threads for the day.
>>730065616Arcade threads used to be prime shitposting material for some e-celeb called Mork and all discussion ceased
>>730064213Power Fighters had some decent spritework as well
>>730065589Their most recent (and final, RIP) set has fucking SonSon (as in the original) and Gaist Crusher. They snuck in fucking everything they could. Wish I kept up with it longer, I liked the gameplay a lot. There's an offline version coming for a limited period but I don't know if it'll be worth it to translate my years-out-of-date card collection to it unless the grind is completely removed.I'll always have the fond memories of my Machine-Tribal green deck designed to turbo out Tadakatsu.
>>730065589The cover of Devil Trigger is pretty prime. I'll have to look and see if there's any music from the last couple of years I missed out on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrIYKvkQUpc
>>730065848>>730065846Teppen is kinda like Pocket Fighter. Just a celebration of ALL of Capcom.
>>730065848Holy shit, I forgot they added fucking Bass.EXE from BN.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf0Lt3adUoI
>>730066237I wish OG Bass got more love
>>730066237Hiryu, Wright, Iris, BoF Nina, Juri, Cammy, and Vergil got full skins too. Only just now learned that they added specifically Felicia cosplaying Nerg as a skin for Nerg.
>>730066916>A fucking card game gets more alt skins than SF6
>>730066801He needs to be relevant in his own games again first. Hope Dual Override doesn't bury him and Proto Man like 11 did.
>>730067045It got like 12 or so non-recolor skins in six years, it's one of the few games that can't point and laugh at SF6 in that regard.
>>730067383Oh. My mistake then
>>730042696I can't pick a favorite honestly, I love all types but I usually gravitate toward fighting and light gun. Playing bubble bobble right now, shit's always comfy.
>>730067051Same, I wanted another Bass boss fight/playable Bass & Proto
>>730051618AvP will eventually escape licensing Hell just like The Punisher Arcade did. The tragedy of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is that it has no chance. It is lost in a deep, dark abyss and will forever be known as 'that dinosaur beat em up that Brazilians love'.
>>730067709I could never quite get into Bubble Bobble but I do want to try more single-screen action games like that. Snow Bros, Tumble Pop and Nightmare in the Dark seem like the ones to try.
I want a Sega Arcade racing collection
Magical Drop > Money Idol Exchanger
>>730068285Isn't that like 100 fucking games?
The Punisher is a character action game.
>>730068261Punisher had the advantage of being a fun bonus for a Marvel vs. Capcom collection, which is a license always worth renewing.AvP, what are you going to do? Release it on its own? Put it in a collection of Capcom arcade games you'll have to delist when you don't feel like renewing?>>730068385Hideki Kamiya called DMC a Stylish Action game, which I think is a much better, more descriptive name for the genre. Character Action tells you nothing, and only gained traction by being the phrase of choice for ecelebs.
>>730068385>>730068845I've come to dislike trying to section off action games like that in general. Sure, separate ARPGs and Musous and side-scrolling beat-em-ups due to very clear systemic/structural differences, but what most people attribute to character/stylish/spectacle/whatever-action is pretty arbitrary. Just assess the combat system on its own merits. "Stylish Action" might work if you limit it to DMC & Bayo (Kamiya's works) and only games that pull very heavily from their design and scoring (W101, Assault Spy, Ghost Rider PS2, etc.) but that's still not the clearest line to draw.Even DMC1 wasn't made in a vacuum. Its juggle combos only exist because of Onimusha. The use of guns & melee combat in fixed-camera rooms with a scoring system that rewards consistency existed in Dino Crisis 2. The collection of currency from enemies used to purchase new moves and small upgrades between stages is straight out of Battle Circuit (and arguably the D&D beat-em-ups).
Went to Round 1 for the first time recently and was amazed at the selection for a state-side arcade. People weren't hogging the DDR machines and I was shocked that most of the people playing were boomers. Guess time flies.
My favorite game is Progear. I like most CAVE shmups, but Progear is my favorite by a long shot. It's the only game I have 1cc'd. I play it on a MiSTercade in my Blast City.
>>730069523I know this photo wasn't taken back in the day because the tires on Abigail's arms were an SFV addition to his design. That said, still extremely based.>only game I have 1cc'dPersonally the only games I've pulled off 1cc-level runs on are ironically non-arcade games. Mostly old console games and indies that are arcade-style, but nothing that was coin-op. I did manage Mighty Final Fight 1ccs with both Cody & Haggar though, whereas in Final Fight 3 it was just Haggar.
>>730042696who cares? daigo sucks now
Play Battle Circuit
>>730068305I've been playing Magical Drop 3 a lot recently, but I might actually prefer playing on console. My left wrist gets tired when playing on a cab.>>730069734It was taken last year. It looks old because it was taken on an instant print film camera. A Fujifilm SQ6, to be specific. I had to look up Mighty Final Fight. Seems cool. I need to play more beat em ups.
>>730070526>I had to look up Mighty Final Fight. Seems cool.They really put in the work to make it worthwhile instead of just a demake of FF1. They lean into the more cartoonish visuals, rework stages, and replace the usual scoring system with an XP bar that increases based on the attack that defeats an enemy (rewarding riskier plays) and unlocks an additional move on higher levels. It's tough but a 1cc is very doable with some pattern knowledge and good performance on the two bonus games.
>>730068845AvP, C&D & D&D 4 in one pack
>>730047010>I need to visit a Japanese arcadefuck off its full
>>730070696Chronicles of Mystara is still being sold so I wouldn't count D&D part of that.
>>730070696And Willow
>>730069328It seems, in a odd way, some Capcom games have this weird throughine. Multiple IPs come from either Street Fighter 1 or Resident Evil 1.
>>730042696Groove Coaster 3 Link Fever
>>730071158RING OF DESTRUCTION
>>730070901That release is so ancient that it was on the Wii U eshop. I could see Capcom wanting a new version they can add to modern console stores.
Why is this game so fucking hard? I'm having to turn-cancel my attack strings into infinites, enemies have lots of health. First boss is pure bullshit unless you know you can use your desperation move as a dodge that won't drain health if it doesn't hit anything.
>>730072510Why would you even play a game that is known for being shovelware kusoge? I don't get zoomers
>>730072651The sprite work is really good actually. And the anime style attack cutscenes are neat. It's a little janky but it's not bad.
why are arcades either places filled to the brim with raw thrills crap or places with all the stuff rhythm players play why is there no inbetween
What is the name for those japanese arcade cabinets in OP's pic?
>>730072651They play "aesthetic" games to be cool, and play shitty games to be ironic, and sometimes they just mistakenly think we like SHITE like this so they force themselves to like it, so they can larp as us. It happens so often, ive coined the term zoomer revisionism to describe it. Feel free to use it as you see fit
>>730053991starward is a straight clone of exvs gameplay with many characters that are almost 1:1 with their gundam counterpart. the caveat being that it is a chinese gacha game. if you do try it, i highly reccomend switching to the jp/asia servers as almost no one plays on the na ones. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aZady08bwXchttps://youtu.be/_FojOXEYHlI?t=213
