Sakura is a genius with a really high IQ, remember her other setting? I bet you don't but she learnt how to use gouki fighting style and techniques just from imitating him.
Same applies to ryu techniques yet she is brutal in fights if you can control her well.

Kys, it's terrible. Doesn't imply anything about the game, the image is of the Thevius Racconus but nothing indicates that as it's in extreme closeup and just looks like a generic edgy cartoon fursona head, and oh did I mention it's in extreme closeup to the point you can't even tell what's supposed to be happening? Thank god PS2 era Sony still bothered with different boxart for Greatest Hits. Even Sony felt it was bad enough cover art that they slapped together some shit for the PAL version (hilariously renamed Sly Racoon) that at least had a scene happening.
Sly 2 has the best cover of the bunch anyway.

Were any of the Batman Begins games any good? This one on the Xbox actually does look interesting. It is also the last real movie licensed Batman game, before the franchise went the Arkham route and shifted to 'video game universe' Batman titles, with the exception of the Lego Batman tie-in games. The majority of the retro Batman games are either tied into the movies (mostly the Burton and Schumacher eras) or the various different carnations of the animated series.
>>
>>12517123
I only played the Xbox version but it was the best Batman game in a long time when it released. Probably harder to get into now if you've played the Arkham games but I rated it an easy 8/10 at the time.

Just how in the hell am I supposed to defeat the boss of Golden Eye when there is no way of dodging his attacks? Was this just a scam to get more quarters in the arcade? It is an instant loss.

you have to master the game so you have enough lives when you reach him to take his blows. that’s it. it takes a lot of replays to master. that’s how old games. but you will stand up and shout when you finally kill him, that’s the glory of retro

He's vulnerable in the time between he casts magic and it either hits someone or disappears. So do a running jump and either slash him on the way down or hold down+attack to do the special diving attack if you're close enough to land it (it also does more damage).
The skeletons each have 255 HP iirc. They can be killed but it takes forever and it's usually easier to focus on the boss. If you decide to kill them, focus on one at a time.
Fighting him at the very top of the screen makes it a little easier due to the way enemies are programmed to move out of the way of your jumping attacks.
My 1cc strategy was to do only running dive attacks on him at the top of the screen. It's easier than it seems and is mostly a matter of learning the timing of his magic casts and trying to get a hit in before it results in a spell.

>>12515349
Microsoft was paying devs to do something to make their ports "better" somehow, which had the benefit of beefing the early catalog with games from just a year or two earlier. That's why there was stuff like THPS2X, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, and some of the Konami games (didn't MGS2 Substance come out for Xbox before PS2 as a timed exclusive?).

This was the first version I played and I think it's pretty great. They had to chop up some levels into multiple loading zones and the load times are pretty terrible. They also made the keyring work without actually taking it out and using it. Pretty neat little port.

What do you guys think of hardware hoarding? Do you partake?
I've always thought it might be cool to have all the color variants of a beloved console, something like that, but I can't imagine turning my room into a goddamn Hard-Off.
I've seen an uptick in this kind of thing recently, people post their setups and have stacks of the same console somewhere. When asked they'll say they're spares for repairs and such, but wouldn't most of them begin to fail at the same time and in the same ways?

Not really but I'm omw to becoming a digital hoarder. After all, the data inside the software is what holds actual value. I like the idea of having every version of every game for most of the major consoles, at least. It's basically free, there's no reason not to do it if you really like videogames.

>Those guys are just making it harder for everyone else to find and afford variants
Agreed. The people who own a gorillion of one console are the reason why buying a single one of that console is so expensive. I have two N64's (one to play, one as back-up) and that's enough for me. I have a few dupes of some of my games that I got cheap many years ago, but I've been considering selling some of them. Let the next generation of gamers buy and witness these old games before the hardware inevitably fails.

So I played REmake (Gamecube version) on Dolphin emulator and I realized that the tank controls in this game are much worse than the 1996 one or any PS1 RE games. Who thought that making character rotate 90° with 0.5s delay instead of rotating freely like original RE was a good idea?

Shotgun in REmake is nerfed to shit compared to the original game. I think the assault shotgun you get later increases the chance of landing a crit, but it's not 100% like it was in the original.

everything was dumbed down. this game was the original "yellow tape". puzzles treat you like a retard, the clock one literally tells you
>mmmh... MAYBE it has to do with that painting on the side??
or the one where you have to carry the explosive solution that literally has red unskippable text, both when you take the empty container, and when you actually retrieve the substance.

lisa being unbeatable is said to you not throughout the game, but moments before you meet her. removing any kind of suspense since you know you just have to ignore her anyway. the places she appears in are designed with exactly this in mind. better design would have been forcing you to stun her to go through her with a few ammos, or using some environment trap to damage her momentarily. you know, actually interacting with the bitch.

as for the rest, everything is literally made opposite just for the sake of changing from the og game. not in a smart or interesting way.
>dogs burst through window when you go west to east
>now they do when you go east to west
>snakes appear after you open the dam

(instead of actually changing their design, since you can just IGNORE them. but alas, remake doesn't fix any of the original problems rather creates new ones.)
