I played a sex mod for Fallout called Fuckout or something like that. I remember you could screw Tandi, and there were two options to do it: gentle or hard; then you either saved her or left her there for the Raiders, and I ended up leaving her because screwing Tandi hard alerts them to your presence and I was too underpowered to kill them all.

I started playing FFX for the first time in 2026 a few months ago after putting it off for decades; it holds up incredibly well for a 2001 game. The graphics, art style, music, et cetera are all excellent. I even like the English voice acting too.

Yes, all it takes is seeing which direction the bar follows when you're stupid and take damage. But of course, my brain is mush and if I strain it a little more I think I can talk to my ancestors or pop a vein in my head and die.
So it's not awful to have someone express possible concerns over it.

Horse and carriage zzzz can't wait for you old people to die to be desu.

I'm playing MediEvil.
I like that Sir Dan's head moves around, makes me conscious of him as a separate person. Also if he has no weapons he pulls off his left arm and uses that to hit enemies.
He has a redemption arc, being that he fell very early on in a decisive battle won by the villain, but now has a chance to right wrongs. Quite a bit of character for someone who doesn't talk, at least I think so.

In Australia we had an entire demo disc themed around MediEvil 1, the packaging was so cool and the booklet came with a lot of info about the game and other games releasing around the same time.
>>
>>12713958
I wouldn't have minded if they "remade" the first game for a third time if they at least "reimagined" it like how the RE2 Remake did earlier in 2019. Even though I still think the original RE2 is superior, the 2019 remake was a lot of fun and a modern twist on the original. MediEvil needed something like that, even if they had updated the control scheme and maybe made the combat more difficult.

>>12715890
I've actually got that Winter Releases 98 disc, but I never knew it came in a MediEvil booklet. I'm sure I've also got the game on one of the PlayStation Australia magazines that used to come with a demo disc stuck to the front cover.

Recently got a cool crt tv but I only have a ps2 and wii to use it with natively. But wii controller kinda sucks and I don't know how good ps2 retro emulation is.
I know retroarch can display 240p but I don't know how easy it is to get a new pc or console to connect to a crt.

The Pro controllers are good, and you can even plug in the NES Mini and SNES Mini controllers into a Wiimote as well.

You don't need PS2 emulation at all. Just mod a compatible PS2 with freemcboot and load up a harddrive with tons of roms. Super easy and affordable to do, you just need a few parts, like memory card loaded with the hacks, sata hard drive adapter and a mechanical or sata ssd harddrive. Youtube a guide or AI will tell you every step. Costs like $50 in total.

It's even easier with Wii. You can load it up with both gamecube and wii roms. Again just look it up. I wouldn't bother with crt emudriver, it's a pain in the ass unless you have autism and enjoy tinkering with settings just cause. Even when perfected it's completely inferior to original hardware or using something like a pi or mister. It can be good for watching 480p torrents or self rips on tv though.

the main hump of game development is the scaffolding and major features, once you have that done iterative content falls into place or at least in the time of low fidelity assets. trying to scam people with unfinished games is just going to create marketing headaches. also arcade style games were borne out of multi thousand dollar business investments so extra content on top wasn't an unreasonable expectation..

More info surfaced and it's faithful to the DS version to a fault, most references to the silver case are untouched and they missed some references to DS exclusive features (a flowchart, and some optional shit puzzles), though they plan on updating it to fix that.
Autists who did JP PS2/DS Europe script comparisons looking for faults apparently praise how direct and faithful it is (aside from how unfamiliar the original translators are with TSC) but that didn't keep a separate team from translating the JP PS2 script from Japanese directly. They still to release their version next so it's too soon to judge

Why do people pretend that 90's internet was this luxury that only rich people had? By 98 everybody I knew already had internet, and I'm a europoor from a poor family.

>>
>>12714790
>Why do people pretend that 90's internet was this luxury that only rich people had?
Because it was, for the most part, despite numerous exceptions (including universities, some european districts where the government deployed socialized internet infrastructure, and places with a strong internet cafe economy). Less than 50% of Americans used the internet in the year 2000, and those numbers were even lower in Europe -- Germany and the UK were both around 30%. So even if there were pockets of lower-class people getting online, the bulk of the internet population was either upper-middle class or higher, or the kind of smart and conscientious low-income kid able to get scholarships to study at a university

Plus, the actual 90s those numbers were even lower. In 1992 it was like 0.5% in the US. So 1998 would be significantly less than even the year 2000 numbers I quoted.

I suppose it's about the directors/artists intent. So what if it "looks better" when they deliberately did not give the characters those proportions in the game, unlike FF8. Why not re-edit novels or re-edit movies and say they're "better" as well? The writer/director is the writer/director for a reason.

I'm afraid you didn't beat the game

After thoroughly enjoying Warioland II, I decided to play the first Warioland since I heard it was better than the second one. Unfortunately, I'm not having a good time with this game.
Most of my problems with the game revolve around Wario himself. First, he moves and jumps at a snail's pace; furthermore, the ability to take damage and shrink is quite annoying, especially when combined with the first issue. Compared to Warioland II, Wario in Super Mario Land 3 feels like a neutered version of Mario. Admittedly, the game does have 'MARIO' in the name, but that still doesn't change the fact that playing as Wario is not a fun time.
There are some parts of the game I do like, such as:
>Sprites
>Level design (for the most part)
>The hat system
But to me, they don't balance out the bad stuff. This is all just my opinion, and I can see why some people would enjoy this game. What are your thoughts on Warioland 1?
>>
Wario being slower and bulkier made sense to me, dashing and tackling enemies was and and different, more aggressive than Mario games. Also ground pound.
I honestly feel like it's an amazing game.
I never played II though, or the others except for Virtual Boy Wario Land which I loved as well
>>
>>12717449
I understand Wario feeling bulkier, but I personally think Warioland II was slightly better when it came to making Wario feel like a walking tank.
Perhaps I was too harsh when writing the original post
>>
Warioland 2 is the best of the three. 3 is close, but annoying because it doles out your base abilities really slowly and makes you backtrack through the same levels repeatedly. 1 is just incredibly slow, clunky and boring, a really half baked concept that 2 got right.
>>
Warioland 1 has short levels and you can move faster when you have the Flightcap. Or when you're charging.
