The RPG that changed gaming forever!
>>12473138>Probably the worst thing to happen to RPGsBasically, Diablo never had any impact on RPGs at all. It created its own genre and was probably the best thing to happen to gaming in general.
Whoever made scarabs should die
Why do you stupid fucks keep replying to this fucking morons threads. Every fucking week. Are you all just massive new faggots?
>>12474920>he thinks another D2 thread is a bad thing
Why do they spam these shitty threads?
2459 japanese exclusive games for the PS1More than half of the entire catalogue and if you include japanese games released in the west it's problably more than 30003/4 of the entire gigantic PS1 library are japaneseIt's even worse for the Saturn...How? Japan is far less populated than North America+europe,it should be the other way around
>>12475942Tough to keep making games when you constantly fire your staff. Western companies had a long standing issue of cutting damn near everybody after a project ended. You survived eight months of non-stop crunch? Lived in our offices while working 15 hours of unpaid overtime daily for months on end? And the finished product paid for its development costs five times over?Excellent. You're fired.
>>12476170>Now do the math for western computers or consolesC64 and Amiga were US machines but the largest amount of their games are PAL region.
>>12476192No that doesn't explain why PS4/5 or Switch have mostly western games unlike japanese console of the past
>>12475942I think part of it has to do with the fact that home computers were more popular in the west than Japan. Most of those Japanese only games were complete shovelware that would have been dumped on PC instead of console if they were made by a western developer.
>>12475942
>make a sequel that's better than the first game>don't release it for 30 yearsWhy?
>>12475968While I can understand that, it's extremely jank trying to land the charge shit without it. There's a reason charge shots have the homing aspect back in 64.
>>12466872you remember that there was no N64 Metroid because they couldn't figure out how to do it?
>>12466872Everyone had the same issues back then, they had to reinvent the wheel and all principles of game design and coding that had existed since the Atari era had to be thrown out.
>>12466872At least they weren't the Sonic X-Treme team.
>>12475874Anon who beat it last night; the game would benefit GREATLY from a charge shot. The Star Wolf fights felt jank as shit - getting and keep the aim on the was very frustrating. A charge up homing shot would have been better, but hopefully it wouldn’t trivialize the entire challenge.But I was trying to land those charge shots and it was damn near impossible.
Console mod and repairs thread. What are you working on, /vr/? I've been thinking about installing a Nintendrawer in my NES, since it came with a shitty aftermarket 72-pin connector. Anybody have any experience with these pieces of shit?
>>12475715You may be able to cover the pad in conductive paint instead of replacing them.Ideally the entire pad should be made of a condictive material but sometimes they only have a thin layer that wears off over time.
>>12475806I'll give that a shot since I can't find 1:1 replacements for the pads anyway. Seems like an easy fix. Thanks anon.
>>12475134Do you also get no image if you bring up the overlay, and no "flash" on the screen as it powered on? Could be the difference between no input signal, no output signal, etc.Good luck debugging that thing.
>>12476325No image on screen at all, no flash, no menu OSD. And I don't hear any CRT whine, but I don't expect to hear anything with a monitor that's 31khz+. If it were a standard def CRT it'd be a lot easier because I'd at least be able to hear the 15khz whine. I could try messing with the flyback and up the G2 to see if I get retrace lines or something, I suppose. But for now I'm probably going to go back over all the solder joints and reflow everything. There also doesn't appear to be any service manual or schematics available online for this particular monitor (NEC accusync AS90-BK) so I can't exactly go for that. I'm assuming the caps and ICs are hopefully good because it was working for the seller before it got shipped.
>>12475715>Does anyone know where I can get replacements?The best ones I have found, at least for my SNES controllers, were from Hoskbrew. Not sure if they have NES Advantage but it would be worth checking out if they do since they carry replacement parts for various retro consoles, including NES.I tried the Console5 SNES pads at first, but they were pretty crap. Then I saw Hoskbrew was recommended for people who got burned by Console5 and tried those, they were much better. The guy running the store even months after I had purchased them sent me an e-mail saying that others apparently he had made them even better and since I had ordered them previously if I wanted a free sample of the new set mailed to me. Only problem is the store site is a bit messy to navigate and find stuff.
Have you ever actually played an electro-mechanical (pre-digital) arcade game? How was it? Did you win?
>>12475575Nevermind, found it. Awesome Rat. Sega machine from 1992.
>>12475596I remember this looking a lot more complicated.
we had pajatso machines in most supermarkets in Finland until they were discontinued in 2015. it's like pachinko but played with coins
>>12475580???
>>12474363Very early thing, only footage of someone playing i could find. Its very simple and its all analog from what i can tell. Very cool, all i cam think of personally was one of those mini slot machines that used to exist in grocery stores in the 90s in my country, my dad let me play a couple and i didn't know what was happening i just liked all the lights going off.https://youtu.be/Aw_N10xuv2Q
Are the early VR games of the 90s effectively lost media at this point? I know some exist in the form of remakes based on gameplay footage, but what about the original binaries?
