I said pretty clearly right that it was for arcade games and limited continues games that this makes sense, where these would naturally not have casual things like checkpoints. For checkpoint games anyone can beat them without much effort, so strange to care so much about people going about it more intelligently.

>>12374903
can you just admit you prefer cheating in video games instead of framing it like youre an intelligent game dev?

>>12372629
I only talk about qualities of a game itself. It doesn't bother me when fags brag about how easy a game is. There is a dude at work who swears he beat blaster master without any outside help when he was five years old. He is an idiot but I still enjoy playing blaster master

>>12374903
My god. A limited continue is a checkpoint. When you intercede and throw in another checkpoint on top of it you are cheating. You're embarrassing yourself. Just be honest with people.

You wouldn't care about having unlimited continues if it didn't alter the difficulty of the game.

More like "Letting you save == kusoge"

>>12370585
the thing is that gradius in all games it's possible to recover in the first loop where the balanced difficulty is there before scoring autism.

that you cannot recover is a showcase of you not having enough skill than an issue with gradius.

They are cool guys in my book, did some good fighting games.
And yeah their ninja series is unique and fun

The HNK series in particular has always been my favorite, I just wish the SFC version didn't run like ass and their gamble on Flying Dragon in the west paid off more. Meanwhile the game boy ones are some of the best fighting games on the system, even if its a low bar to hit. They've always been a creative company, even if rather unorthodox at times.

>>12374096
Many such cases. It's a bit of a selection bias. If a game couldn't be made for N64 because of texture size, rom size, etc, there is no comparison that can be made.
On the other hand, if it's truly-multiplatform capable the N64 was usually the stronger platform. This is a game that does not require a large rom size, and doesn't actually have much in the way of textures. (most models are shaded polygons) So, it's really easy for the N64 to excel in this particular case. (also, techno translates to MIDI much better than many other genres of music)

>Robotron 2084

How come they made so many Robotron games if nobody bought them?

Never gave this a chance because of the unappealing protagonist.

I spent Saturday night ghosting a girl that wanted to hang out to get drunk alone and emulate PMD games. I ended up pissing myself at some point before blacking out. I found my piss soaked boxers on the kitchen floor and woke up naked on my couch.

I've posted about this before, but here it is again.
In Herc's Adventure on PSX, there's a spot at the beginning of the game where you can get 10 of each weapon plus Gyro's, which somewhat jump-starts the beginning of the game. Not a huge difference, but it does cut down on some of the early-game grind for gold and gyros. Right before the first locked door you encounter, directly down of the door, is a hidden passageway you can only go through in pig form, that leads to two signs that will give 10 of each weapon and gyro's each. The problem is, you don't have pig potions yet and there's nowhere to buy them, and once you pass a certain point, there's no way back here.
The solution is to head back to the start of the game using the nearby catapult, and fighting your way back to the catapult again. There's some exact pattern of looping IIRC, but eventually a stone wall near the start vanishes, and you find another giant guarding two pig potions.

i actually encountered something just yesterday while playing mk2 on mame with shang tsung. i tried to do the fatality where he goes into you and explodes you by holding high kick for 2 seconds then releasing. i didnt think i had enough time to do it but i went for it anyway and instead he did the kintaro morph fatality, which normally requires you to hold low punch for 30 seconds. ive played this game so much and have never seen the wrong fatality happen. not sure what caused it, some kind of glitch related to input holds i guess. another rare fatality glitch is when you do scorpion's toasty as fast as possible (say you end the round with a high kick, which moves the opponent back into the fatality range and then instantly press up, up to do it) and there will be this flourish kind of sound effect that normally does not play (i think it gets overrided by the "finish him" announcement or something). i think theres at least one version of the game (midway treasures maybe) that actually plays this sound effect every time.

If you walk back to the destroyed village after beating the Dragonlord in Dragon Warrior 1 you can speak with the spirit of Garin.

On that note, there's a seldom seen cutscene if you walk over to one of the other towns on the southern continent in the WoB in FF6 after the airship crashes. I forget exactly when, but you basically have zero reason to travel that way. If you do visit, you'll find Cid trying to assist Setzer in repairs.

Not really that obscure because it's been known for years, but the "Missingno." glitch in GB Pokémon that allows you to increase the amount of items you have in your inventory. Missingno. was never meant to do that.

I remember playing a summonancer at launch and my whole skelly army died to a yeti unique in the monastery. Figured the class was useless and played another.

Then recently I gave summonancer another shot and holy crap my army wrecked everything. Even Bhaal was a complete pushover. Don't know what the devs did but skellies are so good now

sorceress. you suck ass initially but toward the end of normal you're basically an unstoppable god.

>>12373798
If I am honest it's completely dependent on what you mean, a fully geared barbarian is probably the easiest to play bit getting to that point legitimately is a nightmare. Paladin would be the other option everyone says as they are far less gear dependent but they definitely require more skill to play. Personally I think the Sorceress is the easiest especially for a new player, she still requires a bit of skill but she has a ton of strong abilities and requires pretty much no gear to do well.
All the other classes are still strong and you could honestly do fine with any of them if you learn them and I would argue it's more important that you click with the class.
For instance Amazon is quite powerful in her own right but I just do not enjoy playing as one at all and suck as one.

Normalfag kids would talk about the anime and show off their cards around 1998-1999. Product placement was everywhere and the hype peaked around the Mewtwo movie release. Some kids played RBY, but they never went past beating the E4 and often gave their games away without caring about Pokedex completion.

But honestly, it was mostly just kids being assholes and stealing Game Boys, cartridges and cards from each other. Kids would "borrow" games and never give them back, or "loan" them to someone else. It got banned fast in some schools around here.

>>12374874
>You will never understand
Judging by how you can't explain it aside from "it was super immersive guys" you never did either. Most experiences and nostalgia bullshit here still pertain to kids today in a slightly different context. Like a 10-year old that attended VGC or beat all the 40-year old manchild scalpers for a Prismatic Evolutions box? It's the same core memories.

The tool's name is:

It's quite old but really all it does is allow you to look around the GTA 2 maps. The game itself uses fully 3d buildings, you'll find a surprising amount of detail was put into these.

It's romhack-tier "content". Its not even the only problem, like how the rainbow effect on the emerald track became over the top headache inducing.
Doesn't help that nowadays to play on modern PCs people go for the """""""definitive version""""""""" that even changed the song of the vs the robots matches which sounds like shit and clashes massively with the rest of the soundtrack.

I'm done putting up with ignorance. Sonic R on the Saturn is THE Sonic R version, it's not some shoddy port, it was literally designed for it. The PC version is the revisionist edition, like how George Lucas went back and added shit to Star Wars post release ruining it in the process.
