Why were there so many Moai in retro games?
This is one of the earliest examples of moai in games, a 3d shooter from 1983 released by Jaleco.
>>12078272Jalekino does it again
>>12076579Roman tastes were really garish by modern standards. Look at any description of a rich Roman feast or gladiator games over a famous holiday and you get the sense they were into some pretty sick shit. Imagine eating dormice unironically.
>>12075675There was a trend of it in Japanese New Age shit relating to a myth that the Japanese people came from Lemuria (basically Jap Atlantis)
>>12075846>Because in the 60s, 70s and 80s you had to go to a museum to amuse yourself, and this resulted in a culture that was more aware of interesting things in the world you could put in your game.ding ding ding correctest 4chan response of 2025 goes to
GachagaChamp is genuinely the greatest arcade game of all time
>gachaslopI'll pass
>>12077250How do you know it's of all time and not just some of it? :OWould this even make the list of arcade games you should play before you're killed? :-)
Gachami my beloved
>>12078006yes i know its the bestalso im better than you
Saw this mentioned, bought the Divinity Anthology since it's on sale on Steam for dirt cheap. What am I in for? Someone said it has game breaking bugs, how bad is it?
>>12076543They're not game-breaking, but you have to avoid getting some specific skills, because they don't work. The digital edition is an older build that the last CD edition where they got fixed.
>>12076543I once get stuck out of bounds in a map and had to hex edit my save to move myself back in.
Any arpg that is not a meat grinder, already is a superior game
>>12076570>Diablo with more RPG elements>>12076543it's Ultima 7 but better. but no party members. at least for the first Divinity game. 2nd Divinity has a stupid AI Deathknight following you around, which actually makes the game harder.i forgot what's the 3rd one.>>12076592some skills/spells are OP if that's "game-breaking".>>12076570>atmosit's got funny dadjokes and voice acting sometimes.
>>12076543Excellent game. Save often though. I played this weekend for like an hour then died and lost all my progress. Also if you are going to try Divinity 2 then be sure to use the community patch. The vanilla game has bizarre issue with frames. You'll be running at 60fps but ground moves at like 10fps. This patch fixes all that and other stuttering issues
>Initiates another random encounter right after you finish one, without you even moving an inchkek, more like Culture BASED am I right?
>not super ninja brotherswhy
>>12078225Everything about this series feels like a Chinese bootleg.
>>12078225Culture Brain is grade A nipslop
Don't forget to jot down your five line password to continue your game. Because the technology for battery saves didn't exist back then.
Mega Man X 1-4 is the greatest retro action series >But classi-Classic is platformer not action
>>12077291You must be a huge Sonic fan
>>12077347no, sonic's a shit platformer unless you're a speedrun autist. I like being able to see what I'm running towards. 3D sonic is even worse.
>>12077357>Slow reflexesZoomers issue
>>12077145>Genre: Horizontal Scroll Action
Classic MM is super-fightingMegaman is a super-fighting robot
What Classic Mega Man Robot Master is the toughest to beat for (you) without exploiting his vulnerability?
>>12073920The toughest thing is NOT beating off to Roll.Anyway:>Elec ManErratic behaviour and absurd stats. Almost every single Robot Master in Mega Man 1 hits for 4 damage and takes 2-3 in return but this chaotic ass deals 10 and takes only 1 for no reason. Ice Man is similar but his pattern is manageable.>Gemini Man6 damage on contact and takes 28 hits to be defeated. I despise his pattern - I can never get the rhythm going so I get shot from behind.>Needle ManSpams you to death with fast, random attacks while eating 28 bullets before dying. Extremely annoying but after a few battles you can actually get into the proper rhythm with him.>Shadow ManLiterally impossible to dodge due to random behaviour. Those who did him hitless got lucky. This is the worst boss in the series to me.>Solar ManCan't hit him half the time because he jumps around all the time and blocks bullets with his stupid solar ball. Also spams screen-wide attacks and you have to dodge on uneven ground. Hate this guy.
