I had the gameboy version of this. Strangely ambitious for a gameboy game, but the manual confused me since it made references to things that were cut from the NES version.
There was an Addams family cartoon?

The loss of the uncompressed Blade Runner (1997) assets is probably one of the biggest PC gaming tragedies
I think Grim Fandango is a bigger loss.
>>12254379It’s weird how good that game was. Crazy that no one talks about it.
>>12254379But if it had pin-sharp backdrops, McCoy and most of the NPCs would still be represented by blocky voxel figures. Better backdrops would make the voxels look even worse by contrast.Graphics are not the only issue with this game. Much as I liked it in my youth, I increasingly find fault with it now. Westwood's Blade Runner is at its best when it's recycling scenes and characters from the film. When it introduces its own characters, they tend to conflict with the established, grim tone, as with the standup comedian in the club, or the equally wacky gun shop guy. You don't see dorks like these in the film.The only good original character is Lucy, because in hindsight it's very funny that the game allows you to elope with a girl of fourteen and presents this as one of its happy endings. But there's a problem with Lucy. She's supposed to be a sympathetic character – possibly the only sympathetic character here – but she does something that makes no sense, and lessens my sympathy. The opening scene shows that Mr. Runciter expects Lucy to provide sexual favours as part of her job, and that Lucy hates this. The question is: why does she go to her place of work dressed like a half-naked goth prostitute if she doesn't want the attentions of the dirty old man who runs the place? If Lucy is supposed to be using her feminine charms to take advantage of Runciter, then she should have been written as that cynical kind of character, and not as the innocent waif she is.
Ugh, some things are better in 'standard def.' All the actors in movies look like shit now. Pixel art is quirky and cute now, not well thought out to take advantage of the nature of the CRT... there used to be a real art to these things.Now you just shove in shaders and polygons and it poops out. No need to worry or think about things people used to hand craft.
>>12254379Very sad indeed
What sets a developer above the usual, beyond the rest, is a respect for the product that demands every aspect of its presentation and delivery be at its peak.
>>12254190T2X was great. Had some really fun missions. The story and storytelling was a little bit of a letdown though. At least the cutscenes. I liked the in-game stuff.
>>12254559No, it isn't. What do you think it's a metaphor for? Do you know what a metaphor is?
>>12253957>fantasy/horror/magic crap of T1actual pleb
>>12254621You're genuinely retarded
>>12252912>Are the creators of the Black Parade mod, ever going to release another amazing mod like they did with said mod.They've released many great fan missions so check those out
Just picked up a Nintendo 64 off of Craigslist about an hour ago. Put it in my garage and came out to plug it in. Noticed it had a weird smell to it and it was very dirty so I opened it up and found a bunch of dead bugs inside of it. I think they have all passed since but this is pretty fucking disgusting. Should I try to clean this up and use it? I'm pretty grossed out by it. I've since moved out back to my truck because I don't want bedbugs or cockroaches or whatever this is inside my home.
>>12252493European paper wasps are super mellow. Their arms are slack because of it. I never harm them and never will. If you're calm and wear non-loud colors like red, they'll like you.My console bug-enemy are case layers, those tiny bugs that slowly crawl up a wall. They're harmless too, but they like comfy homes.

>>12250987What the fuck are you talking about? I was just playing and literally skipped half of the upgrades just to go straight to Ridley.
>>12250408>>Extremely linear, computer tells you where to goextremely linear is contra. a single right left corridor. don't misuse adjectives. past the tutorial area you must puzzle out a path to an objective with incomplete map information. if you find those limitations are a failure to live up to metroid then fair enough but for what it is it isn't *extremely* linear. most of your other points aren't worth responding to.
>>12251715it's a top 10 game on a major system.
>>12254649Read the other posts pajeet.>>12254724Yeah no.
>>12250415Nah this game sucks
>NES Zelda? I LOVE it! finding secrets, drawing my own map, exploring wherever I want. They dont make 'em like they used to>NO MINIMAP? BOMBABLE WALLS? ROUTE MEMORIZATION? NO GATED OFF AREAS? AAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEwhy are you like this?
>>12253820>>12253865The way the game is interacted with now is way different than it was back then. No maps. No concepts of what power ups even existed. So from screen one, it was non stop continuous practice on how to do platforming and approach enemies. And because of the backtracking, and mysteries, you were going back and forth over everything multiple times, to the point where you got better, and more and more of the map was an area you could gain energy just from traversing. It's a different attitude to now where you expect to be able to fill up your e-tank every time. And also remember the final score is based on time. You would get better and faster.The real difference maker was of course the screw attack, which was not an obvious weapon to start with.. >>12254560>>12254558Zoomer.
>>12254687I don't know what's worse, that a /vr/ meme ended up on social media, or that you're using the social media picture on /vr/ instead of the actual /vr/ versionHere is the og pic for you to use. I know it's the og because I made it
>>12253734>metroid still does alright>becomes a long running staple all the way until it is defiled today>all the wayIt's amazing how everyone forgets that the franchise was considered dead until Metroid Prime revived it. The only reason they gave it to Retro Studios was precisely because the franchise was dead so there was no harm if they fucked it up.Or rather than "forget", they don't know, because they were still young when MP was made and assume it was always like that. Super Metroid only gained its current status after MP was made and thanks to emulation with the usual trend of "new game comes out -> I'll pretend I'm more knowledgeable by talking about the old game in that series even though I didn't care about it before said new game".
It seems like ever Metroid game since Fusion and Prime has been a step down. Prime 2 not as good as Prime 1, Prime 3 was bad, then Other M was crap. After that I had no faith in the series anymore and my 3DS broke, so I never got to play the others. For some strange reason it seems like they keep trying to force melee combat into Metroid since Other M. I didn't have high expectations for Prime 4, but when I saw the motorcycle that was enough to kill any interest I had, even before everyone was crying over the soiboy.
>>12253626I don't want to play either of them. Both were replaced by their SNES sequels.

