Video games ad slogans that quickly aged poorly. Like the Mega Drive's launch games at the ad except Columns, a game that could easily be made for an 8bit console.

Are the prices ever going down?

Back in 2020 you could get a decent 20in PVM for like $150, then I checked a few years back and it got to $400 and now it's like $1000......

You're the fucking retard, how can a game be slop if it's in the top 10 best sellers a whole year before you were even able to purchase the game? That just shows how beloved and popular the game was. Super Mario World is a game people praise yet I fail to see any 1989 best sellers lists with it on them.

Weird take. Casing is mostly empty with hardly anything to do.

I just liked exploring the level with all the secret passages. The next mission doesn't have this novelty in exploration, so even though it's supposed to be more interesting because of increased challenge, I wasn't very interested.

The last level is fine. I dislike the reuse of multiple levels, however.

If the box looks interesting it's worth checking out, and if it's a bust its not a big deal. That's how it used to be done!

Y'all remind me that newer RPGs try to do too much for no good goddamn reason. You want to start up a new game and all of a sudden it's like

"Each of your weapons has an affinity stat that depends on the character it's equipped to and defines stat growth according to the skills used in battle"
"Skill cards are equipped to a skill slot but can't go over the character's skill point limit, any card above the SkPtL receives only 33% of AP after battle" and shit like that. Don't even get me started on "card-based roguelite deck building dungeon crawlers".

There is a 'crystal system' in FFIX. It's for setting automatic abilities like 'bug killer' and 'bright eyes' and 'counter'. It works kind of like an encumbrance mechanic where abilities cost crystal n slots and you have a maximum number of slots that can be used at once.
>>
>>12135084
I miss simply systems like that.
Any games with fun systems like jobs, the PS1 FFs and Grandia?

Why does this drivel get spewed in every fan translation thread? It is simultaneously the stupidest and most entitled thing you can possibly post in this context. Do you also get angry that movie theaters have screenings for films you don't like?

The original version was just way too easy so making the game more difficult in the localization was reasonable. Brahma Force is really underappreciated for how different it is from the western style FPS games. I wish Genki continued making games in this style.

Fucking nerd.
>>
>>12109285
I started with NES and DOS games and I never cared about score at all. Even when I eventually branched out to arcade games I only measured success by the number of levels I could beat, never by the score I accrued. All my friends were the same, we'd talk about which fruits we saw in Pac-Man or how many badges we got in Galaga or how close we got to beating Bison in Street Fighter. Score never once came into any discussion about any game.
