what beat em ups have you been playing /vr/?on a side note: holy fucking shit setting up joy2key with neko project 2 was a fucking nightmare and no don't ask I have no idea how I got it to work

>>11518567Get the parfait!!!
>>11518880Hold on, let me get the meat inst-
>>11518567>sailor moon beat em upsIm just grateful that even in an all cute girls game, one of them is still a haggar.Also shout outs to the command grab whip lady in the mega drive game.

Also known as the Lookin' Good general. Anyways, post your shaders! Either what you're using now, what you're working on, or just screenshots you happen to like. Memes are fine too, it's good to make fun of ourselves from time to time I think.
>>11518467sRGB (and the various larger current color spaces like DCI-P3) uses a gamma exponent of 2.2 while CRT displays usually were around 2.4. Every CRT shader of note accounts for this.
Already dropped this in /hhg/, figured I might as well post it here too. Yes they look like shit but they are made for shit, for $50 emulation handhelds with low-res screens that can't really use any decent shaders, they're not aimed desktop PCs with 1440p monitors. These are just slapped together using super lightweight shaders that come by default in Retroarch to allow full performance even in PS1 games on systems that can barely handle PS1 as-is. Why post them here then?...anyway, here they are if anyone's interested.https://files.catbox.moe/abhc6v.zip
>>11519617>These are just slapped together using super lightweight shadersWhich ones are they using as a base?
>>11519627They all use zfast crt geo svideo, ossc (scanlines), image adjustment, and then a mix of convergence, sharp bilinear simple, and kawase glow, depending on which version you're looking at, plus some parameter tweaks.
>>11519617Whoops, mixed up the regular and no-glo sharp screenshots on Phantasy Star there.
There was nothing else like this
That shit looks gay as fuck, you know how Yu Gi Oh and Bakugan look like they are knockoff anime but then you learn that they were actually made in Japan and you're like wtf
>>11519504what are some other games that let you play as a micro? The only one I can think of on the top of my head is Chibi-Robo.
>>11519504Except for Custom Robo, Virtual On and all the other games like this
>>11519610Ichigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san
Is it just me or does anyone else prefer 5th gen over 6th gen? Not to completely knock 6th gen, it was the 2nd or 3rd best generation of gaming. But 5th gen had more charm & variety.>consoles were distinguishable>most experimental phase of gaming>God-tier PC library>gaming was less mainstream>AAA games weren't a thing>most groundbreaking titles>best FPS games>best CRPGs>best JRPGs>best simsIt had its fair share of downs, but it was the most unique gen of gaming.

>>11519614“All mogged by… Suikoden V”Come now, the first two Suikodens shit on the PS2 ones.
The ps1 was just superior.However if I could rewrite history I would have it so the ps1 was a little better, like having a z buffer, so it could truly shit all over the inferior alternatives.
>>115191625th gen is probably my favorite in terms of nostalgia, even though I began with the 4th one. Mostly because of what this anon says >>11519206I think 6th gen is overrated as hell. I enjoy some titles but for me the industry was taking a decline in engagement.
I hate FM synthesis. Shit sounds cooooooooooooooornyyyyyyyyyyyy.

What was the best retro wrestling game ?
>>11518056>>11519115Cool, will do. I appreciate all the recommendations. Down with covid at the moment so I'm beating some of my backlog and I figured the Aki games are coming up soon, plus I've been meaning to give Wrestling a watch for ages. Might as well do it while a flood of snot is flowing down my nose.
>plug in WCW/nWo Revenge>choose Kevin Nash>yup it's kino time
not this one
A rare ljn banger, the title music takes me right backhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukrUSPeRZws

