what are your memories of these? did they ever convince you to purchase something? playing metroid prime at best buy made me get a gay purple lunchbox for $99. actually it was silver. but the way moving in/out of the morph ball looked and felt was just awesome. i also remember seeing mario 64 for the first time on a kiosk at babbage's. i already wanted it but playing it briefly of course just made me want it more.
>>12916543they had a shitload of demo kiosks for n64 at mcdonalds when i was a kid. Thats all i remember.
>>12918617deserved. you know he mains kirby.
>>12919407yeah i remember those. dont think i ever played them because i already had one and the controllers grossed me out
>>12919418shit like this did not help the "Nintendo is for fucking babies" Accusations for decades
>>12919418>short one is a toddler containment zoneholy based
What was the real reason N64 didn't get any of the Capcom fighting games from the 90s? Don't say cause the system was too weak, cause that's bullshit
>>12919019>compete against Mario againIf by "compete against Mario", you mean "Put up with Nintendo's insane mistreatment of its 3rd party partners because they were the only game in town", then yes. There were only four Mario games on the SNES, a launch title, a compilation game, a racing game, and a game where you don't even play as Mario released super late into the console's life after the PS1 had come out. No one was scare of losing sales to Mario Kart and All-Stars.
fighting games require a functional controller
>>12910048Music compression
>>12911738True but the games at the time were hella pretty and flashy, not to mention retaining all that at 60FPSWhich means that even if N64 can do sprites >>12910620, there's not enough ram processing to keep it close to their arcade counterpart and they sure as hell they weren't going to do Alpha 2 on the SNES again
The SNES was a more powerful console than the N64.

>SEGA is scrubbing Amy's affection for Sonic in the modern biocurrent Sonic is so gay, i kinda wished it ended when Generations dropped. (right before the awful WiiPoo era came)
>>12918645>>SEGA is scrubbing Amy's affection for Sonic in the modern bioGood. We need to get rid of female characters that are solely defined by another character. Amy was always pointless.
>>12919426>characters that are solely defined by another character
If you were actually alive in the 90s, these were the coolest characters in retro gaming

>>12919384This is not a Guilty Gay topic.
>>12915612If Nintendo of Weimarica wasn't so gay, we'd have a Deep Water equivalent for Nintendo since the early 90
>>12917492People think 3D era MK flopped because there was no movie, no cartoons, and overall they had zero cultural impact. No one knows the characters and the games weren't talked about much. It's like people today thinking MK1 was a flop because there are no tournaments, no interaction between MK fans and the rest of the FGC, no one outside of MK fans knows anything about the characters or lore, you don't see much in the way of fan art and fan content, and NRS has financial problems due to the WB situation. But it sold more than Street Fighter 6.
Why is it impossible to find a complete 1998 ISO for HL1? I dont want to bother with steamshit. i just want one with the music included so I can play the game the way it was intended
>>12915982iso is not the standard format used for CDs with multiple tracks. a proper rip with the music included won't be an iso file. you can't find a complete iso because you can't make one.
>>12915982I still has my physical boxed copy from forever ago... how do you not own this, I'm pretty sure there's still people/places that will press the og disk image new.
>>12917318I've owned it for years, I didn't even know it had audio tracks, its not like quake where you get music
>>12919389the music is scripted to play at certain points, like when you first get the HEV suit, or when you find the zombie scientist in the spooky dark office shortly after the resonance cascade.it's not like id games where a certain song just plays as background music for the entire map.

>bait title>/vr/ bites like a tub full of piranha
its so much better than the shitty psp demake its unreal. possibly the best looking and sounding game on the entire console. Having the full blown skill system, PAs, all the recruitable characters, fully voiced battles on a snes cart is ridiculous. Battle system is spammy like star ocean 2 but satisfying. Enormous 30 floor post game dungeon. For some reason this will be a hot take but to me this is way more fun than ToP, too. protip: the game locks you into using ratix but there's a party member swap code I found to get around that and use whatever party comp/leader you like, which fixes the only real issue the game had. play star ocean on SNES, its an actual hidden gem. I think the incredible downgrade of a remake has unfairly ruined its reputation
>>12911770I got excited about it too, then after the intro it became really generically boring.
>>12913428Reads like my life. Guess which one.
>>12911770Star Ocean is on the GBC and it blows shit as Pokemon out of the water, from sheer detail, gameplay depth, game feel, and the like.
>>12918293Is this actually good? Was thinking of picking it up.
>>12918442Hell yes. Although the level up system is very foreign to most JRPGs so i hope it's not an issue

>>12913392It was fun but the fucking game deleted my save after 15 hours and now i think it fucking sucks
>>12914651No clue what that means. >>12915213I'm describing a better context for the game's events that allows killing Richter to be the proper conclusion so that the inverted castle can go fuck itself.
>>12918813>I'm describing a better context for the game's events that allows killing Richter to be the proper conclusion so that the inverted castle can go fuck itself.Without the inverted castle the game would be too short, there would be very few enemies and also very few bosses.
After beating Richter I was like...that's it?

