thats the unfortunate part of it. Gaming advanced to fast. when it hit 3d, graphics became more of the focus and when you need better graphics you need funding, and better funding was gained from investors.

Yeah it's the best in the series. Every time I play it I find some new detail. The world of this game feels so musty and lived in, like a video game version of a Hammer horror film. People always talk about the Mode 7 effects but the art design is really terrific. I love the new environments too, libraries, art galleries, treasuries etc...

The jazzy music plays well to the SNES's strengths too. Early SNES audio just HITS for me.

>"but...but it's too easy!!"
So...what? It's the first Castlevania game where you feel POWERFUL and in complete control of your environment. And it does get pretty hard towards the end.

Why was checkpoint-based respawning even a thing in arcade games? It's not as if using them usually implied a less cheap design style, and from a basic business perspective, it discouraged or straight out alienated casuals and cut on the quarter-munching potential of the games—which could hardly be counterbalanced by potential "hardcore" appeal.

No. You don't. You play games to try to fit in. That's why you're so shit at them and why you spend your time coping about your lack of skill instead of playing games.

90% of games, if were being generous, are shit. and emulation makes it so that you dont have to be picky about whats in your library.

most games I boot up I play for 30 minutes and never touch again, but every now and then I find a gem thatll stick with me forever so its all worth it.

People will always argue about what is the best game of all time, or what defines a true 10/10, but I think we can all agree that this is the closest gaming has ever come to perfection.

I'm certain it's some faggot false flagging Halo hate.
I don't even like Halo, because it's a mediocre console shooter astroturfed by nostalgic console players, but even I can see through this. It's always some retard pretending classic PC FPS never happened or didn't count for easy (you)s. I fucking hate this site, it rewards being an obnoxious faggot.

Eh, it's actually alright but if you're used to fast paced retro FPS games you might be disappointed:
>Slow movement
>Floaty jumping
>Only two guns at a time
>Candy colored aliens with goofy voices
>The story feels like a marines recruitment ad aimed at young children
>One of the most common enemies has an anti-fun regenerating shield
>Level design is fucking awful. One later level is just canyon, cookie cutter base, canyon, cookie cutter base, canyon, cookie cutter base and it just never ends.
Play the first one with a friend and you might have fun though.

I dig how Dynamite Headdy it feels, and it can be just as creative with its setpieces. You're either turned off by the theming or find it comfy and nostalgic. Amusingly there's an uncensor patch - they replaced gold rings with jewels because that other franchise with the rings exists, and the jungle had ooga booga big lipped nigra tribesmen instead of the weird Beau from Headdy-looking guys.

The grappling scarf was the basis which they expanded upon with Dynamite Headdy and eventually Hippa Linda doing better. It was a great learning property to kickstart their development. They just make games which are interesting and impressive to me.

In need of new faceplates. It has gotten quite some use since it has the brightest non-external screen of GBAs. I think I saw a Youtube short about a solderless consolizer for the GBA which I'm interested in so if I end out with any money at the end of the year, it is in my consideration.

Serious question, do you think it could have saved the Dreamcast?

I did not realise how insanely priced the mega cd games are. There's literally nothing under £50 except for the arcade collection.

What is wrong with people? Burning discs for it seems to be hit and miss, not sure which CD-Rs are good for it and I don't have a cd burner under x10 speed.

If they got those, they'd have nothing to do but play the games, and retro gaming ABDLs hate playing games. Otherwise they'd be enjoying highly stylized games of any vintage.

There's a greater number of worthwhile 2D games from after 2007 than before :O

No one in my area is able to make mods to the systems, but I'm still always searching. It was difficult saving up, but I did manage to get a few Chinese flashcarts years before all these tariff issues made them unaffordable. These aliexpress clones are old so they lack all the nice features of the real things feature like playing CD games or FPGAs for specialized chips. That's just how things are around here as inflation has gotten out of control and wages failed keeping up.

Surprisingly good but definitely not for everyone.

That hunk of junk didn't even survive ramming into a wall, I don't think the latest and greatest are all that necessary.

What could he even do against anyone with a barrier like Woodman or Starman?

Or a constant barrage of attacks like Airman or Astroman?
Or reality-warpers like Flashman or Gravityman?

The only major issue between the continuities is the use of casual space travel in Mega Man 3 and that element is so underutilized that you have to read the manual to know that it's there.
>>12133257
>He didn't play Sonic The Fighters
Metal's got a stomach laser, a grab-fly-drop move and in CD he was able to passively destroy spikes. The wall was probably him going too fast to stop, even if the game doesn't communicate that well.

>>12127250
uhhh Metal sonic is still weaker than Sonic tho?
He is a pathethic jobber in every game, even in the next shitty movie teaser he gets trashed.
This red form you posted gets defeated by the Chaotix.

Meanwile every single robot master is a tough battle for Megaman if he doesn't have their weakness and there are like a 100 of them

nu-trek imo is basically...
orville > lower decks > strange new worlds > discovery > picard. (i haven't seen enough of prodigy to rate it).

disco as it's own thing is an okay to mediocre sci-fi show but is a terrible trek show (which checks out since they plagiarized a video game for the main plot of S1 & S2) while picard is arguably worse because it's such a boring show. it feels like they took 3 TNG movie scripts and decided to stretch them out into 3 seasons of a TV show.

>inb4 b-but season 3 of picard was GOOD!
this is what season 3 of picard reminds me of...
