Losing 30 mins or more of progress and having to replay extremely simplistic sections again just to get back to the sections that caused difficulty.Also the stuff everyone can agree on like off-screen or unpredictable hazards, bad hitboxes, unclear hurt boxes or expectations, slippery or bad or inconsistent controls.
>>12712967What does the reddit frog have to do with that?
I replayed the game and tried some things with it but I just got let down about the later half of the game.The first half before you arrive to the harbor is goty and maybe it's more in close quarters and grounded compared to later levels? Talking about gameplay but the settings also feel better because it's not just bunkers and commandos.
>>12714545I think part 3 suffers how you can just use the pinpoint accurate colt commando for everything and half or more enemies have it too + more long range combat. They do introduce the jackhammer at one point which is limited but cool and closer to early part of the game where the guns aren't most accurate except deagle for some reason.
>>12714008I'm thinking the carage level could be salvaged if it ran other way around where you start from bottom and go up because fighting uphill is more challenging and you would also actually have to fight the black van with turrets. Even just a minimalistic fight but something. The source maps for levels have been reverse engineered the last I checked.
>>12715432And I know story wise no sense because BB is supposedly trying to flee but he's not even fleeing most of the time but actively waiting for you.
>>12713990Hmm… just realised that the name «Max Payne» might have a double meaning. It’s his name, but it might also have been meant as «Max Pain». As in Maximum Pain. If this is the case, it’s a cool hidden meaning made by the devs. Am I overthinking, or am I onto something here?It would be really cool if this hidden meaning would be found after so many years. But I’m probably reaching. It just seems to fit so well.
>>12716206They first registered the name Max Heat and 15 minutes later someone came up with Max Payne. There's an easter egg tv show/ad in MP2 where Max Heat is some porno.
>The game sucks because... there's a lot of content
>>12712581>There's a lot of contentIs that why half the bananas were just back tracking to a kong barrel, going back to where you were and hitting a switch?
>>12712581Okay, it has a lot of content, but is most of the content any good or fun?
>>12715839Yeah, they were cramped, but unnecessarily long.
>>12715842It's definitely harder than getting so many points in Jetpac if you know how to cheese Jetpac, but still not that hard.
>>12715842I think you're getting at something.Most of the contrarians don't have the patience to actually play through the game the way it was meant to be played in 1999. So they couldn't possibly have had the patience to 1cc arcade DK twice without guides or vids. It's easy to see how they would have gotten filtered back then without those things.
Halo completely revolutionized FPS, and it was a console shooter. You can't name anything else on the PC that used similar lighting effects (such as the flashlight) before Halo in 2001. I doubt you'll find one. It's so funny that Halo was used to advertise the NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS and then that graphics card literally couldn't run Halo. Most GPUs were intentionally gimped out of Shader Model 2.0 and couldn't play Halo PC with specular highlights and bumpmapping. Gearbox had to potato-ify or remove many of the graphical effects when they ported the game to PC. Gearbox needed to write a fixed function renderer to support older 3D cards. Shaders had to be toned down for DX8 back then, the PC DirectX lacked a ton of calls present on the Og Xbox's DirectX.
>>12713874Fascinating>The three things OG has over the gearbox port are the exact three things that would need re-written anyway if we got the Xbox source, these being netcode, sound and graphics. This effectively means the Xbox source would give us nothing for a new PC port.>As mentioned, sound is tied to special Xbox only hardware, the renderer is custom Xbox only d3d8 and the netcode does not exist.>You are not going to magically get Xbox shaders on PC with the Xbox source code, you are going to need to make a renderer that works on PC first. >This can just as easily be done with the Gearbox source.>The gearbox source could trivially have everything done by Chimera applied to it. This is true purely because binary hacks like Chimera are essentially doing that anyway, but in a much harder and cumbersome way.>Gearbox engine is based on old build of Xbox engine. And Gearbox engine simply doesn’t has some features(directional lightmaps, plasma shaders, etc)>Microsoft told them to support fixed function GPUs>and for some of the issues, there is no other explanation I can think of besides Gearbox having only an older tagset>Gearbox was given an August 2001 build. the Halo Xbox retail XBE was compiled on the 12th of October>Shaders had to be toned down for DX8 back then, the PC DirectX lacked a ton of calls present on the Og Xbox's DirectX, others were caused because of the game being based on outdated source code and some due to their incompetence.>The environment_reflection_bumped_radiosity shader doesn't get used in HPC and MCC (The pixel shader itself is also just a dummy shader). It actually does stuff on Xbox. It would affect shader_environment tags where the reflection type is set to bumped radiosity. I'm not sure whether any of the stock tags actually have it set to that.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>12706708Microsoft just gatekept the latest Nvidia's technolgy from late 2001 for a while. It was likely a very expensive deal to make the Xbox appear to be revolutionary early on.Again, just Microsoft being Microsoft. Just buying their way, in a dishonorable manner.
>>12706242I like quake, doom, counter strike, df1,2 and jk2I enjoy duke3d.Whats good about halo? Whats the best way to play it today? I havent played it.
>>12716413It's a lot more casual compared to those games. You're slow and there's auto-aim, but the lore is pretty cool. I guess The Master Chief Collection would be the easiest way to play it today.
>>12706558So it's a better game? Quake 3 was a death match arena where you hold 50 weapons, while Halo introduced a 2 weapon swapping system
I find it fascinating how the Japanese interpreted black people in retro videogames. They're all depicted as savages or comic relief.
>>12716130Enter!>>12716120He appears in 2 right? Or was that another black guy?>>12716075Barret was probably the most mainstream one back then.
>>12716098>CavalloIt's Kabalo
Shadow Man is cool.The game looks tedious as shit however.
>They're all depicted as savages or comic reliefJust like real life
Surprisingly, the campaign wasn't that hard. Solid experience. Nice way to cap off the PS1 era of Crash after the brutal platforming trilogy (don't see a point in playing Crash Bash solo).If it didn't have a dedicated single player mode, would it still be better than Mario Kart 64, /vr/?
Decided to clear CTR like OP tonight, intending to do relics/tokens next.38% doesn't sound very clear but I did just beat Oxide, so the game is barely over 1/3rd done! They really wanted you to get back in there and do everything. It's telling how many levels are null grey dots on the map that tell you that you're missing out on stuff to do. I've completed every challenge in CTR in the past so I'm aware of how much meat it is, but it's nice to see the developers were also telling you to do that stuff too, you didn't even see half the game.
>>12712106I got 101% back in December/January and was going to do the N.Tropy Trials, then my chink PS1 memory card bailed on me and corrupted all of my saves. Got so mad I still haven't started a new save file.
>>12710654Is this the one where you can unlock black crash? I haven't played it in ages.
I got a little sloppy but still hit platinum time after the bonus (I was 1 sec over before bonus.)One of the greatest tracks in the genre, and the first great track of the game.
>>12716331papu's pyramid, n gin labs, and cortex castle are the hardest to platinum

