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".

Is there any reason to play these versions over the PSX originals?

Its the old Windows 95 PC version just patched to get it working on modern systems. Honestly you're better off installing the Japanese version and then using the Classic REbirth patch for more options, quality of life improvements and modding support.

In the GOG version you can change the language to japanese to get the files required for rebirth as well. Rebirth is probably the best way to play. If you have AMD Graphics just make sure to read the troubleshooting section about using dgvoodoo so it works.

I still like playing TF2C but yeah the playerbase sucks and I always have to mute at least 2 children screeching into the mic every time I join a server.
I remember the 2016 beta had deathmatch mode integrated with the usual rotation and I miss it, I liked having an arena FPS breather in between regular TF2 shenanigans.

I hate to admit it, but I like what the game has turned into. I remember playing it during the Orange Box days and thinking it was cool enough but it never kept me hooked. I came back years later, in 2019, with all of these new weapons, cosmetics and features and I was blown away. The game went from a fairly bare bones multiplayer add-on to Half-Shit 2 to one of the greatest games of all time. If you don't get the appeal of riding a tractor around 2fort while a conga line of obese Russian men follow in your wake, then it would be hard for you to understand the appeal, but it really is fun as fuck. There's a ton of depth to the gameplay too, which was vastly more limited in the original incarnation. Mind you I'm the type of cane-waving old man that refuses to play any game made after 2012 and has no social media, and I still can't deny my love of TF2.

The game suffered from a huge bot problem up until the past month, and it is unfortunately soaked with butthurt zoomers and yiff in hell tier furfaggot liberals, but if you can get past this, there is an amazing game to be found. You'll run into all types, but a few times a night you'll stumble onto the "good" crowd and have the time of your life. I don't think the community would have lasted this long if they had stuck with the original formula. Valve has gone the way of Blizzard and turned into a pandering money mill of garbage gacha games but I have to give credit where credit is due and say that their support of a nearly 20 year old game is pretty cool, even if they stopped giving a fuck for awhile. The fact there's a game with several million active players where you won't get banned for saying nigger in the year of our Jesus Christ 2024 is pretty astonishing, and I'm going to ride it out until things become truly gay.

i just don't care.

i peaced out of TF2 when playing the game as intended started to be considered "tryhard behavior". MvM was my last chance & hope for the game but it felt like nobody was playing it and i'm probably one of the 5 or 6 people who actually wants to play vanilla TF2 so i just washed my hands of it and moved on. i miss the TF2 i loved and there hasn't been a game like that since.

If you're talking about notes reseting when you die then imo its only an issue on the last 2 levels, mostly because of the engine room/propeller jiggy and fall damage in click clock wood (I would also add that one jiggy when you have to swim in cold water too because damn that hole is tiny).

Theres just too much shit that kills you in this game, the relaxed comfy exploring is dampered because i know if I pass up even one note I am gonna have to come back and get them all again

just give a jiggy for 100 notes and get rid of the note doors. its like mario 64 requiring you to get the 100 coin star in every stage before fighting bowser--- antithetical to the freedom of player choice these games should be about

I enjoyed the sailing and exploration so much that the "triforce hunt" was basically 90% done by the time the game told me to go do it. In retrospect it was disappointing how many of the islands were small and shallow but on a first playthrough you just can't really beat seeing an island slowly appear on the horizon and grow more and more clear as you approach.

Wind Waker is my favorite game in the Breath and Tears of the Wild Kingdom series. I really like how there aren't fucking shrines everywhere, there aren't gay people, the art style isn't diarhea, the dungeons are designed, the compendium is a figurine gallery, the soundtrack exists, and Zelda is actually fucking hot.

>>11115243
The extra content is awful and the overpowered rewards you get aren't worth the grind. You can quite literally speedrun a New Game+ in the same amount of time it takes to beat the DS extras. The DS version is a major case of "what the fuck were these retards actually thinking?" So much wasted potential.

Black people who play JRPGs are roleplaying as Cloud, not the side character of Barret. He's also taking care of a child that was his presumed-dead friend's child, not his own; he's not really a "single father" it's more like he's her godfather and she was so young when her parents died that she only knows of Barret as her "papa."

IX is absolute shit after the first disc. story goes absolutely nowhere after that, just continually spiraling into nonsense, culminating with the WORST. , most forgettable final boss in any FF. plus Trance Kuja is an absolute fucking joke even compared to easy FF standards, what an incredible disappoint after safer seph and ultimecia. IX fags are just furries and pedos butthurt that normal people think sci fi anime soap opera is cooler than a furfag soap opera.

Thoughts on this? I've never played a SMT game but this looks Pokemon-ish.

What is the best version to play? I've read Light is easier.

>>11115895
Honestly kids are sometimes very devilish. They tend to not have any filters and aren't fully domesticated to societal etiquettes.
>>
>>11109108
Devil Children is the dark ages of SMT. From 2000 to 2003, Atlus committed a lot of ressources to it, and largely stopped producing any other SMT games until SMT3. They blindsided themselves on the state of the community by doing so, and consecutively were caught with their pants down when they released SMT3.

>>11109108
I loved it when I was 11 years old. I was basically in the perfect state of mind to enjoy an edgey Pokemon. Objectively speaking though, the games probably aren't very good.
