how well received was this game back when it came out? was it optimized for hardware of the time? or did people kept complaining about performance like they do with starfield
>>10864112FYI if you like the System Shock games and want more, skip the Bioshock titles and look at Prey. Not Retro, but an Anon on here recommended it to me and he was 100% right.
>>10862595faggot go to >>>/v/not retro!!
>>10863391so dragon ball xenoverse 2 is retro according to you fag?it can run (with some hackery) on windows XP 64 bit,similar to several new games.PC games only apply if they use dx8 or less which this don't.
Any PC game up to 2007 is within the rules. We already had tons of Crysis, TF2, Portal threads
>>10864265No because it came out after 2007, read the sticky newfag
The Ranma 1⁄2 anime aired 35 years ago, I think we should have a thread about the videogames based on it.Starting with imo the best one, Chougi Ranbu Hen, I think Japan still has tournaments for this game.
Ranma 1/2 Chounai Gekitou Hen (or known as Street Combat in the west) is the first ever Ranma 1/2 game and it shows, while the graphics and music are good, the combat is awful, your attacks don't feel like they connect against the opponent at all and the damage is so damn low a round takes forever to end, the bonus games during 1P mode are neat at least.It certainly feels like an early version of Bakuretsu Rantou Hen, so you're better off playing that instead.
>>10864216the murrican version isn't even the same game at that point,it would be like saying gundam W is power rangers fighting edition when both are made with same engine but work different.street combat can be played no issues on zsnes yet ranma itself there is no way to play it.
>>10864240dunno about znes since I have always used snes9x but the game runs fine on retroarch and on the snes9x emulator for my 3DS.
>>10864271>>10864216there's a code glitch that displays the game at 480i despite the game's graphics actually being at 240p
>>10864307most games are displayed at 480 on a regular CRT since CRT resolution is 720x480,the bug is the interlaced stuff nothing else,resolution was fine.Internal resolution of game meant nothing in reality (some atari games have 1280x1024 resolution but that doesn't mean they are playing at that resolution on a CRT TV).
Did any cool /vr/ stuff come out of the USSR, aside from Tetris? I dunno cool MSX or famiclones with weird eastern euro features or some such? Weird commie arcade machines? (did they have arcade machines in Sovietland in the 80's?)
>>10861182Unfortunately, but you can of course make some arrangements to get it sent by regular postal service. I've had that a few times already to get some stuff sent to Yurop.
>>10863386Plus the geriatrics running the USSR in the 80’s were from the two generations previous to the boomers.
>>10859593That Kruschev one
wtf is a ussr?
>>10864505some boomer country that existed back in the 1900s
can we have a /vr/ thread for PC gayming? All I see on this board is jap shit and console shit. Let's discuss games made for PC, Windows or Apple, I don't care.I just finished Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura with a gunsmith dwarf and will probably boot up Ultima Underworld (the Stygian Abyss) or something next. What have YOU been playing lately? Gimmie a review of that game if it's obscure.
>>10862725What's the name?
>>10862645A friend of mine got this working. Look for one of the 'beta' builds.
>>10863194Morrowind. Daggerfall is cool with the Unity mods, but I think Morrowind has such a good vibe to it.Daggerfall is like Minecraft, you really have to watch some people on YouTube to figure out how other people actually play the game to get a sense of what you 'can' do.
>>10863149Beautiful setup bro.
>>10864401Thanks anon. Today I found some instagram account posted a clip of a PC with the same case design I have with a Compaq Deskpro badge. Not sure if that's legitimate but I've always wondered where my case design originated from.
what is the single best racing game of the ps2 era?
>>10864316>MC San Franciscoqrd?
>>10864384It had a PC port
>>10864392Game was just unbalanced as shit, they had to release a patch to make the AI less ridiculous and it's still kind of unmanageable.
>>10863563Nah this one is better>drift events, can race on the c1 loop, real race tracks, lap races, classic style sp battles, custom paint job/decals allow for a higher pixel count than txr3
>>10864135To give a good answer.