I NEED THE LE AESTHETIC CABYet another case of performative zoomer nostalgia you didnt grow up playing these fucking things, no one outside of asia did. They dont even have art the sole purpose in them is the utility they offer in nip sweatshop arcades lmao in america we have these too theyre called kit cabs and theyre lame. Nobody back in the day wanted to play their favorite game in some conversion / dynamo cab, they wanted to play it in the dedicated cab. Otherwise, its just a box designed to keep lil tyrone from running off with the arcade operators cash
>>730073624Or vandalising the delicate electronics inside the cabinet but yeah, candy cabs are a joke.
>>730073078candy cabs
I had a candy cab but i couldnt find anyone to fix it so i junked it.
>>730054758also if you do get a ps4, mbon still gets 1-2 lobbies at peak hours and still has a decently large japanese playerbase. ps4 also has the virtual on masterpiece collection which is pretty much the definitive way to play those games
>wall to wall storm trooper lookin ass cabsEugh, how dystopian
>>730073031That's what brings in the money evidently. Granted sometimes Raw Thrills puts out something fun.>>730073078>>730073078These lose their luster once you actually visit Japan and see a huge line of them all playing different games; it doesn't have the appeal of American arcades with dedicated cabs.
>>730072823>>730072510Poor ex-Toaplan devs made this after they went bankrupt which is why it's decent, but they definitely rushed this shit out. You can't see this ending unless you go into the debug menu, if you actually clear it you just go straight to credits then title screen
>>730073807Wait, Virtual On is on PSN?!
>>730073883Exactly. As a former candy ownerInitial reaction: THIS CAB CAN BE ANYTHING!!!!After owning a cab for a while: this cab can be anything...Its soulless, literally. Back in japan it was probably a mahjong or something its entire life or who knows what. It isnt the same as owning a dedicated woody. You buy an american cab, that cab is the game. A japanese cab... is just a box.
The whole candy cab soft uwu aesthetic is so... soi. It lacks additude. Feels likes its made for small children and women.
>looking for a new arcade compilation>ask dev if it's laggy or artifact-y>they don't understand>I pull out illustrated diagram explaing what is laggy and what is artifact-y>he laughs and says "it's a good compilation sir">buy it>it's laggy
>>730075175OK mork
>>730074385yes i think it might've been a jp only release though. but so is most m2 stuff
>>730075484Damn. Also ExArcadia seems kinda scummy having arcade only updates/sequels to shit like Breakers & Chaos Code.
I'm glad I live in one of the few American cities that still has multiple arcades. I've been spending the past 4 years working on my 1ccs.I'm probably going to take a break once I finally get L.A. Machineguns finished
>>730075175Don't buy Cowabunga Collection.
I'm big into light guns. I'm still waiting for a decent way to play Silent Scope at home, at this point I guess I'm just waiting for Xbox emulation to get good enough because that's the only version with light gun support. Maybe in 20 years someone will finally emulate the cabinets and I can just mount an LCD screen in a scope to a positional gun.
>>730074640Candy cabs are great because of that, though. You can run any game on them. The good ones even let you tate the monitor with a single person.Is a dedicated cab better? Sure, if you only want to play one game on it.
>>730075837Surprised more people don't make a custom MVS cabinet for multiple games
>>730076307If you could put multiple game boards in a cabinet, people wouldve done it by now.
>>730075593all my homies hate ExArcadia but you can buy psn jp stuff anon. you just need to create a jp account
>>730076781Thanks for the tip
Cabinet design is art
What's that NEVER EVER you wish would get a modern port /v/?
>>730077715pic unrelated?
>>730078137
>>730078375Incorrect
Street Fighter 1 sucks and the pressure sensitive buttons on the deluxe cab were a bad ideaBut man look at it
>>730042696>What's your favorite arcade game?Espgaluda.And here's my arcade game 3x3 for the hell of it.
>>730078137Kaiser Knuckle/Dan-Ku-Ga
>>730078878>TatsunokoFuck yes, give it another chance. It'll totally build a thriving community this time, please believe.
>>730043084All that beautiful cure art for some shitty puzzle game
>>730079097>Money Puzzle Exchanger>bad by any stretch of the imaginationI think the shitty thing here might be you, anon.
Yeah I love arcade games. This is how I discovered ActRaiser.
>>730079697How does Actraiser work in one of those setups?Did they actually adapt the ROM to it at all, or is it just the regular cart with an arbitrary timer per quarter?
>>730079071Which one? I have both Wii versions. Got the Japanese one for cheap, after already having the US version of Ultimate All-Stars, because I wanted the theme music that plays whenever you tag characters, just like it was when I played it at Galloping Ghost.
>>730079883It was time based, one credit got you five minutes or something. They were advertisements for the home console more than anything else.
>>730079071We need a port of TvC that has all the content in one release.
>>730080367Copyright hell. Maybe someone will mod the Wii versions to achieve that end, though.
I need more good beat em ups to 1cc that aren't made by Capcom. I didn't care for Konami's X-Men or Simpsons. Turtles in Time is good but it's better on the console.
>>730080440Die Hard ArcadeDynamite Cop
Jesus CHRIST
>>730079097And music, and gameplay mechanics.The only things you can bash Money Idol for are the lack of originality(the main girl is obviously ripping off Sailor Moon, the gameplay is a mix of magical drop and another puzzle game with cats and the coin exchange mechanic) and character balance(pretty much anyone who is even a little serious about PvP will only do mirror matches, because some garbage patterns are free chains compared to others)
>>730076781I too hate that the Samurai Pizza Cats DLC is trapped in ExArcadia hell. Doubly so when a SPC game was announced last year, which would be the perfect fucking time for those retards to drum up sales.
>>730080595Not the first devs to look at Streets of Rage 4 and say "oh yeah, we can do that too, I think."
>>730056415you're supposed to leave it running 24/7. thats why george had trouble saving his frogger score in seinfeld
i like borgir time
>>730081031You can feel the soul
>>730080906Night Slashers had really good sprite work too. I don't even know how the remake plays but there's no reason for me to not play the original instead. I don't even care about the Fighters History chick, I only use Jake anyway..
This was the only game at my theater "arcade" that wasn't just a large mobile game. So I tried it but holy fuck it was loud as hell. Like ear piercing loud and I actually just stepped away from it without even finishing itI know it's horror but why do these retards crank up the volume to basically max to where it's unplayable
>>730042696>>730069749I don't know why he fell off like that, legacy unc with experience losing to zoom-core broccol- heads. Heard he likes to drink alchohol too.
>>730043664>>730043491>Money Puzzle Exchanger mentionedThere was a guy in the local scene who liked this game and always talked about it, he was also a 'chancer' and scammer. . .so people called him Money Puzzle Exchanger.
>>730081097NGL, that is a damn good looking burger in the background.
>>730082123>Heard he likes to drink alchohol toolikes is an understatementhe's basically an alcoholic and half the time you see him outside a tournament on cam he's shitfaced
>>730082215kek, should have called him with the original game name then.I prefer "Money Idol Exchanger" because it's supposed to be the full name of the heroine's magical girl alter ego.>tfw I just realized the cat in the manga is a reference to the game they borrowed the coin exchange mechanic from
>>730055325>Aero FightersIsn't there like a recent new entry against all odds? I see zero mention of it anywhere though.

