What are some of the most memorable ones?
The 64 Demon/Devil Kings in Might and Magic 2.The game is already happy to drop 1000+ enemies that are insanely powerful on you. By the time you reach the final area, you probably already have a level 30+ team who's more than capable of finishing things off. Tons of health, good stats, all the spells, and some quality gear. Right before the final fight, you meet the 64 Kings who bow to your accomplishments. You have the option of moving past them, or fighting them. If you choose to fight them, all the stuff you have so far won't be enough to take down 10 of them before your entire team is wiped.If you want to even attempt to take down the 64 Kings, you need to get serious about boosting your stats to their maximum(254 in everything except ENDurance which will actually loop back around and be less than having 160), leveling up to push your attack and HP through the roof(level 60-70 or higher), and you'll need to figure out a way to grind up the gold and EXP needed to do both BEFORE your characters age up far enough to start losing effectiveness. Grinding up some +gear up to +30 to +60 is also helpful. Even then, you need to wipe them FAST because they do AoE attacks that Eradicate party members, requiring two spells to bring them back that can and do fail often.I've never beaten them legit, and only managed to clear all 64 with a heavily cheated party that had perfect stats and all +63 gear as well as being level 90.
Discuss anything involving Wii homebrew for playing retro games.Right now I'm using the Retroarch Hexaeco build for games and it's been working very well so far with everything I've tried (Neo Geo was the only core that I tried that had crashes and it was with the big games like KoF2002).
>>12265104I'm using the Retroarch Hexaeco fork and the GameBoy games ran fine using the mGBA core (even beat a game on it recently), the stand alone mGBA emulator ran those games fine too (I used RA instead because of the limited display options mGBA has).As for Mame I tried some games I had and it ran them rather fine, CPS-3 games and large Neo-Geo games were the ones that had speed issues.Can't say for NES and SNES cores on RA but the stand alone emulators (fceux and snes9x) seemed to work fine.
>>12265915Gambatte would be a better choice if using RetroArch, since it's faster and better at GameBoy emulation than mGBA. There's also gpSP as an alternative if you need a more performant GBA emulator. VBA GX really should be updated to use the newest build as basis instead of some old ome from 2014.
>>12265027Theyre actually pretty decent now. Ps1 is good, I beat silent hill on my wii.
>>12266082With or without dithering turned on?
>>12266121Dithering on. The fps actually pretty rarely went below 60 most likely because the draw distance outside is naturally so low. Most other fully 3d games you would probably have to turn the dithering off to get a constant 60.
how do I boot games with saturn internal save memory on my saroo? im holding z but it's not working. help.
Post characters that you consider forgotten.
>>12262792when? ed has been saying that for YEARS...
This game was so stupidly good. This and Tron 2.0 raised the bar beyond what anyone else was doing until CoD1 came out.
>>12259612god I loved that game for the upskirtes
UNATCO... home.
>>12261005The level design in this game is great, but I feel like that's the only gameplay thing I loved about it (story, atmosphere, etc. were also fantastic, but that's an aside thing). Didn't like the shooting, the aug system, the RPG mechanics, the lack of consequences for a lot of choices (seriously, why is it so little of a deal if you save Paul), etc. etc.
>>12265537And how are they supposed to make it a "big deal" to save Paul exactly? Most people didn't even know you could do that, or have Sandra Renton stay with her dad, etc. so a brief extra scene that other people don't get to see is fine. Augmentations give you more freedom to solve problems in non-typical ways; if you are too afraid to experiment or just want to put the square peg in the square hole and get your ass patted for doing things the "right way" then go play Zelda or something. I see Deus Ex as part of the lineage of Thief and System Shock 2 so I find it completely retarded that anybody plays it like it's an FPS game. Also what 'RPG mechanics' are you so disappointed in? You want a fucking skill tree or to be able to solve every problem by picking the largest response on a dialogue tree?
>>12265637>And how are they supposed to make it a "big deal" to save Paul exactlySimple answer is just more dialogue regarding it would've done a lot, especially radio messages and such from Paul himself. For such a big character, he doesn't even have much to say beyond finding him in the med room and the holo-call near the endThe rest I won't reply to because you're trying to turn this from discussion to argument, and I just simply won't be engaging with that.
