was he a good king?
>>11512983Zalbag needed more character development.He should've been wounded by Dycedarg with a poisoned crossbow bolt at the start of battle, persisted through to the esper fight, then when Adramalek dies he should've said something like I'm taking you with me. After that Zalbag is either teleported away, Zalbag shoves Ramza aside and gets hit with a spell intended for Ramza, or Zalbag stabs & hugs Adramalek like that one kid did to a suicide bomber and disappears with Adramalek as the esper explodes. Add a line like "I'm sorry for everything Ramza, but you must survive to finish this."
>>11513730That sounds terribleThe late rebellion against Dycedarg and the zombie kill me thing was enough to make me find him endearing and brotherly. Any more than that is just too much drippy sentimentality. The guy he owed a full redemptive death to was Delita, not Ramza.
>>11512983I like Zalbaag dying because of the "the house of Beoulve is finished forever" element.Also you definitely don't need yet another divine knight at that point in a 5 (4 minus Ramza) deployment slot game.
>>11509786This is the dumbest fucking analysis of Final Fantasy Tactics I have ever seen and trust me, I have seen some shit.
>>11514050thats what i was getting at with my conclusion. the event breaks zalbaag. since hes a better soldier then leader hes unfit to restore the family name. so either he stays and fails/dies or drops his role/rank and joins you. both choices preserve the original intention. for the latter case his class would have to be reimagined as hes clearly a generic 1 time after thought
I'm making a modpack where the game is actually finished with extra features such as Shadow the Hedgehog and Hyper forms.>new characters from the Chaotix to Flicky(no modern or tranny shit, just sonic kino plus mario)>finished red volcano zone>finally finished dark city and grand eggship>old stages are coming back such as mine maze>everyones super>hyper form possible>most of it's OST are indev >restore unused content such as eggrock bossThe SRB2 community is full of shit anyways (imagine treating mods as "intellectual property" at the same time as "art" where you MUST have a "license" to even use it on an open-source game), so there's no issue to "steal" them from the "artists.".If you have an idea of what I should add, then don't hesitate to ask.
>>11510107Ironic considering Flicky came first than Sonic
>>11509856Slopes were added during the 2.1 days. There's nothing wrong with them when used well, like in 2.2s campaign and plenty of late 2.1/early 2.2 community maps.It's literally a big part of the Sonic series' core gameplay and something they had repeatedly tried bringing to SRB2 for years
>>11512156It all comes to most mod makers are retarded enough to make them shitty in late 2.2 community maps. Like there was a case when you attempt a spindash at them, you just stop instead of going up like you except.
>>11513527neo palmtree panic has some of the best uses of it imo.

If you could only have 1 retro console and 5 games for it, what would you choose?
>>11501421PS2:>Timesplitters 2>THUG2>Gran Turismo 4>Sonic Mega Collection Plus>DMC3
>>11501421Super Nintendo>Wild Guns>Sunset Riders>Contra III: The Alien Wars>Pocky and Rocky>Final Fight
>>11509167I considered Fuzion Frenzy but there are too many unfun minigamesI considered Shenmue II but I would really have rather had a more straightforward life sim
>>11513827you can have good multiplayer with Guitar Hero II and Star Wars Battlefrontsame can't be said for the SNES titles, right?i picked my list mostly on the basis of playing with other people, minimizing singleplayer to absolute essentials / standouts
>>11513864I like SA2 and CVS2 (for the most part)>Segagagahttps://youtu.be/4ejH8c-ZEuA?si=LE0UgxIunxkPTmGioh wow
I love the retro aesthetic in HL2.The retro PC everywhere are beautiful especially nowadays. Most locations will have a PC in them.However I have to ask is there any in universe logic for the resistance to use PCs on most locations?Like why would they have a PC? HL1 is all in a government facility so the computers make sense since they are used to send messages or run simulations or write reports.However why would there by PCs in other resistance locations? What are they using for a PC? Especially a PC that ma can be from the year 2004 (or 1998? When did the invasion start?).>They use them to record data from measurements.In science places yes however WTF are they measuring in normal rebel outposts?Radios make sense for communication however why PCs?>Security cameras.Comment too long.