>>730061613I fucking love this game. I have it for Saturn.
>>730053485pretty based anonI'd love to go to Japan and play EXVS myself
>>730073742Impressive quality pic for late 90's?That same pic can exist now, but the only clue telling me otherwise is the ashtray on the cab. Health and safety laws still let them (even China had to observe changes) but that changed in the very early 2000's or late 90's . . .The other clues all can be from that period too. High quality camera, with a flash, Sammy had games in 90's iirc. Raiden Fighters Jet 1998. . . Captain Commando 1991.I remember people had taken pictures of people sleeping at their local arcade for the lolz.
>>730082312All the pics I see of him start to make sense.Takes a lot of pics at bars and resaurants too with a drink nearby or in hand.It's joever. I bet even Kuroda looks better than him now.

>>730057215the biggest sin of CVS2 and MVC2 was having those shit 3d backgrounds instead of sprite backgrounds.
>>730078450That looks kinda bad desu. Pinball is where it's at
I wish arcades were still a thing. They kind of are but it's not the same. Most of them shut down and the ones that didn't are just shit games and claw machines and they all cost way too much. I still remember the one in West Edmonton Mall, it was right by the food court, me and my grandma would go "in to town" for the day and walk around while she bought whatever at Sears and The Bay sometimes. She'd get us some food, and some of that blue pepsi (that I wish I could try again cause I remember it being awesome)Seeing all the neon lights flashing through the window while we ate and shit, they had those water arches that went over the walkways. It was just so fucking cool, they don't really make stuff like that anymore, everything is all minimalist and bleak looking in there now. Then you'd go in and all the older kids were in there with their friends and stuff.It left an imprint on young me.Maybe I actually just miss being a kid. I'm coming up on 30 so I was lucky enough to see the tail end of that. I'm thankful for it.
>>730083859I remember how C&D stood out for it's 'floaty' run + attacks that have moves that can still steer up/down direction.Also jumping real high across he screen diagonally lol. I liked it but not as much as other games.
>>730084604Captain Commando has that. Crazy omnidirectional run. You can run in a circle, do diagonal dashing jump attacks.
Visiting Japan is normie as fuck
Name me some arcade games pls that aren't soulslike difficult but offer a very pleasing journey/experience with beautiful graphics and music
>>730084432Probably a good game, but I hated that awful yellow sumo stage.Ãt put me off even trying the game altogether. Shinkiro artstyle for the PR/marketing portraits. Yellow grid that sucked.
>>730084852Buddy, by default arcade difficulty is way higher than Souls like difficulty. Arcade games are generally designed for quick clears that encourage mastery of the games. But fuck it, play Battle Circuit. It's the last arcade beat em up Capcom ever made. It's easy enough to clear but there's a secret true final boss you can't make it to unless your score is high enough. Always play for score.
Name a genre that has suffered more than light gun shooters.
>>730085026it's a great game, my favourite SF game outside of 2x. but yea the backgrounds look ass. the yellow grid design looks kinda cool but the curser for menus sucked haha
https://youtu.be/eYvM8JeeO_o?si=kjYSb7ZWsX6Hg7pMThe best fighting game announcer voice is still from KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT 4 - TEK-KEN 4
>>730085206>light gun shooters>posts a positional gun game
>>730085625My mistake, will kill myself later.
>>730085062>Always play for score.That sounds nice until you actually do it and realize how much scoring mechancs suck in most arcade games. There are exceptions, but the rule is very much on the side of being either too barebones or encouraging stalling/milking, which would definitely get you a few annoyed glances in a real arcade for hogging the machine.
>>730084459Point taken. The best pinball machines are art pieces.
>>730086263The attitude that score doesn't matter, only clearing, has negatively effected game design over time. The best shmups have detailed scoring systems that reward fast playstyles. I like how Ketsui does it. Tried Operation Galuga recently. The game doesn't tell how score is calculated so there's no way of even knowing how to improve it. Even if score is just there to get extra lives it's still important to know how the game calculates it, that's what the stage end screen is for.
>>730086560At least try to pretend you aren't a shmupdrone reading from some eceleb script - talk about things that have negatively affected discussion on the entire internet.
>>730083372candy cabs are still a thing in japananalog pictures have more resolution that digital onesthat picture could be from yesterday
>>730042696Moon Patrol
>>730086643I think CAVE games in general have pretty good scoring mechanics
>>730087120Some are a bit "all-or-nothing" but to be fair it's not all of their games, and it beats these games where you check what high scoring replays are doing and see somebody waste 5 minutes on the first stage boss to shoot respawning enemies until timeout.
Shmups fans are like rabid animals to me
>>730088018You aren't wrong on many of them, but fucking rude. They are very enjoyable games.
>Avoid picking up cool shit or the game gets so hard no human can possibly deal with itSomeone explain to me why I should like the rank system in this.
>>730088836You shoudln't, play Batrider for a less anal but still somewhat present rank management.

>>730078137SEGA ever releasing a non-fighting arcade game outside of Yakuza
I like this more than any of Konami's beat 'em ups.
>>730049574Use Finalburn Neo instead. There's romsets on archive.org.
I don't think I have ever played the big grappler guys in beat em upsI always go with the speedy girl
>>730092237But what if ALL the characters were the big grapple guy?
What's the best game that plays like Cabal? I like Blood Bros a lot. Wild Guns is really good too but I'm specifically looking for arcade games that are at least as good as Blood Bros.
IT IS THE 90's
You should play Twinkle Star Sprites.
>>730092641Why is Elvis there?
>>730094230Isn't that like a shump/fighter?
Play battle circuit.
>>730084459This. I dont care about video cab art, or video cabs for that matter. I can play those games at home or on the go for free on my phone

For me it's beat em ups and light gun gaems>Had Battletoads vs Double Dragon for the SNES>Barros pizza near the comic shop me and my aniki would get dropped off at had the simpsons beat em up (hard as FUARK)>Arcade at the mall (RIP) growing up in the early 00s had Time Crisis 2 and 3>Eventually end up getting Time Crisis 3 and a light gun for the PS2 for Xmas. Eventually somehow lose it in a move or parents sold it for drug moneyAhhh, good times good timesI should go to that arcade that has a Time Crisis 3 cabinet
it's a though pill to swallow that games with the best game design only existed as a byproduct of arcade machines who needed to 1) be fun enough to get as much money out of you as they can while 2) were required by law to be entirely skill based.
>>730044212>DESTROY THE CORE
Play Monster Maulers
>>730096350Ok this is just the Salamander brain boss and they aren't even being subtle about it.
>>730095974>good game design was profit-drivenAnd that's a bad thing in what way?
>>730096560you got it backward, the problem is that we're never getting this again organically. You can still of course have games with great gameplay today but it'll have to be arcade inspired. The less modern devs are aware of this, the more we're straying away from fundamentally good gameplay.
>>730096262>DESTROY THEM ALL
>>730097138>SHOOT THEM IN THE MOUTH
>>730080949No you aren't. No arcade operator worth their salt is leaving all those machines powered on when they close up for the day. All that electricity adds up to a hefty bill.

