>>12316689What about the NES ones?
>>12310116FF7 is a big win. The existing PC port is such a fucking relicMGS4 is still hard to run on RCPS3. No chance it's happening anytime soon, but if I had to pick just one to have, it'd be that.After that it's hard to really think of anything. It would have to be console games that could be improved by way of modding, such as how Vagrant Story for PS1 is a game where you constantly have to go into a menu to switch weapons, and a native port could allow for a mod to add a weapon wheel. Part of me hates this sort of thing though, I much prefer accepting Vagrant Story for what it is. I also like The Simpsons so I want some Road Rage and The Simpsons Game, which are console-exclusives. I wish I was still in my 20s - after becoming 30 I stopped caring about a lot of this shit. I would've gone bananas for Twilight Princess on PC. Now it's like "eh, I might not even download that". It's for lack of time more than anything else
video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"
>>12316368Going from shmups to jrpgs is like going from literature to reading Twilight fanfiction
>>12310139for me it's the graphics and music. it's crazy how no game managed to capture the spirit of tyrian for so many years. jamestown was so close, if only they didn't make you die in one hit to cater to japan obsessed crowd
>>12318343Brutalised.
>>12318351You are a liar. This is a fact; I can tell that you're lying because you refuse to play Ginga Force. The question remains: Why? Why are you like this? Why are you suck a fucking faggot? What makes you that way?
>>12318351>the graphics and musicFucking suck compare to tons of other shmups>It's crazy how no game managed to capture the spirit of Tyrian after so many yearsDrainus, Ginga Force, Natsuki Chronicles all have story mode with weapon/ship customization. Are you talking about something else? I don't get it.>Jamestown was so close, if only they didn't make you die in one hit to cater to Japan obsessed crowdThis is such a retarded sentence I am going to have to break it down bit by bit to explain to the retardniggerfaggot you are just how dumb it is.First of all, there are tons of JP shmups which don't have lives. Guwange, Strania, Deathsmiles, the ESP trilogy, Zeroranger, etc. no shmup fan has ever complained about this fact. Secondly, it's not really correct to say that shmups are "die in one hit" just because you have lives and you lose one with each hit. The real failure state, which it would be accurate to say you die at, is when you run out of lives. The average shmup starts you off with 2 lives and 3 bombs. You can use a bomb to clear the screen, so if you're in a shitty situation, you can get out of it easily. Therefore, you essentially have 3 hits for each life if you can react accordingly. The second life also serves as a "second hit point" for your overall health bar, and games typically have at least 2 extra lives you'll be able to get by scoring or fulfilling certain conditions like destroying all of a specific bosses parts without bombing. TL;DR there are shmups with healthbar systems but even those without aren't really die in one hit like you claim and shmup fans don't largely prefer one or the other. The idea that Jamestown uses a live system to cater to shmup fans is fucking retarded and you're a serious retard for thinking that.
If you don't play on original hardware, you didn't beat the game.

>>12314680virtual machines are retro because I can set the date
I really got big into the turbografx 16 this year. I feel like I played a lot of famous retro games but I never "finished" them if that makes sense. I also got big into the occasional shmups. I also really enjoy some master system games.
>>12315538Well judging from your picks I figured you were about my age, maybe slightly older, and I'm 42.Never heard of Skykid, Falcon 4.0 or Soul Blazer though, seems pointless to ask if you think I should check them out given they're your favourite games, but I'd be interested to know what they are and why you think they're top-tier.
>>12315584Yeah I'm 43.Sky Kid is a Namco arcade game, but ported to the NES. I think the NES version is better for gameplay, but obviously the arcade version is better for graphics and visuals. The NES version is a co-op SHMUP that scrolls right to left. Very unique. You take off, grab a bomb to drop on a target and then land. Tons of enemies to shoot down in between. It's a lot like Super Mario Bros in that each level ups the difficulty and ads something new, and there are tons of secrets. The main gameplay plus is the backloop you can do with the b button, while a fires. It allows you to dodge attack and get behind someone, but it if you get hit you don't die instantly, your plane starts to crash and smashing the loop button can save your plane. Fucking underrated as fuck, and hard as fuck. See some gameplay videos of it. AVGN did it with Mike Matei a while back.Soul Blazer is an amazing action RPG by Enix that came out shortly after Zelda LttP. It has a formula, and if you like it you'll love the game. Amazing graphics, music and great locations. I still think it's better than the sequels Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma. Falco 4.0 was the best flight sim of the day, and it had a sequel which was allied force. Almost 99% realistic to the real F-16. Had hours spent learning how to fly it and all the systems. Best memories are flying from Italy to Bosnia for an hour, bombing a power plant, dodging several SAMs and takign down 4 enemies MIGs then barely making it back to the base in Italy with no gas and gliding onto the runway. Took well over 2 hours with a control stick on my computer at night, gameplay was at night. I was locked in like no other game in my life.
>>12315638Thanks for sharing, though I'd argue 43 IS mid-40s! Trying to think of games I could recommend to you, as much like you most of my 'best' games are well-known (Refreshing that you're not a contrarian faggot like most people here who insist any popular game is bad by default because normies like it). If I try to think of some more obscure or lesser-known titles though....In the spirit of retro, the most obscure I'd encourage you to check out is an old game called Repton 3. It was a BBC Micro game and had a few level pack expansions that are most of the content (base game is 24 levels, each expansion is 40!). It can be emulated easily enough, or if you don't mind paying out there's a windows version you can buy the whole lot online for about $15 (google it, it's not on Steam for some reason). It plays similarly to Boulderdash, but vastly superior, each level a timed puzzle that starts easy and gets really, REALLY hard. The puzzles in the levels are so well-designed and intricate it's an absolute masterclass in puzzle design.Avoiding traditional roguelikes, that's the only really obscure one I can think to recommend, others are either obscure but casual recommendations (great but not incredible) or not all that obscure but are definitely worth your time if you missed them.For the latter I'd recommend Into the Breach, which might just be the most well-designed game I've ever seen - a practically zero-RNG strategy/puzzle game that always feels fresh, can't recommend it highly enough. FTL is also excellent (same devs) and a bit more active if you're not a fan of turn-based games. I'd also recommend Dark Chronicle (charming action RPG, bit grindy but different and makes up for it in other ways), Cave Story, Burnout 3/4 and Red Alert 2 (best RTS without expansion that breaks balance).Lesser-known games worth checking out I'd say Reventure was a good time, Dungeons of Dredmor if you want a roguelike with Lucasarts humour, Shotgun King and Rogue Legacy.