I've only played about half an hour of this game but it feels like it's just not very good.The first game was enjoyable but with some major issues with fighting multiple enemies, camera and wonky combat but still fun enough for me to try the sequel.I was hoping that they simply would take the first game and improve where the first fell short but it feels like a complete regression in most things, is this an accurate assessment of the game?Any of you guys that played the first enjoy the second? Does it get better or is it simply a drop the ball sequel?
>>10864126The sequel was always wonky for me. The combat system and it's finishers was a complete mistake.
>>10864141That's my main issue right there, the combat animations feel way clunkier than the previous game and are very jerky, almost like they are missing animation frames despite being fast, meanwhile you're actual movement has become very sluggish and slow.The fatalities themselves feel pointless, they don't seem to regenerate health or any other benefit other than to end the fight that is already over.
>>10864126I'm playing it right now. About to finish the gameThe fights are repetitive and using only one weapon becomes boring halfway through.The atmosphere and scenarios are very good. Enemy variety is good.Climbling, jumping around, swimming, blowing stuff, unlocking doors, boss fights.Cutscenes are also good.The story is meh.
I decided to play GTA III after the GTA 6 trailer and this character really stuck out to me.>follows Avery Carrington around as his apprentice and note taker>ends up at parties with Vice City elite/celebs/pornstars on yachts in the 80s>disappears for the most of the 90s, possibly developing Venturas alongside Avery (off screen)>reappears in 1998, runs for mayor, hires a mafia killer to outright rig the election>goes horribly wrong and Donald Love is exposed in the Liberty Tree for his mob ties>flees to a safe house after getting greenlit by the Colombian Cartel>uses the same mafia killer to assassinate Avery Carrington steal his plans for the city and EAT HIM>escapes on a private jet and lays low on a yacht in the Caribbean>by 2001 Donald is back living in the Love Media Building/his Trump Tower>bribes the Colombian Cartel to go through with Avery's plans>hires an East Asian Tai-Chi instructor who tries to enter the country without a passport>he ends up in the same prison transport bus as career criminal Claude Speed and 8-Ball>Love has bought countless forms of media, casinos and real estate and owns several senators by this pointComment too long.

>>10860697Also, my boy Frankie Vincent came back.>tfw Frank Vincent died when I was halfway through playing Liberty City Stories
>>10860218Claude shoots her
>>10858774>Seems like they basically made a forward thinking Donald Trump parodySo nothing like Donald TRump then...
>>10862684Tbf she wouldn't shut the fuck up
>>10863712Donny Love was based on a bunch of moguls. Ted Turner might have been another one?
What is going on? Are the Wild Rumors true? Big Corp slowing down emulation development on purpose? Why are all cores so out-of-date? When was the last time a RA Core got an update? https://retroarchleaks.wordpress.com/Last: >>10802680
>>10863918>emufedswhy so paranoid? You really believe those wild rumors about free invida cards for danyboy? Anon, stop it. Maybe it is time to go to bed, i really feel sleepy now.
>>10863936>wild rumorsDo you know what IRC Logs are?
Cool, but how can I compile jgenesis into an RA core?
maybe stop using retroarch because it's a piece of shit
>>10864426I'll be honest, I only use RA whenever I have a mobile device laying around.
Had this game as a kid on Xbox, remember it was pretty fun as far as arcadey racers go. Neat artstyle/redesigns for the characters, great music (of course) and interesting gameplay. Some levels were better than others but overall I really enjoyed the game. Don't have the Xbox version anymore but I managed to score the GameCube version for a not-horrendous price, so looking forward to playing it again.Anyone else have fond memories of it?
>>10860378thread themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61DSXZR8eZw
>>10860378I remember getting filtered HARD by the last stage of the hero story as a kid, I remember beating it as an adult but never actually bothering to beat the Babylon Rouges story. Maybe I'll go back to it someday. Also I remember it getting kinda panned, but I feel like that was due to it being a product of the time period where dunking on Sonic was cool, I think time's been kind to it.
