>go to the grandma save house>she's playing a N64>SM64 peach castle music can be heardKINO ALERT!!! KINO ALERT!!!!Especially if you already had the newly released N64 but still got DKC3 as a xmas gift in december of '96.Bros it really was a different time, I can't explain.
>>11247357Maybe thats why I like retro vidya so much (6th gen are retro), there is this atmosphere that are long goneAnd it is not nostalgia, you can feel it even in old games you are playing for the first time
Anyone who dislikes DKC3 is a braindead retard.

What went wrong with F-Zero? It seems like Sega had a good 3D racer formula going on but they did not capitalize off of it. Did transitioning into 3D ruin F-Zero? Outside of Smash Bros and the anime, it’s as if Sega forgot about this IP. In some ways, I see parallels between the F-Zero franchise and Superkartio.
>>11248550He just likes to grumble about it. For all of his complaining if he felt strongly about it he wouldn't be still doing Smash, with it still looking like he'll make the next one.
>>11248441>Kirby can get away with forever rehashing the same game like 20 times in the past 3 decades.Not really, Kirby gets the same thing>this time...there's FOUR KIRBIES>Kirby but he touch screen>Kirby but he lemmings>Kirby is yarn lol>Clay Kirby>Kirby and his giant robot!>Super smash KirbyThere's like 1 traditional title every 5-7 years but the brunt of releases are gimmicks
>>11246913>What went wrong with F-Zero?Nothing. It had one good semi-3D game, two excellent 3D games, and some portable whatevers that I haven't played but maybe they're good too. That's plenty of F-Zero. There's probably room for more, but that's plenty.>Did transitioning into 3D ruin F-Zero?Against all odds, it greatly improved it.
>>11248618>Super smash KirbyIt's disheartening that not even nu HAL can't do a good Smash-like game either despite being the previous developer.
>>11248490>it's just Sakurai has gone on record about humans not belonging in KirbyITT: things that didn't happen and there you go making it about your loli again on top of a twisted narrative on what he tried with the anime.
What the fuck is the actual story of this game? I'm a decent way into it after hearing all the hype over the years.Ness is the chosen one and needs to visit a bunch of places to become powerful. Okay.So why does he rescue Paula? He can go right to the second sanctuary in Happy Town without rescuing her. I got that sound before doing any of that.In Threed, would Jeff have even needed to join this adventure at all if Ness didn't follow the hooker into the hotel room? Why didn't the band from Twoson drive Ness and Paula to the desert and get past those ghosts? Wouldn't Belch and the Zombies die after Giygas is defeated anyway?Back to Paula, why did the alien kidnap her in the department store? And why did Jess get involved with the political shit in Fourside? Pokey isn't really bothering Ness and the only sanctuary in Fourside has nothing to do with Monotoli or any of that?I just got Poo. If Ness didn't eat the drug cake would Poo have even joined? I don't get that whole thing at all. Poo has the little ruby to get into the closed room at the museum but nothing in that room seems relevant.I feel like Ness could do this whole thing himself if he wasn't autistic and getting involved in shit that didn't concern his mission.
>>11246818What's the step brother stuff? Who was giygas' brother? Tbf I haven't beaten the game since the SNES mini came out.
>>11242901Let me add to the batch >anything by Andrew Hussie>Any female/furry Giygas art that gets posted+Coomatora posting >Poopyjoe bullshit>Mother 3 deepthroating>being a "proud" Smash secondary at all>Easy Ring shilling+was swayed by that Cybershell wannabe MonkeyNess.
>>11238601>>11238620Pretty much, it's not that complicatedBut in the end, it takes the DQ approach of being a roadtrip RPG where what happens during the story is more important than the story itself
>>11247161Hey step-brother. It's a shame you can't visit "Your Sanctuary" tonight. Maybe I could be your sanctuary tonight. Mom and Dad don't have to know...
>>11239746OP missed that because OP hasn't finished the game yet. But OP doesn't seem to be bothered by all the spoilers in this thread so I guess OP just doesn't care about the game, which means it's pretty weird that OP is even playing it to begin with, considering how long it is.
>30/100 on Metacritic>Chet Barber of NextGen said, "Being fans of the anime, we really wanted to like the game. But even fans should avoid this at all costs.Just played it for 10 minutes and thought it's okay, just suffering from typical PS1 tank controls but nothing you can't get used toDoes it get WAY worse later on or why do they hate it so much? Anyone here finished it?
