>>12321365>built for BWC>>12321458that's just uncle ruckus
>>12321407Thats why this shit would never fly today. They'd have to make her justified about everything instead of just being misguided and overprotective to the point of authoritarianism leading to prejudice. In fact, Modern fallout would just have someone nuke Vault City for being too successful and you'd never meet her, just people who worship her regardless without context to how awful she was.FO2 gets a lot of shit for starting the pop culture shit, but at least it still had a lot of DNA from 1.
>>12321365She just needs some correction. BWC correction.
Why is this one considered a good Metroid?They took away everything that made Metroidvanias great: exploration, environmental storytelling, optional content and learning how to navigate the world.All for a completely linear game with TLDR walls of text from Samus, the AI continuously pestering and handholding you and shitty proto-soulslike bosses.Zero mission on the same console felt much stronger than this.
>>12321129Linearity isn't a binary thing, games can be more or less linear than one another. Fusion hard locks its progression more than the other games in the series did, which mostly affects sequence breaking, but particularly railroads the player a lot more than the others. Even games like Metroid 2 had more non-linearity in how each section you were forced to go to had more variety in how it could be approached.
>>12314923There's issues with Metroid 2 but controls aren't one of them, I don't see how you can say that. It's hard to go back to 1 after playing 2.
>>12321129fusion completely lacks navigation at the level of where do I go? what do I do? am I in the right area? in fusion you always know that you're roughly on the right track>ok I just need to feel out this handful of corridors and I'll find the objective>ok I know I'm done here besides optional collectables, time for adam to tell me where to gosuper doesn't have you backtracking across the map much but just a bit of obfuscation there goes a long way to make navigation feel like a more substantial process.
>>12323056tldrpeople aren't really complaining about linearity as much as the navigation puzzle aspect of the game being streamlined.
>>12323060>the navigation puzzle aspect of the game being streamlined...with linearity.
That and figurines, frames, plushies, etc. Do you extend your love for games that way or would you rather use the money to buy more games/consoles.
>>12313927This, sets for kids cost around the same when I was a kid. It's the nostalgia milking sets that are hyper expensive for what they are because they know basedacks will pay up.
>>12312346Tried collecting the FF7 Bring Arts figures but they're like $250 (Australian) a pop so that didn't last.

>>12321718>ROTATING DRUMS - These can cause much grief, but there is a knack to make them work in your favour. Stand in the centre of a drum and push up and down rapidly on your joypad. This will create large gaps, just big enough for Sonic to get through.Push up and down rapidly? Does that work?
Amazing drop.
The Japanese covers for these games are art that belongs in a fucking museum. The American covers aren't great but aren't terrible. But the EUROPEAN covers, are A FUCKING WAR CRIME. Whoever is responsible for those should be tried for crimes against humanity.

>>12321150Europeans man... and what is that rating system? Whoa dude, a 3 year old can play this game? A 30 year old would have trouble getting above D rank for Chrissakes.

Yellow Switch Palace is the reward for playing Yoshi's Island 1.If playing 2 players, then player 2 must go ahead and play Yoshi's Island 2 before the Yellow Switch Palace.It's the law.

