Resident Evil is so fucking cool. I love the characters, the story, the atmosphere, even the clunkiness.

I just hate getting fucking lost and having to keep running back and forth to get one item I need then put it back. I beat RE1 and have been meaning to play RE2 'any day now' for quite a long time now.

The Real "The Real Driving Simulator"

Playing Gran Turismo 3 after this makes it feel like a glorified Need For Speed

355 Challenge is only a simulator in the sense that Gran Turismo is called one. It does have a little bit more of the nuance of the car it features but it ultimately also does not fully represent a real racing series and its physics aren't nearly as good as even GT3. Fucking better than Sega GT though.

AC is the peak of racing games, driving the Wangan in VR is one of the best experiences to have behind the wheel. I waited years to play something just like that.

GT4, Burnout 3, and NFS underground 2 are my favorite retro racing games but the only I still play is Burnout.
>>
>>12261346
They weren't.
For Simtards comparing any racing game to an arcade racer though is shorthand for "It's completely and utter unplayable trash".

>>12263418
>driving the Wangan in VR is one of the best experiences to have
I just wish there was a game behind. Like I enjoy sim physics but I feel like these people often forget to include proper game-like features in these games.

you're being disingenuous. we're talking about combat performance, and games like FF7 and FF8 had much more snappy and concise combat compared to FF9.
>>
>>12261132
FF9 was deliberately meant to be much slower, and even had lower enemy HP (Ozma in particular had 65535) and zero multi-hit attacks. They leaned into the old school trappings as hard as they could.
>>
anyone got any proof 3 niggas in a row was a technical limit or are you just making shit up
I always figured it was because you only need 3 niggas because each individual nigga can do anything due to materia (and gf) mechanics. like how ff5 and 6 lowered the party from 5 back down to 4 because unlike FF4 you didn't have preset classes for everyone, and ff9 brought back an extra nigga because that game also had set classes again

has some good /vr/ ever made given you more appreciation of modern games?

I bought dark souls on the switch a little bit ago. i never really got very far the first time i played it like a decade ago, but at the start of the year i went back and played the king's field trilogy on ps1 and the whole fromsoft vibe just kind of clicked with me, so decided to return to dark souls.

in 10 days I've put 95 hours into it, and beaten it with three different characters. currently running through ng+2 on a pyromancer. it's fucking fun as hell.

>has some good /vr/ ever made given you more appreciation of modern games?
Yes, and it goes both ways. I go back and forth between old and new, and they're different enough experiences to feel refreshing.
>>
>>12262787
I had a similar story.
Civ 4 was out for some time but I never played any civ games before and found it to be too bloated.
I did have a psp and found out civ 2 was out on ps1 so played that and loved it so much that I would deity that bitch and eventually move on to civ 4 out of sheer love.
>>
>>12262787
Yes, both it goes both ways. I play retro and I play modern. Overall, I find modern game design is mostly better in terms of fairness and challenge than retro game design. Modern games are a bit too safe with their approach though, and they can become quite same-y, or be very simple beneath a complex layer of button config and combos.

Mostly, I appreciate that old games don't waste your time with bullshit busy work, and I appreciate that newer games ramp up challenge and are more consistent in terms of difficulty. Design seems less random and more focussed.

What was the Twilight Princess hype like? Was it seen as the next OoT?
7 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>12262907
The main problems with Twilight Princess was the difficulty, item usage and the wolf gameplay being boring. Other than that it is a fine game that does not need to "push" the series forward or whatever that means, unless you mean devolving into a Ubisoft game with the skin of Zelda. If they made Twilight Princess 2, the best fix would be making bosses harder instead of teasing you with hints of difficulty before prematurely ending the fight. Make items have more puzzle and combat utility in other dungeons, the Spinner and Dominion Rod are the worst cases of this. Buff common enemies and make healing resources scarce. Finally, revamp wolf gameplay to be fun or just remove it entirely. This remixed TP would be a guaranteed hit and rival OOT.

But Nintendo always goes retarded and instead of learning their mistakes they just threw everything in the bin and whored out the franchise to Ubisoft. Thanks Aonuma. Thanks Fujibayashi. Thanks Miyamoto.

>>12262971
Yeah I don't know how anybody else dealt with it because I was playing PC games at the time but among all the games Nintendo Power hyped this was the one they hyped the most, by a factor of twenty. They promoted this game more than they promoted entire consoles.

>Are you playing with M+KB?
if he was doing that do you really think he would ask how to beat the level? doing that is the same as using your computer's data editing function to change the game state to level complete. The game... is trying to rotate your reticule around in time to shoot the guards before they shoot you. If you can just inject instant reticule movement, there is no game.

The safest way to do it is to stay at mid distance so that you can shoot him while he's walking towards you. If you go too far he'll start running to you instead in that case it's much harder to dodge him.

Once/if he has his tentacle he's a lot easier to deal with it actually, the fight is harder if Carlos isn't here to help you at the start of the fight (which iirc is if you used the brakes on the cable car instead of jumping out the window)

Dragon Quest came first, Gohan is a Dragon Quest protagonist cosplaying as a half alien martial artist. My headcanon is that Piccolo is a rejected demon king design for DQ3 since it's too much of a coincidence that Toriyama had a demon king villain in DB a few months after DQ2 came out and while he was working on DQ3.
