How would you rank their games in each genre? For example:

>fighting
SNES > Genesis > PCE
>shmups
PCE > Genesis > SNES

Etc.

Add-on (PCE CD, Sega CD / 32X, Satellaview) games included in their libraries.

I dislike when people regard the "I like playing the female protag option because I like looking at a cute girl while I play games" defense as some agp cope, because they cite some decade old meme of "i'd rather stare at a woman's ass than man's ass, hurr hurr" and think everyone is locked in at ogling ass every frame of gameplay. I'm still looking at the world and enemies, and I'm probably locked in harder than any fag thinking constantly about his need to express his burgeoning masculine heterosexuality by playing as hairy dwarves or whatever. People who constantly feel the need to inwardly and outwardly reject a little eyecandy now and then are weak as fuck.
I just see a cute female form and get a small dopamine hit, no need to unsheath my ten inch cock and goon perpetually while playing video games. Women are just fucking beautiful and nice to look at, dumbass.

They had development hardware that was both well-documented and easy to use and that was all they needed to succeed.

Do you people have any idea what terms like "RTS" or "FPS" actually mean?

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.

Isn't there an "Accurate" option? That one supposedly replicates the original screen's ghosting.

As a kid, the only time I ever noticed ghosting on the GG screen was one time I left it out in the car overnight and it got really cold. The blur couldn't have been too bad normally or Sonic would have been impossible to play.

What shader? I haven't seen any GG-specific ones preinstalled on RetroArch.

Hey, what do you guys recommend to be a good catch all console type for ALL retro consoles (if such a thing exists). I know how to run emulators but I want my kids to have fun playing vidya before it became a gay political speaking piece. Also, fuck no Im not letting them on my battle station because I also run a business and have important dox. I see a bunch of shit for sale on amazon but if its anything like my retro console player it sucks ass. Thank you for any helpful advice.

Lastly,
>Xbox 360 is now "retro"

What i was thinking if you have at least 3 hours to put in, you could program a Raspberry PI to turn it into an all out retro console that can run anything(almost), there are even premade cards and software in case you don't want to put much effort but the right amount to make it work.

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.

>random ass enemies drop the best rings

... totally NOT designed to sell guide books btw.
>>
>>12081736
why does only the giant skeleton have a drop exclusive to replay files? like you think either there'd be none or more
>>
>>12081792
In the original game it's called the Skull Ring. Yeah, it's likely just a bonus end-game equipment for replays, nto meant for normal regular play. Also meant to be a super secret item for people who bought the guidebooks.

There's one of them in the normal castle specifically so you can farm them for it.

This isn't a translation issue as people assume, it looks like they either forgot to program it in, or it was bugged. I'm curious what the actual code says.

>>12081923
they purposefully dumbed down the AI intelligence and damage to make it more like a run and gun medal of honor type game instead of a tactical shooter. some of the levels are cut down or missing all togheter also it advertises new levels but they are actually just taken from the multiplayer or quick fight mode on the PC.

Classic Castlevania, the series where everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the rest despite them all being variants of the same exact gameplay.

Which is your favorite? I must admit as someone who never was into it growing up trying to get into it has been hilarious since the "fandom" is the biggest gaggle of hipster pseudo gamers I've witnessed yet

Are these games unfairly hated? For some reason, I’ve always seen Gex thrown in the same trash bin as Bubsy, but honestly these are not bad games. My only real gripe is with the first one, because it seems like they tried to do a momentum platformer a la DKC but the run feature just doesn’t work great. It’s also extremely punishing with Gex’s hitbox being enormous. It’s still an alright time though.
2 and 3 are legitimately fun collectathons.
And the humor? I found most of the jokes land, and the ones that don’t are carried by the sheer absurdity of the voice acting and delivery.
All in all, I like this gecko.

>game looks visually worse than 2 (maybe just aesthetics, but I do feel like it's more plastic than 2)

>base collectibles went from golden fly (1) to level-themed ones (2) to golden fly again (3) - weird but okay

i only played the n64 3d one. it was alright. i liked the different level themes. my favorite was the kaiju themed boss fight.
i didn't like when they started reusing level theme ideas though. i think the final boss was kinda stupid and uninspired too but most 3d platformers at the time didn't have particularly great boss fights anyway.
