WE NEED to talk about this
>>12558314WELL WELL WELL, that right there, that in the OP picture? Yeah that's called an ITEM BOX old school concept I know but see back in the day we used to put random shit in boxes, vases, chandeliers, random holes, really just anything. Kids these days just don't get it, all these digital "goods" are nothing more than a simple scam to keep us simple folk down. We need a rebirth of the good ol deus ex yessir.
>>12558329most satisfying one yet. castlevania wall roasts are close second
The worst part is HL2 spawns those boxes behind you when you're very low on health or ammo. Valve game design is pure AIDS.
>>12558314I dislike that these are programmed to provide you what you currently lack at any given time, instead of predefined items. It essentially means you never have to be conservative and you'll never be forced to adapt.

Damn. How did they manage to make the greatest fighting game of all time?
The greatest fighting game, GBVSR, is not /vr/.
>>12554957Well it's true. KI2 was a financial flop compared to the first and UMK3
>>12550534MK is mostly based on old kung fu shit. It was never corny capeshit
>>12558852that shit ain't fucking shit motherfucker
>>12549765Can't really blame Ed for that last one. Tobias kind of deserved it. Boon blackmailed him after he got caught sucking off interns in his office at Midway.
What's the most difficult star in Mario 64?
>>12556902lily pad shine is 1000x worse than anything in 64. ditto for pachinko. the manta ray boss is genuinely challenging if you dont know the cheese. the chuckster and all of the no fludd platforming gauntlets in general are way harder than anything in 64. and forget about actually finding all the blue coins without a guide. sunshine is way way more difficult
>>12557006this only adds up to 118...
for me it was always the red coins in the wing cap stage, the one in the clock room across from rainbow ride. controlling the cap is just a pain in the ass. fuck that star to death
>>12559960That's kind of unfair because the pachinko was just poorly done on top of the janky ass physics
>>12559963This, and iirc one of the wing cap stages drops you outside the castle if you fall making getting back to the level more tedious

Shang Tsung has returned to his master, but what does that mean for Earthrealm? And what of Kung Lao?Find out tomorrow!
Huh... the use of actual Chinese mythology is a nice touch.
I'm enjoying this take on The Great Kung Lao
where's my man Johnny "the Rage" Cage?
Mech kino is on the menu boys.https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7581/
>>12559819I didn't really like this show. Not as well-plotted as Tomino's shows, pacing is all over the place and just feels like a pastiche of different American movies
>>12559819>ボトムズHow do they know it's not "Armored Trooper Bottoms"?
>>12559880It's been Votoms longer than you've been alive.
>>12559834Tomino losing his fucking mind while making Victory was a blessing for the franchise, thoughVotoms was a direct inspiration for both 08th Team and Front Mission, which I'm thankful for
I've heard a couple times that gaming became really normalfaggish with the PS1 and so on. Is that really true? I'm curious about it because as far as I can see, the NES and MD were already "mainstream" beforehand, no?I wasn't around back then so sorry if this sounds stupid
>>12557720>mom and dad weren't putting the kids to bed early so they could get in some Pitfall! time, my dude.They absolutely did. Apparently you weren't there.
>>12559806i absolutely was. i was the kid staying up to play Pitfall.
>>12559806>>12559821p.s.the first time an adult who wasn't an immediate family member ever spoke a single word to me about video games, it was about RE1.
>>12548605>prior consoles were mainstream but just among kids.this. nobody over 15 played NES or SNES when they were current other than giant nerds. like mepre-crash, adults did play atari in its day though
Voice acting and big scripts changed everything.
JOPbros, it worth learning JP for this game? inb4 >gba fanhackI'm not playing the shitty gba version
It's not worth learning a whole language for a single game/book/etc.
Is it related to the japanese punk band Kamaitachi?
>>12559903Sure. Go for it. It's an interesting experience to see a bunch of unintelligble squiggles turn into someting meaningful. Though I would recommend starting with something easier, like maybe Animal Crossing.
>never released a single bad game>still failedits not fair, what the fuck does a software house have to do?
>>12548506>again, epyx would still be around if atari had given epyx their money The biggest insult added to injury done by Atari was them fucking up Epyx's original board design. The initial Lynx had better power efficiency and was more ergonomic. Atari's engineers redid the board (poorly) so they could claim the design was in-house, swapped components with shittier (but not a lot cheaper, typical penny wise, pound foolish Atari idiocy) ones, and decided to humor Tramiel's request for ambidextrous operation, even though it made the handheld bulkier.
Let's give the OG Chip's Challenge some respect. Microsoft version is a classic but this is where it all started.
>>12545947>wildly unintuitive control schemes in competitive party gamesGet a grip, boomer.
>>12559208Was the Lynx II any closer to the original design?
>>12553570>>12555814>>12556778>>12556778>auster spammer the lolcow schizophrenic mental breakdown timetell everyone how japanese people were coding nes games using an apple 2 and a "mini assembler", 4chan's most famous lolcow schizophrenic
What are your favorite retro shoot them ups? Mine is Blazing Lazers on TG16.
>>12559617Space Invaders.
>>12559617U.N. Squadron and Lords of Thunder.
>>12559617The Guardian Legend
>>1255961716 bit Compile games unironically. Gun Nac is the canonical choice although an NES game actually.
>>12559653U.N. Squadron is a fine choice because it's such a pretty looking game but it is quite difficult. Fair, mostly, but not easy.
Anyway, it's time for Rolling Ronny.
>>12559762You rang?
>>12559832Ah, an Amiga "hidden gem"
>>12559736The C64 version of this one is way better.
>>12559736A few Amiga "classics" like James Pond got console ports and were there exposed for the utter medocrities they were.
>>12559874This. BGM is also great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHmteVl03w8
Name a franchise with more SOUL than 90s Sonic. Whether it’s Genesis, Saturn or Dreamcast, most of his games oozed soul / charm
>>12557365Yeah but Emerald Coast is 10/10 soul. Even the artwork of the game and music too. Everything about SA1 is great besides the atrocious voice acting and animations during so
>>12557654>the atrocious voice acting and animations during soThose only make the game even more soulful
>>12557324Eventually, yeah. But they won this particular battle.>>12557654I dunno, I prefer it to the more self aware tongue in cheek shit from newer games.
>>12557369>thinking Chaotix has bad music
>>12558073>thinking Chaotix is a good game
Were you a late holdout to upgrade your systems back in the day? What were some of your favorite late releases? You know, games that that were released in the last year or so of the official support of the system?I really love Zoda's Revenge, it's a weird game in a weird and brief Nintendo franchise. There's something relaxed about it. 1994 for Nintendo had all kinds of crazy shit going on - Super Metroid, DKC, Final Fantasy III etc....here was a game saying "hey man it's too loud over there, let's just chill out" you know?
>>12559776I played my NES and SNES concurrently. My friend got Zoda's Revenge, and it prompted me to eventually get it myself
>>12559776Persona 3 and 4, Okami and Bully, some of my favorite PS2 games all coming either after the PS3 was already out in Japan or about to come out
>>12559776>1994 for Nintendo had all kinds of crazy shit going on - Super Metroid, DKC, Final Fantasy III etc....here was a game saying "hey man it's too loud over there, let's just chill out" you know?You can at least try to pretend like you didn't use ChatGPT to generate this

