I have tried to shill druaga to lots of buddies before but they think it a little too autistic for them, lol. It takes a certain type perhaps.

Also worth playing is Gekisha Boy! That's one of the funniest and quirky games on the system. Folks always have a laugh seeing it.

GT is a glorified NFS. the driving simulator tagline refers to the career mode and buying/selling cars, it's still an arcadey physics model

Retro 2D fanservice is such a sublime art which deserves better than being relegated to some lame, unerotic h-games. It's amazing what you can do with a faint glimpse and a handful of pixels, much better than obnoxiously shoving boob physics in your face.

what does /vr/ think of GOG and their goal of bringing Good Old Games™ back to the market and making them easily compatible with modern hardware?

GoG didn't have a choice. Zoom Platform is the only one who got them to sign a perpetual license, so they can't make them take it down.
I also like Zoom Platform though. My game is on there :^)

>>12256320
Wish they would stop focusing on their shitty Galaxy client, and actually get publishers to pack in extras like they used to a decade ago. I also think it's hilarious they prioritize "bringing Good Old Games™ back to the market and making them easily compatible with modern hardware" when that was always their original intent.

Shitty scam service run by poolacks, there is literally nothing wrong with Steam which is a much better platform, and American-made. Not only that, Valve is actively helping PC gamers by developing Proton, so games can run great on Linux. GoG has done jack shit.

Here we post stupid game mechanics.

I'll start, natures and EVs introduced in Pokemon gen 3

>oh you catched a new pokemon? Well there is a 2/25 is useful, a 21/25 is neutral and a 4/25 chance is fucking shit.
>EVs
>oh you used your physical attacker to beat that special attacker? Now he is gonna be weaker on the long run, you should have defeated 50 poochyenas before starting your adventure.

Isn't it weird how Jigglypuff was shilled a lot back in gen 1 as the Pikachu for girls? It's not even that important in Pokemon Red and Blue, not a single named npc uses one, you can easily miss it, Clefairy a few steps north is a direct upgrade and yet it got a recurring appearance in the anime, got into fucking smash (pretty underserved)

Eevee in contrast has actually become the "Pikachu for girls" without any first installment weridness shilling necessary, just by pure merit of its design.

OG and X are too old, nobody cares about these characters because they haven't been relevant in 30 years, and they suffer from success because too many indie platformers have ripped them off and done it better.

Battle Network was never good, it just convinced a bunch of kids that it was with "cool" character designs and collect-'em-all mechanics. Even the indie games that tried to rip off the battle system were unsuccessful.

Zero is pretty much done, the games were never great and there are simply too many 2D action indie side-scrollers for it to compete.

Ironically Legends could be huge if they made a big action-RPG with the classic cel-shading which is so in right now. But they would have to remake the first two games and revive Legends 3 which will never happen.

What I love about Super Mario World is that it provides more room for voluntary challenges rather than requiring that you complete the game a certain way. For example, it has been suggested the cape feather is overpowered, though much of the game is designed around providing opportunities for the cape to make things easier. Instead, one can opt to use the arguably less common fireflower, which while powerful, has different mechanics that offer a fresh way to play through the levels. If anything, it can be a challenge just to keep the flower without losing or overwriting it. I much prefer open, organic modes of play like this to mandatory "here's the rules for this segment, complete it to check of a box saying you cleared the content".

Yeah, it's decently long. Took me 18 hours to go through on Normal, although I spent a long while trying to get to grips with the controls but once they clicked it was great.

Honestly one of the best games I've ever played, OP might be shitposting but it's similar to Super Metroid but in 3D.
