What oldkino is /v/ enjoying? I'm having a blast with Ape Escape after getting it from Myrient before it closed. 2 is some 60fps goodness. It has excellent game-feel, and runs great on PS3.
>>736649609Playing through Dark Cloud 2 again, I love this game except for the golfing, that shit's annoying.
>>736649910Is Dark Cloud the game they called "Dark Chronicle" in the EU or is that another came? I believe it's Dark Chronicle that starts with a cutscene where an evil giga genie attacks your village and kills your mom. I played that on a PS2 Demo Disc as a kid and I had to lock in to avoid crying because my friend was next to me. I've always wanted to play it, but then it came out on PS4 or PS5 and I realized I don't really like it lol.
>>736649910Golf was a cool way to finish off the level, don’t be a fag. The real problem is the controls being archaic, combat is lacking despite being the focal point of the game. I don’t consider it playable, dark cloud 1 is much better combat imo.
>>736649986The second game is called Dark Chronicle in the EU, in America it's called Dark Cloud 2 because the first game is called Dark Cloud.The cutscene you're thinking of is from Dark Cloud 1
Mega Man Star Force 2. It's 19 years old.
>>736649910Based. Dark Cloud 2 is one of my favorite games, I have a ton of happy memories revolving around it.Spheda was my mom's favorite part of the game. I'd beat levels for her (she didn't like combat) just so she could play it. lol
Any good Myrient alternatives out there? I wanted to pick up Tekken 5 DR on PS3.
>>736649609How do you play old games without cryinh knowing those days are never coming back?
>>736650612If you had a single good day here you should be fucking ashamed of yourself. I’m sleeping out here on the street with heroin being my closest friend while you had good days. I’m going to haunt you in hell motherfucker.
>>736650612Its simple, you just be a Zoomer with no actual frame of reference for those days other then second hand accounts and whatever leftovers your family got for you.
>>736650247>combat is lacking despite being the focal point of the game. I don’t consider it playable, dark cloud 1 is much better combat imo.What the hell are you smoking? DC2's combat is a massive improvement over DC1.Dark Cloud had six people you need to individually grind to level up their weapons and had weapons that disappear if you don't notice their condition.DC2 brings it down to two people, with two weapons each that don't disappear, and also reduces the amount of experience needed to level things up.
>>736650473>Spheda was my mom's favorite part of the game. I'd beat levels for her (she didn't like combat) just so she could play it. lolMy mom never cared about my video games :(

>>736650557Minerva Archive has torrents for everything they backed up, and you get between 5-20mbps.Internet Archive also has about anything.
>>736650612I hate any AAA game that isn't Sonic or Mario that's come out since 2020, really, so it's easy to go back now. I kept following AAA vidya until a certain point but I just can't anymore. It feels like a Netflix show where everything is drenched in mediocrity despite looking well produced. The soul is gone, and you can feel the self-hating, judgmental, millenials who worked on these games having only older games as their literacy, and not sincere ambitions to explore what video games can be.
>>736650612Also, something i realize playing through some PS2 games for the first time: Just like PS1, that unique "PS2 Era 3D" is something I distinctly remember mourning when PS3 was launching. In 2006 I kept telling 11 year old self "Game like Jak 2 already looks so well animated, why do we even need better graphics?" and then I kowtowed once I saw games like King Kong and Transformers on Xbox 360 vs the PS2 version, or GTA IV. But it's true. The PS2 graphics is something completely unique that has gone away since the need for it vanished, due to the obliteration of hardware aesthetics.A silly thing I actually hope for is that in the whole "Environmentalism" shit, someone is like "I've made a 5W powered console!" and then some big new game publisher launches a limited power console that's popular because everyone wants to save on energy, and because of that it's regressed to PS2 graphics, because then that automatically gets rid of normie developers who don't know what Optimization is, and calls back on software engineer experts who know how to program smartly, and then that attracts talent and much smaller teams.
>>736650810Cool, I played through the first one just last month. Was her appearance in the new Cotton game what made you want to play her game?
>>736651221Yeah. I hopped into a rare Izuna thread the other week, and an anon mentioned that she's in Rock With You so I started playing her game. I remember emulating Izuna 1 on release and enjoying it, but I never ended up finishing it so I'm making up for lost time.
>>736651609>Izuna LegendI've never paid attention to this series before. I wanna play them now!!
