Why do people still keep a game collection for a console they modded to play games off storage?

Outdated or not, we still prefer to have our own copies of games that we've always wanted when we were kids. If we want to enjoy those games digitally while owning physical games, that's our business. Not yours. I highly doubt anyone wants a copy of Wolverine Adamantium Rage for the Sega Genesis. I do because I love me some bad comic book games that I can then use cheats for to beat the game and enjoy the music.

Still not answering what Black does well outside of spectacle, nothing at all has been said of the gameplay. If the game is only good because of sound design and because you can see how things react to damage, I maintain that you can experience everything good about it on youtube, no need to play it.

If you have to turn on single fire (which I obviously did too) in a run and gun game just to hit that 1 headshot by tapping from far away, it does halt the flow quite a bit. If the ratio was even like 5 headshots and 50 body shots, then it would make sense to just keep shooting but aiming at the general direction of chest/head area.

I don't actually think that having bullet sponge enemies by itself has to be bad design but it depends.

>>12390383
Alright that's something. I'm not an expert on the timeline or all of the games mentioned but it's possible. Developers do play and know of lesser known games.

Another example is that GTA IV has the circle wanted level from Scarface game and the extended injured or dying animations for enemies from Godfather game.
>>
>>12389053
Yeah... for like the first level. Then it's the most repetitive slog ever made, with unskippable cutscenes.
Good thing you freaks will never bother finishing it.

>>12390348
You're right about FPS not being my primary genre (sadly good strategy games are far and few between) that being said as a trve Gamer(tm) I play all genres of games and I've played hundreds of fps across a dozen systems. Most are shit but some are definitely better. You're correct that the spectacle and "feel" of everything is important, while I whole heartedly disagree with the shotgun sentiment I do acknowledge that black has an epic assault rifle, the sound design is one of the few things black does very well, but that doesn't save the game.
By the time I got around to actually playing black, sometime around 2009 or so the military shooter craze was in full swing, combined with having already played games like FEAR and Mercenaries (not to mention all the "next gen" games) a lot of the WOW factor was gone for me. Maybe I missed the boat on this one, it's never been a "bad" game but it has always been held as an 8/10 or 9/10 game when it's more like a 5/10.

It's the game that killed the Sonic momentum for me. I was on board with the Sonic hype since day 1 with Sonic 1, but 3D Blast was the one I didn't actually buy after trying it at the game store.
I much rather play NiGHTS back then, I kind of understood Sonic had run its time naturally and welcomed the new Sega effort, too bad most people didn't

>>12390957
It's not Collector because Forever cut the soundtrack down by over half. Maybe they're the tracks that don't have legal issues?
The extra levels are all custom fan submissions from back in the day made in Rayman Designer (the official level editor). Otherwise the DOS version of Rayman isn't all that notable besides replacing one of the Band Land areas and restoring Breakout. It's mostly close to the PSX version except missing a few graphical effects and the top and bottom of the screen were cut slightly compared to PSX/Jaguar/Saturn.

Capcom had a great working relationship with Sega on the Saturn which continued with the Dreamcast. Not only was the For Matching Service titles exclusive to Japan, they were online direct to customer releases on the Dreamcast.

I have the double impact sf3 for dc and it was the only way I had played sf3 until 3rd impact was released on psn for the ps3. It was a good port but I never saw an aecade machine with sf3 all of high school/college. I have no idea if it was a good port but I played the fuck out of it.

Think about it, Sonic CD came out in 1993 a year after the highly successful Sonic 2, you'd think the sensation around Sonic was so large that people would be shilling out money to play this new game on new SEGA hardware, no?

What proper video games? You had Megadrive games with +2 levels, or Megadrive quality games with CD Audio Elevator Music (Earthworm Jim, the Ecco ports, Sonic CD), you had scaling titles that ran at 10fps and you really couldn't tell what the fuck was going on never mind that the Megadrive could do it using pre-scaled sprites, and you had... FMV games. Which NOBODY saw on consoles before.

Like imagine you were playing the NES before, where every sprite had at best 3 frames of animation. Then your parents buy you a Sega Genesis + Sega CD for Christmas and you start playing any game whatsoever and a MOVIE rolls up on the screen. And it's interactive, the movie changes endings depending on what you do. Or you can even make your own music videos. You don't even have to watch Music TV because you can literally make your own Music Videos.
>>
>>12388729
>What proper video games?
Sonic CD, Terminator, Final Fight, Lunar 1&2, Popful Mail, Snatcher, Lords of Thunder, Shining Force CD, basically that quality of game but more. Even if it is not revolutionary or can't do all that much compared to Mega Drive except play audio, at least they are actual games. PC Engine CD went this route and saw success.
>and you had... FMV games. Which NOBODY saw on consoles before.
And flopped hard because they were trash. You can larp about how excited some kid could be on Christmas but the reality is that people pulled back the curtain on FMV games pretty quickly and realized there was nothing there worth their time or money.

The Mega Drive wasn't really popular in Japan and neither was Sonic. It is still a fantastic game that needed more time, by now it is a lot more loved than it was then thanks to all the ports.

Was going to pick up this gem but noticed some eBay sellers, selling the Japanese version for far cheaper. Was just wondering if the game is one of those that’s mostly in English anyway so would picking up the Japanese version make any real difference? Also DoA volleyball thread. We rented it for the boobs and then discovered it’s actually a fucking awesome party game that got mixed in our (my friend group) rotation like Mario kart 64, MvC 2, Mario party, Tiger woods 04 and several others that im forgetting atm.

I enjoy playing it, I was never that much into the booba aspect but I still appreciated it. Managed to play versus a few times but people were cracking up laughing playing it which I can't blame them. We went back to playing some regular DoA. Amazing series up to 3, managed to get people who don't play fighting games have fun and get into it a little when we organized some competitive matches for a 4pack of beer. Shame it went down the shitter after.

I just ordered both for 20 bucks from a japenese eBay seller. My og Xbox is modded. I want a tricked out 360 modded w an ace chip so I can basically replace my og Xbox which has thousands of retro games from a lot of the huge arcade titles to nes, genesis, gba all that stuff. N64 doesn’t really work on it. I had a discord at one point, for a guy who would do the job of installing the chips and everything (can’t find it now) and I know the 360 isn’t retro but that’s what I’d be using it for if I modded it. Way off topic but does anyone know a place or reputable place to send a 360 in to get chipped? Again, it would be for retro games mainly.

I’ve never played 2 at all but it was so cheap I snagged it with the 1st one and then realized only my og xbox is modded. I know there are ways now to hack the xbox without a chip but I’m looking to put a massive HDD in there and just fill it w all my childhood-early 20s games I loved.
