Can anyone give a definitive answer as to why the Japanese have the rightmost face button as Confirm/OK and the bottommost button as Cancel/Back while it is the opposite for Americans?

I get the whole O is yes and X is no thing, but even during the SNES days I remember most games having the B button be the Confirm/OK button. And, later of course, the Xbox made the OK button green and No button red like traffic lights so that further solidified it.

But like what was the first game with a controller like this (4 buttons in a diamond or slanted rectangular shape) to swap the buttons between regions?

im no expert, but i always assumed it was something about how they read from right to left, while whoever made the decision in the west simply rested their thumb on the bottom button and considered that the default action/confirm button.
>>
>>12469835
X was confirm on ps1 and circle was back. This was late 90s. I can’t forget because on the metal gear solid demo it was the other way around. I used to get those demo discs from Sony in the post

>>12476383
Triangle was back. Think about it you’ll remember

>>12476401
This. I always thought of it as an eject from whatever menu you were in, like an escape button. Maybe some used O, but everything I can think of used triangle.

>>12469690
>Make start a triangle for some reason.
It was to mimic the "play" button from music players.

"Hey, we wanna keep the gameplay faithful, so you know what was REALLY fun during the original game, having the course drag your car along to where IT thinks you should be in our fully 3D game instead of coming up with a physics model like we were willing to do for Sega Rally Revo."

I always do this thing where I find something I've never heard of, think it's cool as hell, get far enough in it to realize that it's not good, then have too much sunk cost fallacy to give it up.

Even on a controller the vibration is tuned to make it feel like you're feeling the vibrations as you go across bumps, and I like how the wheel trails on the track actually effect your handling slightly.

Ys or Dragon Quest?

Dragon Quest is the game that built the JRPG mould, along with Ultima Exodus's Famicom port. Pretty much DQ nails having an interconnected overworld you can navigate better as your character grows, and DQ2 makes that character into several characters, giving us the basic jrpg party. Both don't feel as archaic as they look and can be enjoyed today provided you're not expecting modern conveniences.

Ys wanted to make the rpg simpler and arcadier to the layman while giving them great presentation/music throughout. Bump combat is fun and the only issue is level scaling - you need to hit certain thresholds or certain bosses are never losing hp before you die. To be fair, Ys 1 is a lot like DQ1 - far shorter and a taster of the main course that is 2, but the first third of a whole the longer second games complete.

Yes, native goldeneye is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than emulated goldeneye. Not just because of the lowered FPS but the fact that enemies are borderline invisible and blend into the background after certain distances. Aztec feels near impossible, and the target times feel frustratingly hard to pull off as you slam your body into the sides of doors and get stunlocked by KF7 fire

I find that most people who bitch about the controls have just never tried using alternate control schemes. Using Solitaire basically fixes all the things people bitch about, other than it feeling "wrong" because it's a southpaw setup. It should have been the default scheme instead of Honey. Running diagonally using two C-buttons boosts your speed by about 40%, which makes earning cheats mich easier. It also lets you fly circles around those who don't know any better in multiplayer. I'm not even some meta/speedrunner fag, it's just stuff I noticed from playing the game a fuckton as a teenager.

tbf the previous book left all this as one big mystery, and the demon stuff has certainly escalated matters, so it's raising the stakes somewhat naturally.

That said, we really do need to get back to the plot.

Define modern. If you mean modern as in today, then no, that would be Resident Evil 4.

i think Amnesia PT and Outlast are the titles that matter most for modern horror. RE4's descendants are more enemy design driven in stuff like Uncharted, Gears of War

Alone in the dark trilooger here, completed these games an embarrassingly amount of times, to a point i can replay them in my head

...Not really? RE is far to action-y (even though you can just sprint past everything).
However, the OG AITD had a fair amount of combat as well,

I think it's more in line with Alone in The Dark 3. Just with less scenario variety and weird shit.

Less scary as well, because you never feel truly alone. If you turn off AITD 3 music and leave the stings and sound FX on, it's a genuinely frightening game.
Really. I know the graphics are shit, but if you get into it and let your imagination take over, it's wonderful.

Whereas RE, is simply... it's RE. There's always people around and scenarios, while cramped, feel somewhat familiar.
Silent Hill is much better at this. (At what RE tried to be). Except maybe it gives the player way too much ammo

The game that ended the DOOM era of First-Person Shooters.
