Is there a game with a story akin to Xenogears' and gameplay akin to Disgaea's? I liked both
>>12084471it's still coping!
>>12078554Front Mission has the mechs but it doesn't have all the Jung bullshit
>>12085167Nigga can you read
>>12078590I see.>>12078630Good idea even if I think I won't get even one response there.>>12078632Sorry. I don't post here much anyway, also there's much worse threads on the catalog right now.>>12079581>So, if you're looking for a mature story like Xenogears wrapped in a more "gamey" srpg like Disgaea, desu I'd be surprised if that combo existed in any game before 2007.Ah, okay then. It's all good, thanks for the response.>>12084525I'm not. I had to hide more than half the thread. Should've just used a different image. Oh well, that's just how new /vr/ is like.Comment too long.

>>12087403Nobody cares.
>The game is "inspired by the Vangelis soundtrack" of the 1982 Blade Runner movie. The publisher was unable to obtain rights to the actual movie, so the game was instead said to be based on the soundtrack.[2] The inlay stated that it was a "video game interpretation of the film score".
>>12085123Didn't Westwood's game have similarly vague licensing? Dune 2 is even further away from the book.
>>12085129Both games were published by Virgin based on the same licensing deal. Cryo's Dune was stuck in development hell, so Virgin cancelled it and tasked Westwood with creating a new Dune game for them. Surprisingly, Cryo still finished their game and submitted it to Virgin despite prior cancellation, so Virgin just published two very different Dune games one after another.
>>12085075Less brazen than Prisoner which was an unlicensed adaptation of The Prisoner
>>12085129On top of what >>12085140 said Dune 2 was actually repurposing an ongoing project named... Command & Conquer. It's to the point the actual C&C was named C&C2 in early previews
nice
Somehow.. Ash returned
>>12082768>VLC can'tthat is tragic
>>12079838Characters its very dependant. The playable cast is very one dimensional barring Joshua and Pratau. Joshua is great with some player choice to shape his destiny and Pratau I liked a lot the side cast. Nicola was very interesting and I liked how much of an influence he was on Joshua and eventually Joshua on him. Adele going from her desire to cast aside her noble status as what she saw as a burden to embracing it as she realizes is a position that allows her to possibly positively influence natra.The villains are also interesting for the most part. Though the game only gives them nuance at the end so you mostly see them as generic villains but its okay since its better than them being one dimensional. What I liked about the story is that the actual main bad, Godard, is in the background influencing stuff so whenever something fantastical happens in the mostly political story, it doesnt feel out of nowhere like TO and FFT feels.There is a bunch of interesting political stuff, mostly how the war of succession in Natra is being exploited by the foreign powers and while you dont directly oppose them they still influence the state of the war.I really liked the kid segment. Kids are usually annoying but this kid segment was really interesting to show the character of Joshua and Adele. Though I feel like Clive and to a lesser extent Yuri were wasted. Mostly Clive since he doesnt shows up much and his death feels rushed.Anyways I did really love it. Its been so long since a game hooked me so much. Guess because I didnt grow up with 1, I saw it as its own thing.>>12080172I mean the game starts with a massacre and HEAVILY implied sexual assault. Then does it again later. VH2 is very dark and serious and it has no qualms using imagery to drive the point across.
>>12083803>I mean the game starts with a massacre and HEAVILY implied sexual assault.Rape. It was full on rape. Call it what it is.

I'm almost done with this, can't wait to play 3 since it seems a lot better
>>12078572Low quality bait
>>12078572honestly some of the coolest cover art ive ever seen. Im sure the NA cover is some god fucking awful abomination.
>>12086638It's better than Chrono trigger, almost as good as ffvi and slightly better than earthbound.
>>12086638>psiv on the same level as EB/FFVI/Chrono Trigger?LOL hell no. 4 is tied with 3 as being the worst game in its own series, because being bland is a worse crime than being shit (shit games usually tries to do stuff).
