I want the truth about Earth Defense Force
>>12433545How were these games? I started with EDF2017 and have been hooked on the series ever since.
>>124354721 is pretty easy. I've only played the Vita version of 2, but it's fun. I imagine the original is a bit rough, though. Tactics was pretty easy as well.
>Japanese gameSay no more, it's peak
>>12434086that is plain EDF.this thread is about THE EDF.
>>12435506Tactics sucked
Thoughts on the 90s Hanna-Barbera revival and its Taito video games?
>>12436067>the Two Stupid Dogs creatorsDidn't mean to type plural, just meant Donovan Cook.Other relevant question and answer from the link:>What did you do as an assistant director at Spumco?>Spumco was a great place. They were very hands on. They did what's called character layouts. Once the storyboards were done you would make story reel, or what people now call an animatic, to time out with the storyboard and the dialogue tracks. And then instead of immediately shipping it out overseas they would do character layouts, where alot of really talented artists would do, not all the key poses you would use if you were to animate, but, say, if you were going to have a scene you were going to animate with it was going to have maybe twelve key poses, in the character layout you would probably do maybe four or five of those, the really, really key ones. And so as an assistant director I helped work with the directors in timing some of the character layouts and if something wasn't working I would do some fixes to it. So I was there as a second hand to some of the directors, dealing with timing and character poses and things of that nature.
>>12426851The last level of Dino Rock is brutal too. There's this rock that chases you and I couldn't figure out the solution until I looked it up on YouTube
>>12435745Yup the Taito games. Also the Mega Drive one
>>12426832The genesis Flintstones game is one of my favorites for the system.
>>12435816>And Disney had its own response too, I forgot the name but it was mostly lost media for decades until a few years ago when some episodes were found. It didn't succeed that muchI think that was Schnookums & Meat, which only got 13 episodes. They were as shameless an R&S knockoff as it got, but the supporting features Pith Possum and Tex Tinstar were generally better-received.
Is it better for a game to be influential, or for a game to be good?
>>12434956Often they go hand in hand, but it depends on your aims. If you want more games similar to the game you played, it's better for it to be influential. (arguably Sonic would have never existed without Mario)But, if you're just a dude playing a game alone then neither probably matters.
>>12435270>What's an example of a game that's influential but not good?Hydlide
>>12435270You'd have to look at early ones, but within their frame of reference they were all "good". Are you still up for some Colossal Cave Adventure or Zork? Most retrogamers aren't going to give those a legitimate shot without a guide, let alone non-retrogamers.Heiankyo Alien is considered the grandpa of various early maze and dig games (Even Lode Runner gets cited, but I can't find that interview) which in turn have their own debateable spawns, even was popular in Japanese arcades. Pac-Man ran with the idea and imo wisely turned it into the evade/attack format with which it ate its lunch and stole its identity. I generally enjoy playing most versions (aside from terribly slow type-in ones), but Pac-man is definitely more suited to arcades. I'd say it's an average game at best.Staying in Japan, there's 1 primordial PC developer (Game Kyōjin) who made clones/ports of arcade games which were generally acceptable (not good) and obviously not original. That phase of this dev's work get cited by a few important devs as their inspiration to do their own coding and they in turn made some influential stuff. This is more of a personal influence thing than 1 specific product though.>>12436440This fits as well. Wouldn't call it bad at the time, but it's definitely not good.
>>12435270Radar Scope bombed so hard they needed a conversion to save NoA which allowed Donkey Kong to be made. I'd say that's a pretty influential failure.
>>12434956All influential games are good or were good at the time it was released but stopped being well-regarded due to ‘Seinfeld isn’t funny’ reasons. No shit the original Super Mario Bros. isn’t that fun when you already played 4th gen+ platformers.

I shoot think that WarCraft III is the greatest game of all time. So say something nice about this game. When did you first play Warcraft? At what point did you realize you were playing a masterpiece? What's your favorite race? Favorite unit? Most hated unit? Feel free to share whatever's on your mind about this masterpiece.
I LOVE the rapidly decaying corpses of enemies you killed. Is there any other game where corpses actively decompose?I remember playing it as a child in an internet cafe and it blew my wee mind.

>>12435159it's really nice being able to use most shaders for retro stuff (royale and the like don't work). I mainly play ps1 and gba on my flip2 and probably snes/genesis a close second along with some saturn, neo geo and android games.Honestly seems like I barely play ps2/gc/dreamcast/n64. But getting psx looking amazing (5x resolution, ntsc color filter, good crt+scanlines shader) makes me enjoy it so much more.
>>12436543given up on the diamond buttons eh?

How do you start with Medabots?
>>12429196>How do you start with Medabots?Not with AX that's for sure. I own the cart, tried playing it on GBA and couldn't make sense of the combat.The main games are strategy RPGs with a sort of ATB instead of back and forth turns. You can build a team for speed and attack a bunch of times before your enemy has a chance to do anything, you could also build 1 tank and 2 guard bots to keep the tank alive, there's a lot of freedom in that sense.Just don't start with spinoffs.

re0 or remake
>>12431914The inclusion of Dreamcast's comtemporary consoles are fair. A mistake was made when this board used the the same criteria for consoles and pc engines though.
