>>12641968This board’s population is so low that there’s probably a handful of schizos playing multiple 'characters' on a daily basis.
My dream setup lmao
>>12642908I swear to god that was not the ratio of the image when I made it
>>12642908you're 13, you don't have any certifications.
is it me or is this game a disappointment? I just got done beating Dark Forces, hard mode, no saves. It was great. Went to this game, it's a fucking clunky mess with awful character physics. Its like the game was meant to be in third person but you can't enable the crosshair in third person mode and aiming sucks. In first person camera your guns shoot just below where your actual crosshair is. Your fucking character moves 2 times faster going forward than sideways and theres this awful prolonged momentum to everything that makes the game feel unresponsive.
>>12638589>The verticality, the secrets, non-overpowered lightsaber, the emergent force alignment system, the FMVsAll things they abandoned in the sequels which would’ve greatly improved those games past what they already achieve. JK2 with DF2 level design and puzzles plus a light/dark side choice would’ve been legendary. And I don’t get all the love for Academy except that I gather it was most people’s first Jedi knight game or they loved multiplayer. IMO just give me a MotS style expansion for jk2 and sacrifice Academy.

Toy Story 2 was one of the best platformers of its time. Did anyone play the Atlantis game?

>>12633454This may come as a shock but a game doesn't need to be a huge challenge to be fun.

>>12642364Other dungeons have a lot more walls to bomb, keeping track of every wall you've bombed is a pain in the ass, running out of bombs mid-dungeon is a nightmare because you have to completely reset the dungeon and all bombed walls reset, and bombing every wall of every dungeon is just not particularly fun or interesting unless you are highly autistic (which you clearly are)
>>12642732>Other dungeons have a lot more walls to bomb,Only a couple. Level-7 is the main one. Maybe level-9.Many have less.>running out of bombs mid-dungeon is a nightmare because you have to completely reset the dungeon and all bombed walls reset,This is simply incorrect, you must be confused thinking of a completely different game.>>12642720I like talking about game design. The point isn't to shit on alttp the point is to highlight implications, consequences and tradeoffs of its overworld design and layout.

I bought a PC-98, what games should I play?

>>12642756Oh nvm, turns out this was a board game and you could reach this scene pretty quickly.
What the FUCK were they thinking?
For me it's the fucking light switch puzzle in 2 next to the projection room. You can't even tell that these things can be interacted with and I think you're supposed to do a certain of events before it becomes possible but every time I have to talk to the NPCs and get the same dialogue pieces three times before the switches decide to become interactable
>>12642137I always enjoyed this tune.Sometimes I would play the game just to leave it on as background music while I'm doing something else in the house.
>>12641208so is this actually good or just rollsloppers pretending its good like kings field
>>12642219No rolling or combat really. It's more of an adventure game. Like a point and click from first person. And yes it's good if you can get past the controls and BS casino stuff.
>>12641208>>12642147I felt quite mystic helping my gf to get through the roulette. I said I was doing numerology but I was just relating numbers to squad numbers in footy. It somehow worked great
I despise open world "Wide as the ocean deep as a puddle" games. Instead I love what I call microcosm games, but maybe you could call them snowglobe games or pocket world games; A small geographic space that contains a fully functional society, where density replaces scaleThe 4 big examples:Majora's MaskMegaman LegendsShenmueTrails from ZeroIn each of these games you explore a small town that is full of stuff, charming characters, and interactive density. The sounding areas compliment the central hub and add depth to the central hub. These kinds of games feel truly alive. It's the kind of game I'd like to make some day. Can you recommend me some other games like this?
>>12639542Pokemon Legends Z-A tried this and everyone fucking hated it.
>>12641917People who still play modern pokemon games don't know what they want
>>12641917Legends ZA is wide as a puddle and deep as a puddle. Arceus handled its open world better, even if that's not saying much.
>>12639542what immediately springs to mind is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, it really is exceptional with the way it carves out unique spaces, it does so much with so little, every street and room feels like it's there for a purpose and the characters are some of the best I've seen in any game when it comes to writing and voice acting CRPGs might be a good fit; Fallout, Planescape, Arcanum all have highly detailed worlds with interesting characters and places that you often revisitmaybe an odd pick but Psychonauts might feel similar, the camp definitely has the hub with all the characters and stuff Deus Ex and other immersive sims maybe, since they tend to go for highly interactive and detailed smaller environments maybe some JRPGs like EarthBound, and maybe Chulip idk. this kind of thing feels surprisingly uncommon now that I think about it
>>12641917that's just a shit game for 500 other reasons.
Looking for comfy jarpigs but not the big ones, since I've already played most of those, but rather smaller lesser known ones

>>12642250No, the worse ones are.

I never realized beamos had teeth on them. Science has gone too far with these high definition ports of N64 games.
>>12641969Nope, those are claws. If you examine the design closely, the ooccoo have clearly become parasitic creatures using cuccoos for bodies, headcrab style. It's a grim evolution of the symbiosis between skyloftians and their loftwings.
>>12641969Obviously a chicken would have breasts.
>>12641930>>12641939>>12641954You guys didn't notice? I'd always stare are things and try to zoom in so I eventually realized those were teeth and a mouth.
fucking noticers, ruining everything.
That just gets to show it's a bad design if nobody even noticed what it was. I always thought it was some kind of robotic turret.