System Shock 1 supported vr. I always wondered why no one tried to force compatibility with modern headsets
My mom never let me play the vr arcade games because she was scared I would get head lice
>>12474453Excellent post
>>12474318I played that one in a VR studio on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder way back in the 90s. Pretty fun, although the pterodactls swoop was difficult for me; I'd get the turnaround ok but I rarely aimed the height angle properly, probably blasted it once out of ever 4 swoops.I remember it being pricey but they gave you multiple rounds to play; and you were basically in a mini tournament every time with multiple rounds. I only played one round with my friend because he always fucks with shit and hit a switch on the unit which set it to a solo mode or something.
>>12474453They had an installation at my local mall one summer and I never had a go on it. They had big tvs up so we could watch the games, it was 1v1 fps 15 minute rounds and it was like $10, which for comparison to see a movie was $6 and a McDonalds meal was $4. I remember the way the body disintegrated when they got shot
Is anyone else a collector of retro VG? How the fuck do you deal with the expenses? I can be an absolute cuck and buy loose cartridges and repro cases, but even that is over $100. Getting in complete in box will cost 3-4 times as much. Yes you can emulate but then you won't be getting the real experience. Are we absolutely screwed getting into this at this stage? >just paid over $150 for a loose cartridge and repro case.
[Windows 95]
>>12475034I have a job
>>12475034I don't buy retarded shit like sealed graded games. 99.9% of games are like $20 complete in box. If you have a job you can easily budget $100 or $200 to get a nice collectible video game every month.
>>12475034most retro collectors I have seen or met irl are very bad with money but tbf here most people are in general. they have normal jobs but just dump every single fiat token they have into this "hobby". they have zero assets outside of their video games, often even some kind of debt to finance that crap.
Why did she do it?
so you can make another pointless thread on the plastic collector board.

The most epic gaming moment in History!

Why Americans didn't appreciate Virtua Fighter?
>>12475285>Why didn't the Europeans appreciate the Nintendo 64? many questions50hz with those framerates?
>>12475918It's true, PAL OoT ran at 16fps, imagine, and it wasn't even translated in many territories, having only the option of English. Then you get on the internet and Americans are waxing lyrical about OoT, must have been confusing.
>Sega Saturn I wonder why
>>12475279Because it's not good and it's a genuine rock paper scissors game?
>>12475285>Why didn't the Japanese appreciate Doom?This Japanese telecom company was spun off of a multiplayer service created for Doom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwango_(company)
how about them apples
>>12475823I think that might mean you have autism instead, man
>>12475398Not at the same time. And most likely the maps are designed to align to nametable boundaries during transitions to keep things simpler. The devs were just too lazy to figure out scrolling or design their maps in a way that made such rooms unnecessary.
>>12475823>Everyone else is wrong, not meok>>12475821I like when this is done in media. Breaking Bad did it really well. In the later seasons, whenever some crazy fuckin shit just went down, there would often be a long 4 or 5 minute scene with someone (usually Mike) going through slow, mechanical motions, setting something up, the purpose of which wouldn't immediately be clear. It was a nice way to decompress and contemplate the consequences of what just happened and bring your emotional state back to a baseline, while also giving you the opportunity to play detective and try to figure out what exactly was taking place on screen now.
>>12475907Not saying he is wrong, just an autist.
>>12475925what's autistic about what he said though
Is Albion worth playing?Its looks really good for a DOS era RPG but i barley ever hear people talk about it.Do not want to get invested in a game that falls of considerably in the later half.Or give up on a game that has a slow start.
>sees players assume the role of a space pilot aboard a mining colony ship, who becomes stranded on a world set to be mined for its resources, despite it teeming with life and sentient races. why did these useless german cunts copy avatar?
>>12475462albionest the game feels more like an adventure rather than rpg
>>12475734>albionest
I really like Albion, but it is not for everyone, and it can get quite grindy at times. It is basically the spiritual successor to Ambermoon. After the team behind it went bankrupt, they no longer had the rights to make the planned sequel, so Albion was created instead. Ambermoon was officially released only in German, but nowadays it is easy to play in English thanks to the open-source Ambermoon.net remake: https://pyrdacor.itch.io/ambermoon
It's a good game, but it can be tedious
With decades of hindsight, what were the best 1980's RPG games or franchises?
>>12475938why no Wizard's Crown/The Eternal Dagger?
I played Akalabeth for the Apple ][ and I got filtered, then I emulated its MS-DOS version and yeah, filtered. I'm 30yo. My 1st RPG is SMRPG.Sucks to be a fucking millennial. I'm afraid I must download its manual and print it just as I did with Fallout.
>>12475951>niche in the west until years laterThis board is pathetic
>>12475982The more the merrier.
>>12476047thanks, I love Wizard's Crown
I'm assuming pic related, Monkey Mayhem from Time Splitters 2? How much more racist can a level get? Just look at the mission description:>"Some evil circus clowns have ENSLAVED the performing black Monkey niggers and forced them to carry their WATER MELONS! Free the black Monkey niggers by shooting the WATER MELONS out of their paws, but aim carefully..."Wow I'm surprised Free Radical Design (Rare?) was able to get away with this blatantly racist joke. Even by the lenient standards of 2002 it still feels like the ESRB would not allow such mature content in a video game unless it was rated AOAlso on the topic of Time Splitters I should ensure this thread is somewhat high effort I.E. pitch a few questions to anon like:>Who is the most powerful character in the TS Trilogy?