Please play Cotton 2!
>>730099764Don't let the cutesy style fool you, the devs 100% know what they are doing.Also the better your final rank is, the less clothing Ran will be wearing on the result screen.
One of the best golf games ever
>>730099814>Is there a definitive PC game for the series.Either get the actual games running (since they're basically PC games) or just emulate the console ones.The only official option requires subscription and it's Japan only
You should play Raindrop Sprinters, especially if you’re a fan of 80’s Namco games
>>730099814ps2 emulation is too laggy for bemani timingskonasute is pretty good imo but you can also use simulators or try to find an arcade rip on discord somewhere
>>730088836This is an evil game that nobody should play
There was this Aliens shooter game at my movie theater growing up. The story was that you where in the squad sent to investigate. What was that called? I miss that game, it always felt cool shooting the gun.
Arcade games?
>>730107090Whats that one beatemup called where you play as mechs and steal other robots arms and legs?
>>730107204No idea but sounds cool so i hope somebody answers
Whats the difference between mame and fbneo?
>>730107939Mame was preinstalled on my chinkheld.
>>730107939tl;drPick mame if you anal accuracy and to tinker around.Pick FBNeo if you want to just run the games, it's included with Fightcade if you care about that.
>>730107247>>730107204Armored Warriors/Powered Gear: Strategic Variant Armor Equipment
>>730110536Nice
>>730089072M2 needs to get off their asses and port it
>>730111709Yes I know really. I'm holding off a replay until that happens because it was a pretty fun game actually and it doesn't feel right to go off by 1cc-ing with just a single character, even if I did play around a lot before that with teams.
Mushihimesama Futari Black Label for scoringBattle Garegga for survival/clearingI love dodging dots
>>730100684ON DA GWEEEEN
>>730075593>>730076781Who the fuck else is putting new games into arcades? Being pissed you can't get it easily is natural, but Samurai Pizza cats was a licencing nightmare from the start.>>730078137The impossible shit. Sega Top Skater. Ashita no Joe Fighting Mania. Cracking DJ. Dancerush Stardom
>>730088836It's definitely not for everyone, but I like it because it makes the game unroutable. Every run is going to deviate into its own beast based on where your score 1ups fall and where your unintended deaths happen, so you need to time your suicides reactively every time (so you don't drop medal chain) and make per-run decisions like "is the score and thus 1ups of starting my medal chain over worth the rank increase?"I hate shit like Dodonpachi where the game is all about executing a memorized run as close to frame perfect as possible and Garegga is the antithesis of that kind of design. Yeah, it happened completely accidentally via design meant to steal your money, but it is what it is. For some people part of the appeal is also in the satisfaction of learning how an unfair game ticks and beating it at its own game.Also it's less about avoiding the cool shit and more about not picking stuff up in excess when you're already maxed. Options are kind of the only exception to that but it's another thing I like the emergent gameplay of because you decide per-run based on how well your rank management is going when to say "fuck it we ball" and grab those last two options for the finish.
>>730068385It already has a genre - scrolling beat-em-up.
>>730088836rank fucking sucks yea, in all games.
>>730113157YEAAAAH!
>>730089798Here all we have left are those hipster beer arcades. They don't even bother doing the "noooostalgic" decorations. It's just an expensive bar with a handful of shitty arcade cabinetsThe racing rig they have is kind of cool but it costs like 30 bucks a turnPic related is whvt they took from vs. Best photo I could find
>>730042696I miss arcade gaems
>>730050329>Galloping Ghost needs to find a way to have players track progress rather than having us take pictures of things as the only way to record plays.You mean like Aurcade?
>>730078137AH AH YEAH
Bombergirl is fun.
>>730068359>>730068285Then put out multiple collections.

