Eternal and the one before it with custom armor and fast pace and double jump is IMHO way better than people credit it for. It's still got secrets and storytelling or just goregrind with little story. Weapons are good old DOOM fun.

Despite having melee options that you can get through most of the games, the series is known for having plentiful ammo. I'm wondering: why?

I don't know if it's a wider audience thing, or if it's just a fail safe. The most efficient way to dispatch a foe is to down it, then kick it to prevent it from getting up. This however, counts as a "killed by fighting" rather than "killed by shooting". Have you ever tried to actually down enemies with only gunfire? You waste a lot of ammo. So players learn the more efficient method. but the game's ammo is balanced around using only firearms.

Does anyone here know if the redshirts respawn endlessly in Sector 1?

I'm playing on normal and I'm stuck on the final part of the game since several in-game days because the waves of enemies emerging from Santino's bunker are unending. I read somewhere that you can exhaust them either by defending Sector 2 or attacking Sector 1 for several days but that's now working.

Is blowing a hole in the bunker complex, rushing into it trough the northern path while hoping to get lucky the only viable way?

It's no use talking to those drones, almost guaranteed most of them are projecting and haven't played the game themselves

I always preferred Nintendo consoles to Sony consoles but for more esoteric reasons than the de facto lineups and I think it's similar for most people who feel this way, at least subconsciously

Like, the PS1 has a bunch of great games but it's not like the games needed the console to exist as much as the console needed the games. That's what the SNES showed when Nintendo had everything. Then Sony came along with the PS1 and caused a divide that kinda just happened without anyone asking for it (Sony stakeholders aside), even resulting in SNES and N64 games getting canceled that Sony had previously been set to publish

What if the PS1 had never existed? Most games would likely have landed on the N64, for better or worse. Even FF7 was initially developed for N64. On the other hand the connection between Nintendo consoles and Nintendo games is inherent

Make sure you are securing the SD connector on the ODE, it is extremely fragile and needs its tension relieved. Don't mess with the PSU, install a noctua fan if you want better cooling.

The Saturn was a convoluted mess of subsystems all with multiple processors and memory pools that had to be tied together and synchronised making emulation difficult. The Dreamcast despite being faster had a more straight forward design with a single CPU and GPU.
>>
>>11355793
Try Yaba Sanshiro 2 on your smart device, anon. You might have to mess with the settings first since for whatever reason they have everything set to max by default. Also some games run better than others since it's Yabause

This is why I tell people to play SEGA CD and 32X instead, literally better experience and libraries all around. Either that or as you said just play Dreamcast, most of the games have superior ports or sequels on there. A lot of them are also on PS1

>>11355862
It's also just better in general imho. Like why play Saturn at all when Dreamcast has Tony Hawk

Try a different game, 2D games tend to run faster usually

Wrestlemania 2000
No Mercy
Wcw vs NWO revenge the holy trinity of wrestling games. If you enjoy Pukes cardboard cut out slap fights as far as gameplay goes then I could see some people enjoying the Smackdown series. For me tho, biggest crime against humanity was taking the license from them and giving it to pukes. Just as a reminder the def jam series is far superior to anything on the ps2 Xbox or GameCube as far as wrasslin goes. There’s a reason all but one Smackdown is bargain bin and No mercy fetches 50-60 a copy and good god if u want a legit copy of fight for ny you’re looking at a hundo. Aki was the king and I’ll never understand how pukes got the rights but they did. Cannot even imagine all those Smackdown games w the Aki engine, would’ve been Banger after Banger after Banger.

If only I could go back and make Nintendo package their system with these controllers instead. n64 was flawed in many many ways but that 1st generation 3D graphics were a magical time nonetheless. Yet despite an awesome 6 button face and the 2 button trigger and a wonderfully granular control stick, the n64's "Trident" was just a mistake.
It could have so easily been this piece of art.

Post anything you want about controllers (retro) ITT.

I started playing console shooters in 6th gen, so aiming with my left thumb and moving with my right fucks with my muscle memory in FPSs. Plus, doesn't an actual d-pad feel a lot better than a set of four buttons for movement?
>>
>>11351761
It would be foolish not to release a controller with a second stick at this point. That's just the reality. Games are made with the presumption that every controller has two sticks.
If you're going to play N64 games though, the N64 controller is pretty much the way to do it. It's what the games were designed around. It feels right.

The c buttons are actually pretty nice for moving but it's aiming with the left thumb that will fuck with most people, unless you're some crusty ancient fag who spent his formative years playing wolfenstein without a mouse, but even then wouldn't you have used the arrow keys with your right hand? I dunno but if you've been playing games for the last 30 years it's going to feel bad.

There was something magical about this game and it's engine, damage models, and general feel that I can't quite put my finger on but it feels entirely unique to all the other games in the series.
I only wish it got a mercs expansion but even without that it's fun as fuck.