>>10863827It was not a very intuitive game to learn how to play, and the tutorials were buried in menus.
>>10863827i grinded the babylon garden race for months only to be met with an infinite loading screen. eventually beat the game years later on pc
>>10863762It's more balanced if everyone uses a vehicle. If it was a race of who could run the fastest, Sonic would always win.You may remember Sonic R where half of the characters are not viable to play as because they move slower than Sonic and Knuckles.
I hear people recommend I skip Arena and go straight to Daggerfall but I want to play every game in the series. How can I make my first time experience wtih Arena as painless as possible? Is there some way to build my character that makes the game smoother and more enjoyable?
>>10860505>No one plays these gamesBased on this topic, it seems that you are incorrect.
>>10863206Literally only one person has given a good faith response.>>10859010
>>10863223That's not what we are talking about retard. Nice try though.
>>10857361I beat it fairly easily as redguard warrior, just have to get used to the controls. EZ mode is mage though.
>>10859010Based and rare takeI actually prefer Arena to Daggerfall for the reasons you described. It's just a more tightly crafted experience that doesn't try too hard like DF.
SOMEBODY STOP ME
>>10857257... from saying SOMEBODY STOP ME
>>10864050He goes beserk when you show him SF2 on the amigay.
>>10857257>>10857259Was this game not on Sega because the first level is dedicated to punching chirpers?
I love the Mask, so I feel obligated to bump this thread.The Super Nintendo game is fine, but it has its problems (weird level design and poor hit detection). It's a shame we didn't get more games based on the franchise. Actually, how would you adapt The Mask into a video game? Personally, I think something similar to Lego Batman 2 would be great. Just change the extra characters for special costumes.
>>10864364Cuhrazey 3D action game directed by Kamiya.Or, a game similar to the super nintendo one but developed by Capcom.
Not only is this game outstanding on its own merits, it's all the more impressive for being the first in what would have been an iterative installment. Now, if it had gotten sequels, it would probably be looked back upon as diminutively as other first installments, so I can't exactly make a meaningful comparison between it and other first installments in fighting games. But I still think it's damn impressive.
>>10864192No amount of good mechanics will fix the fact it has a shitty roster.
>>10864228Rosterfagging is a great way to advertise you don't actually play these games.
>>10864281>dude you should still totally love this game from that series you like that completely removed all the characters you like and the moves they had except for like one guyNo.
>>10864318Sokkaku is based but other than him those characters are all playable in about a dozen different KoFs. Not that you play that either.
>>10864337I only play fighting games I actually enjoy.
How does the PS2 version of DQV stack up to the DS remake and the original SFC release? I've been playing through the series and just beat IV on DS.
>>10863575>Burnout, Doormat, or BitchAgreed. I only picked Debora because I'm an item completionist and her starting Akillics weapon can only be obtained by marrying her.
Deborah is for pegging and/or cuckold fetishists. Not a good look to announce you picked her
>>10863648Fuck that bitch! I only did it for her weapon.
>>10863648bianca is the onee san cheating whore,just thinking "she alone with the rest of the party while you drive the carriage" tells you a lot specially after she dissapearing if you don't chose her (flora well you don't see her since she married and don't want to see MC)
>>10852957There's no such thing as a bad version of DQV, whichever one you pick you're in for a good time.
Would recommend playing the FDS original over the US version as you can save your game and you're going to need it plus a turbo controller because this game was designed by Satan.
>>10861227Auto fire being standard is one of the great things about remakes,
I made the mistake of playing this with the standard NES pad and no turbo controller. My thumb gave out in a few levels and I quit.
>>10861235I actually own this cartridge. Gotten from a Goodwill when Bush was president and NES hidden gems could still be found at Goodwill for $5.
This game and Silver Surfer are not near the hardest NES shmups, that's Starship Hector and US Star Force.
>>10864268nobody plays the US release of Star Force unless they're into self-abuse, they play the easier Famicom version
>boogers picked and flicked over this
>>10864203Even as a kid I realized the game was just not good
