The game is not bad but it would be a lot better if the characters were fully 3D in the N64 version.

I fell for the meme.
The D-pad on this thing is garbage, and you guys are unironically retards. I'm retarded for believing what I read on 4chan, I guess

Why can't manufacturers make a D-pad feel on par with the original SNES at least? NES D-pad was even better. PSX had a better D-pad. And that was thirty fucking years ago.

This piece of shit can't be used if you want precise inputs. Forget about fighting games. Forget about Sabin's blitz inputs.
I've had mine for only a couple weeks and it already feels de-synced.
Comfort level? Hahaha... no. You like clacky noise?

For the love of God, where can I get a good fuckin D-PAD

ftfy. This is /vr/
>b-b-but... fighting all the same a-a-and...
No, they're not. Modern games are fine-tuned to modern d-pads, so they work fine with them. Retro games don't give a fuck and often consider everyone and their mother have a professional fighting stick at their disposal. You need a better and *different* kind of d-pad younger people use.

For some reason, this reminds me of that special C&C Generals version for the Germany where suicide bombers of GLA faction (and I think some other units) were replaced by literal beep boop boop robots.

It was different all over Europe.
In Poland, homemade clone of NES called Pegasus was sold, taking advantage of the lack of Nintendo's official presence on our market. Tons of games you could buy for silly money, which most likely didn't have the authentication chip.
There was some Sega Genesis presence early on, which was later on basically completely replaced by PlayStation.
I've never even heard of SNES being a thing in Poland.

Europe did that a lot, Contra is infamous for being turned into "Probotector" there, where everyone was changed into robots.

This makes Contra: Hard Corps laughably stupid since originally the game let you choose if you wanted to play as a guy, a girl, a werewolf with a gun-arm, or a robot. Meaning in the UK version you can choose between playing as... a robot, a robot, a robot wolf, or a robot.

(Notice how the effect of morping the face between the man and the woman looks very messed up in the UK version despite the fact that it's supposed to just be morphing between two identical looking robots, the robot is basically morphing into a human face only to snap back into being a robot, practically looks like the soul of the original character is trying to escape)

Though it didn't escape to the US unscathed either. The original Japanese version of the game had a life bar, this was removed in the US version to make it one-hit kills... without re-adjusting the difficulty.

On pcsx2 using any hardware renderer if I move up the river to the next screen it shows but starts flickering black and then the emulator crashes. Does this happen to anyone else or is it because of my autistic Loonix setup?
>>
>>11394060
Ps2 is a great console
The limitations of the hardware caused most developers to focus on style over realism. Once ps3 came out everything was brown and gay and boring

Also happened to me, had to switch to software renderer to go up that river, but only the first time, switched back to hardware and went through that place many times after, and it worked fine.

>>11394249
If you wanted to play arcade Capcom games, you'd do an optimal setup already and then posted here a discussion about the games themselves instead of wasting time on asking here about whether they are arcade perfect or not. You just have autistic interest in these ports for some reason.
BTW they cost a lot so I guess you have to go through the hassle of burning the cds too.

RE1.5 and Parasite Eve 2 are more direct results of RE1.
>>
>>11392743
The Resident Evil series becomes a flash in the pan if RE2 ends up flopping or significantly underperforming RE1. RE2's performance greenlit RE3, Survivor, CV, & Zero. RE1 was a phenomenon in its own right, but RE2 took that momentum and willed into existence literally every other "classic" Resident Evil game.

since theres no RE2 without RE1 RE1 is just as responsible for these other games.

2 and 3 were amazing for their own reasons. 2 had the best maps, best BTB experience by far. But competitively, h3 wins by a longshot and the gameplay was tuned perfectly. also had great maps. getting my 50 by myself in team slayer felt like a badge of honor. people respected the hell out of you. if you got your 50 in mlg you could compete professionally, those guys were insanely good.
