cool retro characters trapped in mediocre/shit retro games

Earthworm Jim isn't bad per day but it certainly isn't very enticing either

I just realized today that I didn't have my DualSense on my MiSTer set to poll at 1000Hz and I was playing with an additional 5ms of input latency and higher variance this whole fucking time.

the fast usb polling script DOES NOT permanently apply 1000Hz polling, you have to manually add a line on the u_boot.txt file to tell MiSTer to always have 1000Hz polling active

(also it should go without saying, but make sure you're using the 'low lag' v-sync option in the ini file)

>>12683805
There are tons of chinkman controllers that are high quality
I won't say brand names or products, but with as little as $15 you have much better choices.

Even in shitholes like brazil, you can absolutely get a DS3/DS2 high quality clone for about $12, if you know which one to get.
Really, that's no excuse, come on...

It depends on the price. It would have been a neat gift for kids, a high quality plug and play with (comparatively) new games.

It's quick, smooth and satisfying. Combat choices affect the outcome details(eg how fast the battle ends, how much health you have left) without being try-hard and annoying, which is exactly what I'm looking for from a casual Final Fantasy game. It's very fun to play.

I like to replay Link's Awakening every July. It's something I do every summer. This and FF6 are the two games that I played a lot of in the summer as a kid.

Anyone else have a specific game that you like to play during a certain time of year because of personal nostalgia?

Back when I got it, I must have played FF7 4 times in the span of 2 years.

Nowadays, there's only a handful of games I replay every 5 years or so for nostalgia and they're light on story : Dune 2 PC (though my last last playthrough was on Megadrive when an anon on /vr/ shilled it), HoMM2 and Price of Loyalty campaigns, Settlers 2 and Might&Magic 3 to 5.

How do u feel about the switch remaster? I picked up a copy of it since I never actually played the OG back in the day for some reason. Played the hell out of alttp tho and usually beat that once every 2 years or so.

>>12683812
Not OP, but I really like the new art style plus being able to map items to the additional buttons. It does have a lot of framerate drops on the standard Switch though. It runs rock solid on Switch 2.

GBA is way more powerful than SNES even with SuperFX 2 chip. It also had more games, and with higher quality too, gameplay wise if nothing else. Literally the only downside is screen resolution and sound quality.
>>
>>12681296
GBC had more potential because it was no longer bound by the chains of 2.6 or 3.5MHz. So GBA arguably on a hardware level but actually SNES overall because of the better resolution and more original games. GBA games are more polished though. It also has a lot of remakes/remasters, both are great systems overall.

>>12682164
>GBA is way more powerful than SNES even with SuperFX 2 chip.

it only seems that way because its driving a fraction of the resolution.

If it had to drive a minimum screenrez of the SNES, that gap would evaporate.

Also, the GBA had no sound system to speak of. You had to use processor power to handle audio in software, or stream the audio from data and send it as 2 channel. In the SNES, the streaming options are almost non-existant, but the entire 8-channel sound system operated independent of the cpu and is handled with no main processing cost.

and what in God's name did they pick for the GBA such a garbage noisy crunchy DAC chip for, and then the nerve to re-use it in the DS?

anyways, despite the impression the big N was clearly ok to let people try to infer on the SNES's coattails, the GBA really as a system is different enough to compare more to the N64 than the SNES.

I've only seen a couple of his videos but he seems like a genuine "retro" gamer.

But holy shit, there's been a glut of new "girl gamers", none of whom could have been alive for anything other than the PS3 making "retro" videos. They're even making the same kind of "end of retro" gaming videos.

It's funny to think that some of them, if not most, are daughters of the kind of late Gen X/millennial girl who mocked the type of nerdy guys who were hardcore into anime and videogames back in the 90s/early 2000s. Have to wonder if the daughters realize this, or if their mothers recognize that the stupid Japanese cartoon with the blue short-haired girl that their daughters are buying figurines from, is the same show that the fat guy they mocked 25 years ago was jerking off to back then.

Why does it filters so many people?

One of the coolest stories in a video game. Straight up ripping off manga and the matrix (which itself borrowed heavily from manga/anime from what I understand) and very cool cliche from that time period. Love it. I remember it being incredibly hard, I need to replay it since I haven’t beaten since release but I remember loving the absolute shit out of the story and using super powered arms in first person.
>>
>>12683751
The game starts off insanely difficult because they throw you to the wolves with none of your powers. Once you at least get the ability to block bullets then it really picks up. By the end you're so strong the final boss and gauntlet feel like a well deserved victory lap, at least for me that's how it went. Awesome game, kinda bad first impression starting you off so weak, but sticking with it is worth it.

Do people really like this over Ocarina of Time, do they really want it to be remade after Oot? Not even Aonuma likes this game, I don't see it happening. They would sooner do Wind Waker afterwards.

I'll agree it seems to share some continuity.
I don't agree that makes it a "direct sequel" like you're saying.
>>
>>12683759
I don’t understand the difference. If Wind Waker takes place in the same Hyrule (albeit one that’s been buried beneath the sea) as Ocarina of Time, then yeah, I think it’s fair to refer to it as a sequel. Are you saying it can’t be a sequel since you’re not playing as that same Link?
>>
>>12683767
Wind Waker follows OoT's continuity, but not directly. A major off-screen event (Hyrule's flooding after the Hero of Time left) happens between them. WW references OoT often, but those are references—not a continuous, immediate follow-up story.
Zelda 2 is.
>>
>>12683771
Well, my point was that Wind Waker is taking place in the same continuity, just much later. The Ganondorf you fight at the end is the same one that Ocarina Link fought.
>>
>>12683784
>just much later
Then it's not a direct sequel

The amount of information divulged on 4chan is significantly less than R/A. You don't have to make an account or install surveilling software.
And you choose what to say.
If you wanna say nigger, sure, say nigger, tranny, kike, etc. This is not tied to any account and it'll be hard to trace back to you.

I'm indeed bothered because shit is a shitty ideologue that's being pushed, warping the fundamentals and misappropriating of what retro gaming means.