>>12265653His augs were shut down, he didn't have the ability to contact you at that point, nor would it make sense to
>>12261005This game is 80 percent atmosphere and I have no issue with that. Gameplay is great, graphics were good for the time of release, story pulls you in. It's the overall experience that people enjoy.
Is that possible?
>>12265557>Being an adult is thinkingunfortunately
>>12265557shimaidon.
>>12266084In my case I got it for Christmas. Aaand then I realized that the game needed that expansion pak thing, which I didn't have yet.
>>12266607damn, that would've taken the wind out of my sails as a kid.i didn't get an n64 until '99 and it had an expansion pak included
>>12265557Cremia was always hot. Tastes are not a phase-changing process like the water cycle, regardless of the normie's need to reorder everything into a shitty meme template.
Mario kinda fell off when it stopped featuring genuine horror. Thankfully the Zelda games never lost their creepy factor.
>>12265447Not him but the redeads always unnerved me as a kid, especially since you HAVE to approach them and get REEEE'd at if you want to kill them.
Dry Bowser is the most metal thing to come out of the Mario series
>>12265380Trying to pass off your babygame franchise as being dark in some way just makes you come off as insecure about liking it.
>>12266248don't pretend you didn't have thalassophobia as a kid
>>12266486That didn't start until Sunshine
What are your best and worst Christmas gaming memories
>>12264481Go through the saturn’s library and you’ll see they’re all ports or bad games.
Best:xmas 2001, I was a 6yo getting an N64 with Pokémon Stadium 2 and Mario Kart, it had 2 controllers: grey and purple. I gave the purple one to my little sister.Worst:Christmas 2008, my mother told me that if my school grades averaged 90 or more, I’d get an Xbox 360. I managed to hit the average, but scored in 70 and something for Chemistry. Being honest, I told her about it, and she ended up returning the Xbox, leaving me with nothing. I thought maybe I hiding info was right. maybe I should have lied and said I had over 90 in everything (I had some perfect scores in different subjects that made up for that 70), but I didn’t. Later, I told my dad (my parents were divorced), and he said that was all nonsense. He bought me a motherfucking PS3 with Metal Gear Solid 4, the 80GB edition.I had mixed feelings. The PS3 was more expensive, fancier, and MGS4 was the game of 2008, but all my friends had an Xbox 360, and I wanted to play Gears of War and Halo 3 with them, But using watching bluray as an excuse to invite girls over was better.That New Year’s Eve, after my father talking with my mother, I moved in with him. My mom said she was right 'cause she meant that I was supposed to get all 90s and higher but she told me 90 in average. Years later, I realized my father wasn’t upset because she returned the Xbox, but because of the ridiculous ideas I might get from the kind of nonsense my mother could come up with.

What's more useless than a Genesis ?>>12265643>a second Genesis
>>12265058>people are talking about video games on a video game board
Any other fellow anons from those countries can give me their experiences with retrogaming (growing up, popular games, collecting or emulating in current day, etc..).All I know is that the PS2 is still incredibly popular there, would like to know if Sega, Atari or the OG Xbox had their fans.
Ecuadorian nintendrone here, people used to call all consoles " nintendos"There were famicons and ppl called them chinese nintendos, ome strange thing that happened here is that sometimes when you tuned on channel 3 you could watch other people playing beneath the static, I called it old world twitch
Mexican here. My uncle was a homie living in LA, he got me SEGA Systems like Genesis and Dreamcast. I grew up as a Tendie faggot with a NES, SNES and N64. NGC looked so gay so I went full Snoy.
>>12266484>when you tuned on channel 3 you could watch other people playin@grok is this real
>>12266559Yeah most ppl dont believe it , but u had to be there, I used to play on a toshiba dial tv , you could actually move the dial to refine the channel 3 frequency, last game play I remember was someone playing the level 1 underground in mario bros for Nes, houses here are very close to each other maybe someone near was playing idk
>>12266484>>12266601I believe you, it happened to me one time as well while my older brother was in our room playing Street Fighter II and I decided to go to my parents' room to watch TV. I was flipping through the channels, and one of them was very static-y but it was clearly someone playing SFII, and so I ran to my room to see if it was the same thing my brother was doing, and it was.
