It's like, Pokemon is specifically focused on getting RPG monsters to fight for you, that being the main drive for everything happening, and the monsters existing mostly to fight for the sake of that feels like such a boy thing, as that takes such precedence over any 'virtual pet' aspect that I'd suspect would appeal to girls more.

my ex didn't really play games and the first one i showed her as katamari. she'd hold the controller up just like the girl in the OP and move it as if it had gyro when going left/right. it was so cute. she'd get embarrassed when i pointed it out. i miss her so much.

>Like it's vastly more understandable that Zelda has such a huge female fanbase in comparison.
because the core experience of zelda isnt boyish in your opinion ?
i personally only know 2 women who regularly play video games and they both like zelda but what they really love is resident evil and silent hill,its also very common to see women online who are into these series.
one of them was the person that introduced me to silent hill when we played silent hill 4 together a long time ago,the other one i briefly dated when she wanted to try with a man (shes a lesbian) and we remain friend to this day and once in a while we play RE/SH together,she isnt a very skillfull gamer so i mostly play the part she has trouble with.

EA finally did it - they put modern ports of Ultima I-IX on Steam. VII includes Serpent Isle. It also has the two Underworld games, but not the two Worlds of Ultima games (Savage Empire/Martian Dreams). Are these ports any good? Do they come with 'achievements'?

They loved Ultima and Wizardry because they were early RPGs before even Dragon Quest and had depth and/or difficulty that their own domestic games didn't for a long time. He's posting screenshots from Exult though, since base U7 didn't have those kind of paperdolls. Those were ported over from Serpent Isle.

They typically included a reference booklet with the keyboard controls, and you can probably use a search engine to find .pdfs for all of manuals and ref booklets

Why do people basedgape every time some old game gets ported to another retro console? If you wanted to play it, you could have done it whenever you wanted to. Why is it a big deal because it now runs on a different thirty-year-old box? The original has been playable through emulation for decades. Were you waiting for someone to put it on your preferred obsolete hardware before you could give a shit? What the fuck?

God I fucking hate dealing with old games so much at times.

Trying to play some WC1 and WC2, because I only played WC4 back then.
I have a Thrustmaster 16000M stick and all I want is mapping afterburner and missile change to one of the buttons.
WCDX has its own arbitrary keybindings and puts even the useless nav map on the stick, but no afterburner binding and can't be changed.
AutoHotKey and Joystick Gemlin doesn't play nice with the game. It's janky and I have to press the button 2-3 times before it registers.
Thustmaster Target software has driver level bindings and works perfectly. Except when the profile is running, the throttle slider stops working because of no fucking reason, I didn't even change anything about it.

It's ridiculous. I tried 3 different methods and all of them are broken.

How do FF3 DS and FF4 DS by Matrix Software compare with the originals? Are they worth a playthrough?
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
Both of them are very different in terms of gameplay compared to their originals. FF4's main appeal is the higher challenge, while FF3's is in job balance reflecting the later FF games with job systems (jobs never become obsolete, they're simply different playstyles).
Storywise they add a lot of extra scenes. FF4's are interesting, but FF3's are just filler garbage.

I see a lot of people shit on Two Betryals for muh reuse of AotCR's map, but it's the most underrated level in the game, and one of the best. It combines everything that makes CE great.
>level starts and you're immediately placed into combat, no waiting room bullshit like Halo or Silent Cartographer
>get to explore a cool, moody snowfallen valley (at night this time)
>get to fight almost every enemy in the game, with just the right amount of Flood to add some variety (instead of the household chore known as The Library on Legendary)
>get to see the Covenant and Flood fighting huge battles, and you can use them to strategically against one another
>features every weapon in the game with ample but well-balanced ammunition
>incorporates opportunities for stealth, crafty resource management, arena fights, flying around in the Banshee, and all-out war between three (four if you count the Sentinels) factions
Genuinely a joy to play every time, and the petty criticisms don't add up compared to everything they did right with this one. Even the reuse of assets is barely a knock against it, since the level has a totally different atmosphere, includes several new areas, and is just a beautiful map to begin with. I love this level man, fuck the haters.

