This is the 2nd best Duke title. I wish I could could go back in time and play it again in 4 player splitscreen. Does the recomp have multiplayer? Online?
It's amazing how this game uses the Build engine and what it did with it, and that it took 15+ years before anyone found out about it.
>>12434643it never stops being an awkward n64 shooter if that's what you're wondering.
>>12434605there's only a single good duke game so that's not really impressive.
>>12434656>there's only a single good duke game Great*, and then there are half a dozen good ones.
So no, I take it the recomp is just single player... sigh.
I have been playing this in awe for the last two days. It feels like a hidden masterpiece that few people are aware of. Is the second one on this level too?
>>12432307>>5 builds are playable on hellbeat harder modes on D1 and tell me that again.there's basically 1 effective build in D1. magic rules.
>>12433582You're not trying hard enough if you can only do Diablo on Hell as Sorcerer.
>games that only you played
If I beat normal, thne jump into Hell mode, will I get fucked up? Or can I get tons of powerful gear and level up really fast?
>>12435742Yes, Hell is fucking brutal if you haven't levelled up and learned how to deal with the tougher monsters on Nightmare.On Nightmare, monsters take more punishment and do more damage, and more monster types are going to have further elemental resistances and even immunities.On Hell, the monsters are even meaner, and some are double immune, or worse, triple immune.Sets of monsters with mixed immunities is where Sorcerer is actually going to start suffering, as you need to be swapping spell types frequently (fast enough with quick keys, though).Some uniques, and some rarer monster types, however, are going to be goddamn TRIPLE immune on Hell, which means the ONLY spells that'll work on them at all are Stone Curse, Golem, and Apocalypse.Stone Curse will work, but it uses a lot of mana and wears off, also even a high level Sorcerer is going to be COMPLETELY pitiful in melee, so say, Warlord Of Hell, on Hell, will take a minute or two of you chipping him down and repeatedly stoning him. Golem's punches can't be resisted, but he's weak, slow, dumb, and fragile, and monsters will see him from afar (bug). At best, he can help you chip down stoned immunes, but it only helps a little.Apocalypse hits ok, but not like other good spells you might be used to, and uses shitloads of mana (Hellfire), or has very few charges on rare and expensive staves. Hellfire also nerfs it so it doesn't strike through walls anymore.You CAN do Hell difficulty on singleplayer, I've done it, but everything about how it plays is really to make you go:>Man, I wish I was playing another class in this moment!And then it hits you, that you REALLY want to play Hell in multiplayer, because it makes more of a difference than ever to have a buddy of another class to help offset your own's weaknesses.Hellfire takes that further, the Arch-Liches in the Crypt on Hell are plain unfun.
>That will be $525 + tip + fees + tariffs + shipping for your cheap plastic videogame from 50 years ago in a beat down box that is falling apart.When will the bubble pop already? I want to build a collection for a reasonable cost.
>>12434164Rarity is one part of it but other factors play a part in determining these prices too like nostalgia, meme factor, game quality, and attention from ecelebs. Not to mention the fact that Scarface specifically happens to be a foundational piece of black culture that's probably one of the most referenced pieces of media in the history of hip-hop
>>12424879This....It'll never pop.Do you want to own? Spend a ton or get a reproduction cartridge.Do you want physical media? Get an EverDrive.Do you want to play? Emulate.
What's up with the sour grapes about collecting? Not even trying to bait but if you emulate or use an everdrive (both completely reasonable options) then why does it matter to you what goes on with original copies?
>>12435890Because this is a place to talk about games, not investing.
>>12435890people like to laugh at retards and artificial collector markets. people paying for beanie babies were just as funny. but some people get mad at stupidity instead of enjoying it.
Final Fantasy used to be based
It never stopped. Though the 1-2 people out of 100 that are perma-angry would try to get you to think FF is bad. They are wrong, which is why FF still sells millions no sweat.
Just because it has loli ass in it and Moebius scratches doesn't make it a good adaptation
>>12435792Brings me back the days of renting anime tapes at local video stores. At the time I thought the anime was kinda mid, but still liked it because it was FF.
