This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki
do people actually pay this much? lol.
>>12271621king.
>>12271627bro he scams people like you
>>12271609I paid about half that.The game's actually dropped in value.
>>12271624They want the authentic disc and packaging, it's really not that hard to understand. If Panzer Dragoon is their favorite game, they're gonna get a real copy.I pirate and burn 95% of my games, but the last 5% are real copies of games that cost me $100 or more because they're my favorites.
>>12271630I have more money than people like you and I have all the cool shit that people like you are mad about not having
Which classic Final Fantasy game do you think is the best?
6-7
>>122711611, without question. I need no time to answer this question.
>>12271161FFX, I'd have to write an hour long review to say all I want to say. Well-told complex stories and characters, and well-designed complex combat.7 and 8 get second place6 has beautiful graphics and music3 is a very impressive NES game.
Do we need this thread every week?
>>122711619, I replayed it recently and was blown away by how much soul it had from beginning to end. If I was going to point to one game as being art it would be that one.
The more you play atari games the more it grows on you.>the most schizophrenic games out of any console>why is this chef dropping pieces of the cake from 20ft above instead of just baking it? is he a prison chef?>why are you a woman walking around town running from the cops fucking men in their homes?>activision when they were good>games just named after one noun like nuts, millipede, pengo. What the fuck could those mean or even be? its just like gambling.>best styled cover arts out of any console.Can we have a normal atari thread for once?
Where else could you get a great game glued to a shit game?
>>12271274Which is which?
>>12271285Spike's Peak sucks. I used to play Ghost Manor endlessly as a kid
>>12271262>>12271318Gigolo and Ghost Manor look super cool. I just recently got into playing more Atari2600, and there's just so many games I don't know about. My grandma had the green 32in1 cartridge when I was a kid, ans that's about all the games I know aside from some Atari retro collections here and there with the most well-known stuff like Centipede or Asteroids.
I got an Intellivision as a kid after the NES had already won. I knew it was "going backwards" and yet I found myself pleasantly surprised to be enjoying it, even as a child. I just thought it was neat and I have fun memories of playing it on my sunporch with the sun dappling the screen playing those tank and sub games sitting on my favorite army surplus camo blanket.The 2600 was cool too. I still enjoy the flashing color and rainbow scanline palette shift aesthetic.
>initially was developed to be a 2.5D game with gameplay similar to Crash Bandicoot>was originally going to be a fast-paced, proper platforming experience with kong-switching and projectile gun mechanics >18 months into development it got rehauled into being yet another cookie-cutter 3d collectathon with a coat of DK intellectual-property paint>game turns out to be no different than a hypothetical Banjo-Threeie >dev team says its because a DKC styled game "wasn't feasible"Just.. why? And do you honestly buy their reasoning? From a programming standpoint, I just don't see in what world a 2.5D game would be harder to develop than a 3D one.
Oh. My. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
>>12270618Lol no you won't
>>12270497You know you don't have to cook chicken nuggets one at a time, right?
>>12271374Cook?
>>12271360That tells you what each item represents. Doesn't mean you'll have the fidelity to really execute them in the allotted time limit.
Yeah, it's a tough one for sure. When I rented this game as a kid, it took me at LEAST half an hour of attempts before I finally got it. Keep at it OP, you'll get it eventually!
ITT: Games LITERALLY nobody played
>>12269331I did. It was also on the first demo disc so many people played it.
>>12269331I played the demo, so you are liar.
>>12269331I did. Never finished it because the psx has so many great games to play it's easy to get gaming add.
>>12269331Its a pretty good game and has a hot goth mommy antagonist.
>>12270052Is this that PS2 game?
What's your favorite bit of made-up-in-localization bullshit?For me, Sonic 2's Roaming Romans certainly springs to mind.
>>12259837Damn this must be the first time I've seen that meme posted on 4chan, its like 20 years old.
>>12269912>"Ironic" is probably the intended versionYeah 皮肉 is definitely irony here.>frank I think the Gemini version is a little floweryThat fits with the japanese I think. Actually fits with how it's written in jap not cope justification of the translation.
>>12269912>To be frank I think the Gemini version is a little flowery.In fairness, that's probably precisely because of the intricate text timing.I still don't know why they rendered "Red Rust" (アカサビ) as "Rusty Sword". The weird thing is that Grimoire of Souls apparently calls it the Rusty Sword, so was that a nod to the fan translation?Anyway, I'm sure most people know this one, but Super Castlevania IV was marketed as a sequel in the west when it's actually just another retelling of the original Castlevania, just like Vampire Killer, Haunted Castle, and Chronicles.
>>12260114>>12261307Never play any DKC game, it'll drive you to kill yourselves
>>12271551Wasn't DKC actually originally written in English. Because an english studio developed this.
>less buttons than their previous controller >no second analogue stick>No 6 buttons layout>Shitty d-pad>Lack of R2/L2>Lack of select button>Lack of R3/L3The Dreamcast controller lack one joystick and 5 buttons compared to the Dualshock!!!Didn't Sega think about multiplat games?
>>12271297you need a classic controller to play most if not all n64 vc library on the wii 'cause wiimote lacks an anal stick and some buttons.wii is le wurst compaired to dc omg tendies in shambles on suicide watch1!!
>>12271297Wii pro controller has more buttons
>>12271306dc keyboard has way more
you make this thread every week
>>12271258What popular games/genres called for dual analog sticks, and extra triggers?I can see the desire for a 6-button setup, as fighters were pretty well established by then.