I am having a lot of fun with Wild Guns ReloadedWild West but it has robots is a cool aesthetic
>>12253604>I didn't know the genre had its own nameThat was a joke
>>12251758I love the original (played it a bunch this summer), and I've eyed Reloaded before. How does it differ gameplay wise?
>>12254812>gameplay wiseplayed them back to back and i didn't really notice much. reloaded is probably more responsive?
>>12254812Remaster is widescreen so there are more enemies at once on the screen but each invidivual enemy tends to be slower and less of a threatIt also gets rid of the bonus stages (not a big loss)2 new characters that play differently, and 2 new stages which depend on which difficulty you selected

An entire generation of the gaming industry invested all its efforts and energies in developing the ultimate Quake Killer, and there was never a Quake Killer.
Half Life was the Quake killer. Halo was the Half Life killer. COD was the Halo killer.
>>12254876>muh enginePCfag logic. I guess the whole industry is a bitch of Unreal now, because of UE?
>>12254891This is all true except half life didnt matter

Turns out, ten years after the Retrobright fad from a decade ago, has only accelerated the yellowing of plastics and made them even more brittle than just leaving them alone. What more is there to really add?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n_WpjseCXA

The lesson to learn here is stop trying to preserve electronics, just figure out how to digitize everything and quit wasting your time and energy.

Post games that could been a master piece.
>>12253653That game -was- a masterpiece, at least on PS2 and Apple Mac
The game is both interesting and flawed.It's almost like a 16-bit survival horror game, but the imprecise aiming, enemies that jump on you without giving you time to react, the short time limit, and the fact that you have to find exits that aren't marked in any way make the overall experience quite frustrating.I haven't tried the SNES version yet, which is a different game.
>>12253653Mario and Zelda
>>12253653played this recently and it was fucking awesome. Probably the only game that gets both hand-to-hand and projectile weapons working in harmony. Only other games that come to mind are Dark Messiah and Devil's Third. I'd mention Breakdown but the shooting in that SUCKS

Currently trying to get into JRPGs, but I'm not sure what to play and what not to play, what's good and what's not. Recommend me some shit or bitch about my choices or just say whatever's on your mind, the thread is about JRPGs and not just about meOnes I'm currently playing:>Etrian Odyssey HDAutistic as hell, grindy as fuck in the early game, playing it on "Expert" (original DS difficulty) because I'm not a pussy, but it gets better once you've gotten a few floors in.>Xenosaga Episode IThis is exactly the game I want to play. Story-heavy, not garbage, interesting-but-not-too-autistic mechanics, everything looks and feels pretty cool. Anything else like this, especially but not necessarily cyberpunk/mecha/sci-fi?>Dark Sun: Shattered LandsNot a JRPG, but I'm pretty blown away by how good it is, and I'm not making an entire thread just to say that so mentioning it here.Ones I've actually finished:>FF1Played it high on crystal meth when I was homeless a few years back and fought every single random encounter in the entire game. 4/10 by modern standards.>Pokemon (all of them)I'm a fan.Comment too long.

>>12254391Would you recommend going with CoC or CoV for a first playthrough of SMTV? I just got done with another replay of Nocturne and I was thinking of starting this next.
>>12254563I can't really say honestly. I played the original Switch release first when it came out, but got bored halfway through the game and quit for a few years until the rerelease. I went CoC again when Vengeance came out, but played CoV right after beating the game for the first time.CoV has a more memorable story for sure, but it kind of builds upon the CoC story elements so you'll get more out of it if you played the original story first.Since you already like SMT I'd say go for CoC, but if you think you're only gonna do a single playthrough maybe just skip straight to CoV.
>>12251883Somehow this year I became a DQfag and played 1-6 and 8 (owned 9 when it was out and played it to death) this year. I should probably look into the Monsters games because I'm a Pokemon/MegaTenfag at heart.4 is neat and probably the game that I'd recommend someone jump into the series with. Play the DS version as the NES version forces your non-Hero party members to be AI controlled and you don't want to play a game where your healer is obsessed with insta-kill spells that never work.

What's your favorite retro pokemon?
>>12254480so, yesmaybe you're just bad at the game
