The more retro games I play, the more I realize the word "repetitive" is being thrown around by other retro gamers. I'm going to say it. There's NO such thing as repetitive games. It's an oldhead saying that should not even exist anymore. The concept of a lot of games IS repetitive. In the 2000's, they tried combating this complaint with those dumb multi-genre games in the 00's that ultimately failed. If a game feels too repetitive, play something else it's that simple.

Really? What are your favorite retro RPGs that aren't RPGs? I don't think I've heard this one before.

How did this magic work?
I heard the kids' inputs were not actually impactful to the game and instead there was someone playing the game nad reacting (often poorly) to the kids' key presses.
The most well known one was Hugo, but there was also Throut & Neck. Any others?
I wonder if Japan had any

On top of the two player mode it adds a new difficulty setting “HARD” which makes the game considerably harder than the original, as well as a computer helper mode where the second human controlled player is replaced by a computer.

I just finishd Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix and I did absolutely everything, all the dalmatians, all the extra bosses, and I played extensively with the gummi ship construction and made a badass ship with 8bit mario's face. I feel like I should play Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories before I start playing KH2.

Is this a bad idea? What am I in for?

boring game, it's basically kh1 again with a new story that ties it to kh2. A kh1 stripped of all its charm.
ps2 version is even more boring than the gameboy version, but at least the gameboy version has a different perspective due to its limitations, and the sprites are beautiful. ps2 version feels empty and soulless because the locations are just reused assets from kh1 in dungeon form, boxes devoid of character. it's trying to adapt something that was designed with a gameboy in mind.

I think it was originally supposed to be a downsized version of KH1 for the GBA (hence why all of the worlds are recycled), but then Nomura had the idea to make it an interquel between 1 and 2 instead.
>>
There's a thread up about KH1 and it's trying to inorganically talk shit about it. Who the fuck even does this shit? Like somebody makes a popular thread about [insert game here] and then somebody just HAS TO make a thread talking shit about it. What a pathetic loser.

It's better than Doom 3

Two things people should not loke about Doom 3: monster closets and audio logs that wont play while you're actually playing the game (like you know System Shock 2 which they tried to rip off)
>>
Prey suffers from being built around a gimmick that gets forgotten after the first hour in any meaningful terms. The further you get into the game the less the portals get used in interesting ways and the flight sections are pretty meh. I do not fell the game is better than doom 3.

>>12714965
The level design is better but the hunters suck and being an expansion it is kinda short. Does make me think I need to look into doom 3 campaign replacements to see if anyone has made remix of the base game so the levels are more in line with RoE's (and I suppose lost mission) design.
>>
>>12716905
>being an expansion it is kinda short
This is a good thing with how long and repetitive most of Doom 3 is
>>
i love the screens with games and menus you can just walk close to and interact with in Doom 3 and Prey... every other game ever has you press a button then either a fake screen pops up or you snap into position in front of the screen, it's a lost art that was cool and like Half-Life in terms of not taking control away from you.
>>
>>12716905
For Prey, all the effort and best ideas all went into the demo. Then the retail game just rode those same gimmicks for a few levels, eventually gaving up and phoned it in by the end.

To be fair that is probably the exact reason they added this little shit later on.
>>
>>12713875
The gaming mags talked about it, but it felt genuinely unreal to me until it actually came out. The "happy together" commercial was so fucking good. It was the first "crossover" game I had ever played. The idea of Mario Link and Pikachu in the same game was mind blowing to me. 4 players? A fighting game that I could ACTUALLY play? Using special moves, using items. The idea that you didnt have a "life bar" exactly. It went against so many other trends. No split screen, just everyone on the same screen. The first time someone got a star KOd (knocked off from top of screen so they fly off in the background) I remember thinking it was a reference specifically to Team Rocket from Pokemon.


I was a big pokemon kid, so playing on the Saffron City stage and just yelling out the pokemon names when they came out of the balls or the little door was awesome. It also did get me to try out games I never played. Earthbound and Metroid specifically. It was truly magic.
>>
>>12713875
Played this at the friend's house a lot where we'd gather to play Mario Kart 64 and other fighting games like Soul Calibur and Tekken.
We didn't have a concept of tiers or meta back then, just "cheap" characters.
Usually one guy would insist on picking Pikachu or "Pikacheap" and we'd try to gang up on him.
No websites really to look up things on, so we were discovering things in real time. Ness's baseball bat hit blew everyone's minds. I liked playing as Captain Falcon.
Didn't get into Melee or the later iterations quite as much. The fun arcadey-ness seemed to diminish in later entries.
I even sold my Gamecube to buy a PS2 so I could play Final Fantasy and GTA.
