That's pretty cool actually. Did you two ever get around to beating the game as adults together? Do you ever go around saying "this is just like that one part from the Blade game" to one another?

>Did you two ever get around to beating the game as adults together?

I was able to beat it as a kid eventually but she never did. The first time I flew out to see her as young adults is when I noticed she had a copy and she told me she would never get past that part without getting crushed by the walls. I did if for her and she then best the rest of the game while I watched that evening. It's a nice memory.

>Do you ever go around saying "this is just like that one part from the Blade Game"

In the same way people would bring up a line from LotR or reference media in a situation. Sometimes I bring up I had to beat that part for her as a really retarded playful jab when she acts helpless about stuff like helping carry groceries.

Finally playing this for the first time.
Is it supposed to be this hard?
I'm going in blind and playing on 00 Agent because it seems to be like Thief where higher difficulties have more objectives, but I'm getting my ass kicked on every mission.
I've tried the second visit to the Soviet Bunker like 50 times and still can't beat it.

Goddamn retarded modern gamer completionist mentality. Play on normal first and then replay on higher difficulties. Don't like it? Stick to hunting achievements in modern games.

Love Goldeneye but the AI in this game is dumb as fuck. you can literally walk circles around them and they can't shoot you, you just suck dude
>>
>>12683098
I realized that, they also can't shoot you if you're right against them, but that doesn't work when there's more than 1 NPC and in tight corridors like inside this fucking bunker.
>>
Yeah it is. Certain missions have respawning enemies, and on 00 Agent you have less armor pick up spots. I highly recommend using silent weapons in places like the Bunker and Archives, otherwise you'll eventually be overwhelmed.
>>
>>12682937
Use the 2 controller control scheme and disable autoaim.
Get good, the game isn't hard. Try using cover or stealth occasionally.

I'm just playing it for the first time and it's great, better than any of the SNES games. Visuals and sound are top notch, stages are actual uniqje and memorable with some gimmicks to keep them fresh, bosses actually have fun patterns to learn instead of just facetanking them with their weakness.

So why is it so reviled by fans? They just don't like the new aesthetic?

I'm 26, which is about as zoomer as you can get.
I can safely say: modern vidya sucks and only uncs enjoy newish AAA releases.
zoomergettes are either slopmaxxing e-sport titles or escaping the microtransactional hellhole or nauseating modern hardware prices.

If you don't have a lot of disposable income, there's no reason to build a $5000 PC to play 1-2 yearly releases and basedpog at light rays bouncing off a table.

Cuts both ways, many unbalanced games have insane exploits lmao
Godhand is sadistic, but there's a couple of unbalanced tactics in your favor.

Shinobido is another one, some missions are nearly impossible to do stealthily, like assaulting carts and intercepting escorts. However, if you create a +999 knockout or explosive sphere, it's just a walk in the park.

It really depends on the game, also.
Some older games are legitimately awkward. Although modern physics engines can feel samey and boring, some older physics engines and control schemes are just weird. Can be really hard to get used to a jank ass game like picrel.

Just started a playthrough today going in completely blind, so far it hasn't been as "difficult" as everybody keeps saying. I'm loving the job system, it's definitely not as fleshed out as 5 but it works surprisingly well when this is the only game at the time to have it. Only thing that confuses me is how the game gives you spells and weapons for classes you haven't even unlocked yet, I got the poison and cure spell while only having a black mage available.

...at least that's sorted then.

For my part, I'd suggest you invest in a Red Mage for a while just for the kickass gear they get early on. If I'm not mistaken, unlike FF 5, classes do not have permanent side-effects on your characters, like stat growth, so you should be able to experiment pretty easily. Make sure everyone has access to at least a couple of spells, just in case; they can be assigned irrespective of your current class. You'll be glad you did.
>>
>>12681657
I got this sword exclusive to the red mage before I did the first dungeon to save the princess so I'll try it out.
>>
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I played it after finishing the PS1 FFs including the 1-2 versions on it and 3 was one of my favorites.
People make a big deal about being forced to certain classes in specific parts but never found it that pervasive.
And yeah most of the game's bad rep comes from having 2 back to back final dungeons and some parts like becoming a mini and having to go all mage which along being mini means you die easily if back attacked.
Game has a decent amount of side content anf the world is huge.
>>
Only played the DS remake but the last dungeon and boss were quite a jump in difficulty
>>
>>12681657
>classes do not have permanent side-effects on your characters, like stat growth
Which class you use affects your HP growth

Do you remember the first time you played it?
I remember seeing screenshots of "Zelda Gaiden" in magazines, and before I knew it, the game was out.
I remember my friend rented it and we played it, getting lost in Clock Town.
Then I got my copy some time later and got stuck hard before Snowhead Temple. I think I never figured I had to use the goron lullaby on the road there because I never figured the giant invisible goron was there.
It wasn't until years later that I restartes the game and 100%d it

Are fighting game players afraid of actual skill expression?

Any other fighting game tournament has complete randoms and no name players topping the big tournaments, while almost every melee event is won by a household name

Why is there no modern, technically demanding, fighting games that can separate the wheat from the chaff?

Are fighting game player complete brainlets?

1. Umbrella appears to have been much less widely known and more localized in Raccoon City and its immediate surroundings. Chris has never even heard of them until that night.
2. Oswald Spencer and the Trevor family are absent from the story, making the mansion's background and history unknown.
3. According the manual, STARS are a nation-wide organisation with a branch in Raccoon City. A lot of the members aren't even from there and have been stationed there very recently.
4. The outbreak is never framed as anything other than an accident that was taken advantage of.
5. Raccoon City itself is depicted as a modern metropolis in one of the end screens, going against the small midwestern town aesthetic.
6. Wesker is just a regular dude working for Umbrella and it is clear that his death was supposed to be final at the end of the game. He was retconned into surviving starting with CV onward.
7. There is mention of Blue Umbrella that gave the operation orders to Wesker following the accident. This "Blue Umbrella" was completely forgoten and never elaborated upon. There is one in RE7 with the same name I think, but this has nothing to do with the one from RE1.

Yeah, there's a particular variant of the encounter with Chris and Wesker, I forget if its the one with Rebecca, or the one without, but it is egregiously nonsensical even by the game's usual standards. Like, madlibs levels of incoherent.

ITT: /vr/ games who basically suffered through multiple hit jobs through their lifetime.

How delusional do you have to be to think that some 40 year old boomer could really painstakingly go through dozens of unrelated games, including games that he probably couldn't even play to begin with, or games he wouldn't know about and extract sometimes large, sometimes tiny amount of visual or audio assets from them? Steve Bovis was barely computer-literate enough to ask how to do basic things in the engine.

You should be able to figure out what he meant when he "made excuses" that he "hired a 3rd party provider" for the art assets.

The developer can sell as many copies as they please, the issue here is simple supply and demand, the issue here being a functionally infinite supply so demand is almost meaningless. The laws are in such a way now to artificially limit the supply.
The issue of digital copyright infringement only exists because people are upset they can't make more money. You can look up whatever you want but the "issue" never was a problem, it's not as if you can't go download almost any game ever made right now for free, you can do that right this second. Yet people are still paying money for these things, because as hard as it is to believe people are willing to spend money on something they like. I personally have bought hundreds of games that I pirated.
>>12681062
Nah you make a good point, but it still never addresses the original one that digital copyright infringement is fundenmentally different from theft and conflating them together is simply lobbyist rhetoric.