>>11247912The balance depends on how well you manage your different ressources.HP and MP need to explanation.Vampire Power is strength, the higher it is, the more damage your attack does. VP is filled up by enemy blood by close range melee attacks. MP can be refilled by swallowing weakened enemy with the hand. Therefore you need to juggle the two because when you swallow an enemy, the remaining HP it had is that much VP you're not going to get. MP can be used to heal or use a super strong seeking attack (which can kill all enemies in a room but uses up a lot of MP and obviously does not give blood), there was another magic power but I don't remember what it wasOnce you get the hang of juggling between VP and MP and manage to keep your VP high, the game is pretty easy even on Hard but it's gonna take you a while to get thereI don't remember any specifically shitty boss or anything. IIRC most bosses are the one time you're better off attacking first rather than dodging.
>>11246914>but I understand why people don't like it. The thing with this game is take it takes a while to get a feel of how you're supposed to play it and it's going to take the player a while before the gameplay finally ticks.Clunky tank controls were super common then though. 40% seems a bit extreme
>>11248385>Clunky tank controls were super common then thoughBig companies like Capcom who just moneyhat reviews
>>11246914>What's intriguing is that it is based on the second VHD movie (Bloodlust) but presumably came out before the movie, that's if the wikipedia release dates are correct which they are not always.Famitsu and gamefaqs have their release date information derived from official databases, so they should be accurate. the devs could have been given some designs and a story outline so that the game could be released before the movie and capitalie on the movie's release.
>>11246289Critics have never wanted to actually learn how to play games
It makes me sad to think that these painstakingly detailed models that were made just to take a cover photo for this game were likely thrown out as trash after the photos were done. Same goes for just about any 80s and 90s era game which had such models for the cover art or the ads.The amount of clay models and essentially entire clay cities that must have been tossed out after The Neverhood was completed...
I always loved dioramas used to promote games
>>11248838I'm gay and retarded
>>11248814The Primal Rage models were destroyed to make the toys
>>11248846That seems like a good use?
You arrest the same guy three times. Taito County sure has a revolving door criminal justice system lolor that guy has a really good lawyer

Video games died here
Ace Combat 64
https://youtu.be/0DJxwlLYWxI?si=O5MdanV5s5Zr1O6JCool game but you were pretty much screwed if you selected any other plane besides Mr. Ninja Beam's
>>11238604The mechanics and gameplay aren't always that bad for these, but the look of the games ruin it for me. Idk why but to me n64 games look like a dumpster fireEven ps1 doesn't always look good but they still made up for it by adding enough to keep it playable
>>11246635Ps1 is visual diarrhea without an emulator to stop the textures flying all over the screen but I'll agree a lot of n64 games have aged poorly
>>11246552Liked playing as Glenda because of the machine gun.
>>11246635what about the ps2? you know it's like based off the same sgi workstation?
Old 2d mmos were peak gaming
>>11246516I still play it
>>11247157>bigger focus on items What else can there be to focus on? Killing dragons for no reward would get old pretty quick. At least it's not full gear queer like osi with twenty stats on a pair of earrings
>>11248181I liked some free shards that let you do PvM for cosmetics and stuff like that. Special hues for hair, clothes, mounts, polar bear mounts, blessing items. But none of it was really necessary to make your character stronger. Other than that the focus was just on PvP and special events.>twenty stats on a pair of earringsLol when I started playing OSI again I was surprised to see that gear stats got even worse that way. It just feels like such a waste of time to have to constantly check items for stats like that. Comparing numbers on a spreadsheet vs actually just playing the game.
>LOL he died
>>11243310Any of you remember text based MUDs?I played Aeon of Darkness constantly
Thoughts about this game?
This webm with a CRT filter looks super good
>>11248724this looks kinda cool, i wanna play it. but that webm is rendered environments , right?
>>11248771There are 3D envrionments, but the interiors like that are some odd mix of pre-rendered segments on a 3d envrionment. It's very convincing how it's all rigged together, genuinely hard to tell how they pulled it off. Also Yoko Taro worked on it.
>>11248724It's a half capsule with the pre-rendered background textures. No idea how it does the layering between the models and the foreground stuff since it's part of the cylinder. I can't post images now, but I took some snapshots of the wireframe. Also it only have 2 names, Activision fucked up the american release.
Good techno-thriller action game.
What's the prettiest retro game?
>>11248163Are you really that mad that I asked if a 5th gen game that has digitized backgrounds and Metal Slug's animations are both on the same level? In a board that constantly fights over this shit regardless of which one is posted (like you're doing right now)?You don't have to be brown online, you know.
>>11248185My estimation of your IQ plummets with every post you make
Catlevania symphony of the night, metal slug, DBZ log and buu fury, digimon world, crash bandicoot, medievil, age of empires 2.These games have charming styles, even today they look amazing.