>Metal Slug is set under a world government >Morden is trying to overthrow itIs he really the bad guy? The civilians in the opening mission to 2 seem like they're having a good time until the heroes show up.
>>12641649Morden's only doing it out of spite because the government accidentally killed his son due to faulty intel.
>>12641649Fine, you let a Canuck take over, but he'd be a terrible dictator. He'd just let the aliens in to rape you.
It’s the best Zelda game.
>>12633060he's got some sugar in there
>>12633045Best idea for a zelda game but you're on rails for half the game. Could've been Nintendo's answer to Elite or Tai-pan.
>>12634112wdhmbt
It's a cool game but also disappointing.I've recently beaten it for the first time, on my 3rd started playthrough because I played it on my spider home and accidentally deleted the folder with my almost 100% save file, only missing two Triforce pieces.Its world was really comfy and sailing was very fun, so much so that it never occurred to me to teleport.But what I found aggravating was the lack of wrap around the map and the linearity. Making me go all the way from the bottom right to the top left to get to the Forsaken Fortress. The boat hindering you to go even a tile outside of the intended path is also a decision I can't understand.It was very fun until I had to fight Ganondorf and suddenly have beaten the game.It was so anticlimatic that I was legitimately questioning the game.I mean, first Ganondorf becomes a puppeteer and then just doesn't transform into Ganon?Fuck that. Had there been a proper Ganon fight, it would've definitely hit my top3 Zelda games.Also hate how Nintendo has kept Ganondorf instead of making a new Ganon avatar.
>>12639897you can get mail tho. that's better than Ganon. I don't give a shit about Ganon, i want letters from grandma
Post games and characters that have been gone for more than a decade.
>>12627167Huh, guess I'm the opposite of you. Love her hair but I'm not particularly interested in her breasts.
>>12619735Oni died so Bungie could fail with the Marathon reboot
>>12620281I wish there were more mods for it. I know that modded Oni has this you want...or maybe was there on default. I don't remember. I just know it exists on AE.
>>12623023Hey it's that dog
But honestly I wouldn't expect a very good game these days.
There's one videogame store in my small town (Eastern Europe) that has some used ps1 and ps2 models (SCPH-9002 - ps1 thick, SCPH-70004 - ps2 slim, no fat ps2s unfortunately), each costs 100$ (no games included). I don't know anyone nearby who does modchipping and I don't possess such skill either. They also sell original ps1/ps2 games (used) but the prices are ridiculous (from 50 to 1000$, many lack booklets and cases look damaged). I don't know where to buy or order a chipped one, I guess I'm too late to the party and everything is sold out due to speculators and panicking hoarders.Maybe it's not worth the hassle and I should continue emulating games (I have like 70 ps1 and 120 isos on my hdd and I'd gladly burn them on CDs if I could get a chipped ps console). I just want to refresh my childhood memories in a more tactile way.
>>12641864>stock ps2 won't read burned discsfree mcboot lets you load burned discs, i had my slim set up that way ywars back
>>12641869Ok, so it's similar to FreePSXBoot, I'll try to find one. Although ideally I'd love to buy a thick ps2 model and insert a hdd wih dozens of games, although it requires a special IDE to SATA adapter (which can be ordered from aliexpress) and some configuration. Damn I should had done this earlier, it's getting difficult to get anything, The last time I played ps2 was 15 years ago.But at least there's an emulator (I'm curious about how different a real hardware feels compared to emulation).
>>12641887You can get a 3rd party "network adapter" with a sata connector but no ethernet connector OR you can get a seperate sata connector board to replace the ide connector in the 1st party network adapter on Amazon for about $20. You can also get FreeMCBoot cards from Amazon for about $15.
>>12641887Emulate it and realise the games are shit and you cba to play them
>>12641869>free mcboot lets you load burned discsIt doesn't. But if you install Open PS2 Loader on top of it, you'll be able to run games from a flash / hard drive, which is even better (the laser in a PS2 slim WILL die, most likely sooner than later). PS2 + FMCB card was the best vidya purchase I've made.
holy shit this game is absolutely gorgeous
>>12641825it's a really good game too. you can literally cast a spell called NIGGER and it will do water damage. It's not babby-tier easy like FFVI or CT either. And yeah in terms of pure production values it might be the peak of the entire console, it's up there at least with other late titles like Star Ocean/DKC2/DQIIImake/Yoshi's Island. What strikes me isn't just the beautiful sprite work and tile sets but how wonderfully animated your characters in battle are. Music is amazing too. Besides FFV I think it's the best squaresoft SFC game we never got, and I've played them all.
>>12641842>settling for water damage when you can do this
>>12641851>>12641842KEK that is amazing. But I think I'm going to stick to the mantras found in game for a more balanced experience.
>>12641851
Square s second or last game on SNES iirc