What made Peach's Castle seem so esoteric?
>>12559851You've given In to delusion.>>12559851>We're free to use everything that's revealed to use however we desire, as long as it aligns with the commandments of God.Ban guns, legalize opium poppies? Yes.
>>12559860You're judjing the things you've built your very imaginaation on to be evil, for what?Because some men who are evil are living their lives irresponsibly? Aren't you someone who can be responsible with anything?But, even though different people struggle with various things in life, they all have the potential to have a good heart.That's why this first world is a test, to filter out people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. The next world will be a reward for people who truly want to be good.
Super Mario 64?
>>12548006Because mario 64 was probably the biggest moment of gaming hype in history and being a generation that will never ever experience cultural phenomenons they're fascinated by it and desperately trying to create the same feeling for themselves gen x/millennials got to actually experience.
>>12559851>schizoThen I'm not interested in your *wrong opinions*.
Many years ago, I'm talking about the mid 00's, a guy told me he had a lot of fun doing this "griefing" trick in some MMORPG>go to a distant forest area of the map>when you find a monster, give him only 1 hit>run away so he chases you to hit you back>do this with every monster you encounter>when there are around 50 monsters chasing you, go to a village full of low level playersSomeone could have an idea of which MMORPG was he talking about? I forgot which one it was although I have suspicions it might have been Runescape.
>>12558269nah you're getting it wrong (as your kind intentionally do). you could totally say you were a bush supporter in the 2000s in world of warcraft, most people didn't care. it's when people started making politics their entire personality and deliberately bringing it into places it didn't belong and being obnoxious bout it did moderation have to start cracking down.
>>12559018>argues that petty text squabbles in a videogame do not address political problems, therefore are pointless>remarks this just poisons common places that people socialized in game>achktually, you're wrong because when people started bringing politics in places it didn't belong, everything went to shit?
Well this thread devolved fast
>>12553847IDK if this is the same category but I used to play Tribes 2 on my buddy's computer and my favorite thing was to spawn a transport, load it up with teammates then kamikaze it into the side of the mountain or into lava.
>>12559103get back to me when you don't have a whole novel of strawmen
Reminder that you'll never again come home from school to find a crisp new Nintendo Power in the mailbox.
>>12559761what magazine can I subscribe to now?
I took my EGMs straight to the shitter because my bus ride was an hour long.
>>12559797>>>12559761 (OP)>what magazine can I subscribe to now?There aren't a lot of game magazines left to subscribe to. Surprised that PC Gamer is still around. Seriously, your main options are Edge , PC Gamer. or the retro magazines. https://pocketmags.com/us/search/results?term=gaming
>>12559761I was a nintendo fanclub newsletter subscriber before the ninterndo power launched, and I was sent the first issue for free in the mail. Got home from school one day and there is this massive magazine from nintendo. I read it front to back, back to front like 30 times overt the next 2 months.
>>12559761I was lucky if my dad wasn't home when I got there. Otherwise he'd get drunk and start beating the shit out of me and my brothers.