>>11247864This came to my mind first when I saw the question.Most disney side scrollers were nice (hercules also) but Aladin was maybe the prettiest
>>11247864When I was a kid, if a game could make think "wow, it looks like a CARTOON!" then it always left a major impression on me visually. I remember feeling this way about Mario 2 (and later, World), TMNT arcade and Aladdin. It was jaw dropping at the time.
Autumn is upon us...(though we hit almost 90 fucking degrees around here today). What are some games you associate with the season? Not really talking about Halloween here. Feel free to be self-indulgent here.Earthbound is an easy one, for no other reason that fall is a cozy season and EB is a pretty cozy game. Threed post-zombies really captures that fall feeling for me.
>>11241181I think the silent hill games count easily>inb4 reddit hill postsI associate them with post halloween pre christmas where the weather gets worse but no snow. Not so much a "scary" game but a mellowed out game with horror themes. Modern apocalypse themed games try to capture the colder weather dark cloudy setting too but I think the silent hill games were in a better era for graphics where you could still let your mind wander more instead of be overwhelmed with modern fancy graphics effects or visual noise.
>>11248390I've actually never played SH but you are right, the outdoor environments scream "November" to me.
>>11245017The average monthly high temps haven't gone up at all according to NOAA data.They only look like they went up when scientists paid off by the government add new measurement stations that happen to be in the middle of an airport or concrete parking lot.
its not exactly retro (yet) but does anybody else play fallout 3 every year in the fall? I always associate it with that season
>>11241181One thing for me in the fall and winter is my big down time comes when I'm watching football, so I tend to play games that don't require my full attention. Played some civ 2 last Sunday, make my plans during commercials and skip turns in between plays. Or I grind in rpgs. Sometimes I fire up Sim City 2-4(more often now it's skylines) or any other city builder. Tycoon games are good too, I'll play a lot of RCT in the fall. Games with a time system that involve waiting.If I get bored of that I might play a platformer I'm really familiar with. Mega Man X is a good example, commercials and on field stoppages have got so bad I can blow through an entire level or almost 2 before play resumes some times. That's only if I haven't switched over to redzone, then there's too much going on.
Are there any games of this genre that aren't designed to milk coins from kids at the arcade, and are actually fair? Just using a continue every time feels lame, but trying to actually finish a game without dying is torture and not fun
>>11235793The Final Fight games are not THAT fucking hard, just pick Haggar and learn how to grapple and throw cunts around like they're ragdolls, the man is goddamn sexual tyrannosaur, and his moveset improves with each title.If you just absolutely need to, turn down the difficulty and play with the CPU 2 player (at least in FF3), and that'll pick some of the slack. Mind that I say all this shit as someone who's self-proclaimed as not actually very good at fighting games and beatemups. SF2 and SF4 filter me on Normal, that's where THIS faggot is at.>>11235976>Final Fight is not a fair gameHoly fuck, listen to yourself. Have some humility.>>11236236You're missing the part where an arcade game, in addition to trying to make money, also has to be attractive to play to achieve that. You can make a ball busting wall of a game where you plug in a credit card and then hammer a button which debits you $0.25 to keep going through endless dying, but nobody thinks that shit is fun so nobody is going to interact with and thus pay to play the game.There's actually is some truly shameless quarter munchers out there, but when you look at the actually famous arcade games, they generally have enjoyable gameplay and aren't actually complete bullshit. Even pretty bullshitty ones like Total Carnage, which wasn't even fucking finished and didn't actually have its promised unlockable ending, was actually pretty fun, and people discovered that the game wasn't finished because they enjoyed it so much to actually play it that hard and far.
>>11248164>You can make a ball busting wall of a game where you plug in a credit card and then hammer a button which debits you $0.25 to keep going through endless dying, but nobody thinks that shit is fun so nobody is going to interact with and thus pay to play the game.Tell that to Midway's T2 and Revolution X
I've been playing some Mighty Final Fight lately and I really like the experience system they implemented instead of scoring. You level up to slightly improve your stats and health, and then at Lv.4 out of 6 you get a second special move, but the main thing that makes it interesting for me is that you only get experience when an enemy dies and the amount depends on what you killed with so they're able to reward kills that require more setup or risk with more EXP, and then there's the three characters leveling at different rates as well. It's a really cool system that gives depth to what would otherwise be a pretty blatant demake of FF'89 (though the limited amount of content and the pits that instantly eat up a Life are knocks against it). I wouldn't say it's better than 1989 or 3 but it's better than 2 and way better than the other spinoffs, probably about on par with FFOne.
>>11235803It was only hard because you never went to the bookstores and got the power-ups and went to the restaurants and upgraded your character
I want to pitch violent storm.Some bosses are unfair but you can learn em. Stages are fair. Also compensates by having insanely good gameplay by the time and just being ridiculously fun.
Human beings, think about what you've done.
