I'm a sorta Half-Life fanatic, and yet I haven't played Gunman yet, I'm an actual fraud.
>>12837730I've always thought that model looked ridiculously highpoly for goldsrc standards, to the point of it being downright jarring

How was it like to go from single screen action games being the norm to scrolling action back in the 80s?
>>12841960>couldn't fathom anything ever getting better.And you were right
>>12841948I've seen things you anons wouldn't believe. Attack ships in Asteroids break apart and give chase. I watched Ghosts shimmer in the dark after eating a power pellet. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
>>12841948>single screen action games being the norm to scrolling actionWas this a thing? Defender and Dropzone were pretty early scrolling games, Moon Patrol and Zaxxon too, Spelunker was somewhere in between and I thought they sort of coexisted with single screen games. I guess after SMB and Ghosts n Goblins it became more common for platformers though.
>>12842005Why does that wizard look so fucking peeved?
>>12842035>"WIZARDS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this realm before. There could be RIVAL WIZARDS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bearded chin. "I HATE WIZARDS" he thought. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea reverberated his mind's ear, making it pulsate even as the 9 copper pieces tobacco circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of spellcasters after dark. "With a teleportation scroll, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
I feel like I just stumbled into a goldmine. I'm absolutely floored by what people are able to do these days on actual N64 hardware. Some of it looks like low-res Dreamcast or GameCube graphics. Black magic-type shit.Return to Yoshi's Island looks fucking incredible, like a real Nintendo-made sequel to SM64. Kaze is a god among men.What other hacks and original ROMs do you recommend? (Pls no randomizers or goofy troll hacks)
>>12839198It is because they are severely autistic anon. Normal people don't do this shit. Like you said, they get inspired instead, and go out and make something new. Autists with these weird obsessions only find motivation when they do not have to do any of the creative groundwork. They want to build upon something already established.
>>12839998Having recently finished it, there's some bullshit platforming in it for sure, especially in the later levels. I usually used the ass pound move to better control where Mario falls after a difficult jump. But it's a well made game for most part.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa2PWaNDYq8

>>12842096Killzone didn't live either bro
>>12828339Killzone didn't get "good" until Killzone 2, and even then it was kind of mediocre.

Ideally evil AI? I nominate the Marathon trilogy. Which runs and looks great now on most any computer thanks to a remade engine.
>>12841756>dreams about the internet I'm so glad this doesn't happen to me. I'm in my early 40s. I tried using a cellphone once in a dream, to give someone a number and it just doesn't work. The screen was all glitchy and I couldn't read anything. I woke up shortly after.
>>12841786How many games are in that series?
>>12835582>Silhouette MirageEverything in that game is an AI
>>12842079it's a marathon mod but it feels like a standalone game. if the dev had changed the enemy faction to something other than the pfhor it would stand on its own.
I have no mouth and must race.
Why are there so many bad Final Fantasy ports and remasters?FF1>Dawn of Souls GBA / PSP>no more spell charges, now casters have a modern MP system and can effectively just freecast as much as they want>player damage in general is pretty much doubled, enemy health was increased too but not as much>tons more dialogue pretty much everywhere>classes entirely rebalanced, black belts are now super OP from the very start, red mages aren't as good as they used to be, white mages are actually useful now>certain other mechanics like "top party member is most likely to get hit" were removed>Pixel Remaster giving you a lot more recovery options and far more magic. It adds ethers which make the whole limited resource thing completely mootFF4>FFIV USA is the Easy version of the game which stripped out a lot of abilities and made everything easier>GBA ATB bug>FF4 Pixel Remaster is much easier than FFIV JPN SFCComment too long.

white mages are useful they have life and exit and harmpixel remastered looks good it looks like what the game would if 32 bit graphics existed then