just finished the first dungeon. what am I in for?
>>12317208>and even Easy-exclusiveeverything on easy is on normal
>>12318210they also fucked up the difficulty by making easy mode the hardest level because you get less useful equipment, in a game where equipment is a huge factor in dealing and taking damage
>>12318182begone tourist
in chapter 8 now, almost done, though I plan on doing the postgame too. what should I expect from VP2?
>>12318219getting level 1 characters in hard mode is anotherbig advantage too since you can juice them up big with bracelet of zoe/emerald necklace and the game gives you a boatload of party exp anyway.

Hey /vr/ I want to play the first 2 Fallout games, is the gog version fine?I remember lurking in a thread that was about censored content in re-releases of one of the games but I dont remember details. Also, is it okay going in blind, or are there some bullshit mechanics that I should be aware of?
>>12314173I played the steam versions recently and they seemed fine. I installed a couple patches to remove censorship and fix bugs. I wouldn't bother with other mods for a first playthrough, especially for the 1st game since it's fairly short by rpg standards. I think both of them come with sfall and a snarky message from the sfall devs in the credits about using their mod in an official patch and not properly crediting them, so they hid it.
>>12315029FO2 Restoration Project is kind of meh.I guess it's neat if you want to spend more time in the game world exploring around.

Is there anyone that actually prefers this over morrowind outside of nostalgia reasons?
Morrowind feels more modern , this one is more of a DOS-ROM.
>>12317889There are some, but it's definitely a much smaller fandom. It has things I very much like about it, but overall I greatly prefer Morrowind, and think the series peaked there.
Any opinions on the N-Gage game?
>>12318223Has anybody ever played it? All I remember of the N-Gage are side-talkin' memes
>>12317889ye it's fun to pick up and playI like how every side quest is designed for failure and none of the dungeons need to be clearedand the writing is amusing as wellit's just refreshingI like mw too but I only do a faction questline once a year for a little rp
Should I play Thief Gold or Thief The Dark Project? I've read Gold makes some changes and adds a few maps, the reception of these seems mixed.Additionally, Tfix Lite, Full or not at all? I'm suspicious of fan patches.
>>12314525Tfix is borderline necessary if you're on Windows Vista or newer. You can simply use the Lite version (outdated, but worked for me on Windows 7 a few years ago) or use the full version and disable all of the extras during installation (the texture pack is horrendous). I would recommend Thief Gold, but I'm biased because my two favorite Thief 1 missions were added with Gold. The other Gold mission is my second least favorite.
>>12314525If you can get it to run, OG all the way. Gold sucks bigly. I can't forgive its butchery of the Lost City, one of the greatest levels and it completely ruins the tone.
>>12316451Thanks for the tip.
>>12314949Don't call yourself stupid for getting impatient. Practice makes perfect.
>>12318309This. Patience can be learned.

>>12304009One decade. And even the washouts are highly sought-after officers by every country's military. Play the game some time, it'll answer many of the questions those AI lore vids you've been watching raised.
>>12317196I love FF8 threads just for the quality consistency of the smarmy midwit that comes out of the woodwork in them.
>>12317196And yet the second anything happens, all responsibility falls on the 4 SeeDs from Squall's graduation while the senior SeeDs are just grunts. Even the non-party SeeD guy gets assigned to piloting the school.
Didn't beat the game without a walkthrough no take backs