>>12086638Way better than Earthbound. I think it's better than FFVI (I found it underwhelming), Chrono Trigger is better.>>12087316I can't think of anything that would make the first four Phantasy Star games bland.
https://github.com/lifebottle/Tales-of-Rebirth/releases/tag/1.00.9 "beta" released last year but this is the full release. I've personally been waiting for a proper 1.0 so this is exciting for me. It even fixes a save bug from the original game.
>>12085879>duuuude what if like, uh, racism?>except, like, BAD!?>and uhhhh what if like uhhh revenge?>except like, BAD!?>and uhhh what if the MC simps for some chick so hard that he makes it his entire personality?>except like, he can't fucking even tell when she literally gets mind-swapped with some other bimbo?It's atrocious, even by Tales standards. On top of that, it has perhaps the worst front-loading of "z-skits" in the entire series. Trip any story flag at all, and prepare to be bombarded with several repetitive time-wasting skits all at once, never ever spaced out properly or anything.
>>12084249This is bait. The game is total shit.
>>12084249>improved version of the Rebirth battle system.The only way to improve it would be to delete it and replace it with a different battle system entirely. One that doesn't enforce artificial limits on doing basic actions with its stupid ass Rush Gauge nonsense, forcing you to play in a way that is not fun or satisfying. The only reason anyone does shit like this is because they couldn't balance their battle system naturally through things like spacing and movement, and Rebirth feels like fucking sludge in the hands because it has no "real" movement or spacing.Phantasia has a more developed battle system than this shit.
>>12083134Anyone know what happened to the Tales-Cless website? I remember they started a translation of this back in the day.
>>12086283>duuuude what if like, uh, racism?>except, like, BAD!?This series is obsesses with this theme.
Fuck this game. I thought I was stuck so I used a password. Now I can't jump back to where I was, the NPC about the Cross won't even mention the cross even though I have it on me and that shit is required for progression. Now I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to trigger this event so what, am I supposed to go through the entire game again talking to every NPC and retriggering every quest and refighting every boss? Fuck this shit, seriously. Not to mention that half of this shit required for progression is so obscure it seems impossible without a guide.I'm already max lvl too
You're supposed to give the Cross to this faggot right? But when I talk to him he says nothing important. Also the guide says he's supposed to block the path, which he doesn't, he just wanders around out of the way. There is no other NPC around so it has to be this fucker
>>12087112Rough game. I don't know about the quests but the monsters you have to slay respawn on continue so you need to deal with them all in a single session.
so I thought the trigger might have been talking to the Queen of Nana, which mentions this whole quest. I went to get the Jade, and a key, to talk to her. I also killed the boss that hands out the cross (again) and went back to this faggot.Still nothing.I've read TWO different guides and queen Nana and that boss are the only 2 things directly to this whole quest. The only solution would be restarting EVERYTHING over. I'm done. Fuck this shit game.
Holy shit I did it. Here is how>used a password AGAIN>get the Jade, a key, talk to Nana>get another key, talk to the king/queen of Leneira>go get the cross>talk to this faggotThis time it worked and the difference is... before doing all that I got rid of alll the key items I got in the pyramid/dungeon located after this faggot. I think what happened is that since I had those items on me the game thought I had already did all this. The whole issue comes from the fact that in my version this faggot doesn't actually block the bridge, the wanders around (as a result sometimes not appearing at all because he wandered) which allowed me to get to the desert area without handing him the cross. Which lead to a softlock.Glitched game.Now I just need to go back to the pyramids again, to get the items I discarded.
>>12087216Good job anon. Keep going! Ganbatte!
wifi is shitty since tuesday, luckily I had retroarch and a library of games on my phone. I randomly picked this game last nightman it's nice! just done playing 30 mins, obviously will have to continue
>>12084568>Super Chinese 2That title never fails to get a chuckle out of me

>>12084568kino
>>12083240>play for 30 minutes>man this game is goated! i'll have to play again!>never plays again>bonus: probably buys a physical copy immediately after making this post, plays that once and then shelves it forever
In for, what am I?
