The Lock-On gimmick Sega was trying to push in the 90s with Sonic & Knuckles and this was not really that successful

That's the V2, here's the V1. Same thing, but the newer looked cooler.
I had one back then. It was pretty bad because there was absolutely no need for accuracy: just shoot in the general direction of the opponent and you'll hit in a 3m radius.
Pros:
>the "lives" displayed in the eyepiece looked cool as fuck
>there was a trick to disable the ping sound
>there was also a super shot which costed 3 lives

Then suggest retro games. There's no rule in /vr/ that you have to pretend it's the year 1999, just don't talk about older games as threads. This thread is about point and clicks, but they didn't stop being made after the 80s. Go be a crybaby somewhere else.

Retarded newfag. How about, instead of pulling your own rules out of your ass, you just go and read the stickied post instead?
Any posts discussing non-retro games should get deleted, and they did, back when this board's moderation wasn't in the shitter like it is now.

It's about the gestalt, not one thing or another. That said, later Tekken games polished their fighting systems while losing most of the original's charm. I'd say Tekken 4 was the last "cool" Tekken game.
>>
>>12430056
>I'd say Tekken 4 was the last "cool" Tekken game.
no, it was definitely tekken 5. everything after that has been more and more soulless. tekken 5 has THE best intro, and incredibly solid cast, introduced customizations, and has moonlit wilderness stage. t4 was definitely cool, but t5 was even better.

What makes Nintendo characters so universally appealing and iconic?

I'm going to guess the coffee shop in Mario and Luigi superstar saga. A shit load of Nintendo characters make cameos in there if you do some kind of bean collection I think. Could be totally fucking wrong though.

>>12425873
Mario reminds me of a mix between Mickey and Popeye, which is a winning combination. The red color in particular is to me necessary for a good mascot, which you can also see in the tie they gave to Donkey Kong and Sonic's shoes for example. There's also the stocky body that both Mario and DK have on their sprites/models that complement the mascot feeling. As for Link, I legit think it's nothing special for a design, just good enough, and got popular because the games are popular.
>>
>>12428824
He's a cartoony everyman.
>>12426035
If Mario and Link are the designs you get from being forced into a low-res pixel environment with limited colors, Star Fox is an angular, low-poly design. Not surprising he's nowhere close to as iconic as the 2D designs.

Most people will probably struggle with the lack of mana potions for sale, even though it's not really that big of a deal and does kind of balance the game a bit in some ways

>>12427586

Why does that matter? Synergies mean you get use out of extraneous skill points to make the skills you actually use even better
>>
>>12427594
Having more focus on energy stat and mana gear felt like it made more sense unlike energy being useless 99% of the time now.

Barb is kind of ass until you get WW but at least that's more useful pre-1.10. Playing barb kind of sucks most of the time otherwise. But you can still get through most of normal even with just basic attacks even if it's slow and boring.

>>12429942
You could use those skill points on something you might actually want to use instead, rather than having to put them into a useless skill just for a damage boost to your actual main skill. If some skills were weak or useless then they should've been changed directly. The game gives you so many options but then tells you that you have to build a specific way or end up underpowered. It was a heavyhanded "fix" for some skills being useless.

>tfw you realize the tyrant is just mean machine from the 95 dredd movie

Wesker is an UMBRELLA lab researcher. He also is Captain of S.TA.R.S.
He wants to either steal Tyrant, or at least collect the combat data from Tyrant killing Team S.T.A.R.S.
UMBRELLA doesn’t know what Wesker is up to, outside of the few whom suspect before becoming infected. An infection which spread fast at first but has now mutated. If you extemd to Code Veronica, the retcon is Wesker intended to be killed by Tyrant as well, so he could be born again as Super Wesker from the progenitor virus. But sticking to RE, Wesker is betryaying UMBRELLA by doing anything other than destroying the lab and Tyrant. To say S.T.A.R.S. has orders from UMBRELLA is Wesker, because he was Captain who gave orders to members. The team is clueless. Wesker is running the show. He is having a fued with UMBRELLA as to the value of Tyrant and makes a psychotic decision that sets up the reason for the game.
>>
>>12429921
Yeah his orders were to collect embryos from all from all the other BOWs except for Tyrant. For whatever reason Umbrella wanted it destroyed along with the lab and any surviving personnel and lab animals.

Tekken 3, the fighting genre's second big hit (after Street Fighter 2)

That was Art of Fighting in Japan, and Mortal Kombat in the USA+Canada.

not a smash hit in Japan. Art of Fighting was huge tho.

The absence of clarification suggests the term is being used contextually rather than descriptively. My tentative interpretation is that "gurl" denotes an individual exhibiting feminine presentation while lacking biological female status. In other words, a social rather than genetic classification.

this. i was so disappointed when i tried out baldur's gate 2 and found out it's nothing like diablo 2. fuck all that shit.
>>
>>12429886
Honestly, it's not very good. The isometric controls kind of suck and you can only shoot in 8 directions on a grid while the enemies you fight can move any number of degrees in any direction so they can easily get into spots where you can't hit them even though they can hit you. In addition to this forcing you to constantly reposition during combat, you can't move while shooting so it becomes 10 times more of a pain. It just kinda fucking sucks to play.

>>12429269
>There's a reason that no one younger than 40 even cares about that shit
Lots of zoomers played Baldurs Gate 3 because it's as gay as they are.