>>730110536yeah thats it! thanks anon
>>730123009I play on my Blast city with my friends. I rotate between the handful of boards and games i own, ive got the jamma / jvs loom. I collect and use the original art and match it to the game when possible. I cant stand custom stuff.
>>730089798>>730116212haha I saved picrel this from another thread:">barcadeI hate these people but I want their money in my pocket. There is nothing I want to know less about than IPAs but its the only way to make money in this sector.----HOPPYOPPYREDBRICKWALLS---->*taps glass* >another round of your hoppiest IPA, please!"
>>730124887i don't drink much. why are IPAs associated with sois?aren't they just beer with more alcohol content + more bitter taste? why would sois be into that
>>730042696>Live near Galloping Ghost ArcadeIt's great. I'm the dude cumming on the cabinets
>>730086263I dunno man, once you can regularly 1CC a game there's not much else to work towards
>>7301257171CC is a personal goal as much as>1CC with other characters/whatever>1LC>no bombs or similar mechanics>2m score at least>fuck it, counterstopYou get the point. As long the objective is fun to pursue, and that's where scoring systems or any other gameplay mechanics need to be well-thought out to support its arcade philosophy, since I was supposed to take my fat ass to your place to play.
>>730126135>self imposed "challenges"nah im not an autist
>>730126302That attitude just doesn't match with playing arcade games, really. Although getting the highest place on the scoreboard isn't exactly self-imposed.
>>730124887I don't think those hipster bacardes want anyone who looks like picrel there anyway desu.So they catering to very casual people and those who never experienced arcades. If picrel weren't into drinking as young adults they probably aren't interested in pubs and bars anyway as 30+.These places suffer from the same problem those entry-fee entertainment centers / arcades have. You won't see any serious fighting game competition in there organically, so no need to go there and no need have fighting games other than as wallpaper and placeholders.The space would be better suited to more touristy games. And the pub/hipster crowd v arcade crowd just don't jive with each other. They don't hate, just don't want to be near each other and feel uncomfotable, nothing in common.
>>730126401That's how I've always enjoyed them. The most I'll ever do outside of that is crank the difficulty to max instead of stock.
>>730125676....why?
>>730126621Then it's more like pure cognitive dissonance, hell many games aren't even balanced around actually moving the difficulty dip, and default settings are what people use as reference for valid 1CC challenges.
>>730080274NTA, but UAS for me. All of my favorite characters in that version play like total trash in CGoH and Ai-chan's a cutie.
>>730126804Marking my territory. Get off the fucking New Zealand Story cab asshole it's MINE
>>730087120>literally RNG>milking>some scoring systems weren't in the game but a day before release>current WR is being held by a hidden glitch based on nothing but "dude trust me"LMAO
What beat em up should I play after Ninja Saviors Once Again? I tried a lot of the classic ones but they felt way too simplistic, I think it's because I play fighting games constantly that the older beat em ups mechanics are just easily understoodBut where do I go from here?
>>730123009i have an aes for snk games and use a supergun for the other boards
ARCADE THREAD DETECTEDSEND IN THE MORK BOGHOG UNIT
>>730094230I recently learned that Ran and her mom Memory are actually oversized fairies and Ran's just larping as a magical girl.
>>730131187Ran can transform for real but she's indeed an oversized fairy summoning the spirit of another ancient fairy warrior Sprites. She larps as a witch with the flying broom though
>>730125676>imageWhat is this, we all float down here for ants?
>>730095703>Sounds greatIt would be if they weren't so fuckin expensive had decent games, there's a few actual arcade cabinets and the rest is stuff like pic related. It's not what you think it is, if it was I'd like it too
>>730127978There's some things you just don't do in public!
Played a lot of arcade games last year, built myself a nice autistic collection with FBNeo and Playnite, it's fun booting random titles.Got a newfound appreciation for 1CC design and shmups thanks to UFO50 and (you know who) but my favorite style is the Sega Model/Naomi 3D era.Have a lot of nostalgia for the Dreamcast especially but not for the actual places though. Was too young when I visited them so my experience with them was just feeling ripped off by the quarter munching.
>>730116678Um maybe? Looks like that site is compromised, I didn't investigate it further after going to the index. Anyway, I'm thinking of something that's like how IIDX will let you download a CSV file that has details of your play history. It's tied to an account that you use on the machine with scanning an IR card upon boot. Arcade gaming is all about progression and development of skill, and in this day and age, there should be a universal profile of some kind that tracks your plays and scores for you. I think a big piece of the puzzle that even current games lack is keeping detailed metrics of your own action. It's disheartening to always have your best score be shown to be 0.001% of the world record, but very few games will tell you if today's rounds were a certain percentage improvement over past plays, much less any detail beyond an end score comparison. This shouldn't be a pipe dream in 2026.
>>730088836I like pretty much every Raizing shmup I've played more than Garegga. Not sure why it's the most lauded of their lineup when Batrider & Dimahoo are right there.>>730089314AvP really is in a sweetspot of player control. You can do combos and move around a lot (depending on the character) but you're not going full fighting game combo-mode like a lot of modern beat-em-ups or something like Panzer Bandit or Sengoku 3.
>>730095454Only if I can pick my guy Alien Green
>>730129776Could you point more examples aside from Pink Sweets?
>>730136030DOJ
>>730099494No, but you can emulate their Saturn counterparts easily with SSF, Yabause, Yaba Sanshiro, Mednafen, or Cronos.
Fuck the MAME devs for removing support for SDOJ
>>730136109DaiOuJou is miles consistent than Pink Sweets. Sure, Byakko and Genbu exists, Seiryu can pretty much not give you the correct gears pattern if you fail five coin flips in a row, and Dogaku's shells fly wherever they want, but that's all the difficult rng walls I can think of. Despite all these offenders, you can get a really decent score if you route most of the stages well. I don't think DOJ is very RNG dependant
>>730136350
>>730135992You pick Captain Silver and like it
>>730097379>when they close up for the daythey didn't
>>73013884124 Hr arcade?
>>730129864The Punisher. The rolling mechanic lets you control your positioning, the fun elements almost make some sections feel like a full on third person shooter/brawler hybrid. There's just a ton you can do, they put everything into one character instead of having a cast. Pick up enemies straight off the ground, turn your attack strings into grabs by holding down or up, desperation attacks from a grab or out of a roll.
>>730139738It gets bonus points for Nick Fury doing Guile's Flash Kicks and he & Frank getting flame kicks in the JP version.
>>730136350Just play the xb360 port on xenia or use FBNeo
>>730129864Play Shadow Force. It actually uses a six button layout like a fighting game.
>>730127361I'll give you that, but the removal of each individual's theme songs really hit hard.
>>730129864Battle Circuit
>>730141747Licensing all of that music would have made the localization process even more hellish, so disappointing as it is, I get why they were removed.They atleast kept Roll's theme and made a pretty cool English remix of it, so I was happy with that atleast.
>>730078878what do you use to make that grid?
>>730144270Oh, I get why the removed it, too.At least since I have both versions for Wii, I can pop in whichever version I feel like playing.
>>730144738topsters.org
>>730144867>topsters.orgthanks, looks handy.
>>730144270Man, I honestly think, gameplay wise, TvC is the best of the Vs. Series.
>>730146035Even as a UMvC3 ultrafan TvC is definitely close. I do miss Saki and PTX-40A. Also as neat of an idea as Heroes & Heralds was, Ultimate All-Shooters beats it easy.
>>730042696millennials what was it like hearing all the bleeps and bloops all around you with everything so loud and bright? i seen it in movies and i cannot imagine what that would look and feel like
>>730146513While MvC3 has a fine roster, I love the out there picks on the Capcom side in TvC more.
>>730146750It's a little overwhelming honestly. They made shit loud and bright so that it'd grab your attention, but an entire floor of machines doing that is just chaos. In a proper full arcade you could barely hear what you were playing sometimes. That's probably why I loved sit-in cabs, you could really focus in on the game.If you EVER get a chance to play an original After Burner cabinet with the gyroscopic cockpit, take it. Still one of the most raw fun experience of my life.
>>730146035I fucking love baroque canceling.
>>730147332That's something I wanted back for MvC3
>>730146750You're missing the cigarette smell, at least with some older places. There's a while sensory experience that's missing from gaming now. Instead of going to one place and trying out a bunch of games you're mostly sitting around playing one game. Arcades also have the benefit of varied input devices like a gun or the DDR floor pad or twin sticks for stuff like virtual-on. It really feels like an electric playground.
I underestimated Warriors of Fate. The slower pace is deceptive. Feels like there's way more emphasis on crowd control than in most beat em ups because enemies filter in endlessly during boss fights. Can end your auto combo with a grab by holding down with attack but you actually have to time the down a little instead of just holding it the whole time. The game likes to punish you for doing anything that isn't deliberate.
Boghog, the worlds greatest arcade philosopher, has made a set of decrees for what makes a good gameAmong them are>no game should have more than one attack>no game should have visual or audio cues>no game should be able to be won without random fuck you instakills
>>730148317That game is surprisingly violent since you can bisect almost any enemy
>Arcade thread is still upVery nice
Currently playing Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythm Festival with a keyboard but strongly considering getting a TDC10Not because the keyboard is bad but just because the drum is more funI have a Hori drum but it's genuinely unusable dogshit that constantly drops inputs. PS2 Namco drum is much better but still requires too much force. I think I'll finally put in the money for a drum that doesn't suck shit.
>>730148430>>no game should have more than one attackBut.... every shmup after the 80s? Do bombs not count as attacks? The Dodonpachi laser???
>>730147332>>730147778Baroque Canceling is a way better mechanic than X-Factor in the long run but Mega Crash kind of shits the bed sadly.

