Does SotN have some of the most needlessly complicated game mechanics relative to its difficulty? You never really need to interact with any of them, and the most basic setup will get you through the game. Did you know that weapons have a strength requirement? Yep, if your STR is lower than the weapon's attack value, you only get HALF the strength bonus. Spell damage is calculated with 20% of your innate INT, plus 80% of your bonus INT (relics or equipment). Meaning a character with 10 INT stat, plus bonus equipment for 10 INT, gets a spell casted for 10 INT. You get DARK elemental weapons, but TWO enemies are weak to DARK (Richter and Sniper of Goth). Likewise, you get Holy mail to protect you from attacks from those two enemies. You can use potions or spells to protect you against all sorts of elements, but other than a few rather obvious lightning or fire attacks from bosses, I wouldn't hazard a guess what most attacks elements even are to begin to use it. Who does Dark damage? The relationship between CON and DEF is convoluted and involves square roots. Enough said. There's the whole elemental issue, but so few weapons that actually USE them meaning it's difficult to do any damage that isn't HIT or CUT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0IfAqyOFQk
>>12080891Weird how Ecclessia of all things has the most intense and elaborate Drac fight. He's usually a push over and pretty static. Lost it when he started strutting around.
which way?i hate color
>>12071347The correct terminology is Willyvania as Jet Set Willy predates Symphony of the Night.
>>12081523What romhack? I played one that changed the color palette but I recall it was darker, and it also changed Juste's standing stance

Let's have a good thread.
>>12080438I’m >>12080412. I admit the siege-as-defense thing is idiosyncratic and doesn’t work unless you’ve done a lot of trial and error compared to towers. I’m not building a bunch of meat wagons and parking them in my bas entrance. It’s mostly just one or two after I’ve already built a good number of towers. Towers first, always. Mostly using them as good early warning/splash damage quickie combined with shade, etc for sight outside of base. Second strategy is using them to nuke enemy spellcasters, like with mortar teams.>>12080463Yeah, I like sc. But relying on towers says “campaign” to me much more than adding siege to a modest base defense. Would the resources be better spent on a different unit? Maybe. I’ve had success with this, though, plus after playing this game on and off for two decades, trying new things has been instrumental in keeping my interest in coming back
me and my mates hate normal duriel
>>12080340Might not be a bad guess. They're the only two hub characters with no backstory, no gossip, they don't even introduce themselves or offer advice. Seems like Tyrael/God just put them there with the express purpose of helping you on the final leg of your quest. Seems like a pretty angelic role.
>>12080657I feel siege makes for a good defense if you're being contained, and not so much any other time. It can be a good momentum swinger from that situation, but I mean, Warcraft 3 is an actual good game so lots of things that the """meta""" dictates aren't good will work with most players up till a certain level, and that's a pretty high level IMO. I've seen some really scuffed play at 1700 on W3Champions, so siege units being bad is something that can be worked around with some thought.
My norse quest continues. I got tied up for a few days but I didn't let that stop me, I'm back in the game now. This is the last level of the jungle, and then it's off to the final world. The first two levels were a bit rough, but I'd say things went smoother than the pirate world did. Man, the music in this game kicks ass.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luIReVuxhPU&list=PLEC80569E1D27EC29&index=6

>>12080714Ps2 makes these consoles obsolete. Ps1 can only do shitty 3d jank held together by duct tape
>>12080714What a retarded fucking image, SNES/PSX/PS2 are the holy trinity and that's a goddamn fact
>>12081379Someone finally gets it.
>>12081261>Replace the NES with the Genesis in the first slot, then put the SNES in the second slot. Now you have a superior lineup that still follows chronological order.Makes total sense, actually.>Hell, I'd consider replacing the PSX with the N64 in the third slot tooI....what? How does this not completely go against the logic of your previous statement? Why did THIS fucking post have to be the one to say this? This has to be well-poisoning or something, there's no fucking way.