You know, something occured to me recently:Back in ye olden days, competant Devs would shit out a game that would sell enough copies to pay their rent for 2 years and keep the lights on at their publishers for the same time, in the span of just 7-10 weeks on the regular. Take the A2600 ports of Donkey Kong, Defender, Space Invaders, etc.Why do we have indie devs taking YEARS to get out games that sell just as many copies but have more of an impact on the niche zeitgiest, 40-50 years later? Is it just because the tech now is more demanding of a solo dev to work in complex assets to a prebuilt engine? Is that really more difficult than programming artwork, mechanics, etc all via assembly and restricted under extreme size constraints?
Depending on the studio, some indie operations could just be side jobs for some of the crew. The market was also different, like kids today make things in their intro to game design courses which could indeed have been sold as a full fledged game back in the 70s to early 80s, in terms of content, but nowadays they'd be lucky to sell 2 downloads for $2 each. The barriers to entry are lower, the tools are better, so the end result is the floor moves up. Just like 3D modeling, where if you could make a passable model of basically anything back in the early 90s, you were well on your way to a paying job. Nowadays, after picking around with Blender for a year, highschool art kids are able to produce models which exceed the quality of most top tier pro 3D work from 30 years ago.
>>12321791Some games would take close to year like Atlantis and some of the David Crane games. Solaris was started a couple of years before it was finally released so some games did take 2 years to make. Also Audacity games made by Atari devs from back in the day seem to take over 2 years for each one to come out.Yeah sure the first Space Invaders or Dooms sells well buy the next one who makes the same thing barely sells anything even if they took 2 years to make their Doom clone.Now with Phantom Gear, this was due out in 2020 and devs are still finalizing bosses, if they started at the launch of the Genesis they would be releasing after the Saturn launched, probably lazy half assed devs, you could say its not their main job but they were paid for it.Other games that are massively delayed I would guess they may work a couple of hours a day and get distracted by cartoons or something since there is no hard ass boss making them work 8 hours a day.>>12322530I play score chases until the game stops changing, I don't think its acceptable to have the same pacman type level repeat 100 times.
>>12322226yeah I sometimes think about that. 2012 I think is when a lot of the world (west? North America? at least the US) got smartphones. and from there it was downhill into everything being packaged into little clips and shitty mobile experiences. phones kept getting better but honestly my galaxy s2 that I bought with cash USED in 2012 was more powerful than the anbernig handheld I just bought for christmas.its just instead of some world ending apocalypse like people thought the mayans said would happen on 12/21/2012 or whatever, it was a significant % of people getting smartphones
>>12322134Well one of Square's big problems was making a CGI Final Fantasy movie with drab brown aesthetics and dark sci-fi (alien/metroid) setting.
>>12323353yeah and the main girl in that FF movie they were trying to market as like a digital actress for different movies. They put her on the cover of Maxim magazine and had all this marketing budget just behind this CGI actress. trying to make her a "brand". Aki Ross.
Don’t be ashamed, show everybody how dumb you were.I got stuck at this part because I was doing it wrong. Never beat it until years later on emulator.
>>12316212This is more than anything a result of being ESL at the time and not being able to parse out the hints given to us, but my brother and I couldn't figure out for the life of us how to get into River City High and beat the game. We eventually found out through a cousin who had a magazine with tips for the game (IIRC he even mailed us the relevant page since he lived far away), but by then we didn't have the game anymore since we were only borrowing it from a friend of my brother's that he stopped hanging out with. We didn't beat it until years later through emulation.

Sounds like OP has 'Mana Mania', hahaha
>>12320446I don't buy it
evermore was better because it actually had soul.mana 1/2 were the most generic and buggy games I have ever encountered. at least they slightly increased the difficulty in 2 and made the ai less buggy.
What was it like?
>>12323329oh I forgot about that huge faggot Joe Lieberman. can't believe he ever thought to run for president. what an absolute definition of schmuckI remember my older step brother knew all the codes for MK3 on SNES, Scott's stuff, Kool Stuff, it had the one button fatalities, great times.
>>12323214Epic sax guy
>>12323175When it started gaming was mostly for children on a SNES/Gameboy or NES. It had a creamy middle for the houng adult audience with the genesis/PSX/N64 and end with online gaming on tbd dreamcast and ps2 launch titles. No president will ever preside over such a marked progression in gaming, and no other generation will grow up side by side with the technology like kids born in the early to mid 80s did. The 16 years of bush and Obama only see real progression in the monetization of gaming, Clinton presided over a 2d to 3d transition, punctuated by 2 generations experimenting with 2d/3d (3rd/5th) and 2 generations refining 2d/3d. In 92 I would have been playing GI Joe the Atlantis factor on NES, in 2000 I was playing command and conquer ra2 online through dial up. Wish zoomies had better things to look forward than the death of movies with AI and the further destruction of AAA gaming through monetization.
>>12323175It depends on what the meaning of the phrase "what was it like" is.
>It feels just like jumping into the movie toy story!
>good game>guards overlooking water channel force you to carefully consider where and when to surface. water acts as a temporary safety zone for you to gather information and plan while submerged.>bad game where the devs didn't give a shit>guards immediately start sniping you when you come into range even while underwater and you need to memorize paths through trial and error in order to have enough health cushion complete the level