>>730153464Why?
>>730078137It feels like it shouldn't be a never ever, but for some reason it is.
>>730154887It was on one of those mini-cabs a couple years ago at least. Shame it's so unknown/unavailable though, it's the best Golden Axe by a country mile.
>>730078878>Castlevania The ArcadeSome day I need to learn how to set it up on PC. A few years ago I watched a playthrough and I was impressed with how good it was; for some reason I used to believe that it was just a meme game (maybe I mixed it up with all the Pachinko trash that Konami used to be into).

>>730155265>>730155431Pretend I didn't forget to add this to my post.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG1MUAVc3iE>>730155461I assumed it was originally a Saturn game for some reason.
>>730155431There's alot of Sega shit that hasn't been ported, isn't there? I wouldn't mind Dynamite Cop/Deka 2 getting a port.
I dont recognize half the games here, why is v so contrarian?
>>730155906Most of this thread isn't exactly obscure relative to the classic arcade scene. We could get REALLY weird if we needed to.
>>730155906>I don't recognize half the games hereThat's awesome. I'm fucking jealous, there are so many cool arcade games you haven't tried yet
>>730147018>>730148021That there are so few people who recognize this aspect about arcades is depressing to me. The point of being at an arcade is that it is an arcade; you may be able to play the individual games at home and online, but it doesn't replace physically being in that location.

>>730154532It feels like you're mostly playing at the mercy of whether or not the CPU reads your inputs.

fun fact: gacha was first implemented in JAP arcade games that dispense cards
>>730156916no it was first implemented in gashapon machines you utter tardo
>>730156571I don't get that feeling from them, but it does vary a lot from game to game and I've played a ton of them. Final Fight enemies are so aggressive and unpredictable sometimes that it feels like playing footsies. You should try Konami's Bucky O'Hare if you haven't. It's like a beat em up/shooter hybrid, less fighting game-y.
>>730073807>ps4 also has the virtual on masterpiece collection which is pretty much the definitive way to play those gamesAny reason why that wasn't released in the West? I remember Virtual-On OT being relatively "popular" on XBLA many years ago and with a very dedicated community.
>>730156993they were not videogames. smartphone whale culture started in arcade games:>Kobayakawa: That's right. The number of game centers continued to decline even in the 2000s. However, starting with "DOC," a business model that focused on high-spending players, players who were willing to pay a lot of money, spread among arcade games. Up until then, arcade games were a market where good gamers didn't spend money because they didn't need continues. But in the 2000s, that changed to a market where good gamers would spend money. The "2:8 rule" is something that is still talked about in smartphone games today. I think arcade games in the 2000s were the precursors to this business model where a small number of users account for the majority of sales.
>>730157037I'm sure there's still a western community for the PS4 collection.
What are some other arcade games where you play as characters like this?

Beat em ups suffered as a genre because they leaned too hard into the multiplayer aspect. Two players is fine, but three or more and the games become shit.

>>730046851around ten years ago, i went to a round 1 and i was sitting on a tekken arcade version machine like the one on the left behind the girl in the pic. i don't really play tekken, but it's a fun game with nice characters>sit and play by self>friend sits on left >other friend passes by and says some girl is checking me out>they're all drunk because there's bar>CHALLENGER APPEARS all of sudden>used to standing machines where challenger is next to you so was really confused>even thought it was new wireless wifi technology thing >choose lili; challenger chooses xiaoyu>play and somehow win 1st round but can tell other player is kinda good>all of sudden drunk friend yells "IT'S A GIRL YOU'RE PLAYING A GIRL" >whole place was loud so really wasn't loud, but loud enough>realize it's machine in front of me>take quick peek and she has eyes focused on screen and she's pretty>2nd round starts and start twirling with lili and keep doing it with no follow-up attacks>xiaoyu gets close and starts busting stance after stance>lili flips and cartwheels and xiaoyu does i-don't-even-know-what and swinging her arms and jumping into stances>lili twirls again and throws big drop kick and misses xiaoyu by inches>we do variants of these really narrow misses for rest of the match until we draw>play 3rd mostly normally and i somehow win againit was absolutely amazing. the girl, sure, yeah, but it was the most incredible bout of improvisational gameplay i have seen and i couldn't believe i was a part of it. the entire 2nd round was like a dance and it drew a crowd in that arcade. i'm all about on-the-spot, (learned) improvisational, gameplay and the fact that i don't play much tekken but were still kind of familiar with some moves on some characters really helped make everything happen. she disappeared after the match, but i saw her later and she was with her bf on the blazblue machines. she's one of those girls who looks white-mexican-asian at same time

Deathsmiles if you want it horizonal. Traditional (vertical): Not sure myself, I want to say something like Gunbird but Psikyo also has its own very particular style. Eh idk, if you want something funny and not too hard how about Star Parodier?Traditional (horizontal): Don't be afraid of the Gradius, first game ain't so hard. But otherwise try Harmful Park, it's a not-so-hidden gem.

Any tips on how to get into harder games and see the appeal of them? I really don't understand the appeal of hyper-difficult games, when that time could be spent on an IRL hobby or somethingBut I'm ready to have my mind changed, although last time I asked this on /vr/ all I got was "filtered zoomer filtered filtered"
>>730042696>I love the feeling of sliding a ridged, silver quarter into a tight slot>I love the smell of cordite... you know, that sulfury smell?But to you, it will be the smell of your own death.>I love to reload during a battle! There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber.
>>730165070Playing arcade games is an IRL hobby
>>730165070You keep getting that answer because the way you formulate the question is retarded. Doesn't matter if you play hard or easy games if you think they are less worth than a "IRL hobby", and you can easily spend more time checking boxes in an easy one than practicing a 20 min route until you get a 1cc anyways.
>>730165176No, specifically stuff like grinding Mushihimesama for thousands of hours is worth less than an IRL hobbySomething like building something in Planet Coaster or doing a puzzle game or something is actually helping your brain, the conflict is I don't see the value of grinding difficult games like that
>>730164351as tempted as i am to call you out for having shit taste, these days i tend to mute tgm half the time and play something else in the background instead, so (you) do (you)
>>730165220The worth, like any other vidya ever, is having fun and a sense of satisfaction in overcoming particularly difficult challenges. If you personally don't see any worth into this, then it's not for you, there isn't really much more to add.
>>730165318I could add cultivating the required mindset and discipline to overcome difficulty in general and acquiring any other unrelated skill, if we really want to extrapolate.As in, if you are into practicing a ballbuster shmup for months before shitting out a 2-ALL, maybe you at least have the attitude required to learn how to play instruments or any other execution-heavy hobby.
>>730165070If the idea of mastering a very difficult videogame doesn't appeal to you then I don't think I can convince you to change your mind. But if it does then arcade games are just the best vehicle.foe that because they're designed for fast clears when mastered. Final Fight is harder than most modern action games but it's also easier to practice repeated clears. If you're worried about wasting time not doing productive things then you shouldn't be playing videogames anyway. Go write a book.
>final fight is harder than most modern action gamesMork get out of the thread
>>730165117>600 yen, enough to body anything that moves

