the eternal debate
I had both consoles growing up but I had the basic sense and taste to leave the ps1 for rpgs and survival horror. crash, spyro, lara, croc are all fucking garbage even for the time. banjo isnt as good as mario 64 but clears every ps1 platformer by a huge margin. I feel bad for the ps1 only poors who gaslit themselves into thinking this scrimblo shovelware was actually good.
I really like Spyro but come on man this isn't up for debate at all Banjo shits on it any day of the week.
>>12268379Largely agree. I think the only PS1 game that wowed me was FF7. I don't think anyone has ever seriously looked at both Spyro and Banjo on equal footing without some serious cope in the mix.>>12268390I have to agree with this too though. Mario 64 is an 11/10 that hasn't been topped to this day. But Banjo is still a fantastic game with many of its own merits.
Any other fellow anons from those countries can give me their experiences with retrogaming (growing up, popular games, collecting or emulating in current day, etc..).All I know is that the PS2 is still incredibly popular there, would like to know if Sega, Atari or the OG Xbox had their fans.
Kind of related but any of you remember Disney Explora? They where very bias towards Nintendo and PC gaming, like never saw any article talking about PS, what with that?, also this mag was the first time I read about 3D gaming, remember staring at the Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Stadium pics for hours.
>>12269772Of course they were using roms and emus for the screenshots but tried to disguise them, at that point CN went to shit.>>12268585Many of this things were actually asshole things.
>>12270086>Many of this things were actually asshole things.I'd demand pics, but, no you're just a crazy esl baby.

Am I too retarded for this game?I don't really understand the gameplay. You constantly have to stay close to towns in order to recruit fresh troops, but you also have to go away and explore. That means constant backtracking to have a strong army.The never-ending recruitment, backtracking and navigating multiple armies kind of destroys the fun for me. Am I playing it wrong?
>>12269514You need more heroes and to play more aggressively but this becomes unbearable when you play with multiple other people and everyone's turn is long as fuck. Especially when it's hot seat mode and everyone is drunk.
>>12269559>check which heroes get transitioned
>>12269592there's a Sandro joke hidden in there somewhere
>>12269583>Huh? Does he only fight?You still haven't said if you're playing a campaign, a single scenario, or a random template.In a campaign, your main may be less busy, and the game may be comparatively slow. In that case, if you don't see that much gold around, your main may as well act like another side hero: scouting, picking up resources and so on. I recall some campaign heroes are pretty trashy (i.e. Gem), so even when leveled up, she's not that good (especially if she doesn't roll good skills).Also, if it's a campaign, check your main's level cap. Obviously, going over that doesn't have much point.In a faster scenario or a template, your main typically only levels up and takes fights, everything else is handled by side heroes.
play a better game instead, OP
Oh. My. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
>>12270117I beat this as a child. The only thing even kinda tricky was the slalom because I didn't know what that meant
>>12270130Driver: You Are the Wheelman
>>12270123Because it's not a tutorial. You get explained jack-shit. You're given a list, a parking garage, and just told to do these things in a minute.
>>12270128>>12270123wtf really? it took a few tries but i made it..driver was a pretty gud game. Driver 2 on the other hand, had a fucking programming error whereas in a level you got stuck by completing your mission goal (landing a car on a boat) and you couldn't get back anymore..fuck that shit
>>12270117>Shalomhuh?
Isn't it weird how Jigglypuff was shilled a lot back in gen 1 as the Pikachu for girls? It's not even that important in Pokemon Red and Blue, not a single named npc uses one, you can easily miss it, Clefairy a few steps north is a direct upgrade and yet it got a recurring appearance in the anime, got into fucking smash (pretty underserved)Eevee in contrast has actually become the "Pikachu for girls" without any first installment weridness shilling necessary, just by pure merit of its design.
Pikachu is the one pokemon on viridian forest that's rarer to find, same with Jigglypuff and the area before Mt. Moon.They are Pokemon with cool specials that appear very early on, and aren't the common pidgeys and ratattas you find all the time, plus they are cute. It's easy to see why they are popular
Jiii gaaarriiiii jigariiii jigglypuuuffffff
>>12253120I always hated this piece of shit.
it's pink. pink is for girls. duh
>>12256572I still remember the Raichutranny that spammed here and /vp/ because nobody cared about his mod being featured in a literal who Smash mod.Also got banned on /vp/ for bringing up a romhack to bait in /pol/tard drama. Moderation was really weird few years ago
How much should I pay for them?Which ones are the best to look out for?Best screen size for the common resolutions from snes to ps2 era.
>>12270429>but then you have to move it.Skinny skeleton arms typed this. I was able to move a 27 just fine. But then again, I got to the gym
>>12270429>know someone will tell you 32" but then you have to move it. By this logic, never buy a stove, fridge, bed or most furniture in general.
don't overpay for large models unless they're a trinitron or some other sought after meme brand(if you actually want that) there's tons of them that get put up for free, people just wanting to clear space. I don't mean that in the >heh you paid for an old tv? just find an estate sale and dumpster divesense. they're legitimately free all over facebook marketplace and the like.
>>12270429>>12270476I hope one day people realize the best CRT is the one you have. Too many people try to chasing ideals reminds me of audiophiles chasing the best speakers and turntables to the point where it becomes less about the music itself and more about the setup.>>12270372Merry Christmas!
>>12261316the three main price drivers are size(smaller sets are more expensive), desirable brand and model (sony, panasonic, trinitron) and having component/svideo inputs. if a given set doesn't fall under any of those then you shouldn't pay more than 20$ for it if that.
YOU HAVE TO READ THIS because some lunatic is actually putting in money to make this shitpost a reality.Would you play this, /vr/?https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/11827475/>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFdeLM3Ggno>Cyberpunk 2077 on the NES>It's 2D Grand Theft Auto, but you got to wagecuck by playing minigames in order to play the fun part of Grand Theft Auto....>So like Castlevania Symphony Of The Night but ... you recover all your starting items IF you play the minigame and you LOSE them all if you don't KEEP playing the minigame.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGq3kBj3JcY How would you make this game NOT suck ass?
This is what Sega actually needed in December of 1996
>>12268489OH NO
>>12267378because arcade games were the original p2w gachaslop. the only reason people played them is because they were graphically and mechanically superior to home consoles at the time, but by the fifth gen home consoles had overtaken arcade games for budget and gameplay depth. nobody outside of Japan wanted to play arcade games in 1996, not when by that time we had full fledged 40+ hour RPGs and cutting edge 3D platformers launching every 3 months.
Yeah but what can ya do. Console is still fun
>>12268541This so much, Sega failed to adapt and paid the price.
>>12268078Unfinished garbage?
>removes all of the nice feeling momentum from mario 1 and 3, never to return in a 2d mario again>mario runs and jumps like a brick nowwhy did nintendo do this -__-
>>12270378I meant SMB2 USA was originally Doki Doki Panic. Was everything implemented and became “canon” for Mario? Yes. But that wasn't what Nintendo had in mind when they wanted to make Mario games. Everyone forgets about the Odd Airplane Mario game that Nintendo released exclusively for arcades. Mario was everywhere, and it wasn't just about jumping, but SMB and the OG DK were so big that Mario was pigeonholed into that role.
>>12270387Doki started as a Mario game, then went on to be Doki. Then Doki got converted to SMB2USA.It was always Mario you fags need to stop.
>>12270387>I meant SMB2 USA was originally Doki Doki PanicAnon, EVERYBODY has heard this dumb clickbait factoid, stop waving your trivia boner around. It doesn't make SMB2US a fake Mario game or something.
>>12269753>never to return in a 2d mario againNigga never played NSMBU or Luigi U>not retroDon't care, he said "never return"