>game is complete AIDS as Trevor (bullshit difficulty added to combat rentals)>playing as other characters is gay and I don't want to do itWorst Castlevania by far. So many shit sections. Everyone just uses the bat to skip half the game it's so shitty. Or they play the easier Japanese version as a cope.
>>12916846i used blue balls for all three phases. phase 1 whenever he pops up you can blast him with blue balls. and phase 3 you just dodge the lasers and pray the balls hit his face
>>12906893Japanese version is betterAmerican 3 is too hard. I "beat" it 4 times for the PSN trophies and even with the Anniversary Collection's savestates it pisses me off a lot, some levels or corridors are just so unfun it becomes a lot of "really?" and "ok (exasporated)"but the aesthetics and music are truly some of the best on the system so enjoy it via the japanese version which has tons of translations by now, but also is even included in the aforementioned Anniversary Collection under the Japanese section. Also the music is better in the Japanese version. Americans got a botched version
>>12917104>Now Ninja Gaiden 3 US on the other hand... I still haven't beaten that one.Use the 99 continue code. The game is okay up until the last level. I'd probably never have finished it if they didn't let you fight the boss in the 3 different forms one at a time if you die.
>>12906893why does moving as a slow moving man with a bitch ass whip that barely reaches anything feel so fuckin badass, I dont even pick other characters because they can never compare to whip man
>>12919248>>12918492NG3 is easier than 1 and 2 even with limited continues. Because there is very little shit that spawns in your face that you don't have time to see come, it happens once in the entire game. The only difference is that NG3 forces the player to get good against bosses, not that they are particularly hard.
Why does Mario Sunshine catch so much heat compared to other 3D Mario's? It's the only one that really feels like a proper sequel to 64. Sure, I know the game can be difficult at times (I was filtered by that sand bird stage as a kid) but isn't it good when a game challenges you? Especially back when you were a kid and only really got a handful of new games per year, the longer a game lasted the better. I remember being so disappointed when I got some games and cleared them in an afternoon because they posted no challenge whatsoever.
So glad UK banned porn, hope they round you faggots up and throw you in the slammer.
>>12918232I'm not British
>>12918230The AGP rosafags are even worse, I think only daisyfags hold onto a sense of masculinity with their affinity for their tomboy queen.
>>12918154Artificial Difficulty is more like Mario 64 camera fucking you in the ass for no reason on rainbow carpet. Sunshine doesn't really have much artificial difficulty except the Pachinko level which seriously just fucking sucks cock. The rest of the hard parts are just normal videogame difficulty
>>12916090Post real porn next time.
One of my favorite genres is third person shooters or third person action/adventure games. Anything like:>The Suffering/The Suffering 2>Freedom Fighters>Advent Rising>MDK I and 2>BloodRayne 1 and 2Suggestions for games I may have missed in this style?
>>12913320Why would you lose points for killed guys during the torture scenes?
Urban Chaos, but the controls are mediocre from what I rememberTrue Crime, both are abandonware
>>12907891>>Advent RisingRemember when this was supposed to be the Halo Killer?>Move over, Chief
>>12908954Can't wait for S-E to dig this game up it's grave and rework the gameplay a little so it feels like an ARPG version of Sin & Punishment
>>12907891Play Syphon Filter games (emu or recomps). They are the best 3rd person shooters.Also Max Payne, Second Sight, 25 to life, 007 games are good
How does it compare to the Ghostbuster games on other systems? The NES one is pretty infamous but did Sega do any better?
>>12918731It's a great game made by sega themselves. All of Sega's licensed games are excellent.
>>12918747>made by sega themselvesand Compile. They made a great duo.
This game fucking sucks. The graphics are ok but the controls are terrible and the constant unavoidable bombardment you receive is extremely annoying. The music (which I’ve actually heard people highlight as a standout) is TV movie of the week tier and just mediocre. Half the weapons and upgrades are useless. The story is stupid and the FMV cutscenes almost unwatchable which I guess goes without saying for the period. Incredibly difficult and not in a fair way at all. As more of a Saturn fan the graphics are actually quite impressive which might be a sad admission but the really isn’t much on the Saturn that looks comparable. But overall this game kind of sucks.
Wow no one cares about this game at all, huh?
it's a launch title, you take what you get
I loved it as a kid but I never figured out how to beat the final boss.
>>12919057Yeah, the way that last boss is setup is 100% bullshit. At no point in the game are you expected to know how to do that, and if you bothered to read the manual and try it out, you would find it's basically a "Die instantly" button combo. My friend and I were convinced the game had no good ending, and you just had to try and see what bad ending you would get. Reminds me of some of the early Rare NES games, that had some bullshit at the end of the game to filter people out, like the last two bosses in Cobra Triangle or final boss of Snake Rattle N Roll.