Common thought comes from the comments from the developer commentary, Cortana in an earlier concept of the story was meant to betray you after she went mad with power. Alternatively if you take Halo 1 as part of the Marathon universe you can say Spark is a reincarnation of one of the AI's and is now betraying you in the present and past universes.
>>
>>12925936
>>12925915
I always took the 2nd betrayal as MC and Cortana "betraying" guilty spark, which would be the case from his perspective. Basically both parties are being betrayed by the other at the same time.

Cortana doesn't stay behind in Two Betrayals, Master Chief puts her back in his helmet in the opening cutscene.

It's easier to defeat Freeze Man with the buster than with his weakness.
With the buster I usually defeat him while only taking damage like, once.
Meanwhile his weakness require close proximity with an enemy always moving while on ice physics, I have to trade damage with him every time.

I really love it and completed it several times over the years.
I like the combination of ammo being kinda scarce throughout most of the game and dinos being pretty op and actually chasing you, this makes the survival aspect pretty intense and gives you that "oh shit"-feeling whenever you come across a dino at the wrong moment.
I also like that the puzzles are actually challenging but still fair, most similar games of the time either had stupidly easy ones or required some weird ass moon logic.
But I get why some people don't like the game. The surroundings look kinda boring and empty, and backtracking can often be a pain in the ass since the map is pretty confusing on your first run with all those twisted hallways and similar looking rooms.
It's not a perfect game, but it really has its own charme.
>>
It seems like Dino crisis 1 and Parasite eve 1 are the fan favorite and their sequels are considered disappointing but personally i always felt the other way around

I prefer Dino crisis 2 and Parasite eve 2,more bold,harder,deep...
>>
>>12926853
Dunno about Parasite Eve since I only played the first one, but Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are basically completely different games so it's understandable that people prefer one over the other.
If you prefer action shooters, you'll like 2 more, and if you like survival horror you'll prefer 1.
Both games do a good job in their genre, but you really can't compare them since it's just a matter of taste.

Benzos really destroyed Lowtax life and I can relate in some ways, I've had my own issues with them over the years and the amount of retarded shit I have done, friends I have driven away, bridges I've burned etc when blackout fucked up on them is really pathetic. Not Lowtax tier but bad nonetheless. I have had substance abuse issues for two decades with various shit and benzos are the most sinister I think because they're the type of thing you take a few, get high but think you're not really that high and should take a few more. Then you're really fucked up but you forget you even took some more so you take some more... Pretty soon you're so wasted you are doing and saying ridiculous shit, destroying shit, etc and wake up not remembering most or any of it and dealing with the mess you've made. It sucks.
>>
>>12926198
i didn't know he was using benzos. i know the guy was abusing ambien and constantly sleepwalking, i would talk to him while he was sleepwalking

the benzo abuse must have been something he started doing later in life

he was a pretty funny guy when he changed his name on quake to jeffk and just griefed charging straight at people with the blaster and blowing himself up with rockets on purpose

also the guy definitely had dissassociative identity disorder without how many split personalities he had running SA
>>
>>12926209
Yeah he was abusing Xanax and shit too. Ambien can also cause the blackout shit and I've had issues with that too. I took like 20 of them once and I have no idea to this day what I did to the roommates we had then but they went from being friendly to telling my gf at the time furious the next morning to get the fuck out immediately and never talk to them or return again. She was working an overnight shift. Dude said he wouldn't even say what I did but that if the other roommate had been there he would've beat the fuck out of me. I don't know man, blackout drugs like that are horrible if you care at all about your relationships with other people because you wake up to people hating you or your shit wrecked and you have no memory of it and have to deal with the fallout.