>>11513787anon you are watching clickbait brainrot on youtube. Little bit of projection going on.
>>11514621>anon you are watching clickbait brainrot on youtubeThat brainrot literally has real calculations that can teach you about the real world.Like this!https://youtu.be/AqcKzEP_6PU?t=120Did Tik Tok deprave you zoomers so hard?
>>11514693Alright buddy, time to get back on your meds.
>>11514693anon please stop making yourself retarded. Tik tok isn't the only form of brainrot.
I miss racing games like this, where the only way to win was the cut every turn as tightly as possible and one wrong move ruined the entire race. Kids can't handle the pressure these days and they're racing tanks with space laser power-up booster bullshit
>>11512965>Road RashThe motorbike in Burnout Paradise is the closest thing to a modern-ish Road Rash game we can get. If that game had a modding scene they could make it a reality.
>>11512965The best way to play road rash is by emulating the 3DO version and increasing clock speeds to you get consistent, high fps. 3DO version has the best music too.
>>11512535>I miss racing games like this, where the only way to win was the cut every turn as tightly as possible and one wrong move ruined the entire raceSim racing is literally like this and 90% of modern racing games are simulators. It's arcade racers, where you would bump into the opponents the whole race and still win, have disappeared.
>>11513851Moto Racer is arcade. And arcade racers are like that in the hardest difficulty
>>11513773Nobody else makes serious motorcycle games, really. The other motorcycle games that exist are Kylotonn's TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge series, and PiBoSo's GP Bikes, which aims to be rFactor/Assetto Corsa for two-wheelers.You basically need a full body controller (similar to those you find in arcades for those games) for a realistic control similar to a steering wheel in a car-based simulator, and that's just not viable.
Does anyone know how to change the keybinds on this? It's unplayable without being able to remap controlsI loved X-Wing and Tie Fighter but not being able to change controls on this one stopped me from playing it
Bump for interest
I'm pretty sure you can remap the keys. what your problem? Not knowing where to? Did you do it and it didn't work?
>>11512084With Babu Frik's settings configuratorhttps://www.xwaupgrade.com/Don't play this vanilla
Every single mission he gives except Grand Theft Aero sucks. It's like the entire point of this character was to stack the shittiest missions in the game
>>11513302do you think he and the old oriental gentlemen fugged?
>>11514336that's President Trump™, mister
>>11514431Why would he know about things that happened before he was born?
>>11514274>drive to boat>get in>go to the point ear the airport>wait for the fucking plane to circle around>miss the fucking thing with the rpg/somehow fall into the fucking water after getting the packageshate that shit
>>11513302>>11513318Only Escort Service sucks
Wtf this is probably the best co-op shooter on console
This is the best fighting game ever made even if you disagree
>>11513080It would've gotten more people into Soulcalibur if they didn't make SC3 PS2 exclusive. Seriously, Bamco must've been given a huge bribe by Sony to keep the game PS2 exclusive and not include the console with the largest install base of their previous game. That's just asking for failure.
>muh Link, muh NintendoEvery fucking thread. SCII on the gamecube was a mistake.
>>11512853What's wrong with that? It got me into SC and after that I bought SC4 and 6
>>11512642sounds awesome for single player which is all I want. are the RPG mechanics better?
>>11511327>Because you dumb fucks are not interested in having a discussion, you just spam the board with low effort threadsYou mean the whole website?
Post weird /vr/ ports
>>11501004>This is perhaps the earliest game to employ a "retro graphics" option. You can choose to play with the new graphics, or the original Saturn graphics. It isn't on the fly, but the first game I can think of that did this in the west was Halo: Anniversary Edition on 360mario all-stars on the snes
>>11513075Usually really bad though. DOS, C64 and Amiga Castlevanias are so bad, the AVGN is preparing a special high budget episode about it (it's supposed to tarnish the Amiga reputation forever)
>>11513737There are no graphics options in Mario All Stars to use the NES visuals, I think you're misunderstanding his post.