>>12077382nope, but there is a one time healing option for mega man with eddie
>>12077456needle man is such a fun fight once you get it down. so many tough mm3 bosses. you could probably play that game for months trying to master everything.
>>12074793You can beat Fire Man if you just spam the buster and stand still. You can out damage a lot of MM1's bosses this way
>>12075805this is hard.>>12075807lol.>>12075803this requires good timing i guess.
Who is truly the best fighting game protagonist
>>12075049why's the tekken guy on there twice
>>12075537
>>12075049Terry is the coolest, Ryu is the most iconic, even though he's got a "less exciting" stoic and disciplined martial artist personality. Haohmaru gets an honorable mention.
>>12078203Terry is a dweeb
>>12078224Are you ok?
TAKE YER DAMN CLOTHES AWF
>>12076289i recognise that joke/event/video and it reminds me of that time i saw it what a time that was and we laugh
What did he mean by that?
when gaijins try into visual novels
lol
"that" friend who had obscure games from Japan...
Original Naruto is so fucking good
>>12077817Absolutely mogged by bleach
>>12077457It is in those shared interests which brought us all together after all.
>>12077457>that friend who played the witcher instead of oblivion
>>12077457Obscure?>>12077817Not really.>>12077818Low bar.
These Mario 64 gashapon toys are even crappier looking than I remember.
>>12068694>properly centered gumball eyesdoctored image
>>12073598Huh, I've never seen that smaller version. I did buy Squall, Zell, Rinoa and Seifer mini figures years ago, but they didn't have keychains on them.
Always wanted one of these
>>12068124This is cool
>>12061721I had this one and a smaller version. My parents would laugh at how he looked and it pissed me off as a kid. DONT LAUGH AT MARIO
Why does no one ever talk about this one?
>>12075953Jet Force was always my favorite multiplayer game for when I visited my friend's house.
>>12075953>backtracking>furry white things collect-a-thon>controls are unpalatable by today's standards and very difficult to convert to any non-n64 controller>performance is meh>some of the mini-game stuff sucks.
>>12075953>another faux anime n64 game by Europeans>worse backtracking than tooie>why does nobody talk about this??
>>12077435People love to bend over backwards to suck Rare's dick. Retreading every level to find tribals goes contrary to being a 3rd person shooter. Slows a genre that is a bit more fast paced and slams the breaks on it. Goldeneye doesn't have this problem, Jet Force Gemini does.
The ammo capacity upgrades not being shared for all characters, or at least locked to a character, is the worst part of the game. There was no way I was beating Mizar with like 15 Tri-Rockets or whatever pathetic amount I had on Juno.
Post your favorite cover/promo art
Is this game still enjoyable if I'm almost 40 and have no one to play it with co-op?
>>12076850Yes but him taking 100 health was a much bigger dealmin the arcade wherr your health ticked down at all times to force you to feed it coins.
>>12076860Thats really a small minority of games and you cant blame MAME for arcade games having wildly different infaatructure between companies and boards
>>12072912most autistic post I’ve seen today
>>12077050>Red Dwarf
>>12072473No, after 35-36 it no longer provides entertainment. 37.5 in edge cases
I love Ocarina of Time but the text speed is too slow :(
>>12073840Just play it in Japanese, that's what the speedtrannies do to avoid the slow text

Each console lifecycle can roughly be divided into 3 era of more or less 2 years1st generation :more primitive graphics with simplistic and arcade style games2nd generation :the classic era where most of the most iconic games came from with better graphics and more complexe mechanics3rd generation :the end cycle of a consoleArguably the more polished games but also less memorable than the classic eraConsole graphics push to it's absolute limite
>>12077974These games are much more simplistic and less iconic than their sequels on the same machineMGS 3 is more iconic,complexe and technically impressive DMC3 ,San Andreas ,SOTC the sameFF10 is more iconic i'll give you that but it's an exception
>>12078050Talk about grasping at straws.
>>12078025Enuff to get lv 200 pso v2 character and thatsit