>>12435792What anime is this? I'm mostly seeing just "Final Fantasy Unlimited" but it doesn't look like this
>>12435893Oh, nevermind, found it. Google was just being shit
Sometimes I like to put on Mario Kart Double Dash (the first video game I ever played) and pretend it's 2003 again and I still have a bright future ahead of me.
>>12435231I often fantasize about the life I could've had if I made better choices... but it's ultimately pointless, this is it, it's the present and life's perhaps not too good, but if we're posting on an imageboard about out hobbies then that means we still have hardware, an internet connection, a hobby we like... so we're still in the game. Now stop feeling bad for yourself and go get yourself a beer, that you couldn't drink in 2003, order food you like without having to ask mom and dad if you can do, paying with your own money now so it's your choice, and play not like it's 2003, but like it's 2026, with all of the bad, sure, however a lot of good too. Let's not give into despair, OP. I don't think life's good, but there's some good in it I guess.
>>12435231we already have a blogging faggot thread go post there.

>>12435870Mum can't stop me from butt-chugging methylated spirits and playing Sim Ant until I go blind
>3 was amazing>2 was near perfect >but neither hold a candle to picrelWhy is this so?
>>12435272I prefer 2 over everything after it doh
>>124353062 looks like butt, and the campaign is butt. all it has is multiplayer. if that's ur reasoning, fine, but anything beside that is ridiculous. its unfinished slop.
>>12435140Aw yes because nothing says nuance like a space Jamaican stepping in poopy.
>>12435324>2 looks like buttso 3 looks like butthole?>the campaign is buttthe ones after are worse>all it has is multiplayerand story
>>124358322's story is fucking terrible.
Let's be honest, if you could only pick one home console per generation you would choose this as it is the objectively best line up, all sega console fail in one way or another compared to their peers with a serious lack of games and while the N64 may be appealing to Nintendo hardcore fans it's not worth losing 10000 ps1 games just for 10 excellent 1st party titles, meanwhile the GameCube doesn't even has good Nintendo games besides Melee.
>>124271266th gen turns 25 this year
>>12426840My nigga Dave!>Mega DriveYep
>>12426927This guy gets it. So much of this board has become posers and speculators trying to make rankings of things they never played. I personally far preferred my genesis to snes, but that's not to say there weren't games I thought were great or that I'd only want one or the other.
>>12426947Devin was a real prick.
>>12426927I agree... somewhat. I'd say in part it's just that people on /vr/ like to discuss about what they like and this is an easy way to bring in discussion.
>ruins the zelda franchise for the entirely of the 00's because some japanese boomers had nostalgia for it or something
>>12426130I'm glad you losers are impotently mad about something again today and you'll go to sleep and wake up miserable for yet another meaningless day.
>>12434131>And who finds Goemon "off putting"?They probably got filtered by this screen a lot
This thread is putrid garbage, more proof /vr/ is dead with these low quality anons
>>12434686Don't lose then
>>12434160>>12434156Stuff like Spiderman and Superman are gonna go on forever, long after we're dead and already were going on before we were bornThe one silver lining is that you can reasonably hope for an actually good writer taking things over or an inevitable reboot where everything shit is erased and goes back to square one again
What lowpoly games do you like?
>>12424086Battle Zone, Tempest, I Robot
>>12424086Crash Bandicoot is peak for me, a perfect "2D platformer from the 4th generation" translation into 3D and polygons.
I have a list of nearly 70 GBA games (beat 55 of them).Out of those 70 these are the only 6 which aren't>SNES ports>sequels or new entry in pre-existing franchise>licensed from some manga/anime/movie/etcThat's 8,5% titles that are truly original works. What a grim platform. The 00's was really the start of the soulless era.
>>12433512What use is competence if you never experiment and.just copy the same old shit over and over?
>>12433874Sequels and even games based on anime/movies can experiment.Such as Mega Man Zero and Astro Boy Omega Factor.Hell, even "ports" like Max Payne or Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 experimented.You can say they are entirely new games.So it's pretty pathetic to disregard game X or Y just because it's not a new IP.
