in the top 3 2d platformers ever, top 3 sega genesis games. still underappreciated in 2024
>>11418583That's not what defines a cinematic platformer. Rain World is pure gameplay, and it's still a cinematic platformer. The game focus is on more realistic or laboured movement against the backdrop of beautiful, intricate backgrounds. The controls and control scheme tend to be something that you grapple with, and actions aren't always instant.
>>11417981>top 3 sega genesis gamesThe fact that it's a port of an Amiga game must fill everyone here's brains with confusion and anger.
>>11427014you fucking idiot, read the thread: it’s not a port, the sega genesis version was the original game. amiga is a port that happened to come out first>>11423529
>>11417981>top 3 sega genesis gamesand its merely in the top 100 for snes
>>11427039snes version is not as good as sega genesis version. also, shes doesn’t even have 100 good games. neither does genesis
Why didn't Konami release any Shmups for the Mega Drive? Were they stupid?
>>11425217Why was this so common? At this age (3rd or 4th grade) every kid I knew had divorcing parents and they all got Model 2s with Sonic 2.
Seriously? Gradius pales in comparison to other genesis and turbografx shoot em ups. They likely knew they were out of their league.
>>11425126>>11425105TG-16's library of shump flops is why.They had a stigma of being an old style game
>>11425602Shmups were not over in 92, well not in Japan, they were not longer the top draws of the arcade but it was common for shmups to still be monthly top earners.
>>11425629pc engine continued to get shooters after 93, but it was a very very small percentage of new pce gamesand the late gen pce shooters were "quirky" stuff like ai cho aniki, space invaders the original game, and steam hearts>makes me wonder how it would handle earthworm jimmaybe not some of the scrolling and the resolution would be smaller but it could do an okay jobthe pce was never pushed as hard as the snes or genesis except really a handful of games>>11425246i stand corrected, but pce got a much better port of forgotten worlds later on. the only issue is lack of 2 player but you can still enable a cheat code where 2nd player controls the satellite. pce also got side arms and 2 194x games
few games earn the title of 'soulful' but this is one of them.

Snow Bros.1 Credit.
>>11426024Will add that its subtitle, "With New Elves", might be the best video game subtitle ever.
>>11420750Anyone played the new Snow Bros game that just came out?
>>11425047>Not in hard modeHow gay can you be?
>>11420846lol>>11420948I prefer Snow Bros and Wardner to everything else they did.

I am not enjoying this nearly as much as I thought.I know it's a pretty popular one, so I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about it
>checks wiki>released in 2004Yeah I suppose it's passed due that we learn that this universally beloved game is in fact actually bad.
>>11418694It's good for a playthrough, but easily the most tedious Zelda to 100%>Figurine RNG>Thanks to Vaati's forms being figurines there's one post-game heart piece meaning you don't get that full inventory satisfaction while facing the final boss for the first time>When Tingle says you have one Kinstone fusion left and there's NPCs with potential fusions scattered literally all over the map, certain NPCs also change to not wanting to fuse anymore or want to fuse after certain points in the game
>>11424652And don't forget that the Light Arrows can be permanently missed if you don't help the sick man get rid of the Rupee Wraith in time.
>>11424652>>Thanks to Vaati's forms being figurines there's one post-game heart piece meaning you don't get that full inventory satisfaction while facing the final boss for the first timeeven if that weren't the case, you still wouldn't be able to do that because of the mirror shield. who thought making that post game exclusive but nothing else was a good idea? it's not even that useful, it barely reflects anything.
>>11418694Hated it.It looks absolutely gorgeous in screenshots but playing it was a mess. It felt like a chinese bootleg with all the re-use of stuff from previous games.
Which was the better multiplayer experience and why?
>>11426602>syrupylol
>>11426560I never liked duels, so it's UT for me
>>11426560I played a lot of mp Q3A on the Dreamcast and UT on PC lan parties. Both were great multiplayer games.
>>11426560UT had superior bot AI, so I tend to go back to that more for solo play.
>>11426560UT, better AI and team modes as well. I liked the bot banter >oh I'm sorry, did I blow your head apart?
Were you too poor to ask for a video game or console for Christmas/birthdays? Were your friends super rich and had every console while you was only dreaming of have your own one day? Were you coming to the game store just to glare at those cool cartridges and accessories with no money in pockets? What did you do to compensate that gaming urge?I never had sixth gen consoles as a kid, so I watched TV shows reviewing games on these systems. Pic related was kinda cringy, but games shown often looked cool. I also bought magazines which included demos and shareware games and played them over and over.
>>11425812This is what we had in Canada back in the day. Used to watch it all the time.
>>11426669You were hardcore if you stayed up late to watch Gamerz with PJ Phil
>>11426583>He then goes on to say how hard he worked to make gaming a more inclusive place instead of just for “white boys”Hilarious, when he was basically a 2000s dudebro on X-Play.>I love playing with my Seaman!
It was never a problem. Even being a poorfag, you could afford a current gen system every year, as long as it wasnt on launch. Used games and systems were everywhere and anything outdated was cheap as fuck. PC games constantly got budget releases you could pick up in places like pharmacies and super markets, people traded games, you had game bundles included with hardware. Unless you were buying everything on launch day, it was very cheap.
Could have been worse
Well this not what I expected, I thought it would be another run and gun shooter like Doom or first Dark Forces but it feels much closer to a tactical shooter because you can get killed so quickly. The presentation is fantastic though, great music and animated cutscenes. Which other FPS before Rainbow Six and Delta Force had gameplay like this?
>>11426965Outlaws is virtually unique.
>>11426965It's good although the level design is weak, amazing art design though.
Sometimes retro games just have the slightest little errors that only a true autist would notice. What are your favorite examples?
>>11407241RE2 is absolutely not short on ammo.
>>11411295Sure it is. It's a diminutive of Bames.
>>11404412Wouldn't it have just been easier to paint the white logo of the pants black rather than have to digitally go in and remove it from every sprite?
There's a pixel of colour missing in this shot of the simpsons arcade game.
>>11413243I kind of like that better. It's cute.
How does /vr/ feel about the Dot Hack series?
>>11426816I like to think he's a man of many talents for catching criminals, no matter how absurd it contrasts with his personality.
>>11423897> aesthetically they capture a particular late 90s/y2k anime vibe that I really like.More anime for this feel? Games and shows.
>>11424539>>11424549He's right though. 6th gen is the beginning of the end
>>11426816Yes and it’s based