>>730165571Is he wrong?Yes.
>>730165608nta but how
>>730165571I think just about any arcade action game is harder than most modern action games though.
>>730165716No concept of quality, thinks games are "mastered", doesn't understand that I'd rather learn a difficult good game slowly over time than consume mountains of trash, thinks learning a shmup is the same as playing the tuba, this is all a thirdie mindset. If the game is fun why would I not keep playing it? A sense of frustration and resistance is part of the enjoyment, if that's not there it's not a good video game, and arguably not a real video game at all.
>>730165918Go to bed Mork
>>730165070desu i got into these games when i was very serious about studying/careermaxxing and didnt have time for 100 movie games or mmos. the appeal is that these are games you can play either for a couple of minutes over your lunch break or for 6 hours on the weekend and the reward comes entirely from leveling up your own skill rather than grinding out a battlepass.>on an IRL hobby if you're lucky enough to have irl arcades around still, these games are the closest vidya comes to being an irl hobby and it's really cool to be able to walk into some rando gamecenter and play vidya with complete strangers across cultures and language barriers
>>730165946Why am I not surprised that reply came from the onimai avatarfag.Aside from being obviously wrong, you also didn't seem to follow the reply chain at all, and lack the required abstraction to understand what's being compared is only the kind of mindset/discipline/attitude, not the tasks in themselves. Purely because both things are about improving execution through hours of practice, likely involve breaking it in small bits, and then try to make everything work out in at least a single run.
>>730165946>A sense of frustration and resistance is part of the enjoymenthow does overcoming this not suggest mastery?>doesn't understand that I'd rather learn a difficult good game slowly over time than consume mountains of trashthat's what grinding out a 2-all is, isn't it? your reply is all over the place
>>730166231Basically 90% of his posts are superiority complex-driven stream of consciousness.
>>730166231Only BRs and other assorted third world retards think they can "master" arcade games. I used to see it all the time on fightcade.>I "mastered" beating the cpu in kof, why can't I beat you?I don't know what word in their language correlates to this, but they sure love that word.
>>730165009>darius is pretty easyDon't I need a really big screen to play the first couple of games proper?
1cc it...if you're so great.
>>730166387The post you intially replied to does not use the word "mastery" at all.Also holy pseudposting man. I hope you are only playing a character for (You)s, because if that's how you actually think you are setting yourself up for massive ego blows.
>>730166642You're getting very butthurt
>>730166682Not that anon, but saying "you're butthurt" is a last resort move that means nothing. You've lost. Having mastered the art of posting on /v/, I can judge these things.
>>730166682And I can only hope for your take that's your only goal.
>>730166682looks like someone got mastered
>>730166741>You've lostLost what? These threads are garbage, /vr/ has the same exact threads, and they have the same exact idiots who don't play anything. The mindset that learning a game is a "mastery" that can be used for clout and to manipulate others is a third world mindset. Like putting in effort is a limited resource, and there's a set line of "mastery" where you're one of the "big shots" now.You have people who think getting "2ccs" is an accomplishment trying to debate with third world retards on whether it's better to give up and play movie games. It's just asinine. Why do these shitty generals exist?
>>730166958>Lost what?The game.
>>730166958The overwhelming majority of this thread is people just talking about cool arcade games. It's only around these hours some guy shows up to samefag and rage bait.
I do agree that playing for clout is stupid. You keep playing and improving because it's fun for you, not to impress other people. That's a nice side effect. There's probably like 20 people in the world who seriously care about you being a shmup superplayer or not, and most of them are losers.
>>730167092>The overwhelming majority of this thread is people just talking about cool arcade gamesNo, it's lazy retro boomers who don't play anything soifacing over quirky pixel art. It's JUST like /vr/. Get this awful shit out of here lmao, there's a reason that board is dead and those people killed it
Let me give you guys the rundown on the loreThis fag >>730166958 used to be an Onimai avatarfag, he doesn't play shmups yet constantly posts about it and laments the state of /v/ not playing, despite him literally not playingHe's switched to manga avatarfagginb ecause his shtick was getting too boviousBasically don't listen to him, he doesn't play
>>730167205You're not on /vr/ and we don't fucking care about your celebrities or whatever the fuck. Didn't read your post.
>>730167268Wut? Just saying this retarded avatarfag >>730166958 should be ignored
>>730167347What is he saying that's wrong though?
>>730167394>sigh /v/ doesn't play sighWhile he doesn't play himself
>>730167347Don't care, didn't read, didn't ask. Don't know who it is. Don't wanna know. Don't know who the fuck Mork is either. Post about arcade games or put the gun in your mouth. Please
>>730167469It's the obnoxious avatarfag, as seen here >>730166958
>>730167112Same but that's not what anyone was advocating for, the avatarfag is just being retarded as usual.
>>730167520>but that's not what anyone was advocating forYeah you're right. Not specifically anyway, but I guess he was reacting to>that time could be spent on an IRL hobby or something>grinding Mushihimesama for thousands of hours is worth less than an IRL hobbyThe idea that if a hobby or use of time doesn't impress people it's not worth doing
>>730166958ok I now get what you were trying to say here >>730165946>consume mountains of trash its like the 3x3 posers on /a/ and the like obsessed with a lifestyle label. The only "arcade game" I've played is Blue Revolver, started last year, I play for score and don't think I'm a superplayer or whatnot. I lament the low population towards the top of the leaderboard but that is like a reflection of these threads lol.
>>730167637But again, that's not necessarily what anon meant. Just what he read into it. Time is limited and we're not going to live forever, it's fair to ask whether something is a valuable or meaningful use of your time compared to other options.Ultimately that's a judgement left up to you.
>>730166958>Like putting in effort is a limited resourceIt is sadly. We're all mortal men doomed to die.
>>730167637>The idea that if a hobby or use of time doesn't impress people it's not worth doingin this case a "IRL hobby" doesn't necessarily need to be about "impressing others" as much as some personal belief that it has inherently more value than "non-IRL hobbies" or linking it to "real world skills" in general.Both this mindset and the retarded shit coming from the avatartroon are pseud trash though. The main objective of videogames is about having fun, some like their hardcore fun and some don't, if that leads to any sort of IRL accomplishment one way or the other it's cool but not what should be considered the primary goal. Like I'm not playing shmups because I wanted to become more disciplined, I already am, but I can see that could be an useful result for life in general.
>>730167910Yeah I agree with all that
>>730165220If you don't see the value then don't do it. You don't need to put yourself through something in order to "fit in", or "farm clout", filtered zoomer.
>>730166042Fucking this. Now that I'm old enough to understand the "dad gamer" mindset where I can't sit for 12 hours and play some dialogue driven rpg and just want to fire up a game and practice a stage or a boss for an hour after dinner arcade games deliver that no-filler experience.
>>730167910Learning the games is what's fun. If someone is good ar a game that just means they really enjoy learning it. If you don't like learning then you don't like games, video or otherwise. People will tell you "why put in the effort" and then sink 2000 hours into elder scrolls. These are people who do not like games and are the ones who are really "wasting their time".I remember talking to jwong on fightcade and he said the best part about games is when they first come out and there's all sorts of new things to learn. That's the attitude I consistently see in people who are good at games.
>>730168258>People will tell you "why put in the effort" and then sink 2000 hours into elder scrolls. These are people who do not like games and are the ones who are really "wasting their time".Because Elder Scrolls is fun for them without effort. If they don't enjoy putting effort into learning, they might not like learning games but they still like games.Why is that any more of a waste of time, and why does it matter? Not everybody finds the same hobbies fun, or cares about whether what they like is considered a waste of time or not.
>>730168382>Because Elder Scrolls is fun for them without effortThey aren't having fun, they are just consuming. There is nothing fun about brainlessly consuming, it's just turning off the mental disquiet.
>>730168258god damn it I thought you were trolling>pic rel>>730168382the logical conclusion of that is killing yourself since everything is weighed against a virtual sandbox and found equally useless
>>730168443>They aren't having fun, they are just consuming.Says you.>There is nothing fun about brainlessly consuming, it's just turning off the mental disquiet.Also says you.Nothing wrong with enjoying a game like Elder Scrolls. Seems like you care about clout, and how you spend time, more than you let on before.
>>730168473>the logical conclusion of that is killing yourself since everything is weighed against a virtual sandbox and found equally uselessWrong.
>>730168512true
>>730168258Is it really a waste of time to play it if you enjoyed it and don't regret it. People have that mindset about gaming in general. You might think the SEAmonkey that is playing 5 gacha games at once is wasting their time but to a non-gamer, they see you clearing the hardest games or getting really good at whatever fightan and they think you're a faggot wasting their life. You are literally that guy.
What the HELL happened in the last 50 posts or so
>>730168542>playing 5 gacha games at once is wasting their timeWasting their money more likely
>>730168581Arcade threads often devolve into posts like this on 4chan, where people feel the need to justify their hobby to the world and themselves. How they spend time so much better than others, even as they waste their precious hours shitposting with retards.