I’ve seen both emutrannies and newgen toddlers fetishizing this look but in reality scanlines are not visible on whatever type of CRT is used unless you sit really close, and even then it’s mostly a result of the TV being photographed. I have never ever in my life seen scanlines on a CRT unless I pixelpeep, this simulacrum of people seeing CRTs online first instead of in person is really damaging a whole generation of emutrannies flooding this board

SONIC CompactDiscOriginal 1993 one.As devs intented.
>>12714025Realistically, if you had to change the sega CD laser, you probably would only need to do it once.1993 fun is infinite
>>12714028What Chinese laser clone are you buying that doesn't break
>>12714032Which one are you buying that breaks in weeks?
>>12713970I think the Japanese (+Euro) soundtrack is more true to the game. Since every zone sort of has a common melody for each, but in the Japanese version the time variations stick with that common melody but remixes to the time. Past would be more heavier on the percussion, bad futures would be more industrial-electronic sounding, good futures have a softer-smoother feel to that basic melody. I'm not trained in any sort of musical lingo or whatever, so maybe I am not describing it right, but the point is there's more of a theme in the Japanese music every zone follows. I still like the North American versions of the songs, but the consistency of the Japanese version's music makes it more of the definitive way to experience the best of the franchise.
>>12714065Happens with the ps2 laser clones

How was it to be a kid at the peak of 90s Nintendo?
>>12715685I didn't really think about it, I think we all took it for granted. Plus I was obsessed about trying act "cool" and "old" in front of other kids and I saw Nintendo as kind of cringe and childish, similar to Barney or PowerRangers . I remember thinking Playstation 1 games and Dragon Ball Z was where it was really the fuck at and I regret that a ton because I missed out on Zelda OOT and other cool games. At least my grandma had mario 64 so I remember vividly playing that and NBA Hangtime a lot.
Uh, considering zoomers rip us off about every single thing, you tell me
>>12715685Always had eyes on our neighbors paper."It can't be better...we have goldneye and mario kart."It was in fact better.

Should of GTA always had stats?
>>12714513>>12715467Its an annoying set up. I just put in the cheat code to breath under water and just swam like a 45 mins under water
>>12715935The majority of American women are trashy hoes
>>12715964it takes you like 4-6 minutes to do it without any codes by just swimming underwater until CJ gets 2 breath upgrades
It was pretty fucking novel at the time. SA is a masterpiece
>why does the game force you to grind swimming underwater when this is the first 3d game in the series that lets you swim in the water?lmao, you just weren't there
