Distinguished /cbg/ veterans, mayors, councilmen, builders, and enthusiasts, I invite you today to post cities.

SimCity 4 modding is in a renaissance despite both Simtropolis and the LEX going offline/data issues. The "sc4pac" mod manager is next level. DLL mods bringing long needed quality of life and new features to a 23 year old game.

Why wasn't there more hate against Final Fantasy? They took a serious RPG art form and just added lolanimeshit to it. RPG fans should have been furious that they trivialized it this badly.

It was an extremely faithful AD&D game on a console, in fact the only one. The actual TSR licensed console ganes were all horrible slop. FF stuck closer to first edition rules and progression than dragonlance and all the other console games.
Only PC had decent D&D games at this point, and FF1 had a far larger beastiary than any of them. It was unexpectedly excellent.
>>
>>12762968
No, it had nothing to do with D&D outside of blatantly copying it's bestiary. Game is autistic grind fest that is not only encouraging but forcing on the player farming monsters that are below party level. Also it's fucking bugged and half of spells do nothing, easiest way to win at this game is to stack up party of four fucking warriors, farm best eq and stack yourself up with healing items. just keep pressing A button in all fights. There is no strategy in combat, game is dogshit, was dogshit back than too but it got popular becuase of it's novelty and exploitation of autists. Pure jrpg's are idle games.

The entire spell library too, and stuff like monks and fighters gaining more attacks per round as they level up. All the weird spell limitations (fix hitpoint limit on power word kill, etc) and some being single target, some being wide area. Same as how many spells per level you could cast before resting, they copied that directly from players handbook.


Just like D&D, after level 7 or so you can unequip your monks melee weapon and go open hand for the rest of the game. That was 100% TSR.
The knight was a paladin, with low level cleric spells.
Red mage was the classic fighter/magic user/cleric multiclass which had only lower level spells of each but could still use decent armor and swords.

First edition had modules based on single environments (an ice cave, a volcano adventure, etc) which FF1 followed somewhat. For example in D&D module G2 was an ice cavern full of front giants, winter wolves, ogres, ogre mages, white dragons and even a remoraz (polar worm). The frost cave in FF1 has these exact enemies.

tl;dr
It wasnt just copying the monster manual. The very core of early D&D was what FF1 was built on faithfully.

While it does have an incredibly extensive custom character creation, I would first do a playthrough of both the base game and expansion with the built-in heroes since they're the narrative focus and the missions were designed around their use.

you did. The game had a huge mod community right after launch with skin editing handholding for casuals to make their custom heroes, or put in their favorite marvel/DC.
They have kept that mod community alive for years.

This, Smash Bros was always a "buy our newest games look at the references from our newest games" franchise.
The only exception filled with soul is the selection of trophies for Melee, instead of being "AAA WE RIPPED THIS 3D MODEL FROM THE LATEST WII/GAMECUBE GAME LOOK BUY THAT GAME" like Brawl and 4, it's "Here are both fan favorite and obscure characters from past games now in never seen before 3d made from scratch"
Melee trophies are so fucking soul because you know they are not an advertising for 3D hot rally, they just put the car there out of soul

The bus was definitively the bottleneck there. It had a more powerful CPU, more and faster RAM, yet a weak as fuck bus that could be saturated by just a few textures.

It really needed to use SDRam (16MB main, 8MB video, quad channel, 64-Bit bus, 150Mhz, 600MBs) instead of RDRam and have a dedicated 32 channel ADPCM sound chip (with 4MB of ram) to free up resources.

Macross 7 has so many glaring issues, many of which have been brought up in /m/ time and time again. However, it has so much energy and emotion to it that I can't help but consider it possibly the strongest Macross. That's obviously a subjective opinion, but I feel many share it. Japan loves the fuck out of it for a reason.

it's time to admit that San Andreas is the best PS2 game in terms of quality and fun in addition to being the best-selling game for the system.

it was an achievement

I would't call souls-like games mechanically easy, but in fact they are much easier than NES side-scrollers. Games in general got easier, souls-like games are hardest sub-genre of action games in current times just like NES side-scrollers were back then.
