>>12917726no, it's just cultural marxism in practice. the method is to continue asking nonsense questions until you can find an answer that fits the narrative.the moderation on this site is complicit. deleting on-topic threads, while leaving up nonsense like this thread.i can't be convinced that it's by design, considering that nearly every board has a reduced post-count. also, this isn't about to ecker ban-evasion shit, either.the mods like this site the way it is, so expect it to get much worse and for only retards to remain.

About to start these bad boys. What am I in for?Already beat Classic 1-6, Zero 1&2, and X1-4
>>12918862It's middle of the pack for me. Before 9 and 10 came out, it was just behind 1-3. Plus it actually has some depth and challenge to it, something most Mega Man games can't claim.
>>12918864Mega Man 4 is the best classic game, no way in hell 7 is ahead of it lmao

I was always a N64 kid growing up and I feel like I've mostly neglected the PSX over the years. So lately, I've been going through the PSX library on original hardware (MiSTer FPGA), really trying to experience the full gamut. So far I've beat (with a score from 1-10):>Crash Bandicoot (9)>Crash 2 (8)>Crash 3 (8)>Crash Team Racing (7)>Spyro The Dragon (7.5)>Spyro 2 (7)>Spyro 3 (6.5)>RE1 (6)>RE2 (8.5)>RE3 (7)>Silent Hill (7.5)>Klonoa (5)Comment too long.

Ignoring the whole debacle about Twin Galaxies and how basically anyone with a record cheated, how the hell are the actual records not held by Japanese gamers? They regularly set kill screens and break records in other games, it makes absolutely no sense that they wouldn't do it in Donkey Kong or Pac-Man. Hell, 1CC is a literal past time for bragging rights in Japanese arcades like Mikado, to the point where there's even a cute girl who works at the arcade who does them live now. I even saw one guy doing 2 players on a shmup by himself. Do you seriously expect me to believe that none of them are setting record scores?
>>12912180Japanese people tends to actually enjoy their games instead of LARPing as joyless celebrities because they can play Super Mario Bros really fast.
>>12918137The japanese had a speedrunning scene before the west and still have big one in certain games...One of the things that introduced a bunch of westerners to speedrunning at all was Morimoto's SMB3 TAS.Stop being a fucking weeaboo retard.
>>12918207I think its more that guys who held high scores (not speedrun records) aren't minor celebrities over there.
>>12918137It's the opposite. Japanese people are depressed and miserable all the time and spend their time complaining about other cultures on Xitter. Meanwhile Niftski's Larpio WR has great energy and is one of the greatest moments in video game history.
>>12918590I watched a bit of that and got annoyed immediately
So I got inspired by some guy who made a post about blood and was hating on the game. Here is a response to his rant.Blood my retrospective.I played blood like in 2003 or something far after it was released. I loved Duke 3D and I decided to try it I think it was the DOS game running in windows 98 or something.I tried it and I did not like it. I seriously never liked the blood aesthetics since all looks brown and like crap. That stupid brown 1920s or whatever is ugly as fuck and all looks the same. I did stab some zombies and shot some and quit the game.Year later I did give it another try, I still do not like its aesthetic and never will. However I finished the game and I remember killing all the bosses or even looking up charnobog on a wiki after I killed him. He looks very interesting.I liked the gameplay and I remember (this was the end of act1) even getting dreams based on the cool mechanic of throwing dynamite and how satisfying it did feel.And this was that for over a decade. Then this guy made a raging comment how blood sucks because hitscanners or somethingI wanted to respond however I decided to play the game once more to refresh my memory, I did go for the gog remaster or whatever(can this have consequences?) and I spammed ENTER to start the game fast(I have no idea on what difficulty I did start) and I did mover forward and kill zombies and cultists however once I entered the mausoleum on the first level a problem started to show itself. I was running low on ammunitionComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>12919170Trying to kill the cultists was not fun and the problem was not le hitscanners the problem was that the level did not have med kits or life essences enough or the enemies did not drop life essences enough(like 1 time on 1 map in every run max) you can kill the cultists by peaking over the corner and 2 tapping one with a shotgun however they react often fast and sometimes it is a game of randomnessAnd the game was objectively not fun I either waste my time by pitch fork killing these stupid zombies who resurrect to often or I am in a life and death struggle to kill these cultistsI tried a restart and found the same problems. This really confused me since I literally remember killing the final boss no cheats no nothing and having fun. Is there a difference in the gog remaster and the old DOS game??? I tried the game again this time I did not spam ENTER ENTER ENTER to start it however carefully selected the difficulty and I did finish the 1 act no problem and also did have fun with the zombies at the end by throwing dynamite at them and zombies are perma dead from explosions, also them getting thrown around from the explosion is fun. I do not know what difficulty this was however that play of the game was really not fun. Maybe the game needed to include more TNT all over the place so the player can use it to quickly kill zombies instead of playing a waiting game before getting to the main fight with cultistsAlso the flare gun is a super weapon no it really is. I normal shot into a zombie and he perma burns to death. I did not expect this and this kind of invalidates most of the gameShotgun for cultists and flare gun or TNT for zombies. It make more sense if the normal gun was weak and what the flare gun is was some burning crossbow bold or something that has limited ammunition because how absurdly powerful it is, and this is no joke I can kill gargoyles by shooting them with 2 flares and then some running in a circle and shotgun to the face2/3
>>12919187What surprised me was that the rats(yes fucken rats) are an annoying enemy, you think some shit you can step on would not be a problem however they bite you and in my first run I did have a problem because I did not want to waste my precious shotgun on them. Dynamite solves them however I did take some time before I did the crouch and pitchfork combo to remove these shits.There where also these eye balls with wings that did fly around in 1 map however they literally did no damage.The game is OK however there is little variety and I think the game should have a dedicated TNT button. Not switch to TNT as a weapon I mean hold to charge the TNT and then throw while you auto return to your previous weapon. Any reason for that insane difficulty spike by choosing a harder difficulty (I play my games on normal)? In contrast duke gives you shitloads of MedKits and(I did not know this before 2026) you can literally regenerate 100 HP if you spam the use key on any source of water like a fountain or broken hydrant. What are your thoughts on blood as a game?Maybe it should have a big >WARNING this game mode is very hard if this is your first time play the other ones insteadBox if a first time player selects a more difficult setting? Especially in the remasters etc.
ITT we talk about two player retro games.Argue about which ones are the best, and reminisce about how it used to be in the days before online gayming.nothing beats gaming with your best friends by your side, and everyone knows that retro games have the best two player games of all time.

