Japan and the US did the same thing. In fact all throughout the 80's and most of the 90's, american marketing would do everything in its power to hide the fact that Japanese games were Japanese, while this didn't happen nearly as much in Europe due to Japan not being seen as the enemy (the econimical and industrial enemy the US saw them as) and Japanese media being widespread over there.

I played on emulator once and it ran like molasses. I want to try the recomp but there's so many games out there to play now, I can hardly find the time. Its a shame.
I will say I find the "rarespeak" to be really annoying. I thought it was kinda endearing at first, but then Yooka-Laylee just drove it into ground, and now I just kinda hate. I think it's just impossible for me to have a good time with BK now

It has always been jarring as hell to me how almost nobody plays this game as it has arguably some of the most important moments in the entire series that go on to be referenced.
Beyond that I really love how the game plays and think every MGS fan should experience it at least once.

I also heavily disagree with the notion of people going "eh MGS1 is pretty much a remake anyways" like yeah no shit it used a similar structure but it is still very different.
You wouldn't say "JoJo Part 5 is basically a remake of Part 3 so don't experience that!"

Don't even bother with the NES version. Not worth it.

In universe Tekken characters are obviously really strong, but compared to other fighting games they seem like they'd be much weaker in comparison, freaks like Devil and Ogre aside

Majority among normies in my time did not know how to do fatalities so I doubt many of them seen scorpion as skull guy, again - but other than that you prove me right - it’s the moves and looks that people remember, not some faggot lore
> "woah the cappo guy is so unique from the kung fu guy"
Something more along the lines of “woah the dancing nigga is different from Bruce Lee, giant robot with a mohawk, a literal bear/panda, leather jacket Guile, guy with head of a leopard, indian girl, fucking balding asian guy(I remember my neighbor being balding and having wings like that so kids called him Heihachi when Tekken craze hit), sexy girl, robot ninja with sword, wooden puppet, mad scientist” - dont know why you’re obsessed with one Vegeta comparison
> they all don't really have unique costumes
You’d have to be retarded to think that, see above

Well idk I don't really care about people born in the 00s. The MK movie came smack dab in the middle of the 90s and it was very popular
Tekken simply isn't as iconic, and part of that is that it gained real traction when the genre was dying anyway

And really nobody who isn't into Tekken knows shit but maybe the Mishimas. I am a Tekken fan but it's just not that iconic. Not much is recognizable from it to the non fgc gamer which can't be said about SF or MK. Anna Williams is probably the hottest but she's ultimately just some pseudo realistic chick in real world fashion outfits. Just being realistic

"Anime fighter" is a specific subgenre of fighting game. It's like Darkstalkers, Blazeblue, or Melty Blood style games, where you're zipping all over the screen and doing air combos constantly. It's just called 'anime' partially because 90% of the games that use that style look like anime and partially because matches look like those scenes in DBZ where characters are teleporting around at supersonic speeds while fighting.
>>
>>12388147
> Tekken simply isn't as iconic
You still didn’t really give a real argument for that beyond the muh zoomers boogeyman, the thing you said about characters being pastiches is ironically describing Mortal Kombat more, the franchise is now all about crossovers with characters from other movies which is testament to creative bankruptcy
All that butthurt about SC and boring fluff for faggots makes me believe you’re just salty about normies preferring Tekken and smash bros to MK

Fighting game universes are cool if you suspend disbelief for a bit, but make no sense 99% of the time so it doesn't really matter who's stronger
Like why do most of them don't use weapons?
>b-but magic!
Then use magic weapons
A lot of these games' character are fighting for really high stakes like control of a city or the world or universe, makes no sense that they go around punching each other instead of hiring snipers or dropping nukes.

What other /vr/ games aren't as good as you remember it?

Sucks because I really loved the GU trilogy as a kiddo. As an adult though, the moment I realized you could guard and dodge cancel any semblance of the games difficulty went out the windows and it just became a very monotonous playable anime. Still, the story and characters were alright. I just wish the gameplay didn't become such a slog.

I have beaten every main SS game (I never played the spinoff titles) I like the games. But you know who didn't every single friend I forced to play these games. Why would they not like these games could it be because when you boil it down half of the game is exactly what I described because it sure was how they all felt.
Yes I'm aware there's more to these games especially in the 2nd and 3rd games but you can not genuinely tell me that you never did the classic and run backwards while mindlessly blasting the 4000 kleers and gnaars.

I actually miss the WW2 movies and games era. There was a lot of WW2 things coming out back then, a short Vietnam phase and then everything moved on to modern warfare which we've had nonstop for like 20 years now. And it's so fucking boring because instead of varied environments 90% of the maps are just desert and it's either fighting some sandniggers with AK47s or all the armies, weapons and vehicles looking and playing the same.
I still find myself coming back to old MOH, COD and games like Brothers in Arms or Hidden and Dangerous from time to time. Wish devs went back to WW2 or Vietnam even for a short while. BF1 was the best breath of fresh air we've had for a long time and even then it was like 10 years ago.

GB is very good. Never did multiplayer so I can't speak to it, but I know it introduced garbage.

Tetris/Dr. Mario for SNES is fun for PVP. Tetris nerds will say the block generation isn't random enough but it does make for marathon multiplayer sessions.

Tetris: The Grand Master is really fun if you're good at Tetris. Give it a shot on MAME or play the playstation romhack version.

Tetris Battle Gaiden is one I've wanted to try for awhile. Tetris X looks very similar if not the same at least for multiplayer.

It's bound to happen, apparently they just canceled the Sands of Time remake because it didn't meet their quality standards which you know is complete bullshit. It's probably because that last Prince of Persia game they made did hit the sales numbers they wanted but it s9ld over a million copies. I think that's pretty good for a niche franchise no one had cared about in 20 years. I bet the Splinter Cell remake gets canceled as well.

It's important to be self-aware of how memory and learning works.

A game is divided into a segments. Some of those segments are easy, some of them are hard.

If you practice a single segment (so 1 level or 1 boss, etc) , and practice until you can always clear it, as soon as you take a break that skill will deteriorate extremely quickly.

However, every time you practice, your permanent skill increases a little. You will be more ready the next time you get there.

So, for this example, go kill astaroth until you can do it without sweating, then go practice something else, then go kill him again, etc. Eventually you'll never have issues.