Do I have to unlock the final dungeon and beat it in one go? Also what items should I give to the thing holder guy? And what's the angel rifle for? The game is way harder without the tutorial dungeon.
>>12267076I know you can't beat it in one go but specifically do you have to go into the laboratory, get the crystal thing from the clones, give it to the lady on bf2 and then go through the whole dungeon doing all the story events in one go?
>>12269349Yeah once you've been into the lab you can do it all in one run iirc
>game looked interesting but saw the angel imagery>immediately wonder if it's your usual "kill God game">maybe not, I'll ask in the thread>immediately see >>12266761well lmao
>>12270893If you play it you will see that it's not what you think lmao
>>12269012the ps2 version is gay and retarded anyways
Why is this the only atari thats ever talked about? wasnt there a 5200 and a 7800?
>>12269428Wrong thread, retard, go be stupid over here: >>12262587
>>122651935200 has good games but shit hardware.7800 has ok games and ok hardware.
>>12269428
>>122651935200 is only twice as good as 2600. and 7800 is only 3 times as good. but 2600 is infinitely times more good than what came before it, which was 0
>>12265193i rarely see 2600 discussion either. people just dont talk about this era of console games that much at all because there isnt really much to talk about. most games were very simple, fleeting experiences. even the more grandiose titles (montezumas revenge, pitfall) just werent that great and usually had some combination of poor controls/movement. vintage hot rods will always be popular but no one gives a shit about model T's anymore

>>12271527true, that's a steep increase for the same capabilities
>>12267010I really appreciate the aesthetics of those cutout lines. But I don't need a 2-button verti.
>>12271591For an FPGA gameboy I think I'd prefer the FPGBC since it uses gameboy color shells.
>>12271598I really wish they'd somehow work out the running too fast problem with those so I can get one already
>>12271606Is that an issue in the 1.14 firmware?
So far, the forest dungeon feels like the worst design, with a softlock that force a reset. The fire dungeon is too linear, while the water dungeon is abstract but still enjoyable. The top three dungeons are the Deku Tree, Spirit Dungeon, and Shadow Dungeon. The game itself isn’t that great, yet it established the “3D Zelda formula,” which I thought was bad from the start when I first tried Twilight Princess. Some zelda zealots claim Majora’s Mask is better, though I haven’t played it, despite growing up with the N64, GameCube, and Xbox. Back then, there was a debate among kids over which was the greatest game between Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII, while older faggots swore by Shenmue, a game that felt boring to any kid.What’s your opinion on Ocarina of Time?
>>12271585>Anyone that complains about dumb garbage like this has never actually played video games in a genuine human a capacityI didn’t. I spent an hour exploring before resetting it because I couldn’t figure out how to straighten that path since that silver-eyed switch kept shut. I played without any guides and ended up spending almost two hours fishing for that scale. It took me 47 hours to 100% it without any help.>over 40 yearsYou're almost 50 years old, yet you still keep making assumptions and projecting yourself.You said it wasn’t possible to softlock the forest dungeon and assumed I was talking about a key. I bet you’re projecting, probably missing that key at the very start, which is easy to do since the noise of a Skulltula practically invites exploring the high ground.>retarded aspergers transgenderWatch out for those projections, old man. No one is mentioning degenerates, yet they seem to occupy your thoughts completely. I hope you find peace.
>>12271596>angry seething trannoid speedrunnerYeah, just not interested in the fact you can't enjoy video games and it makes you pound the table in rage and try to take it out on other people who do. Nobody needs a retarded "review" from some underage dumbshit.
>>12271554>Remember that twisted hallway where you shot the silver-eyed switch to straighten it? You’ll need to reset the game, or you won’t be able to reach the third ghost.You can just shoot the eye again to re-twist the hallway, retard.
>>12271592>Shoot the eye switch again to toggle the twisting hallWHAT?! KEK, I didn't! I ended up spending a lot of time wandering around. I wish I had known that.>A proper new game+ that fixed these issues would've been great for the game. They dropped the ball extremely hard with Master Quest which in some cases was easier than vanilla and you still couldn't skip any dialogue/cutscenes.I was about to mention Master’s Quest; I didn’t know it was easier for anyone who had mastered OoT. What do you think of MM? I’m about to play it for the first time.
>>12271597>Yeah, just not interested in the fact you can't enjoy video gamesI do enjoy games, that's why I play them and discuss them here.>Nobody needs a retarded "review" from some underage dumbshit.Did I write a review? Wait, do you think my post even counts as a review?>from some underage dumbshitJust because you're older doesn't mean I'm a underage.
Is Harvester worth playing?
>>12270342Wrong, I haven't watched Jacksepticeye even once since I was 12, in 2015. All Youtubers are bad like him.
>>12270867So true, except all of us loved him in Dispatch of course, haha such a goated banger game.
>>12263531I watched it on some stream and it looked unreasonably edgy(not in a good way)
>>12271307triggered
>>12270267>first 30 minutes is just posting clips from the gameNice "analysis"
I just started Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time and I'm already in love.
This battle is absolutely ridiculous.The assassins have high accuracy charm that they will always cast on Ramza plus 100% accurate dead and stop attacks on top of having summons. Their monsters all cast petrify that is high accuracy too despite their low faith.
Lol
Man, I hate this shit so much.