This is amazing, I want this but more of it!>sequel exists>cuts out the sim gameplayabsolutely disgusting
I enjoyed the remake but I can see how some people would just prefer the sidescroller sections
>>12262745Totes
Is this one of those heckin' hidden gemmers?
>>12264654ActRaiser certainly isn't. ActRaiser 2 sort of is.
>>12264826Right. Not doing the sim elements in the sequel was maybe a marketing blunder. Didn't give people what they were expecting and so wrote it off.
Post games that could been a master piece.
>>12263057holy self report
>>12263043It is a design choice guided by the mixed intentions of genuine sincerity for pushing tech limits and padding out game time:
>>12253653It should done the following reduce the maps by 2/3, actually music, more time one the writing, be on more then gaming systems, and of course the internet access.
>>12254857>no real TR clonesDeath Trap Dungeon, Urban Chaos, Heretic 2, Prince of Persia 3D, Soul Reaver, and a whole host of shitty low budget euro games no one's ever heard of.As for IJATIM, it had very strong level design and puzzle design, unfortunately controlling him was aids-retarded. The tank controls on Lara Croft felt almost effortless, where-as Indiana Jones literally felt like you were actually controlling a fucking tank. It was bizarre and off-putting.
>>12259671It didn't sell because it was too overtly weebish and it was marketed to a Western crowd. I remember seeing it on display and going "Well I know I'm not buying THAT".Even other weeb games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy have artfully done covers that attempts to hide its weebshittery.
What's the best Xbox hardware revision? I want to replace my sister's ps2 (picrel) with one as a prank.
1,6
>>122664791.4
>>12266479wow that sounds like an ebin prank OP. i'm sure many laughs won't be had.
>>12266479Anything but 1.6. Too many issues with 1.6 that none of the others have. A quick recap and repaste makes them all work fine (maybe band for dvd). But seriously 1.6 has a few issues no other unit has.1.0/1.1 is the same as 1.2/1.3/1.4 but maybe the extra fan might need replacing. The benefit of the 1.0/1.1 is most likely easiest to TSOP flash and easiest to add ram and swap cpu (if you know someone with a bga machine)
aquatic skank
>>12265719>muh trad racemixxerShe's basically a coal burner
>>12265745Bejitabro btw
BUILT for BIG KOKIRI
>>12265673>official art. naked fish tiddies.how did nintendo get away with this?what did they mean by this?
>>12265673Anyway OOT discussion thread since I'm too lazy to make a new thread and the OP's topic is barely a topic. Jabu Jabu is the least good of the child dungeons. Of the three pre-Master Sword dungeons of OOT/WW/TPPersonal Preference:Lakebed > Tower of Gods > Jabu JabuGoron Mines > Dodongo Cavern > Forbidden WoodsForest Temple > Dragon Roost Cavern > Deku TreeChild dungeons were the weakest of Ocarina. OOT Child Link had it easy compared to the other two in obtaining the Master Sword.
My favorite Final Fantasy
>>12264869oh yeah, the intro to this game totally screams straight male. definitely an experience you wouldnt be ashamed to get caught observing.https://youtu.be/z2e4_XChGwA?si=IYFZSR7EN4uiNhuf
>>12266021Caring about what other people would think, now that's gay.
>>12266021>definitely an experience you wouldnt be ashamed to get caught observing.This is a uniquely Western form of neuroticism.
>>12266017Okay, I will.
>>12264562Significantly better gameplay than X, but silly romcom plot.
The PS2 is more powerful that the Gamecube.
>>12248898Burnout 3 devs were just bad programmers that couldn't hop from PS3 architecture (which was highly specific for certain graphical effects) to GC. It's unironically a skill issue on their part lol
>>12266423>PS2Fixed
>>12256349Unfair comparison. The PS2 image has clearly been de-interlaced.
>>12266487Isn't that just the PS2's natural bilinear filter?
If you see the "cubie"-spammer, you can freely brap its face. The fucker belongs to the gas chamber.
