Are these games worth getting into? I played the first one for about 30 mins and really wasnt impressed by it. Does it get better? Does the series improve or is it just 1 big game cut into 4 parts?
bump
>>12784593qrd?
>>12800403Not that anon, but its mostly the premise>the story.The games came out when MMO's were at a strong point but they weren't easily accessible, so the game sort of "simulated" them. Then, it threw in internet urban legends into the mix and a bit of futurism (with a lot of their predictions of where technology would go coming true). The hook for the first game is also really good involving the main character and his friend being caught up in one of these urban legends and the main characters more experienced friend being killed in the game and going into a coma irl leading the MC to play the game further to try and find a way to save his friend. The story kind of falls apart after that only having glimpses of truly good moments and they are usually smaller moments on top of that. Again, here's my personal qrd of the series (>>12785064). Most every part of .hack is an amazing idea, a mid to awful execution. It's a series that never managed to find its footing, but the art, atmosphere, and ost really capture some people.
>>12801034As for a qrd on the entire story... I don't know if a QRD is even possible as it follows an anime, several novels, and four games. There's also a manga that takes place later in the timeline that doesn't really have much plot significance. //link is worth playing if you want a concise summary of the plot with some decent voice acting and some neat art at times, problem is that it's an absolute misery to play.

There are some pretty cool CD games in this thing, but the HuCard games kinda suck for the most part.1MB size limit really hurt them in the long run, and it was all self-inflicted, since cartridges would be just as easy to produce, but NEC wanted to look slick so they picked the worst format instead.Besides Bonk, is there any HuCard games worth playing?
>>12801120The Street Fighter II HuCard went as high as 2.5MB. Honestly, I prefer the HuCard library. Bomberman ‘93-‘94, the Star Soldier games, Air Zonk, Legendary Axe I and II, Alien/Devil Crush, Magical Chase, New Adventure Island, Parasol Stars, Neutopia I and II, Dungeon Explorer, and Military Madness are some highlights, not to mention some high quality ports too (such as the aforementioned Street Fighter II). Plus, you get sweet chiptune instead of Redbook.
Checks out. My PCE library is 64 games, and only 4 of those are HuCards
>>12801120>1MB size limit really hurt them in the long runHow did the ignorance of a child born decades later hurt them?>Besides Bonk, is there any HuCard games worth playing?For you, no.
>>12801817>uhh... akshually there's no size limit if you use an internal memory mapper trickFuck off retard.
Thief got an update on GOG a bit ago that updated NewDark, added full controller support, and also added in a radial menu that slow down time to select weapons and items that you can use on kb+m by holding Tab.Also, you can choose at startup if you want to play Thief Gold or the original release version of The Dark Project. I'm playing TDP now because I never played it and I didn't feel like doing any of the add-on missions.This feels like a huge update, almost like a stealth remastered port.
>>12801049drama queen
>>12801014>supposed new campaignbullshitAtari would never allow for the expense. The best you can hope for is a mod and fan mission manager that pulls from a GoG mirror.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsoPymf-LzMThere's going to be an OST for the upcoming graphic novel. I lost interest in the comic book when I learned that it's done by the same people behind that LoK story, but the OST might be cool.
>>12801049It's just a community mod they bundle it with. Just like newdark. If you want the game "preserved" you're going to need to play it on windows 95. But that would be retarded.
>>12797249that's why you play the game as an arcade game by not using them. i pretty much just use the save feature as a way to get to my favourite missions without playing through the whole game again
I've been looking at Supercombo, Mizuumi etc. Is it really worth getting invested and trying to get good in one or two fighting games?

The zoomer /v/ermin that flodded this board doesnt even know what game this is
>>12801236I'm 40 and only remember it from going through old shareware disks as a kid. If you did that you were almost assured to run into it
>>12799526Is that fucking Catacomb? If so, that's probably the first video game I ever played that wasn't an edutainment game.
i forgot the name but i remember the 3d engine was slightly off it didn't quite turn right
>>12799536Wait, there's two Carmacks?
>>12801690John Carmack is the lead programmer, he put the engines together for iD Software (and the engines for when they were Gamer's Edge). Additional programming was done by John Romero, primarily the level editing software for basically all their games, including Keen, Wolf 3D, Doom, and Quake, (also Heretic), and then they hired on Dave D. Taylor for doing basically all the heaps of small code stuff, like the status bar and automap.Adrian Carmack is one of the artists, he did the bulk of the graphics on the old iD games, until they hired on Kevin Cloud. For Doom and Doom 2, they commissioned Don Ivan Punchatz to make the game's cover art, and he recommended his son, Greg Punchatz, to help them with making physical monster models for them to digitize.There's no relation between John Carmack and Adrian Carmack, they just happen to have the same surname. I think Carmack is maybe a Scottish name or something.

>you missed out when this game was fresh so now you have to be cursed by this ostentatious green color in your disc libraryWhy did it have to be this way?
>>12799257you're a speedrun tranny. no sane person ever knew that shit.
Only spergs care about this kinda of thing
>>12801287it's based thoughbeit
>>12799823But you play with the disc in the console, not seeing a image or a cover or printed disc.This stuff only bothers you if you are mentally imparied or maniac about some minor stuff.vidoegames are mean to be played not to be deposited in some shelf form 45 years.

>>12799207doesn0't rogue gains an understanding of how whatever power she copies work?i recently rewatched heroes (no, i was already at it before she died) and sylar is able to copy powers only because he understands how powers work.so rogue should be able to manipulate ki as well as ryu after touching him.

>>12800804The saddest part is it likely would not have been censored if it were released just a few months later when the ESRB was established, much like Mortal Kombat II.

OK so this video triggered me:https://youtu.be/C5Dz7TV0UZU?t=466Like this zoomer decides to force carmageddon into WASD or something like that and I got triggered.NO YOU DUMB FUCK!You are supposed to use the number pad to control the car! Like you can then use your other hand near WASD to switch your camera!Switch to cabin view and do 90 left or 90 right. The game can be 100% played on a keyboard only.Why did no one explain this to zoomers? its like they get confused and go>Muh WASDLike this is some meme.Comment too long.

>>12799761>mac carpocalypseYour post reminded me the guy behind that site died. Very sad.
>>12799042>Death RaceIS a kind of shit and idiotic movie. Carmageddon 1 makes it 100% irrelevant.
>>12799759>>12799761Post more concept art.I kind of like the futurism implied in carma1. You get basically normal people in 90s clothing and then out of nowhere you get these judge dread like characters. The city style also implies some futurism going on however it blends so nice that you can also think of it as a 90s city. There is also the most subtle world building ever in these video booths. these are not phone boots if you stop and read what they say they are video booths.Imagine waiting in line at a public place to make your video calls like it is some vision of 2019 made in 1981! Zoomers will never understand!
>>12802042All the concepts are in this gallery https://rr2000.cwaboard.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=25And yes, that near future in C1 is quite nice. Very Judge Dready. You can feel the inspirations behind the concepts.
>>12802063>Very Judge DreadyJudge dread is to over the top and 80s silly for me however the art style future totalitarian cop is the perfect spot.
WORLD CLASS LEADER BOARD GOLF
>>12799998Of course it does work. And world class leader board golf is alot of fun. I just never understood how the hitting meter works
played a fuckload of this on the family 386. "looks like he hit the tree, jim" still plays in my head regularly.A couple years back i set up the version with like 24 extra maps or whatever and took notes on what the best courses were. ill dig it up at some point
>>12799743More like Bored Golf.

>>12799920I saw Stuart K. Riley play picrel KEK.