Hope 9 doesnt kill the other survivors. Rip Alyssa.
>>12081175how hard is it to beat solo?
>>12081415Manageable on hard but very hard and nightmare I wouldn't recommend. It wasn't very fun. Only managed with Kevin on VH.
>>12081175Also the most fun and mechanically deep while still keeping the original structure, without turning it into tps slop. We play it online every Friday while having some drinks.
>>12081415pretty hard unless you master dodge mechanics and basically memorize every scenario and item location. but even offline it's some of the most fun and tense moments i've experienced in resident evil. there is nothing like finishing a level with your character near death and without any weapons left
>>12081530Bullshit.
>>12081530The best soundtrack you've ever heard in your life
bump
Is there a game with a story akin to Xenogears' and gameplay akin to Disgaea's? I liked both
>>12078638I know how tits work you dumb shit. Post someone who isn’t 400 lbs wearing something like this. You can’t because this isn’t how it fucking works.
>>12078623You've never seen big tits probably not even small ones
>>12080543Either post an example of tits like this on someone who isn’t a disgusting hippo crammed into a corset or shut the fuck up.
>>12078623>Why is cartoon not real life You people are honestly broken
>>12081394I don't know why something as mundane as saggy boobs confounds you.
How would you rank their games in each genre? For example:>fightingSNES > Genesis > PCE>shmupsPCE > Genesis > SNESEtc.Add-on (PCE CD, Sega CD / 32X, Satellaview) games included in their libraries.
Jrpgs: snes > every thing elseeverything else: sega mdI genuinely love the PCE but it feels like last generation technology. It has a “famicom plus” sort of vibe.The snes hardware sucks. The mode 7 scaling is cool as fuck and it makes most scaling games play better on snes. But the thing just struggles to maintain full speed when literally anything happens on screen. It also has 1 additional frame of input delay not present on pce or md. The smaller screen resolution makes platformers and action games more frustrating with the zoomed in screenThe sega generally does action and platforming games way better. The konami games on sega absolutely smoke their snes counter parts. People say the snes ports of street fighter are better but that’s not possible the genesis and capcom arcade boards use the same hardware. the mega drive ports of those games are much closer in experience to the arcade. The higher resolution makes games like ewj 1 and 2 better on sega. The sega could use a better color palette tho. The genesis also has better music which really enhances the games. Dithered graphics have grown on me but it’s objectively not better than the snes’s expansive color palette.I play all 3 consoles almost everyday as i’ve been in a 16 bit phase for the last 14 months. Honestly most games are not great beyond nostalgia. I find that the MD has aged the best in respects to how much we value performance in the modern age.Comment too long.

>>12081185i tried the 3do version after playing the pc remaster out of curiosity, i do not recommend it
>>12081532The biggest push for me is the initial ghost scene placement and order. It's tough because it doesn't play as well as the PC versions.
Real and video
>>12080932Quite impressive, honestly. A shame they add all these little gay 3D animations.How are the physics?
Eternal thread theme, now and forevermore.https://youtu.be/FASUZRYs0fM
>>12080942Thankfully you can turn off the shitty cartoon animations, ball trail and pop up scores. Physics seem the same as the PC/console version with separate normal and supposedly more realistic physics although I couldn't tell you how realistic as I haven't touched a real machine since the 90s.
>>12079542I have a Lethal Weapon 3 and I'm picking up a nib Godzilla Premium tomorrow
>>12080957Pinball FX physics are crap. However, VPX works in VR and also does mixed reality with better physics, hundreds of better recreations of real machines, and can be used with any kind of hardware including shakers, solenoids, and other motors.
Retro gaming appearing in other media
>>12081153If you plugged in another control another player could issue commands so it does technically work, but generally it's just a case if suits not giving a fuck.
Theres a whole anime based on the following:PC-98 game developersand Street Fighter arcade players
Dr. House is seen playing several handhelds during the show. gameboy advance sp, psp 1000 and psp go at least.he is also seen playing xbox 360.

post videos of your crt or a skeleton will come jam his fingerbone down your peehole

>>12079121I use a shinybow component selector, but it's long out of production and they're really expensive at this point.I'd second that you probably need something powered to avoid any signal degradation. There's some pelican HD selectors that might be alright, or at least better quality than what you'd buy on scamazon from china.
ever since i got my crt monitor recently i've been addicted to starcraft

Has anyone bothered to figure out the response time of the Game Gear and other handhelds? I don't care that much about the original Game Boy since it had official TV output, but it feels like I didn't really beat the game if I play Game Gear and other handheld games on an emulator without having to deal with the original screens' ghosting. I've seen handheld LCD shader options to adjust the response time, but it's useless without any measurements to go by.
>>12081131Why not just do a video out mod?
>>12081131I own a gamegear but I almost always play gg games on my r36s
>>12081472>>12081485What causes these kinds of posts that completely fail to comprehend the OP minus a handful of keywords? Drugs? ChatGPT? I've been seeing a bunch of these and it's starting to weird me the fuck out.
>>12081496Usually caused by people not wanting to indulge a retarded autist.
>>12081507Then why post in the thread for any reason other than calling OP a faggot?
Why are there so many “ye-olden Shakespeare times”, non-standard phrasing and vocabulary and "flowery" English in Final Fantasy translations?
>>12080364They know they're doing it incorrectly. They don't care, because they are fighting a political war.
>>12080364You seem quite upset, but are you prepared to show the parts of Final Fantasy Tactics' script where the job was "not done properly" in this manner? No, writing it in English above your meager elementary reading level does not count - please show examples of places where parts of the script were altered in a malicious way.