>requires you to take your GBA out into the sun to play the game properly>can't see shit because the GBA screen isn't backlitHow did this get four games?
>>11519437Go do some research beyond just what dermatologists sponsored by Johnson & Johnson say.Fact: Skin cancer occurrence has been rapidly increasing with the adoption of stronger sunscreens.Fact: Vitamin D is a key factor in cancer prevention in the body.Fact: Skin produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, but does not when the sunlight is blocked by sunscreen.Now just put some of these facts together to start understanding the full picture.
>>11519447>Johnson & Johnson And there it is. So that's what this is about. You're an anti-vaxxer and that didn't pan out for you so you're looking for something adjacent.There's no point engaging with you any further. Nothing's gonna pull you out of this hole.
>>11519608You do understand that Johnson & Johnson is a company that makes sunscreen and other skin care products under its umbrella, right? The covid vaccine I, and everyone I know, took was made by Pfizer and I have literally never met a person who got a vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson. Your leap in logic is retarded, we're talking about sunscreen and skin cancer.
>>11519608The J&J vaccine for covid was a traditional vaccine and not a MRNA vaccine
>>11519608>vaccines out of nowhereYou are mindbroken.
ITT: games that are crap but have great music/soundtracks. The game that comes to my mind is the Shitty 3DO port of Doom, where the music is actually good CD quality garage cover band material but the gameplay itself is so awful I can't play it for more than 20 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mnb6ehhe1Y

