Objectively the best obscure PS1 platformer. Only furfags would object to that.
I would really prefer if you'd be quiet.
>>736482997Feet
I dunno if Croc is obscure, but I liked it more than tomba
>>736482997so, confirmed, santa's #1 helper is a squirrel
>>736483171Croc was a PS1 game and Tomba was N64
>>736482997>jump physics feel like you’re on the moon>visual nonsense makes it difficult to even interpret where you can stand, much less the foreground/background system
>>736482997I wish there were more games like this, you don't really see platformers that go heavy on adventure game style problem solving.
>>736483246They were both PS games
This... looks fun
>>736482997I didn't like the interconnected level design. Felt messy in a 2D (or 2.5D) platformer
>>736483208Please shut the fuck up.You're right though.
>>736483324I don't think there's ever been another game like these two
>>736482997That's not The Adventure of Little RalphAlso>tomba>obscureLmao
I liked it a lot but the lives/checkpoint system is retarded to me. It's like 2 halves that were never finished and properly implemented. I guess they were still trying to figure out how to make these work properly together.Then Tomba 2 trivialized it all.
>obscurekill all zoomers
>>736484021There's an indie game that tries to be a mix between Tomba, Klonoa and Mischief Makers but with nonbinary bullshit because it's gotta be like that every fucking time.
>>736482997Ar a kid I was addicted and fascinated with the demo of this game on the Interactive Sampler Disc 7, but none of my local stores ever carried the game.https://youtu.be/sJoeU3EKu8w
It’s funny how pigs are often the main enemies in video games
>>736484636I just liked it because it had farting peach plants
>>736484675>how often>there's like 5 examples across 20 years
>>736482997Tomba can barely be considered obscure>>736483091>>736483208>>736483380>>736483895This is not a Tomba 2 thread
>>736484848No one knows what it is except sweaty trannies.
>>736484797I would also jump on the farting peach plant repeatedly
>>736482997>*Deep voice* "My name is Tomba, the mighty. I have fast pants."
>>736484872>
>>736485605(s)he cute
>>736482997Even up to this day I only played Tomba 2
>>736483343You're not going to gaslight me with photoshop/AI. A shitty sony console would not have a quality game like Tomba.
>>736485321>Nintendo fag constantly tries to act all quirky and random>Sony chad tells him to shut the fuck up>Nintendo fag to this day is seething about it Many such cases.
>>736482997Its not obscure though.
>>736487921N64 doesn't have games
>>736482997How about you name an actually obscure PS1 platformer
>>736488487Because that game is shit
>>736487801You should play the first one, it's got a more soulful art style. Content-wise it's very similar.
>>736488895I think 2 is, overall, more fun to playExcept that fucking minecart minigame, that sucks
>>736488432Shut the fuck up you fucking sony faggot.The N64 has the best library in history.
>>736490584Even Saturn has more better games than N64.
>>736488961Yeah, I enjoyed 2 more than 1. And you're right, that mandatory minecart mini game was terrible. Definitely halted my progress for a bit as a kid.
>>736485321Dude I love bagels!
>>736492128I don't.
Are there games other than Tomba that are legit impossible to actually discuss on /v/
>>736490584>The N64 has the best library in history.
>>736494738Sonic 3 barrel
>>736494738That gamecube pokemon gameYou know the one
>obscure>demo included with PS1I don't think you know what obscure means
>>736494738Klonoa
>>736495639Every game that flopped on the PS1 had a demo on a disc somewhere.
>>736488487Why is the jester wearing sneakers
>>736496517It's Sneakers O' Toole. He just didn't want to take those sneakers off.
>>736496049obscure and flop do not mean the same thing
>>736488487That's not obscure either.Obscure is something like Techno Mage or CyberOrg.
>>736496517Is this more to your liking? jp version of the same game
>>736496706Ok, so that means that if a title got coverage on some magazine then it's not obscure because everyone and their mom saw it at least once?
>>736492128I believe you
>>736482997MY NAME IS TOMBA THE MIGHTY
>>736497096He doesn't talk, though, so, he would never say that
>>736485605That isn't caveman by the way. He still looks about the same. He commentated a live speedrunning event if you want to see for yourself.
>>736482997I'll wait till' autumn for my yearly playthrough
Too much backtracking and vague quests. The quality tanks around the time the demo ends. Everything after that is just mediocre.
>>736497312Yeah, I was just memeing lol
>>736482997He's kind of faggot coded ngl.
