I wasn't actually impressed after my first playthrough either. But then I couldn't stop thinking about the game and I replayed it and that's when it clicked with me.

>>12277695
It *is* a remake but the graphical style, tone and entire gameplay balancing are completely different. What I like about the original game is its unique atmosphere that's somewhere in between post apocalyptic despair and comfyness, it's like imagine we're 50 to 100 years in the future after Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and people have started settling back into the world. Instead the remake is more like 00's anime and is all about wackyness, and focuses more about all the new extra content it brings to the point that the main story often feels like a "sideshow" they felt obligated to deal with (you don't even have to use any of the main characters from the original, like ever, they're just there among) to the point it feels completely diluted. It's like the remake expected everyone to already be familiar with the original so might as well tell new stories, which is why it's dumb to pretend like it doesn't matter that if we don't have the original translated because we have the remake.
>>
Romancing SaGa 2 is easily my favorite. The concept of bringing other nations under your kingdom is great. Then how the main bosses can change depending when during the game you confront them is awesome as well. None the less it is the introduction to the glimmer/sparking mechanics in which you learn weapon skills mid battle. I also enjoy that it encourages the player to use status effects on standard enemies like mass blind foes, stun lock threats that can one or two shot guys, or paralyze them so you can cut down weaker enemies.

If Yellow had Misty following you around, and yelling at you for fucking up her bike, and being angry and jealous whenever you talk to another girl, but when you become champion she congratulates you and kisses you on the cheek, I would consider it to be one of the best RPGs of all time.

Atari should make an FPGA version of this thing with a mechanical keyboard. Everyone is in love with the new Commodore 64, hell even IGN gave the thing a perfect score and uploaded a 20 minute video glazing the thing. If the guys running Atari today have any brains they'll do the same thing with one of their old computers.

there arent that many good games but it does do some types of graphics better than c64 despite limited palette. I found one for $40 at the worlds longest yard sale and got it running with a disk emulator but the only games I really enjoyed were Picnic Panic and some Gauntlet clone

Why? I mean the thing is emulated perfectly. It has practically zero peripherals other than joysticks. What is there really to do with an FPGA in this case? With a C64 you can see why, you can use carts, expansion bay stuff. And that shit's out there floating around, piles of it. What if you could plug in Atari add-ons into an FPGA Atari 8-bit computer what then? You'd be hard pressed to figure anything out to do with it.

Without mentioning any brand this time because it really isn't an ad, does anyone else almost entirely use wireless receivers in their retro consoles? I'm waiting on a Gamecube one to play Metroid and Rogue Leader
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>12279430
I switched to purely wireless controllers since I moved to a bigger home and I don't miss the wires one bit. I've had much better results using adapters and conversion kits than with third party controllers, further testament to just how well console manufacturers were making their crap back in the day.
>>
>>12279430
gamecube is a case where sometimes you might want the original controller. mostly due to the weird way the triggers feel where they have a kinda button when you fully press them in. And various other things like octagonal gating on sticks and the button layout all add up

>>12279585
I played Perfect Dark with an OEM N64 controller I put a GC-style stick in. I'll brute force a little inaccuracy or extra precision for comfort

I believe if you want to be the absolute best you can be at video games you should probably pick one controller design and just stick with it for everything.

You also didn't mention anything unique to 3rd Strike besides training mode shit and the gay paris. Canceling specials into super has been normal for an eternity and almost every Arc System Works game that isn't Granblue has crouching only combos.

>let’s turn this GBA spin off into a mandatory story important game
What the fuck was Nomura thinking? It’s been over 20 years and I’m still baffled at this decision. The rule always used to be that portable games were side stories or self contained events. Now you’re forced to have a PS2 and GBA in order to understand the Kingdom Hearts story.

That is a GREAT question. I played through everything including the goddam mobage UX, and I STILL have no fucking clue what's going on.

I had the same thing happen. Apparently that's not what you're supposed to do and there's a way to get through quickly. Idk maybe that's just some bullshit and I'm] misremembering. But it totally fucked the whole game up for me because I was done after that.
>>
>>12279468
Same. I can sit down and try to remember what happened in each game and then maybe peice something together. But off the top of my head I have no idea what's going on. Isn't that nomura guy just and artist and not a writer? I wonder how he came to be in charge. Maybe paying the animator to write the story was the Disney inspired way to do it or something

Which is impressive because I didn't even have a pussy when I put my quarter in.
>What was your last clear?
I finally got a copy of Puchi Carat working correctly. At first the later opponents seemed impossible, but after I discovered the "intentionally damage yourself to get extra gems and kill the opponent instantly" strategy, the game got a lot more manageable.
I played as C-Moon (she's so cute), and her ending was amazing and it's easily my favorite part of the game so far.
>What will you play next?
Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

it greatly depended on what type of games you played and whether you read gaming magazines and manuals. ape escape was the showcase for the controller, it had a bunch of things you could do to demonstrate using it like driving the remote control car or paddling on a raft. if you read magazines, they made this a big deal to sell the controller.

Nintendo made it so that you could only play Smash with the damn stick instead of the obvious choice, the pad?, considering their stick was of poor lastability.

Yeah people who suck up the WII U and Switch shit controllers can go fuck themselves.