>>12433909Experimenting under the guise of a sequel/port/license is still the safer less soulfull method. It also leads to unfitting things like re-using a name/brand just for recognition and the game having nothing to do with the origins of that name, such as Mega Man Battle Network which has nothing to do with Mega Man and would have been better off as a new franchise.As for Tony Hawk and Max Payne those examples are more due to the fact that they had little choice but to make the games like that on that hardware rather than a conscious will to make something new and different.I'll give a random example but I've always thought that video games have never even scratched the surface of what would be possible in terms of telling a story through gameplay mechanics because instead everyone goes for the safe methods and won't try something new. The GBA is a good example of how the 00's is less new blood, more safe re-using than the era that came before it. With this mentality prevailing we now got the point that the average gamer mostly only cares about big franchises (and this reflects back on their look of old games) and they don't realize things could have been and used to be different at some point.
>>12432519I agree the GBA had flaws, mainly the lack of X and Y... and especially the screen on the OG model... but the library wasn't one of its issues, it's the highlight.
>>12432571It doesn't. He's just being a console war faggot.
Soul era
>>12435667buy an ad
naughty dog /vr/ is garbage and not worth playing. they didn't get good until uncharted.
A Link to the Past gave me CFNM kink.
CFNM?
>>12430981clothed female nude male? but idk how he got that from playing zelda
?? ???
>>12430992Well it is said the pink hair in ALTTP sprite is because of hide
>>12433152Based
Does anybody have one of these? I am tempted to buy one but am concerned if the durability is comparable to the original gameboys, which were designed for drop tests. The metal construction has me concerned. Also how does the D-pad feel?
>>12433006Yeah, for sure. It just kinda sucked for a 30 dollar accessory to die like that but I appreciate them making it right.
Thanks anons. OP here. I will seriously consider this thing since I really like my gameboy pocket. I did not enjoy the dpad on the gbc. I will wait for my birthday or something.
I can to ask a similar question. Does anyone have an evercade? Is it decent? Or does it have any big flaws? I've been curious about them for a few years but never got that excited because the library of games wasn't enticing but now it's got a few different models and more well rounded catalog of games. So any input on this would be helpful.
>>12433492>EvercadeAll I know is that their shit is super easy to brick when updating the firmware on them.
I love using the chromatic a lot for streaming some of my quick games whenever I just want to plug and play on a voice call. I can’t really justify the 300 dollar price tag for the sapphire screen. But the quality is very good, but if you don’t care about streaming I would recommend buying a prebuilt Funnyplaying GBC or DIY it yourself. It’s way cheaper and much more customizable. Plus I don’t feel like I have to protect the chromatic from any sort of damage cuz of the price
This game is really fucking stressful
>>12430289Yeah and it's stupid. Idk why but I think the spiders are dumb .
>>12433983Not on the dogs. You can knock down the zombies with a few bullets, you don't have to kill them at first. Just shoot em and run by.
>>12434765Wow
>>12434765big if true>gets puked on
>>12430038Trial and error game design>Combat is flawedBetter than Alone in The Dark in some fundamental areas such as enemy feedback and tells. But until mid-game you really have to know the spawns.>PuzzlesThey are boring with a lot of trial and error. It's painful not to do the puzzle in the correct order and have to backtrack to complete it. The problem with the game is that it doesn't allow for different play styles. I think DMC1 is the best iteration of this style of game made by Capcom and benefits greatly from having an actual system in place. Other than that, it's really good for its time.
SEGA Saturn title Lupin III: Pyramid no Kenja has received a fan translation... except it is not a "fan" translation at all, but rather an AI sloplation.So, is this it, then? Are we doomed to receive nothing but swill fit only for hogs now that everyone and their dog can hop on ChatGPT with zero knowledge of Japanese and crank out garbage that may or may not have anything to do with the actual source text?
>>12432539I played this game 25 years ago you cum guzzling faggot shut the fuck up
Where can I find this translation? My usual sites don't seem to have it.
Is this how it all gonna be from now on? How tiresome. Do you people really enjoy outraging about everything?
I take Ai over localizers after the entire final fantasy shitshow
>>12433004The game has very, very little text to begin with. It's mostly menus and stuff.