>>12918171I don't have any friends that play games anymore

>>12913317My earliest gaming memory is of a guy trying to teach me how to play MvC 2 at the arcade that was in our local mall. I think I was only about seven, maybe even younger.
>>12913317This on mame arcade is superb.
Why is it impossible to find a complete 1998 ISO for HL1? I dont want to bother with steamshit. i just want one with the music included so I can play the game the way it was intended
Stop spoonfeeding retards this is why good things get shut down
>>12916358Works for me.
Go to Goodwill and get the non steam gimped original CD.
>>12915982iso is not the standard format used for CDs with multiple tracks. a proper rip with the music included won't be an iso file. you can't find a complete iso because you can't make one.
>>12915982I still has my physical boxed copy from forever ago... how do you not own this, I'm pretty sure there's still people/places that will press the og disk image new.

That's it for Total Saturn (and indeed, ALL UK Saturn magazines) so I hope you enjoyed them!
>>12901358>Sonic FightersReal shame that never got a console port until the Gems Collection. That would've been a great one to have on Saturn or even Dreamcast.
>>12914829>Real shame that never got a console port until the Gems CollectionI agree a saturn port would have been handy.
>six issues in one threadImpressive!
>>12916132Well for a saturn exclusive magazine is not bad, others magazinse only lasted 24 or 36 issues but they also talked about megadrive, megacd and gamegear.
So windows was shitting itself(I think my behavior triggers the retarded windows antivirus and it scans literally everything ) so I decided to also play a game. I did try memento mori 1 (I did play it before) and because of windows retardation it lagged like there where moments where the game did freeze or there was a delay between shots or me pressing the fire button while I look at a static picture.While playable this made this WAD far more difficult then it usually is, I took far more damage then usual.This did make me think was doom or its wads designed back in the day with the idea that some gamers will lag while playing it? I think this is a interesting question since today doom is considered a very easy game to play. How many people did lag on their ancient PCs while playing doom?
What are some fun co-op games to play with your girlfriend?

This console would be a forgotten joke if not for the large hacking, piracy, and other related groups who kept this DOA piece of shit alive.
>>12918026The horror.
I still laugh at this one.
>>12918559Nah, that game rocks. You obviously never played it.>>12918563>snes screenshot threadsI think you have mental illness. Obsessing over multiple users and thinking they're the same guy.>>12918572False. Those games were great. Just not made for filthy casuals like you.
The Sega CD, the Sega 32x, and the Sega Saturn killed the Sega Dreamcast
