Don't discard X1 at least, charge shot is OP and the movement is very fun, though it emphasizes platforming/exploration more. It's not like X4 but it's one of the best MM games nonetheless

>>12280080There's only one weapon but you can install different upgrades and attachments depending on what you want.For example... grenade attachment for alt firing nades and machine gun attachment for main. That way you have technically only one weapon. You can't be more compressed than that.
>>12280153Apparently the guy in the pic does.
>>12280208>its the same damn engineThat really doesn't mean much. TekWar and Duke3D are on the same engine. I very much suspect that you only like one of them.
>>12280226Yeah, I love TekWar how could you tell?

What's the weirdest way you've played a retro videogame?
>>12277824I played pokemon red on this thing at like 80% speed and no sound at school. It ran Palm OS, it was so fucking cool and I want one.
This is a good thread
I played like 75% of final fantasy 6 on PS2's Snes emulator. I was dented enough not to realize the game was running possibly 50% slower, maybe not as much, maybe 40 or 33, but real fucking slow. When I went to youtube and listen to the music did I realize of how braindead I was. Luckily I was able to transfer the save to another emulator on the PC and it worked.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S726qJGjwO8Also I loved that retarded intro music

That's it for today - I'll be back on New Year's Eve to round out all this dumb crap with something you might not have been expecting.
>>12278135Pingas
By the way, I thought I'd run this up the flagpole, see who salutes; I've discovered a bunch of tie-in novellas/novels for various /vr/ games, and I thought it might be fun to have a sort of book club, maybe start it in January. Basically, I'd start the thread, post a few chapters every day to give everyone time to read/discuss the story so far. I was thinking of having it be a weekly thing, maybe fortnightly if people prefer to space things out.Either way, I wanted to see what game people wanted to start off with, so I picked out a selectionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7vWiaxw7YGiven how the latest game in the franchise has gotten everyone thirsty af, I thought it'd be fun to look back to where it all began with the novelisation of the first Baldur's Gate as well as the BG2 novels. The reading level is par for any D&D novel i.e. teenagers and above, and there's three of them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqf8jID9TsEYes, this had tie-in books. Again, there's three of them, but these were for a younger audience, aimed at kids who were getting confident reading, so they should be the easiest to get throughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-i8HYi1QH0Yeah, I had to include this motherfucker. The reading level is somewhere between the two above options. There are four novellas, each one about the length of a Goosbumps book.https://strawpoll.com/QrgewGRaKyp
>>12278263I miss my wife tails
>>12278282That would be neat, but no one on this board reads books. They just want to relive 35-year-old console wars.
/vr/ LOOK OU-
>>12276957Ultimate Venom looks cool but it's a horrible take. Venom just being a big animalistic monster as well as being a manmade creation instead of an alien removes the whole creep factor and interesting factor of the original host symbiosis idea
>>12278776The purple sheen is nice but yeah
>>12278776He eats way more people in the game than in the comics. I always thought your worst enemy knowing your inner most thoughts was the creepiest part of venom
>>12279402Yeah Venom originally was more of a stalker villain who yes overpowered Spider-Man but the horror aspect was more like a slasher villain than a mindless animal monster just out to devour. He's this stealthy stalker always knowing and lurking, AND you can't beat him hand to hand, he's basically like Michael Myers or Predator with some visual cues of Alien with the teeth and slime
I have to give Capcom props on a good Venom
Let's talk about Gex.
>>12278754Reminder that the claim that the series sold 15 million copies came from an unsourced Wikipedia sentence which retarded journalists parroted.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gex_(series)
Isn't it ironical that Crystal Dynamics created the blueprint that everyone would copy for "2.5D" platformers with Pandemonium, only to drop it for this "3D" platformer style?Also, should I play the Saturn or PSX version of Solar Eclipse aka Titan Wars?
>>12280147>Isn't it ironical that Crystal Dynamics created the blueprint that everyone would copy for "2.5D" platformers with PandemoniumClockwork Knight came out first.
>>12280163Clockwork Knight remains on purely going left to right 2D plane, it doesn't have all the level design rotation and multipaths that became a staple of the "2.5D platformer" genre
>>12278754Tell me about Gex, why does he wear the glasses?
What are the best levels from classic 2D Mario games?
For some reason Awesome from Mario World has always stuck in my mind. It's the only one like it iirc, I like the arch platforms and the color pallet. Another level that I always remember is that one where depending on the number on the timer, or maybe it was how many coins you had I don't remember, the pipe would take you to different areas of the level. Mario World has a lot of weird things that only show up in singular levels and I always wished it did more with the stuff it has but I guess that's what makes the levels in the game as memorable as they are.
>>12275653I miss those old Mario fan sites
>>12277887That pic is actually from Seanbaby's NES Page which was one of the first websites to do irreverent video game humor. I remember finding the page back in the 90s and thinking it was the funniest thing I'd ever read. Like tears streaming down my face laughing. Most of the old pages are hidden now but you can find them on Google.
>>12278276Seanbaby is a massive gaylord homosexual now, but in the 90s and 90s, he was undoubtedly the funniest thing on the internet.
>>12275653>be every western child who played Mario in the 80s/90s>Kuribo's Shoe the most legendary item of all time>always wonder who this majestic giant, Kuribo, must be>find out "kuribo" was just what goombas were called in the original>exact same kuribo as that thing from Yugioh>it just means something vaguely like "lil chestnut", the japanese equivalent of calling a small person in english "spud" or "sprout"Never look up your heroes...
I think I figured out how to save the Nintendo 64
>>12279950Yeah, they should have told Sega to go fuck themselves and have them cancel Shining Force III
>>12279901Hell, it would've saved the Saturn.
>>12279901Would all the stuff from Golden Sun 1 & 2 on GBA have even FIT on a 64 meg N64 cartridge, assuming everything was rendered with polygons?Supposedly that was the original plan, but I somehow doubt it would've worked out at all.Also, is /vr/ a Mia or Jenna board?
>>12280127>>12279901I think it would have saved the PlayStation too
>>12280192Jenna
The thinking man's Zelda II.
The patrician man’s Zelda II
>>12275535The only game that ever actually successfully copied Zelda 2 properly
>>12276708Wasn’t that a Tenacious D song?https://youtu.be/FL4HSiGvk68
For me it's wizards and warriors 3
>>12275535>thinkingNo so much thinking as memorizing obtuse routes. Which was part of the gameplay in the Zelda 2 palaces, but BoO takes it to a rather extreme degree.
Metal Sonic is much cooler than Wario or Bass
>>12276375Surprised the Sonic Mania blokes didnt try to add him in as a boss fight.
>>12275676You're thinking of Shadow.
>>12277404Well, that's because IGNorant convinced SEGA to have them butcher the entire fight up to Phantom Metal
>>12272008Agree
>>12272008he's got a great design but his race blows, fuck that cheating faggot>>12272049>>12273125wario is way better as an antihero than a rival, it just gets in the way of getting filthy rich (see: wl1's ending). waluigi's rivalry with luigi is better with its arbitary one-sided obsession
The coping man's Super Mario Bros. 2.
>>12278518Not 3, but World does suck.

