That and the better textures.
And the CD music and storage.
And the third party support.
And the not bottlenecked memory.
And the RGB output.
But it doesn't have the library of the same 5 Mario and Zelda games that speedrun trannies love playing over and over, so I guess it loses by default...!

Yes, the program that literally has a database of every user's computer and constantly runs traffic in the background even when a game isn't running is spyware. It's copy protection anyways, have fun cracking your games once steam goes down.

I always found it weird that they made the mirror shield a post-game item

It's just an extra that didn't have much purpose. Might as well shove it in the post-game to make it feel more rewarding.

>and I never thought this was that much of an issue desu.
It's pretty exemplary of why it's bad. The mirror shield has no reason to exist. There's no reason to do the sidequests. Shrinking down isn't used to its maximum potential. It's a short, repetitive, backtrack heavy, gimmick of a game.

Punched through Ice Cavern with all steals and items found. Camped outside of Dali until I ran across the friendly monster and gave him an Ore, and encountered Ragtime Mouse once during the process. Everyone is level 8-9 now, next stop is Dali, but I'll wait to deal with it tomorrow.

>>12639758
Cleared Dali, the Cargo Ship, and saved just inside of Lindblum Castle before meeting up with Cid. Stole everything from every enemy and boss, got all treasures, played cards and won against everyone possible, saw all ATEs so far, got the stella token, and got the Very Good Fortune before leaving town. Will probably play more later, but I need a break for now.

>>12617103
It was my first FF since I got into them after 7 had come and gone. I always thought it was one of the best, that 5/7/9 are the best ones.
I guess I could think of some complaints, but it's stuff like not getting to spend more time on Terra, or Zidane's trance abilities all having the same function. I didn't engage with the more obscure optional stuff, only the chocobo treasure hunt and beating Ozma.
>>
>>12641139
Met with Cid, ran around town grabbing everything and beating everyone in cards, got some new cards and a bunch of new equipment, then went outside and smacked around Axe Beaks and giant spiders until Zidane was level 15, mostly to farm AP. Saved right before the Festival of the Hunt, will continue tomorrow. All disc 1 ATEs completed, but I still have Quina, Chocobo Hot and Cold, Gilzamuke Grotto or however it's spelled, grinding dragons outside of the grotto, and Burmecia to go on disc 1 once I finally get out of Lindblum.

What are some games that are ooze-core?

>ooze-core. a game that comes from the age back when genres weren't clearly defined, coming from the primordial ooze so-to-speak.

Populous and a lot of Hydlides are like this. You might see features from a genre in the other or devs trying different concepts in one game.

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realist Yuji Naka is a sadist. His level design was fun, but intentionally designed around exploiting your instincts to give the worst possible outcome unless you learn where the traps are. But, by rarely killing Sonic as long as he’s holding at least one ring, the player will be less likely to quit, and keep punishing themselves longer and longer.

Yuji Naka loved tormenting kids.

Rumors in general. Maybe they still exist, but they get easily and quickly proven or disproven nowadays thanks to data mining. Nothing will top the absolutely crazy rumor mill that was Pokemon, especially since a lot of insane shit that sounded like it was some made up bullshit from that kid whose uncle worked at Nintendo was actually real thanks to glitches.

It was so amazing to find hidden stuff and cheat codes back then. Finding some weird room or character, that had nothing to do with the game was truly an interesting experience

It's probably the worst feeling/controlling game of that entire gen.

the vast majority of sequels are better than the first game, because the devs make a more realized and gameplay optimized version of the first one

but this doesn't mean the first RE is bad, it is very comfy and enjoyable.

>>12641174
>Why was it kino
Interchangeable Leon/Claire A/B scenarios is a big reason why it's kino. It still mogs the 2019 remake for that very reason. I always used to play Leon A then Claire B for decades until just before the remake came out and decided to try Claire A then Leon B instead and realised THAT was the way it was always meant to be played.

Crash 1 is 96 and mogs

I sold it along with the Cube back in 2016 (this phot is a decade old), and today I tried some on Dolphin, but the NGC catalog is dogshit. I grew up with it, but I’m too old for Pokémon and Sonic’s Chao Garden now. Both Starfox games are terrible, and Sunshine feels like a gimmicky OG Xbox platformer like that cat game by artoon. The only good game besides smelee is F-Zero GX, and that’s it.
I have no idea how I managed to put up with an NGC for so many years. It’s such a childish console that only a manchild would enjoy in 2026.

Kururin Squash is good if you can get over thinking of yourself as a manchild. It's aimed at children but it's japanese exclusive, so it's still hard as fuck if you go for 100%.
There's a translation patch although you wouldn't lose out on much if you played it untranslated. There's extremely little text and what is there is a literal baby storybook, as in that's like the whole theme of the game.