>>736482997this game was made by the ghost n goblin devs
>>736494738
>>736485321>no one gave a fuck about this literally who game to the point where the couch was empty for random people to sitAlways the funniest thing about this
>>736494738The new God of War games
The game is really adorable and unique. Really glad they remade it as the original was started to cost like 250$ and I lost my copy long ago
>>736485605>>736497312
>>736500037This is a board for videogames (such as Tomba for the Playstation 1). If you want to talk about movies, go to /tv/.
this game looks...... fun.
>>736482997It's quiet... too quiet.
Memes aside, is Tomba 2 good? I liked the first game, but for some reason I never got around to playing 2. I was thinking about getting it now that it's on Steam. How is it?
>>736506303>Soul>Music>Aesthetics1 wins on those2 also has terrible voice acting, your mileage may vary on that oneOtherwise 2 wins. It's a certified childhood classic of mine. Great, memorable layouts and quest design. Snappy controls and good pacing. One or two annoying minigames but they're mostly optional unless you want to 100%.I don't know how this works on the steam version but if you have a 100% savefile from 1, you unlock a few optional sidequests on 2 with returning characters as well.Have fun if you want to play it.
The most obscure platformers on the ps1 are Lode Runner ExtraFuun Gokuu Nindenand Santa Claus Saves the Earth
>>736508531>Fuun Gokuu NindenPic related
>>7365063032 is awful compared to the first game. It has some cool areas, but that's about it.
>>736482997>obscurejesus christ. just nuke this place lol
>>736494738ape escape 3
>played the based Winter Releases '98 demo back in the day>never actually saw the game for sale to buy and properly play it>25+yrs later it comes out on Switch>stuck in hospital for a week losing blood and I need a new game to play, perfect>mfw I get as far as the windy mountains and give up because I've no idea what I'm supposed to be doing and the game plays like ass (though that might've been down to the shitty LRG port job)I watched BlueKunai's playthrough since and I can tell I wouldn't have enjoyed it, just seems like an endless fetch quest, the bosses seem incredibly lame and copy+paste, and it looks progressively more rushed and incomplete as the game goes on. I love the game's aesthetic and charm but I'd shoot myself before having to endure all that
>>736509771It was rushed, they had to cut like half the game for some reason. There's videos made by a group called Tomba Club if you're interested.
>>736482997I agree, it’s a genuinely awesome game. The sequel kinda sucked
>>736482997unfortunately, this one got memed to hell but you faggots should absolutely play it if you didn't. I have played thousands of games in my life, and tomba is that special one I would easily put in top 10.
>>736495572>
>>736509771it's a little rough around the edges. not nearly as bad as the second one though
>>736492128asiago cheese bagel. mmm.
>>736482997>obscureI swear you kids, you get on my nerves. But that means I am really old.
>>736508924>>736515160I'm sorry, but in what world is Tomba not at least a somewhat obscure game, especially in the [current year]? >m-muh demo disksYeah, who gives a fuck? There were tons of demo disks. Being on a demo disk doesn't make you a popular game. When do you ever see Tomba get mentioned or referenced in anything? You think zoomers know anything about this game other than the GDQ memes? Get the fuck outta here
>>736516139>I haven't heard this game in years/in my life so it must be obscureThat's literally not our problem
>>736516648Yeah, you already have enough problems, like the fact that you're a retarded faggot.
>>736516906Very good as that joke isn't obscure. you know what else isn't obscure? your mom.
>>736516139NTA but tomba is not obscure at all. You're a clown.
>>736482997Feet! wait what fuck
>>736487921ps1 is a great sony console THOUGH
>>736482997The character design of that game kinda reminds me of Aventure Island.
>>736506650>I don't know how this works on the steam version but if you have a 100% savefile from 1, you unlock a few optional sidequests on 2 with returning characters as well.That's pretty cool. I just looked it up and it looks like the Steam version just automatically unlocks the content for you.
I know people here overwhelmingly prefer 1 to 2, but there's just something about the sequel that feels like a perfect game to me (all things considered.) Voice acting is funny, music is good, locations are varied, gameplay/combat can be slightly repetitive but the quests make up for it.One of those games I can just throw on once a year and beat it (100% or just a regular playthrough.) The ending part when time freezes is always so sick, really eerie and I wished it lasted a bit longer.
>>736494738Metal Wolf Chaos XD
>>736521670I always had a fully completed savefile up to the ??? before the cutscene that freezes the world on any of my memory cards.The 'tism yearns for a completed file up to the latest point of no return in any game. It is what it is.
>>736521872Hey, a man's gotta yearn for something, whether it's the female body or for Tomba 2 100%. Time for you to start up another playthrough and do the same thing anon.