Do not rush it's a good game if you progress carefully.I recommend cadash (taito arcade) if you like the genre.Rygar (arcade tecmo) is a good choice too but ennemies are more harassing.And go for your zenies with a classic: black tiger / black dragon (arcade capcom)
Play the third game, is the only good one.

What milfs do you like from retro games?
You just reminded me I should look into AI generating retro Sindel stuff
dark queen battletoads.jpgthe old one with the leotard not the new design
>>12086845This is a retro board my nugga and is she a milf? I thought maybe early to mid 30's at most.
>>12086603
This game is strangely addicting despite its shallowness, and I almost have to respect the devotion to keeping the controls so painfully simple. The combat design is purely about spacing and crowd control, with all the challenges and modifiers built around that philosophy. Even without evasive and defensive techniques or supers, it's been fun enough to make me do the missions and want to attempt the hard mode challenge run. I knew it was pretty infamous considering its time and place, but playing it now, I'm thinking it may be quietly a few steps behind Luigi's Mansion. Do you think it deserves it's reputation?
>>12086303I liked it quite well enough. It is simple, somewhat shallow, but it's a beat-em-up, that's par for the course. I never understood why people were so harsh on Ghoulies for it when, at worst, it's only as shallow as the many peers that people much more readily excuse for the same flaws, and Ghoulies at least has a lot more whimsy in its setting and a fun weight to its combat. Few things really stack up to Cooper elbow dropping a Skeleton to pieces, or punting an imp into orbit.I can only assume a lot of it's because "muh Rare, fuck Xbox"
>>12086870>It is simple, somewhat shallow, but it's a beat-em-up, that's par for the courseLiterally not true, tard.
>>12086875Aww witally? It's witally not twue?Too bad, eat shit. The only Beat-Em-Ups that tried were the Capcom Dungeons & Dragons games. Everything else is as shallow as the puddle of drool a slackjawed jizzrag like you spittles out.
>>12086303Insanely boring game, that doesn't even have enough gimmicks to warrant it's length.
>>12086883>This angry over the truthAnd the scariest part? The average beat em up clears your favorite game in terms of difficulty.
Why does the name hide behind the cartridge?
Couldn't even be bothered to use a pic featuring a cartridge?
>>12086753then you couldn't see the name because it hides behind the cartridge
>>12086746That way, if someone asks what kind of console it is, you can pull out the cartridge and throw it at them.
>>12086857We all just called "Sega" because we were entirely unaware of Sega's other systems, and it said Sega on the front and often shouted "Sega" at us when powered on, or at least displayed some variation of the logo.i hadn't even heard of Master System until reading about it in EGM in the 00sSErvice GAmes wasn't consistently calling it Master System until Genesis/Mega Drive was out. Before that, it was often called Sega System or Sega Base System
>>12086871>oftenmaybe if it sold better, everyone knows it otherwise since Sega supported it well
The US and PAL versions of this have been 100% de-compiled for like 2 years, and the JP version has been at 99.41% for a while. When the fuck is someone going to make a port? What the hell was the point of this if you're not going to make anything with these assets? Is it autistic data collection? Helping trannies shave 12 seconds off a speedrun?
>>12082104the decomp was used to make rom hacks because that was the goal all along
>>12082104Is there a way to run the PAL version at proper NTSC speed?
>>12082119ok sure
>>12082104and fags like OP claim they're not entitled
>>12082248It's actually more that the talent for decomp and the talent for making a PC port are actually two separate specializations. There's few people out there that are willing to go through the effort of doing so, and it relies on a lot of autistic passion to achieve.
What's your strategy for beating the boss on the 3rd level?
get the ninja scroll
>>12083229just shoot at it until it dies
There are bosses in this game? O-OI just remember keys and doors (played colecovision a long time ago)
>>12084069Not enough bullets...
...Retro
f*cking EPIC
>>120830914th gen is the last bastion of real retro
