The DS version has a coop battle mode. Which is ass because the second player is represented by a star because it's a shitty handheld port.

The only upside is that you can play as anyone from both Alpha and Bravo teams and as a result easily mod the game to use those 3D models in single player.

it would be like Kirby Amazing mirrors with the players clearing different parts of the map, i'd be down for that. the only problem would be when someone nabs an item the other needs and having to coordinate that. Maybe you can comunicate with a radio but this one has limited battery or something?

Why is this game so offensively easy? It's basically impossible to have fun without gimping yourself on purpose because everything deals 1 damage to your character

I had a mod that doubled all the HP and Damage of every enemy at a minimum, some were given more drastic buffs such as Hippograph who went from a boss I have literally never thought about to one of the most difficult and intense fights in the game. Getting from place to place was genuinely dangerous if you were careless and I actually ran out of food for once.

This game could have really used a hard mode, I think the initial difficulty is OK for a first time platformer and exploration but there's so much to this game that is unseen or rarely seen because you kill everything too fast.

My only regret when it comes to SotN is that there weren't more games like it. 3D was the hot new thing but devs ignored the 2D potential of this generation of consoles. It's the best they've ever looked.

>>12593513
That's my problem with this game too. Way too easy. It was good for one time through, but that's it for me. At that time I was more into Tekken 2, gran turismo, and tenchu. Those were some good ass games, and great for multiple play sessions.

I, until very embarrassingly recently (i.e.yesterday), thought you to keep all the Bill-allied ships alive, too. When I found out you can just gun them all down with reckless abandon, the medal became a fuckton easier. The only difference is that Fox is more smug to Bill in the accomplished cutscene if none of the allied ships were shot down. Zero impace to score whatsoever, it's just a lot easier for Fox to be a psychopath with no consequences.

There's something about 5th gen when consoles still had a unique look.

>>12596729
Protip: If you have a game that is "as simple as DQ1", but one is a simple sprite and tile game that takes second to walk across a portion of the map and complete a battle, and the other is full 3d and takes 20 times as long to get through the animations, one of these is a bad game.

Having a quick look I can see that 7 copies of Bust-A-Move 99 have been sold in the last month alone. In no fucking universe is that a rare game then.
For comparison, Bust-A-Move 2 seems to be doing similar numbers in terms of units sold, just at a fraction of the price.

I wish RP didn't exist. It killed samp. There is literally no normal DM/TDM servers focused on one city anymore, just rp slop or some weird combination of dm/race/rp where there's 20 people on the whole map so you can't even do anything because everyone is so spread
>>
>>12598642
it's not rp, it's jobs. They dont' want random death match, just paired to a roll.

Commit a crime - get arrested by a player as a cop.

Make money - A player works as an assassin and is tasked with killing you.

It's channeled death match, not just free for all death match.

I was discussing some games online, I was mentioning some Platformers, SHMUPs and Run 'n Gun titles and someone commented on how they are all short games 30-40 minutes long, as if it's a bad thing or a flaw, why are tr00ns so obsessed with wanting every game being 50 hours long?
They won't touch a game if it's under one hour long and 'll belittle it without even playing it

Turn-based rpgs have more potential to be engaging than hybrids or pure action games tb honest.
In turn based games you're connected by your choices and thinking which is the highest form of agency a player can connect with because it's directly dependent on conscious deliberation and NOT automatic muscle memory. Think about an engineer approaching a physics problem or a detective trying to solve a murder mystery or think about yourself trying to fix a life problem by planning and preparation , every step is up to you, every wrong deduction is on you. This is far closer to expressing your willful agency than performing combos or dodges in an hybrid rpgs or action game because those ''actions'' depend A LOT on unconscious, automatic muscle performance.

When the player sits back and plans deliberately he has time to weigh options and calculate optimal scenarios, the solutions depend on his conscious thought process not his twitchy muscle memory. This is actually more freeing and connected than the action game player who has to hope his muscle memory and twitch reactions have been programmed to perform almost automatically and execute the combos, the head-shot or execute the dodge fast enough, often faster than he has time to consciously ''think'' about.

If you can't connect with good turn-based strategy games it means you can't connect with being a decision maker, with being a thinking agent at all. Maybe you're indecisive? Maybe you're very low IQ and also impatient? Maybe you have autism AND ADHD? Instead of being the thinking General you want to opt for being the automatic foot-soldier, preferring gameplay that is more about rote muscle memorization and conditioning your body to perform memorized actions, [almost unconsciously] rather than actively choosing each and every choice you make and thinking in real time. It's strange to find action game numbskulls praise action games over high IQ turn strategy games!

what game?

Mario RPG

>>12594723
I noticed Bowser's Keep, but I never noticed that the rest of the silhouettes are other landmasses. My guess at everything from the left edge to right: Yo'ster Isle, sea, Seaside Town?, Star Hill?, Marrymore?, Barrel Volcano (or possibly Booster Tower, but it shouldn't be that far), ???, sea, Bowser's Keep, broken bridge, Mario's Pad, Mushroom Way, Mushroom Kingdom, Kero Sewers, sea, Rose Town... I'm not too sure on the next landmass before the next sea gap because some of it is repeated from the first, but you can see a leafy vine with a suspicious cloud above it, which is either the Rose Town garden and Lazy Shell area (which would make this the Midas region) or Bean Valley and Nimbus Land (making it the Land's End region - likelier due to the cloud's vague palace shape). I wonder also how much of this is a remnant of an older world map. Might make a visual aid later if someone wants it.
https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario's_world
Apparently also, the background is clearer in the remake, but it looks like you don't see nearly as much, just Bowser's Keep and Mushroom Kingdom.

the Madden Classic mode is basically the Sega Genesis version of John Madden Football '93, just with 2001 rosters, including the:

the PS2 Madden games also had a 'retro' mode that was an emulated version of the Genesis games with updated rosters, as did the NBA Live games.

Why would anyone bother with this when SoR2 exists? It's so fucking stiff, slow and dull.

I wouldn't be too hard on FF, considering that it's basically a genre pioneer. It had the excuse of not really having anything like it that it could study and learn the mistakes from. Within a few years, the franchise improved immensely with FF3 giving us more fluid characters with deeper movesets (at the cost of looking inferior graphically due to it being a console-only game instead of an arcade game).