>>736522017According to my excel I haven't played it since 2021 so yeah. I could.
>>736521670Yeah I fucking loved 2 so much growing up. Makes me sad to see it get shit on so much. The trolly can go fuck itself though.
>Tomba! is an open world Metroidvania game with RPG elements.[1][2]
>>736483380It is.
>>736494738Halo.
I started playing it recently. It's ok but the pause when going to the menu to get an item gets really annoying, as well as a lot of the backtracking needed. Also fuck the laughing/crying mushroom section.
>>736522258The trolly really isn't even all that difficult, unless you're talking about the seeds of strength which are essentially useless so people can skip that part anyways. Normal trolly just has ~2 parts where you need to break hard, but nothing crazy.
>>736483091fpbp
>>736500251Fat fuck. Consider an exercise
>>736482997Why the fuck did they give him a girlfriend and a talking floating creature companion in 2? Hell, who thought the voice acting for that game was okay, half the girls sound like old women (though that could also be them having so few VAs)
>>736527806>Why the fuck did they give him a girlfriendhe deserves it after saving the world>a talking floating creature companionhow else are you supposed to have meaningful dialogue in the game if the MC just doesn't speak at all? this isn't claude from GTA III where he just gets orders barked at him all game, this is supposed to be a fluid world interacting with a primate and his lil' buddy working as the talking figure.
>>736482997Serious question, how come humans are rarely the heroes for platformers?
>>736528174... what?
>>736483091FpbpAsiago cheese bagelsFast pants Jumping jacks Some guy calls chibis mom
>>736516139It had TV commercials that aired frequently. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's obscure. You're just young and ignorant. >these other repliesOh, you're retarded.
>>736494738sigh
>>736484675They represent AMERICANS

>>736482997I like that jump...
Skullmonkeys was fun for the little bit I played but I couldn't tell you if it's amazing.
I remember being pissed about events I couldn't do by the end of Tomba 2.When I replayed these games I noticed there's very specific events that are permanently missable. It's some bullshit
>>736535536i don't think there are any missable events
>>736482997>No Tomba 3>Never ever gonna happenIt hurts so much bros, why can't we have nice things anymore
>>736488487>>736482997Ps1 games are not obscure if they featured in an official monthly PSMag demo disc. An old fag here is telling you they both did.
>>736535930It's been a decade so I'm not entirely sure exactly, but no, there's definitely at least a missable event in 1 that made me restart the whole thing.
>>736536062oh in 1 idk, i only played 2 and that doesn't have any missable stuff
>>736482997I still never found out what Tammy looked like. Only played the demo for 1 and got filtered somewhere around the water levels.
>>736509771The whole game is like this, same with the mushroom platform shit or the underwater segment, the castle, the caves. All of them has the same exact problem: its clunky, unfinished and nowhere near as interesting, polished or even good looking as the parts what was put on the demo discs. The moment you rescue the dwarves the quality overall takes a nosedive. The bosses are just plain bad too. Its pretty obvious what the marketing stunt was here, to make it as presentable as possible on demos.
>>736500251Looks like he's chilled out over the last few years. Good thing he didn't fall for the troonpill like so many others have. That pathetic shit is fucking sad if glownigs are betting on it becoming an industrialized process for a cucked out empire in decline.
>>736509771Based Winter Releases 98 enjoyer. For me it was Demo One.
>>736495639My ps1 demo disc didn't have this. I recall it did have the Boulder chase level from crash bandicoot, the cave level from croc, and the first level from intelligence qube
>>736482997They named it Tomb because DEAD
>>736494738Mafia 3Pokemon XD: Gale of DarknessSummertime Saga
>>736494738Pretty much everything on PS1 and PS2.
>>736484614doubleshake never eever
>>736482997is it possible to talk about this game without this >>736483091shit being mentioned? these faggots literally ruined this franchise to the point of it being practically untalkable without their mention
>>736539526Kind of a shame but it's not much of a franchise. Even old Klonoa has something more tangible. All these games ever got were dumb ports. So unfortunately yeah, you cannot talk about this game without a bunch of faggots showing up. It's much more benign than some modern game releases in this board.
>>736482997My name is Tomba the mighty!
i've only ever played the ps1 demo is it actually a fun game
>>736494738The Big Catch is like that lmao
>>736536231You niggers are fucking delusional, if someone replaced Tomba's sprite with Mario's and called the game "Super Mario RPG Platformer" you'd be cumming all over yourself with how great the game is
