-Is there any difference between Hard mode on the Japanese version of the PC port to the Nightmare version on Dreamcast?
-I noticed you can get headshots on Hard mode, is that present in Nightmare mode?
-if you upgrade the Matilda can you still get headshots?
-Is the only hard thing about Hard/Nightmare mode that enemies are bullet sponges? Do they do more damage or are items different?

Sending reviewers early hardware is a tiny slither of the total produced units, and is generally considered good form anyway. People have a right to be upset about the delays, and frankly I don't think the firmware in its current state could be considered complete, but complaining about review units is fucking stupid.

That's fair, considering all the review units so far don't even have all the features that are on Analogue's site yet.

Why does it take them so fucking long to translate the Twilight Syndrome games? Wtf. A crapton of literal who games have been translated but not Twilight/Moonlight Syndrome. Man some of the games from that 'series' that no one gives a fuck about got translations as well. Hell, even Otogiriso got translated
>>
>>12189912
I just watched a translated youtube video of Twilight Syndrome since it looks the kind of game where I'd get the whole story from not even playing.
I tried the same with Moonlight Syndrome but Suda's touch on it was way too boring to me, and I gave up when a sudden psychic battle broke out
>>

I tried playing Twilight Syndrome and yeah it's a walking sim, you are not losing much by just 'playing' it on Youtube but I get why some people want to push the buttons themselves, it's more immersive that way

>>12190005
The gameplay is that you have to "solve the mystery" or you get a bad ending or something, so there's that.
>>
>>12190007
I guess, I never finished it though. Iirc your save file carries over to the second game and only that one has alternate endings, the first one doesn't. Makes sense because it was originally supposed to be one game

It's a mix with puzzle games where you die if the blocks reach below the line, and making the ball fall spawns more lines.
That said, it's actually a good idea in PC to do it at the start of the round because in many layouts it's easy to hit the top blocks, make the rest fall down, and produce tons of garbage to fill the opponent screen.

Bought it along with the special controller for PSX years ago and not just for the bunny girl. Though it sucks that it was only released in Japan and Europe, and that the PSX version has a lot of frames of animation removed from the arcade version.

as long as you use a USBA-USBC cable it does not matter which charger you use, the limit USB-A has by design is the limit that is safe for these devices. It is when you start using USB-C to USB-C that the higher voltage threshold becomes dangerous.

Why is it so boring and dry and slow-paced? Why didn't they actually make interesting and unique NPCs and fun quests with player agency instead of just flooding the game with huge empty landscapes, copy-pasted interiors, and generic NPCs that are basically walking glossaries, regurgitating the same drivel verbatim as dozens of other NPCs in the game?

Also the journal system in vanilla/XboxGotY version is absolutely fucking abysmal. You basically have to write your own notes because good luck flipping through hundreds of pages to find information about a quest just to find your character didn't even write down the relevant information about where to go or what you need to do. No way to view active quests, no way to view completed quests, no way to remove/archive journal entries.

I don't know. There's so much new content it's best to make a non-magic char and get lost in the world so you just walk around and do stuff instead of 'tisming about ingredients and x5 to attributes.

They got parts of Cyrodiil (at least 3 towns) in there too, I've only been to Anvil so far but it's great, better/richer in content than Oblivion.

6th gen gaming as a whole has now garnered an outsized positive reputation that omits no system of the era. Saying gaming peaked in this generation is not a controversial statement, and all game systems would be tapped for examples without qualifications.

I don't think 6th gen was that great desu. PC gaming was fine as it was before steam. 7th gen (not retro) built off trends from 6th gen of shooters being dominant. Xbox was cool if you had a toaster PC but the fun and innocence of 90s and early 00s was gone with the xbox. I would rank indies and flash games as more artistic and sovl then most games on 6th gen systems. Xbox was kinder because it brought in anti nerd video games.
>>
>>12188282
I feel similarly. 6th generation has ay more games i don't even want to see. People talk about the quantity but its so much junk. Sports games and licensed garbage. And a lot of great genres died. Companies died. Experimentation died.

>Try to keep things /vr/ related: Focus should be on 6th Gen Consoles and older. Slight off topic is fine so long as it's related to CRTs, such as later 16:9 models, HD models, etc. Systems with backwards compatibility are also safe territory, as are re-releases on newer hardware. PC CRTs are also welcome and appreciated.
>Produce OC! Bust out your camera and take photos of your CRTs displaying all sorts of games, featuring all sorts of tubes, using all sorts of signals. Getting good shots can be hard, but if you take enough, at least a few will turn out alright.

Limited discussion of video processing and scaling devices is alright, but remember to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories.

Too bad for composite dogmatists because companies created different hardware for different tastes since people were allowed to have their own fucking tastes.

Well, that was great. The final boss was utter bullshit/maybe I didn't understand the mechanics or something, but otherwise holy shit that was a cool ending.
I'm guessing ATHENA was ordered to nuke the US because Haunts were starting to show up in huge numbers? The Paranormal research institute that ordered the nuking seem to imply it, as nothing else paranormal seems to exist in the game.