The PS2 is more powerful that the Gamecube.
>>12267826>best ps2 could do was fog*n64 chads laugh*
It wasn’t. Discs held more and developers were willing to put more time on ps2 games cause it had a bigger install base.
>>12267826The fog on SH2 is more impressive by gameplay perspective than the effect it self. Norihito Harakeda literally spent six months programming a dynamic fog system that reacted to light, sound, and even your movement. Akira Yamaoka tied the audio system into it so the fog didn’t just look alive it sounded alive.
>>12267924You keep telling yourself that.

Can we just admit that NBA Street V3 is the best retro sports game? No one really cares about any other retro sports title.
The only ball sports games anyone other than normgroids give a shit about award:>Mario Golf/Tennis/Strikers/Sluggers (Mario Sports)>NBA Street V2/3 (EA Sports BIG)>NFL Blitz/NHL Hitz/MLB Slugfest/NBA Jam/NBA Ballers/Redcard (Midway)>MLB Power Pros (Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu)Anything else is likely slop
>>12269873oh yeah and Hot Shots Golf + NEO Turf Masters but golf barely counts since it lends itself more to decent vidya than the others
>>12269824Peach is tall! TALL!
>>12269824Fifa Street 2 is better in every way, a truly soulful sports game. Which is funny because I never cared for regular Fifa, I was always a Winning Eleven/PES guy.

I could deal with every other cryptic clue in this game but fuck this part, this was fucking horrible and it straight up ruined the game.
>>12265043SOTN had logical puzzles. Even without a guide, it's possible for players to figure out the puzzles in the games through visual and musical hints and callbacks. But CV2 doesn't even try to do that; it's just bullshit, and no one can prove me wrong.
>>12270104They're not, but the ones who aren't are, well...
>>12270416You're this guy >>12265114
>>12270428>Anon: You only hate this if you're a turboautist>Me: You only like this if you're a turboautistSure anon, the very same guy. Take your meds.
OP I figured this out when I was 6 years old by reading the clue about "Deborah Cliff" and then finding out where that was by reading the in-game signs telling you which direction the signs point to, then just trying the same thing that worked with the blue crystal to reveal the way to the mansion under the lake. It took me hours of play to finally then see the whirlwind appear and carry me away but I was able to finish the game not too long after that since it's not a long game at all.
