The fact the console was capable of doing this, just sony didn't let it is only further proof consoles are scams. This is not even an original PS2 game.

Read that the ps5 operating system actually natively recognizes ps2 and ps3 discs and if just wasn't utilized. The homebrew ps2 emulator didnt have to add that

Its because of ps3 being a bitch to emulate and higher ups at sony not thinking people care about older games. I understand why ps4 dropped ps3 but come on it could't have been that hard to throw and ps1/ps2 emulator on there

Clearly not the case, otherwise they wouldn't have used older games as a key feature of PS+ Premium, nor would they put so much stock into memberberry shit with a lot of their current output.

That scene from Swingers is not only great, it's probably one of the most accurate gaming scenes in movies (besides mixing up some details and playing NHLPA Hockey '93 instead of NHL '94). But in spirit it's correct.

Goofs from IMDB
>They say they are playing NHL '94 and that this is the one where the player can make the opponent's head bleed, but this was in NHLPA '93 and not in the '94 version.
>Although the guys all lament the fact that there is no fighting in the version of video hockey they are playing, that version is NHLPA '93, which did, in fact, have fighting (as well as being able to make someone's head bleed). Fighting was not removed from the series until NHL '94.
The game on the screen is wrong and some mix-ups over the versions, but the whole thing about removing the fighting in NHL '94 was a real thing and it accurately captures the feeling of playing Genesis with your bro.

100% factual statement. clerks 2 was not great at all. clerks 3.. jesus. utterly fucking miserable. kevin's fatal flaw was trying to cash-in repeatedly on clerks while having barely any talent for writing, producing or directing. he got lucky with the first movie. it was unique. he couldn't never recapture or replicate that ever again

People just seem butthurt about AVGN out of principle but are people really going to act like those weren't legit complaints?

Most people found the dam level frustrating, putting a health powerup in an area that's impossible to reach is a dick move, having a hole on a floor that you jump over by not jumping makes no sense and Donatello is just way more useful than the rest of the Turtles
>>
>>12882814
AVGN became popular by airing out complaints us 80's/90's kids all had about those games. We laughed hard 'cuz we agreed. It's just zoomers who played with save states or rewind that don't get it.

>Donatello is just way more useful than the rest of the Turtles

This isn't true, Raph is the best turtle once you get good because Donatello is too slow

also those things are nitpicks in the grand schemes, and you forget things that are blatantly wrong like claiming "turtles can't swim", even though the turtles CAN fucking swim in the game and it's the current they can't do anything against, and only talking about new enemies to claim the game has nothing to do with the source material, while ignoring everything else that makes it more respectful to the source material than the vast majority of licensed games at the time (and after its time); things which every impressionnable midwit still believes to be true about the game.

How the fuck do I get gud at this game?
>>
>>12882609
It's an R-Type game.
So like with any R-Type game, lots of memorization for positioning, figuring out where it's best to place/throw your Force to protect yourself and rush down enemy mobs, and experimenting with what ammo color works best for what stage/section.
Good luck. Thankfully, the game is mercifully very short (30ish minutes for a full run).
You should be able to just wing it for the first 2 stages, but stage 3 onwards is where the game fucks you hard in the ass and you really have to route your run.
>>
>>12882650
Are there any good guides for general routing or for recovery strats? Recovering in this game seems way more punishing than in R-Type Final.

I don't know what it is, but I just can not stand this game. I like all the other classic Castlevanias, but this one just seems off. Feels like an indie game attempting to be Castlevania, right down to being more annoying than anything else in the name of "difficulty". If your idea of fun is not having fun, then you'll probably love it.

Why couldn't they have more than a single screen?
>>
>>12881082
>>12880639

You can get through the first 3-4 stages/blocks with little to no memorization. It's only the last 2 stages that demand some bit of memorization and precision. If you do like the other classicvanias the way you claim you do, then nothing that the first game does should be out of the ordinary.

Still better than other castlevania ones.

Almost finishing this. Despite some retarded design choices (not being able to farm for 2 seasons) and barely having any content after the first year, I enjoyed it.

I wanted this game to be good so badly when I was younger, I was so desperate for any kind of modern Batman game. I kept coming back to it hoping I was missing something or that it would click because it had potential. There is some cool stuff in here for the time but it's just kind of a piece of shit unfortunately.

Nomad was introduced 3 years before Red and Blue were stateside. There was a window there where the GB was fading from relevance and another handheld could have taken the crown. Unfortunately, the only other rival handhelds introduced during that timeframe was the Game.Com.

blood omen has adequately executed gameplay that you have to work with to get through to the next story point. it comes from an era where we put up woth jank because the game itself is unique and the presentation was great. it’s not that you lie to yourself and say it’s okay, it’s that you put up with weird control and lackluster elements because the kino factor is high and the atmosphere. this was before games like ff7. it was an important step toward the kinomatic that became prevalent. i played it recently abd found it a but tedious in parts but i finished it and was happy to revisit it

This is the only series where story quality and gameplay quality are inverse curves as the series progresses. Defiance almost has what I'd call good gameplay.

the actress who played Skyler White in breaking bad does a couple voices in that game and one of them she did in the sequels too.
