This was the last time when Japanese graphics were considered high quality.
>>
>>11519527
>>11519531
The PS3 was the Sega Saturn of its generation, but it got saved because Microsoft massively screwed up with Kinect. The PS3 didn't have anything like Alan Wake or Gears of War 3. That's a discussion for another time, maybe when PS360Wii turns /vr/ next year.
---
Now, back to our topic.

The Dreamcast was the last era when Japanese graphics were top-notch. I might say the GameCube, but the Xbox totally outclassed it. The Dreamcast was more like a "half" generation console, similar to the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, or even the Game Boy Color... something in between. With that in mind, the N64 was the "last" of its kind, where Japanese design was synonymous with high quality.

But, I mean... the N64 was a cassette-based console, and the PSX had those wobbly polygons with that pity nearest neighbor texture filter, and the Saturn with its complex autistic architecture.

Man, now that I think about it, Japanese consoles have been a bit of a mess. Sorry, but the American way is the only way.

Americans carried Sega Model 2 and Sega Model 3. Americans carried N64 3D technology and Americans carried PS3's RSX. America is and always has been synonymous with high-quality graphics.

I concede: Dreamcast was the last console "were Japanese graphircs were considered high quality" but not only that, PS2 is the last Japanese console in general. GameCube is American (IBM CPU, ATI GPU), PS3 is American (IBM CPU, Nvidia GPU)

If you press the stick in the opposite direction you're moving in Sonic Adventure, you stop.
If you do the same in Sonic Heroes, you keep most of your speed and turn 180 degrees in a huge arc, usually into a wall or off the edge of the narrower platforms.

Do either of the PSU games have a solid single player? Planning on going through the Phantasy Star games when I'm done with my .hack playthrough.
>>
>>11518480
PSU has a pretty solid single player, if you don't mind hearing the game's opening song fourty times. For whatever reason it presents itself like a playable anime. Though said OP is a fucking banger, so I didn't mind lol. Don't think you can play the Ambitions of Illuminus outside of custom servers though. Portable 1 is okay. Gives some nice lore on CASTs, but it can't decide if it wants to he a pet raising sim or not. Never got around to Portable 2i, but I hear its phenominal.

>>11518575
Nice, so it sounds like there are some single player options. I'll go ahead and download them now then.

There's an undub you'll probably want as well.
>>
>>11519119
I'll check the comments. Undubs on rpgs always spook me. Nothing worse than getting over 50% of the way through a game to find the well meaning modder broke it at some point. I'll listen to how the dub is first. Generally speaking, ps2 games in this era still had talented fans voicing them.

Those cubby shelves are too big. There's wasted too much wasted space. That Famicom is tiny inside it. Same with the modern consoles. Buy cubby shelves that are half the size. You also should not stack shelves to be almost as tall as your TV. It's a big imbalance.

Just about every "bad" game they made can be pin pointed to the retarded decisions of the companies they worked for. When not working on their own shit, they were working on others shit or others were throwing wrenches into their shit.

Pretty sure he's insulted MD games, for example the Treasure games. He hates Treasure because they worked for Nintendo, but he also then retroactively hate their pre-nintendo days.
He targets SNES and Saturn the most, but he doesn't seem particularly fond of any system outside of Speccy and Amiga, from what I can see. He only acts as a Sega fans only when it serves his anti-nintendo skit.

>>11519372
Yeah I dunno, as I said he doesn't even seem to enjoy video games. If you ask me he just hates Nintendo and that's it. And the Saturn. But if I'd have to guess, he does like the Speccy at least, if only for childhood nostalgia.

around 2012 when my first PS3 died, I already had a computer but after backward compability became less and less of a point and reliablity of the 7th gen made me a susceptible to the future of consoles, it also made me realize it was far more logical to just have a computer since you'd have 1 nice place for an infinite amount of games, movies, music, internet browsing, and a lot less worrying, it also helps that (if) a port to PC is missing something, has something not working as should, or something that could be improved further than the console version could, mods can do that. PC is like water, modular and can be changed to suit ones needs whereas consoles are like stone, unchanging

It won’t. A side effect of so many level exits not working via cheating there is I haven’t gotten the free heal to full HP for literally 4 levels in a row, and even without buying anything from Renon I still have 1 chicken and 2 beef to spare going into the tower of science. Carrie is still broken as hell, it turns out.

Just got to the second boss fight in the castle center and got my ass kicked. Some really nasty changes to the nitro run, bone pillars shooting at you in the gear room, machine gun skeleton biker welcoming you on the way back (which I seem to remember wasn't in normal).

Nah the machine gun skeleton biker was there on normal. Bone pillars sniping you on the nitro run is new and is probably pure misery with Reinhardt.

>Nah the machine gun skeleton biker was there on normal
I remember it being there, but I'm almost sure he's not here when you return from the door leading to the nitro on normal (though he's probably there on the original release).

>Bone pillars sniping you on the nitro run is new and is probably pure misery with Reinhardt
Had to kill the single one with holy water.

Done with the tower of science, the wall turrets can now destroy the walls. Lasers were a huge pain during the boss fight.