>>730169186All you do is consume garbage, unlike jwong, who dropped ff14 for 10 hours and dropped it, you'll consume it for 5000 hours and learn nothing. It becomes obvious ff14 is 100% snake oil pretty quickly. The whole genre of rpgs has just gone to trash, see square enix remaking the whole dragon quest series to be cinematic movie games like final fantasy when they used to be super quick and snappy. This genre is just not fun, all the game bits have been taken out of it. It's like the polar opposite of a video game now.

I recently started playing Cash Cow DX, which is a modern game but heavily inspired by 1980s arcade games, and I liked it. The game is solid and fun to play on an arcade stick, but I still feel like something is missing, I can't quite put my finger on it.For example, I think SonSon, which comes free with Capcom Arcade 2, despite being such a primitive game, is much more addictive and challenging than Cash Cow DX. Why? I don't know, but it's clear that even games that try to look authentic fail to really capture the same sense of challenge that older games offered, and that addictive feeling of always wanting to try one more time.
Oh hell yeah, an RPG thread
Too bad my country barely has any more cabs in its arcades anymore but it has those modern S*ga/K*nami rhythm games and racing machines (Wangan Midnight/Initial D)

>>730169720haven't played either so might be talking out my ass but it looks like Cash Cow doesn't really have great enemy placement or denying movement and focuses on the faux-sonic appeal

>>730169816Thanks, I didn't know about it.I'll definitely play it, it looks pretty decent.
>>730169720I think games being designed with actual cash credits in mind helps. I agree a lot of modern throwback games don't inspire me to keep playing for whatever reason. Maybe the feeling that I could actually be playing an authentic arcade game from the past instead is part of it. For whatever reasons, I think I'd be more satisfied spending my time mastering SonSon than Cash Cow DX even if it were an equally good game.

>>730170298I like the look and music. For all this and that about gameplay there's something to be said about the feeling and aesthetic of a game being right. Like what if garegga was ugly? Would you have found it as compelling in the beginning, enough to grind it for hours and hours later?
>>730170513Goodnight, anon. Good thread.
>>730170582Better than gayregga for sure, but yeah I hated the part where fucking speed ups have such a massive effect on the rank.I have done 1-ALL though, not that bad if you go slow until you eventually can't anymore(usually the graveyard stage because the boss will outspeed you and just kill with contact)

Would you have found it as compelling in the beginning, enough to grind it for hours and hours later?Yeah, honestly good feel and aesthetics is necessary for anybody to care about playing any game. More than some people want to admit. If it doesn't feel satisfying to pop enemies then what's the point?
>>730170624Good night, sweet thread.
>>730170830All the parts gotta come continue. There's good beat em ups that I can't get that into as much because the hit sounds are too weak. Not actually an arcade game, but SoR3. I even like the music but the hit sounds are like wet noodle slaps. Hitting someone with a pipe in 2 sounded like a fucking cannon shot.
>>730170513This was an absolutely terrible thread
With bump limit reached I can now share my real opinions without fear.G Darius > Gaiden
>>730171571You forgot your avatar again
>>730171604Darius is just bad, it looks cool bit it's just bad. G Darius is especially retarded because you can skip half the game by just sitting inside a capture. It's like people sucking off gradius and parodius when those games are clearly awful and boring to route. Rayforce and Raystorm are the actual good Taito shmups.
>>730171713>boring to routeWhat would you know about that when all you do is copymonkey
>>730171813Go back to /vr/ retard
>>730171835You are so fucking easy to spot.
>>730171853What are you even talking about schizo?
>>730171875Try again next thread, I'm sure somebody will keep falling for it.
>>730171713>G Darius is especially retarded because you can skip half the game by just sitting inside a captureThat sounds like a bit of an exaggeration
>>730171923There's not gunna be a next thread, you need to stay on /vr/. You saw actual shmup threads so you had to fire up these shitty generals again and suck all discussion dry with these awful fart huffing threads. Stay on /vr/, you don't belong here. Those threads are dead for a reason.
>>730172014>stay on /vr/>stay on /vr/Make me. Yes there will be other arcade threads on /v/, better prepare your avatar pictures already.
>>730172112>Yes there will be other arcade threadsNo there won't be
>>730172150Yeah I'm sure this will be the last one ever lol
