Why are Japanese games more likely to be passion projects than western games?
31 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>11059287
The real "passion projects" in the west were all the mods made by fans. Things like Natural Selectio and Counter Strike for Half Life or even all the user map settings custom games for Starcraft/Warcraft are were the real passion went. Granted now stuff like CS and DOTA have been whored out, but they started as just actual passion from real fan that did it for free.

>>11064623
Ironically, this perception seems to be because westerners into Japan are so frequently clueless otaku themselves. They're naturally attracted to anime and videogames, because that stuff IS the best cultural export Japan makes, but they're people who take up this attitude "people look down on me for liking this stuff here, but if I went to Japan it would all be OK and I could sperg out with people there".

Since these people don't seem to get that, while popular, these interests tend to be things you don't flaunt around in public in Japan, and since they didn't get that message, they assume that these things "really aren't popular", even though there's no mainstream culture in Japan of higher quality stuff to 'consume'.

I could never play the original one, however the romhack redux one is amazing, and I put it on my 3DS. I now have a superior Game& Watch in my 3DS. idk what possessed Nintendo not to touch up the games more, or to not even include actual G&W games on it.

Why do people dislike RE0 so much?
40 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>11067825
I still contest that RE4 was some non RE project they had in the works that they renamed into one when the actual RE4 process was going to shit. Sort of like a reverse Devil May Cry.
>>
I love it and think it’s grossly underrated. It’s a 9/10 at worst. Yeah the no item box is weird but it does pretty much everything else right and has some of the most oppressive atmosphere in the series

>>11067828
Nah, the RE4 we got was always supposed to be it. It was so different because REmake and RE0 didn't sell very well.

AoS mogs SotN so hard, it isn't even funny anymore.

>>11039984
I think NG2 is great. Close to NESvanias which are peak CV for me.
>>
>>11064487
Another context is an internet connection.

On a blind/normal playthrough, SOTN's gameplay is extremely bland compared to future metroidvanias. All the cool stuff is either locked behind glitches that you have to look up, or abysmal weapon droprates if you wanna get anything that isn't a gray-particled standard sword.

Aria of Sorrow mauls it in this regard because you get access to different weapon types and monster souls right from the start.

Overall, I actually liked it a lot. I'll definitely replay it in the future.

What would a Virtual Boy Zelda have been like? What gimmicks would it use? Personally I think they would have used the second dpad to select items like you use the c buttons in the n64 zelda titles, and you would have jumped from floor to floor like half the titles on the virtual boy had you do.

I never realized how bizarre the virtual boy controller was just now. Not just the 2 dpads, but the grips, and the weird l and r buttons, too. Has anyone here actually held one before? Is it comfortable?

>>11062251
This is a much better idea, dark dim miserable colors would match the atmosphere of Metroid and 95/96 would have been a good time to feed off the success of Super.

This game fuxx.
It's like reversi on crack. The moody atmosphere of the arcade version fits the ongoing mental battle perfectly. The game was so good that Capcom even picked it up for distribution in Japan.

The arcade at my university had this
I played it once, but I was mostly reserving my quarters for SF2 at the time
I found it pretty neat though and made a game for my calculator (TI-81) that mostly copied it

I love this game but the credit-feeding nature of the arcade version kinda puts a damper on it, thank god for emulation. It also had a pretty interesting development history so I'd reccomend checking it out if you're interested:

>>11067859
The Japanese version of the arcade game does not demand credits for 100 seconds of play, it only limits your turn time. You can 1cc it.

Well, first and second Pommy are bottom tier because all he does is stun, and I ain't never heard of someone keep the semifinals so they're out too.
In the hands of a second player, the Pixie and Shadow forms are godly. Their asses fly over everything and they have great attacks. Pixie's is harder to aim but makes up for it in heart generation, though I think Shadow's aggressive horn attack gives it the edge in DPS.
I hear Dinosaur and Dragon are physical powerhouses but I never experimented with them.

I'm new here. I want to see your game collections. Tell me about your favorites. what got you into collecting? what are your stories and how long have you been collecting?

I just generally like gaming, and im sure everyone here does, but it's JRPGs that really do it for me. the massive progression combined with constantly seeing new things. Im a big FF fan, as you can see. There's a great store that sells a lot of high quality retro games in my city, and I got pretty much everything from there.

Fav game of all time in this collection? maybe FF IX

Yeah. I haven't played Rogue - NetHack and ADOM are the ones I got into deeply for a while. They are both awesome but can be annoyingly obtuse once you start trying to actually win them. I eventually shifted over to the (non-"retro") Tales of Maj'Eyal and never went back.
