Why not Hunter?
>>
>>12238818
Because Savior is way more popular than Hunter these days. Hunter did have a strong playerbase for years, but it's faded out over time in a way that Savior hasn't. And that's just talking Japan, when you leave Japan there's very, very few Hunter players. And I say this all as someone who prefers Hunter.

Why is Super Metroid so perfect?
Also who did the level design, Sakamoto?
If yes then why he didn't work as level designer in most of the sequels?

The only other Metroid game where I saw this kind of approach in the level design was Zero Mission
And AM2R if you don't count the official games

The Prime games are very linear and offer little liberty for the player to do sequence break

What's so great about sequence breaking in the modern era? If you discover a shortcut by yourself, I can see how that would deliver a thrill. If you found it in a guide or a YouTube video called "10 Ways to Sequence Break Super Metroid," as you almost certainly did, then where is the pleasure in that?

Thanks anon.
I already did the Ice Beam Room in my second playthrough though (this one is my 3rd playing on my phone).

>>12239119
Doing the trick is still hard and it's still fun.

There are also multiple ways of doing some sequence breaks.
So it's fun to experiment and try different things.

i love these games so much its hard to play them today because I played them to hell and back in the 90s and early 2000s they hold no surprises other than trips down memory lane. Maybe a year from now or so I'll play them all one last time before putting a hiatus for another few years.

puzzles in survival horror never really bothered me, it was the one off items that you couldn't find the location to use them or just forgetting a room that you already entered once and never went back too because it was locked or you thought nothing was in it.

The only one I had to look up was the one where you had to call a scientist's pager to find out which body's fingerprints you had to use to recode a security card & I immediately regretted it since the solution makes so much sense. Though I hadn't noticed you could dial the phone so I probably would have just spent the next hour flailing around getting nothing accomplished desu

I remember most C64 games being hard, and it was usually because of the controls. The Dizzy games were meant for young kids, but the awkwardness of platforming with the joystick could make them absurdly difficult at times. I played TLN1 and I thought the controls were the main issue there, too.

Sounds like you had a shitty joystick. When I moved away from my Epyx 500XJ to console controllers and shit it felt like a downgrade.

The main objective benefit of a connected dpad is you can more quickly reverse your direction.
Imagine you're depressing dpad right, and you want to press left...well the left side of the dpad is raised, and your thumb can exert a force on it with less movement.
Going from 3 o'clock to 10 o'clock is shorter than 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Not a perfect analogy, but should get the idea across.
>>
>>12234439
Nigger, the Sega D-pad is the GOAT.
>>
>>12239005
The distance from depressed right to depressed left is the same regardless of if the Dpad is conjoined or not, though. I do think if you need to frequently switch directions, though, conjoined Dpads are much more comfortable, especially the very overtly conjoined ones like the Genesis.

to this day i have no idea why they tied all that to the trails option. you can get sharptrails to make up for it at least.
>>
>>12238979
i think because all the effects are tied to heavy use of the PS2's framebuffer, and the option simply turns off the framebuffer being displayed for several frames after as a ghost image.
>>
Whenever you turn off Trails in the PS2 versions, it suddenly turns the games into their PC ports with all the dull colors and even lighting and the cars that are too dark.

>>12239021
Yeah people forget that trails stack on static 3d elements so they give the game more vibrancy.

I don't know if I ever finished it though. Going to play it again soon.

Culture Brain's affinity for mishmashing incongruous genres gives some of their games a weird feeling. Like RPG-style battles in a single plane BMU is such an odd choice.

No the game was only given a proof of concept translation for like the first chapter with machine TL. Nothing substantial and I think it even crashes. Like with all Saturn games, don't forget [you are here.]

I miss the days when each version of a simulator had its own genre of other sims/simlites/simcades. You had the tank genre, the sub genre, the jet fighter genre, the space fighter genre, the ww2 fighter genre, the ww1 genre...now it's all just "all-in-one" slop and I hate it.