The best SNK girl
>>12834247Mai is a perfect combination of arrogant outside romantic inside
>>12835620She's a dime-a-dozen coomerbait character paired with Andy Bogard, the most boring character in fighting game history
>>12837916>the most boring character in fighting game historybut enough about ryu
>>12837916A. I can't think of any character who's got Mais personality. She's a lot less generic than Chun Li and Sakura B. Andy being canonically boring is what makes him kinda not, cause he's not stoic as much as he is just a retard or possibly gay, which is pretty unique actually even if completely unrelatable
>>12819890Is that somehow relevant?
Is Ultima Online good or is it jank trash like the rest of the series?
>>12840716So you don't know.
>>12839875UO is good. But you're late.It's biggest problem is that it's "solved". You'll just end up going online and looking up a build guide instead of creating a character with the skills that you think sound cool. You'll optimize the fun out.Same with every MMORPG these days.But back in the day, before all that, it was fuckin magic. You had to talk to people in game to learn things. People didn't just run past eachother and talk to guildmates only on Discord or whatever.It's still a lot of fun. I play it time to time, mostly solo. Fishing up sea serpents looking for treasure. Taming animals. It's comfy.
>>12839875Ultima Online from 1997 to 2000 was the best game I've ever played. It started going downhill when OSI split shards into Trammel and Felucca.
>>12840340>combat sys was assYou either never played UO, barely played it, or couldn't take the heat so you ran to Everquest with your tail between your legs like all the other carebears. UO combat was awesome.
>>12841076After watching some of that Majuree video, I would say I'm interested in a MMO that would let me be a blacksmith, lockpicker/trap finder or that one clerical type worker job than being an adventurer. I just enjoy supporting roles more, but it seems like this game and Runescape are the only MMOs that have stuff like that.
I really like using my Wii to emulate old consoles & games (specially NES, GB & Genesis), the Wiimote & the Classic Controller are nice controllers imo.Gamecube compatibility is also really cool.
>>12841803I use shuttle encoder to convert videos to my Wii, dunno if you can use that.
>>12841824I was using Shuttle but I was getting errors here and there but I may try it again for the next batch, though I think I have this batch of files converted well enough now and I don't want to leave my computer on overnight to encode them all again.On the topic of videogames however, one of the retro game stores in town just bought out the space next to themselves and are combining stores. I bought a third party Gamecube controller there and it feels pretty alright but getting a clean down input for morph ball in Super Metroid feels kinda shitty. I wanted to buy a Wii Classic Pro controller they had but it was tied up in a trade that wasn't completed yet so I'm gonna go back there tomorrow to pick it up.
>>12841984Shuttle has worked fine for me but I have only used on videos without subs files or things like that.I have a normal classic controller, I like it quite a lot for things like Super NES, Gamecube & GBA, I even have used it on my PC for fighting games, it is small and takes some time to get used to its triggers, but I'm very fond of it.Only thing that sucks is no L3/R3.
>>12841803Try a gamecube controller?
>>12842014That's what I'm currently using, >>12841984It's hard to get a clean down input on the dpad with it though. It's good enough for now.My bigger problem is figuring out how to get an arcade stick working so I can play Soul Calibur 2/Deadly Alliance/Tatsunoko VS Capcom. Nintendon't doesn't seem to recognize anything I plug in but supposedly I can make custom configs to get controllers working but I need to find a guide for it.

eveyone says you should calibrate your tv with the lights off, but shouldnt you do it with the lighting conditions you plan on using it with?
there's this picture that was posted many years ago of a pixel strawberry, maybe for atari 2600 or similar hardware. with rgb it was just one color with black spots, but over composite changing the color introduced artifacts which made it look like little white seeds were there. anyone have that picture?
>>12840394why didn't they just put white dots on it to begin with
>>12840654some technical limitation. dithering was used to create more colors when the palette was limited.
>>12839430Do so, dvd players are quite cheap and you can find them everywhere. Certain shows will look just ok on them and you might prefer an hdtv, but some are absolutely stunning
This roster is really not that great. They could have done so much more with it.
>>12837501Wasn't Rei considered for MVC3? He or Momo would have been awesome for 2.
>>12836697roster is great and the game is great too as long as you're playing with ratio rules, which fixes the only problem with the game (terrible character balance).
>>12840113Original character, do not steal.
>>12841002>which fixesNothing, since Sentinel still dominates 90% of the roster.
I'm surprised no one has reverse engineered the character format, because it's very clearly just some internal MUGEN-esque format that Capcom used to cram all the characters into a new engine with the lowest effort possible.
Man I wanted to love this one. The artwork and the graphics are immaculate. It has one of the best scores I've heard in a videogame period. It's so close to being one of the GOATs of not just JRPGs but RPGs in general, but the character progression system ruined it for me. For comparison I've played DQ1-3 and this, haven't played any of the others yet, but it doesn't even hold a candle to 2 and 3 honestly. I wont even hold the animation slowness against it as it can be fixed with a fast forward button and a lot of it has to do with the limitations of getting this to run on the PS2, whatever. What annoyed me was the class system or lack thereof, and the shitty fucking alchemy pot the game practically forces down your throat. The Hero is a fighter, spellcaster and healer, but so is Yangus, Jessica and Angelo. There's very little separation between the characters. You'd think Yangus would be the damage dealer but the hero's falcon slash ability + oomph makes him far more powerful offensively. Jessica becomes a weak link whos always dying and just ends up using the powerful endgame items. I played most of the game without even using the alchemy pot because I hate it, then I got to that gay fucking purple bird which raped my ass 3 times before it hit the grass and so I looked up a guide and crafted some of the "essential" late game items (sage stone, tension timbral, falcon sword) only for all the subsequent bosses to be complete pushovers. I didn't even craft any armor or resistance items. The last 4 bosses just went down about halfway before I expected to and I was like "that's it?" No sense of accomplishment that I felt from 2 and 3.
The game just goes on too long, especially with such a simple growth system. It should end right before the shadow world
>>12841440play 6 and 7 if you want DQ kino
>fast forward button Well this is why you can't enjoy DQ8. Dragon Quest has always been slow, it's the entire point of it. It's supposed to be an hypnotic soothing experience, the slow rythm is part of that, it's like a song at 120 BPM which syncs with your hearbeat.And DQ8 doesn't leave you a choice. It's not just the animations, it's the voice acting too, which is purposely delivered slowly and with long pauses. Either you get in tune with the game, or you're not going to enjoy it.
Should I play the PS2 or 3ds version?
>>12841781The pacing is slower though than normal DQ up to that point and it dies come down to the unnecessary battle animations. Compare delivering an attack in DQ3 where the enemy briefly flashes to the drawn out animations in 8. Multiply that by the whole round, then the whole fight and then the whole game and you can really see how it fucks up the battle flow.