>>12278681Ok so long as we can take turns playing Mario Madness.

My favourite of the old Marios.
post and/or discuss cool action puzzle games and hopefully even rom hackspic related is Goof Troop
>>12278926The Thinking Man's Disney game.
>>12278926>Goof TroopShinji Mikami's greatest game?
I like Moai Kun
This game had no business looking as good as it did
So, uh, was Meteor defeated by Aeris from beyond the grave?
>>12280035He probably doesn't know what the ending means because they were basically vagueposting in vidya form. FF stories have no real narrative, that's why fans fill in the gaps. It's the Emperor's New Clothes as a series.
>>12280035Could be ghosts, or Red's.
>>12280045it had a pretty clear narrative (albeit with an unreliable narrator) until the end. either way though, vague endings are often the best endings for more complicated stories. it's more interesting to discuss your ideas among others than have something strange happen or just the usual forced happy end shoehorn.
>>12280219The narrative isn't that clear, there's a lot of nonsense and weak motivations from the villain, though it certainly beats FF8.I think it's better to have a point and not hide behind "open interpretations" when you actually aren't provoking any real thought with your work. Besides, Kitase shit on that directly himself, so it obviously wasn't done artistically, they were just mimicking other people's narratives.
>>12280235okay true about the villain(s?), although that's part of the unreliable narrator too considering his body (and possibly mind) has been dead for years.i see what you mean with having a point, but i don't think you have to leave that to the ending necessarily. you can simply express that throughout the work itself, although granted in ff7's case there were many diverging viewpoints among the cast.
Does Pokémon yellow: special edition still hold up today
>>12279543nidoran is the speedrun pokemon for a reason.
>>12273285damn son that pikachu looks PISSED
>>12273464It's still useful as a flyer in Gen 1 unless you're using one of the legendary birds.
>>12273285it holds up as much as red/blue does
>>12273285>Does it hold up?In what way? Are you asking if zoomers will enjoy it? Hell no. Do I still enjoy it? Yes.
wtf was his problem?
>>12279828>reference you a page number in the instruction manual where the dialogue was physically printed outthat was half the soul of the forgotten realms games
>>12279596>lazy writingNonsensical statement. I could do that too.Flashbacks are gay.Scenes the protagonist can't see directly are gay.This is a video game, it should be from the perspective of the main character and not have "meanwhile" scenes.
to be fair the warlord had to be overtly evil otherwise the player might suspect that the caretaker was gaslighting them the entire game and the ancients were the real bad guys all along
>>12276505Just stopping by to thank you for what you do.Across fourchan, this is way of thinking is rare.