What are some /vr/ vidya myths?Pretty much anything always seemed possible as a kid, probably because video games seemed more limitless then.I remember hearing that there was a hamster in sarge's heroes you could get to fight for you in multi-player. Obviously not true but at the time seemed like it might be legit.Also heard about a pencil gun in the world is not enough and being able to go up into vents. Never had it only had goldeneye so couldn't confirm
>>114265902my brother lied to me and told me there were 2 levels on these 2 islands which would connect to the 2 pieces of land sticking out over the icebergs. in hindsight this would make some sense as it would boost the total level complete count from 96 to an perfect 100 on the title screen. but this also doesnt work as the only time there were any dead end levels in any mario game was in land 2.
>>11426590Here is a screenshot from that same demo, using my own memory editing tricks. Glass is there.I think the gameshark code you used broke it for some reasons
>>11426640that wasnt my screenshot i typed resident evil 2 broken window main hall in google. its also broken from every angle if i remember. even from first floor
>>11423172Nobody mentioned the cow level on Diablo 1 yet?
>>11423172>The kid who beat every game before us told me the final boss of FFVIII was a man in a suit that wore a turtle shell around him>My brother telling me that after defeating Bowser in the final level, he gets up and takes off his own skin...revealing it to be a costume and it was just Luigi fucking with Mario>This one website that had a shitload of different cheats that were all fake. A couple of them told the player to do a L, R, R, prompt for when either Luigi or Ness win and their figure is dropped on the table. If done right, Luigi would get up and throw a fireball at the camera and then you would unlock a new page and 12 characters. Same for Ness and he throws a PK Fire at the camera. The list included characters like Peach, Wario, Ganondorf, Sonic, Cloud, and even Goku depending on which one you unlocked. You hard to do it on Hard with one life though IIRC. The guy said it was really real in the same posting and even invited the reader to come over to his house to show you.>My friend's birthday party and two of his friends were bitching at each other early GameFAQs-style in real life over incorrect ways to unlock Aeris after death and Zack.
I fucking love early 2000s gaming so much it's unreal

>>11426723step on me the supreme waifu
>>11426768based but I like Ivy from SC, a dominatrix with a whip. doing it better.
>>11426768>>11426723>in T3, nina is possessed/brainwashed by ogre>starts wearing that leopard print bimbo thingi kind of like the idea of the ancient aztec god monster thing's interests are kicking the shit out of people and making girls dress like sluts. granted nina was doing that before the brainwashing, but look, she was naked when she got brainwashed. and under ogre's will, she chose to wear that and it's still funny to me.

post atmospheric (and/or liminal) art that invokes feelings of either blissfull childhood rememberance or dark, depressed nostalgia
>>11421554Can you define liminal?
>>11426379Yes it's a space meant to accommodate human beings in transit but empty of their presence in a highly noticeable and slightly disconcerting way. Vacant airports, abandoned malls and deserted children's play areas are particularly liminal.
