What is the relationship ? you think it was Sega fans who made the PS2 successful???

they are few in number.
And even though the first Xbox sold very little in Japan, it still sold.

The Legacy Collection is a source port, that's why there's music mods for it to have the Remastered Tracks albums.

In theory someone could mod there a larger FOV.

After playing a ton of Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Gear stuff you get used to playing on a low FOV... it's a matter of practice, nothing more.

Blazing Lasers aka Gunhed has great gameplay, great music, and great voice samples for being small enough to fit on a Hu-Card. It is also a video game based on a movie:

I've played it in Seattle. It's great. Uh... I don't have anything particularly clever to say about it. Getting to multiball is harder than it is on a typical Stern.

Originally there was going to be a thing where you unlock features in Bond 60th by playing the regular Bond pin and vice versa, but I think they gave up on that. Now you can just scan a special non-account qr code to get new soundtracks for multiball in 60th. Probably that feature was originally going to be unlocked through playing the regular Bond pin.

No, at least not with the current price of retro hardware and the cartridges/CDs for it... I know it's a bit cliche to say this, but unless you have a lot of money to spare and/or you don't want to collect that much stuff... then just emulate. I do see the appeal of authenticity, but as long as you still have a CRT, or shaders at least, and accurate controllers then you'll be fine for the most part.

I guess it's worth buying the things you value the most, the ones you feel that you have to have, as long as they're not too out of your reach or if you find a good price... still, just emulate most stuff.

>still fun to play but gameplay aged badly
For me, it's the opposite. Overall movement in the trilogy is superior and more arcadey which is what I want in a video game. 4s "realism" is jarring especially coming off playing the 3d trilogy. 5 just felt especially off. I have played all 5 games near time of release, I have played all 5 recently and the only ones I have beaten 100% and still come back to are 3, VC and SA.
I really wanted to get into 4 and 5 because I have heard so many good things about them for their stories, I just couldn't get into them the same way due to gameplay.

I played through San Andreas again recently. The last time would have gone through it full would have been around 2007 or 2008.
It was odd how much I enjoyed the eating/fitness mechanics after completely loathing them as a teen. Do a mission, get some food, change your clothes. It all felt quite immersive.
While I didn't have that much trouble with Supply Lines, I get why others would. Giving the mission before getting access to the flight school is pretty odd.
The main gripe I have with San Andreas, it's Maccer.
What is the point of this character? Why is he here? I know why he's in the game, It's because it was made by fucking Rockstar North, but Maccer is a pointless comic relief character in a game comprised mostly of comic characters.
He's even in the final scene, which Woozie didn't even appear in.

For example every Zelda main game has a lot of hype and its own cult but with DQ you rarely hear about the ones that aren't 3, 5, 8 and 11

Did you play the rest? Are you even interested in them? How would you rank them if you played them?

Dragon Quest I isn't mindless grinding. The biggest hook of the game is progressing to towns, talking to towns folk, and gleaning new information. This information can be new items that unlock new areas in previous towns to where there are secret passages within the towns. It's slowly unraveling and unlocking a world within this small game. It was the most satisfying aspect of the game, and the sequel just amped it up and let you loose when you had to find all the sigils.

>I don't know why 9 is forgotten
It came out on the DS and is DS only before the series really took off in popularity in the west.
>>
>>11114220
I don't think there's much to talk about. 9 is good for a DS game, but it's a serious step back. The story is virtually non-existent, nothing memorable about it. You can't recruit monsters either. The class system is good though, and the after game turns it into a dungeon crawler. I guess they shilled multiplayer but I've never seen anyone use it. So I think they wanted "DQ3 again" and it just felt a bit meh.
>>
>>11112175
Played all of them, my favorite is IX.
Retro fags just mention those because some troon that made an emulator made a neutral translation for 3 and 5 along 8.
XI isn't bad and is one of the best but each game has it's own thing with IX and X having custom made characters along visual armor change, for story VII and so on.
>>
>>11112175
Played every one except for 2/3/10/11
I think the first game is the best and the series took a wrong turn afterwards.

Not that I take it seriously, the game still has that silly vibe that I really like in the GTA 3D games.
It's more that his character fits the setting and gameplay of killing people for your own gain and sometimes for lols.
They didn't try to make him have noble aspirations or act like "Man, I just need to do this for my family, I'm a victim of circumstance!". It was purely "I want to be king goombah"

Agreed, I thought Vic would be a cool character, but it felt silly that you'd carjack someone and then back over them so you can sell the car to the exporter, then next mission he's like "Man, I just need enough money to support my little brother. I'm a good person!"

It's not just a black thing, it's a low societal position thing in general. In Australia & NZ they use the term "tall poppy syndrome", and it refers to people who criticise and scrutinise people who are more successful than they are to the point that the worst cases do try to bring the successful person back down to their level.
