I think its a toss up between Mortal Kombat and Tekken. Whats telling his how both those franchises are still in great shape financially. And how Street Fighter had to dumb itself down to be compatible with the modern audience.

Zoombinis will always be my favorite. I think I mostly just liked customizing them at the beginning and then taking them all the way through to the end of the game, rather than all the stuff inbetween, but I liked the rest of the game too.

Pac-Attack is such a fun and underrated puzzle game
PS1 version is the best

This game was really fun. What are other rail shooters I should play besides Star Fox 64? I just remembered this game was made by the Gram Turismo devs so said
>Fuck it, I'll play it this afternoon
and it was great. Will do hard mode tonight.

Seems like this game has a 3 different soundtracks just like Gran Turismo 2, but in this case it’s just for the intro, credits, and final boss.

Is it the greatest jrpg ever made? Even people that don’t like jrpgs (like me) tend to like it. Is there a single other jrpg that can compete with its aesthetics or atmosphere?

i said Genesis RPGs are more diverse, not JRPGs specifically, which would be stupid because most JRPGs are basically the same at their core. You walk around on a tile grid and a random battle pops up. Usually FF/DQ style battles. Team members join and leave as you progress through the story. The SNES has literally a hundred RPGs like that. Compare that to something like Starflight which is an RPG but does none of those things.

>play on a 3DS with the analog patch for the content-complete definitive version
mario's handling was changed for 64 to be more conducive to the dpad so you're overlaying one change onto another. probably better to just play the pc port.

The other day I was playing pictel and upon seeing this level I came to the same conclusion as OP.
Modern 2D games just don't put effort into the pixel art, it all looks overstylized, overanimated, but hardly any tasteful art or genuine effort, it all seems insincere, like "lol look I maek goofy retro pixel indie gaems xddd", or "serious", stoic games that look like Flash shit.
The only modern 2D game I consider to have effort put into it was Cuphead, but that's an anomaly and also 100% hand drawn stuff, not pixel art.
>>
>>12559918
Forgot pic.
And mind you this isn't even a super big budget game, it's just a normal game - yes, by Capcom, one of the top dogs, but still it was a licensed game, it was peobably made with strict deadlines.
Modern indie devs take decades sometimes, releasing early access and all that jewery and it still looks like shit when they finish it

Similar vibes in picrel. I think you are suffering from cognitive dissonance because there is some truly beautiful modern retro-inspired indie art, but you're just not having it.

That logic is fundamentally flawed once you understand that there's no such a thing as absolute coordinates in the fabric of space.
Not only that, but you're also assuming that time travel must be done through a device that jumps in time, but not in space, which is both presumptuous for assuming that this is absolutely how time travel must work, and yet narrow minded for believing that such a godly contraption capable of bending space-time would have such limitation.

Traveling to the future is possible in theory if you were to move at the speed approaching the speed of light, because time will slow down to a halt from your POV.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

Traveling to the past is impossible though. That's why all the time travel stories have shitty paradoxes and plot holes. The past no longer exists, there's nowhere to "travel" to.
>>
>>12559998
that doesn't sound like you're actually travelling to the future. you're just going so fast that you're basically getting time cucked

why is travelling to the past impossible? aren't there paradoxes and plot holes irl?
>>
>>12559968
It means cryosleep is not happening as a form of time travel.

If you want overrated look at the Xenosaga games.

>>12558747
A great world, lots of interesting ideas and concepts and shit, let down by its development getting fucked for the second half. If anything is overrated it's largely nostalgia goggles rather than legitimate judgment of value, but to those who remember the first half I don't blame them for remembering it fondly.

So this game got translated this month. Some claim it's one of the best survival horror games ever and arguably the best Japanese PS2 game to never get translated.
I got it patched and it's working fine but it seems like the translation flew under the radar. Not even up on Repo after a month.

Anyone played it? It looks dope