>>11503948Dragon Knight 3 also got the same smut-free SNES port by Banpresto, too. And speaking of GBC, there's picrel.
Theres something about the games on this system that makes them feel other worldly and comfy. NES games have the same feel but on Gameboy it is amplified. Any psychological or scientific explanations for this? Also, post your favorite original Gameboy games.
>>11513685It isn't, and dumbasses like you aren't worth having a conversation with.
you couldn't actually see the pixels on the original gameboy
>>11513652Too bad that most of the GameBoy games suck dick. The only good one is Donkey Kong.
>>11514694Kirby is good too
>>11514653They literally advertise the pixels grid on the front of the console itself....
What are your thoughts on the Ecco games? I rarely see anyone talking about any of them besides the original / its Sega CD version. Are Tides of Time, Ecco Jr. and Defender of the Future worth playing? And has anyone played Ecco Jr. and the Great Ocean Treasure Hunt?
>>11510919Sega should have made these like point an click adventure games, like kings quest and so on. Very much a "mood" game, but god damn are they ever punishing at certain points.
>>11510919It's like Ariel: The Little Mermaid on SEGA Genesis... but worse.
>>11510919I got kinda filtered on the first or second level. Couldn't find out where to go, so I dropped it.
>>11514456Same. That early cave level was rough when I was a kid.Then I revisited it around 2016. It was still very cool and had that mysterious feel. But I wasn't having fun in that same level, so i flushed it.
>>11510919Love all the main games. They have amazing atmosphere, unique ideas, and they're very fun to play if they click with you.Ecco JR. is a game aimed at very little kids. You have to accomplish a bunch of small tasks and there's no Game Over. It's a curiosity.
Anyone else love old clunky esoteric confusing difficult games and talk them up constantly but then actually sit down to play them and realize that you actually are incredibly put off by the problems..?It's not even super major things, sometimes. Even just the tiniest fucking thing that wouldn't have bothered me as a kid and probably don't bother most of /vr/ just filter me as an adult. Using the shoulder buttons to turn instead of the dualshock thumbstick is enough to turn me away from so many great games and I feel terrible about this.
>>11514140The graphics were groundbreaking upon release though. You can do your twee little LARP about the 1995 polygons and what people thought of them, but you'll always be wrong.
Fuck you dorks I like it Eat my dirty asshole and choke on my 8 inch ass hairs
>>11513785>>11513789>>11513808I beat that fucking game, man. Very interesting overall with unique gameplay mechanics and stellar atmosphere. And yes that cave was as bad as the fire world if not worse but from that point and til the ending the game had been getting progressively easier. One thing's for sure, it's way more challenging than any of the King's Field games and I'm not even sure if I'd recommend it to fans of the series, it just feels way too different
I liked Arx fatalis but I just don't have the patience to discover on my own a whole world anymore. Feels like I'm wasting my time. Would've loved it as a kid though.
Holy shit this game has s o v l off the charts
>>11508970proto system ShockLoved it
>>11510951Redneck rampage? What about Nigger chimpout now?
>>11510951The levels are hit & miss, some great stuff but also some annoying shitMost levels are less open than the first one though, there is also another one like this (the first of episode 2)
>>11510951It's shit
I somehow ended up with Gothic 1/2/3 on steam from some shitty keysite.is it worth playing or is it generic western RPG slop?
>>115129091 and 2 are legit both among the best games ever made.
>>11512909better off replaying morrowind to be desu
Didn't pay much attention back in the day, but played the game again last year and noticed how neatly the whole gamut was chosen. It's just aesthetically pleasing even though one may say it's too gloomy.
>>11513294>>11512909It was made in Germany. That should tell you everything you need to know
All three are good despite the basically non-existent story in 3.