>>11517810FFMQ isn't even a bad game, it's just arguably an unnecessary one. Its intent is to be a very easygoing introductory title to JRPGs, an attempted gateway drug, and in my opinion it does that competently, it's an overall well put together game which is easy by design.The question was more if this was necessary, and the answer ended up being that it ultimately wasn't, because eventually Pokémon comes out, and it too works as entrylevel JRPG, but it's a more attractive and widely visible one.As it is, if you have a kid of your own, FFMQ would be a completely functional way of teaching a 5 year old a lot of the basics of videogame concepts, and it would probably do that well because it has nice cartoony graphics and cool music which would help keep one's attention.
Pick a random (score based) arcade game and post your high score. If you see a score and think you can beat it then go for it! Kicking things off with some humble Space Invaders.Previous thread: >>11479090
>>11517996Not super satisfied with this score, but it's super late right now so it'll have to do for right now kek.
>>11518025Best I could do for now. Might try again later.
>>11519042Looked up the ghost patterns and it really helped change how I approach them. My goal is 50k.
>>11519506Keep at it.
I could never beat tekken 5 arcade on very hardthe last boss was cheating
Games you loved as a kid but realized were shit when you got older.
>>11518974>>>11519196God, this game was so cool as a kid. Not even nostalgia can save it as an adult.
>>11518974For me, that game is Sonic Adventure DX on GameCube. I used to love playing this game growing up despite the jank and stupid emblems to collect. But revisiting it 20 years later, it is okay but has lots of collision issues, and things that did not port well from the Dreamcast version which I found out later. It's just tedious and not enjoyable to me anymore and I much prefer Adventure 2.
>>11518974Spyro 3I got to rhynoc skating and just deleted the game off my drive.
any of the 6th gen spyro/crash games
>>11519563the only good game they made was starfox adventures
>>11519564They were going to be bought by nintendo after hoping they would buy them out 4 years prior. The stampers wanted out and needed money to maintain, plus there was the fucking furshit adventures debaucle that went delayed and reworked as per Nigamoto's quality control. At the 11th hour microsoft outbid both nintendo and activision with a boatload more then they were asking for and Nintendo declined to buy it and proceeded to sell their 49% of the company.
>>11519568>>11519572LolLmaoThey gave the main character of their Zelda competitor the same type pf DK redesign people are complaining about now when they wanted to scrap her after they tried desperately for 2 years to try to turn Ciggy's railshooter into an adventure game. Halfway into development were denied any more funding due to this deal happening, which would leave the game mostly incomplete.But really how could they care when they got 300+ mil?
Why was DK64 made?
>>11519563>>11519572>>11519585So OP, the moral of the story is that as a company who wanted to "make games the world doesn't have", they should not have gone to work for another company who simply wants to use you to make the same games over and over. What happened after Nintendo was Microsofts fault partially because they had them work on 360/other stuff in the gaming department as they were just entering the field. Also Halo/CoD took the wind out of everyones sails really, the games they released were antiquated in that they were developed over the course of 3 consoles in some cases. Now that they're situated they still make bank, but Microsoft is now a shit company for gaming. They made Sea of Thieves and that's basically the only thing "modern" that people know of.>>11519589Nintendo commissioned it, but they were given most of the creative freedom as they already understood the characters/did good 3d work. They wanted to utilize/advertise the expansion pak too. Also they were basically the only other company carrying the N64 as other devs were more inclined to go to PS1.It's basically the same reason they gave metroid prime 4 back to Retro.
I do not care for Doom
>>11517783So you insist upon yourself?
>>11517553I could have swore when I looked at this thread the other day it said Zelda, not Doom
>>11517783Who else /wantstofuckloisgriffin/ here?
>>11517556>Doom IIthe sandy petersen maps INSIST upon themself
>>11518209>instead of having a bunch of fun, low hp mobs to kill you get 2 or 3 ultratanky enemies at a timeHonestly, that's part of why I prefer playing Quake maps over Doom maps. I'd rather fight a shambler while dealing with a few fiends and ogres at the same time over spamming my BFG/RL at a horde of fodder enemies for half a hour.
I'm looking into playing an old Final Fantasy on emulator. I've got:FF III on DSFF IV on SNES, GBA, DS (also a translated jp ver fsr)FF V on GBAFF VI on SNES, GBAFF Tactics AdvanceFF Tactics A2Which of these should I start with? The only Final Fantasy experience I have is playing the first one on the phone years ago, but I'm fine with playing a hard one. Also how much of a difference is there between versions?
>>11517265>"FF2" is absolute dog shit even if it has sovlstupid exaggeration, but yeah there's not much reason to play that version anymore
>>11517794If it's the one I'm thinking, I actually do know that one unfortunately, if only because it's so famous. I know very little else about FF VII though, besides the characters. I would tend to doubt Square spoiled that though, since at that point they were making AAA games>>11517845QRD on why the JP version is better? Is it just a more faithful translation or are there other major differences?
>>11517227If you're only going to play one, then 5 is probably the definitive FF.
>>11517794Yes. Not only do they show the moment, the narrator explains what's going on out loud at full volume.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxVgDgQSk8s>>11517905>Is it just a more faithful translation or are there other major differences?"Final Fantasy II" USA is censored, abridged, made vastly easier, and has large chunks of gameplay completely taken out.It is easier than Easytype and removes more of the story than Easytype does. It's like Easytype times two.I don't think there's any reason at all to play it unless you're specifically nostalgic for it.
>>11519462I think you're confusing it with Mystic Quest
it could be a revolutionary concept, mechanic, nostalgia, gameplay, music, etc.for me itd be Donkey Kong Country 2, the fun i had with it as a kid is so memorable, back then i didnt have internet, so i had to discover everything on my own, and i played it daily nonstop till i discovered everything.
yoshi's cookiemultiplayer was a blast
>>11515434Super Metroid - Blew my mind when I was much much younger. Great OSTMortal Kombat 2 - Music and nostalgia cause it was my first fighting game everSpanky's Quest - Dumb nostalgia and music. Also I love the attacking mechanics.Chrono Trigger - Same as Super Metroid, it's the best RPG of the system.Kirby Super Star and Super Mario All Stars - I love compilation games. And whilst I mostly play SM2 and SM3 when play SMAS, with KSA I always play them all, cause the games are shorter but much more fun
I love playing Kirby super star. had so much fun with it as kid.same about super bomerman 1, it was simple but fun. always played with my sister
>>11515434Unirally (or Uniracers), the only flat-ass 2D racing game that feels more "real", thrilling, fast, than any 3D racing game ever
>>11515434FF6because it's the second best FF (after 3)
And no having "too sexy" women isn't a flaw or a legitmate criticism.
>>11510720Don''t go into my mind palace, Shadi. There are traps (the bad kind) and spikes and things.
>>11518084keyword is "started" nimrod
>>11508618>Xbox exclusiveSounds like you were poor. The game sold so well they kept making them until fighters were failing to sell everywhere. Then they forced them on every crevice of a console/pc they could. Still, fightan is struggling to sell to this day.
>>11518972Yeah, as in "they started to do this with DOA5"How many games have they made since 5, again? And I sure hope you're being ironic with your use of nimrod
it bothers me we'll never get a complete version of doa 1 and doa 2.for instance look at 2 ultimate.it added 10 stages but basically removed 8 for no reason.also removed the ability to select tengu's stage even though it exists (and in several seasons)
