Most of my time playing 3 was spent sitting on those screens because the game itself is super vapid, like an over-correction of 2's issues, and its unfortunate since I kind of like the spastic battle theme/battle screens in 3
I'll play 4, it really sounds like 1 and 4 are the best ones and 1 is fantastic

Parasite Eve 1 is an action RPG, you fucking retards. Evidence that the only reason retards can't get into the game is that they heard a YouTuber call it le survival horror inspired by Resident Evil and got disappointed when they got a kino JRPG instead. Seriously fuck off already.
>Hurr durr it was advertised as Survival horror
It wasn't, look on the back of the box, you fucking idiot.

So I noticed that there is a resolution option for the "native" resolution but I can't find anything definitive about why it's not used by default? Shouldn't it be the best, it's native so it's the default that's warped by a TV into 4:3 or 16:9 right?

Is there any reason to not do native? Does it not scale as well or something?

Without the 32x failure
And a mandate for late Genesis ports to the Saturn to use more buttons(looking at you Shining Wisdom)

It could have gotten somewhere.
At the end of the day, fun is fun, and games can be unique.

No, with a mandate for a Genesis converter add-on.

This. When a console lives so rent free inside of an individual's mind to the extreme of making him have the daily job of having to post about it for hours, then you know the console is good.

What is a critically panned game that you somehow like playing?

Hellnight got mostly mid-to-horrible scores by reviewers, and it undeniably has a barren and low-budget feeling for most of the experience. Still you can tell the devs and artists were genuinely inspired, it's an actually creepy and scary horror game with very effective art, music and writing.

I'm trying to remember if that glitch ever happened to me, and I feel like maybe it did once. I do know at times the monster is just so bullshittingly fast that it could seem like it got you from a distance but it actually caught up from running 200 times faster than you

Either way I believe you, and I understand dropping the game for it, but I think it's a very rare occurrence

There wasn't, as the rest of the journos gave it a good score. The IGN guy got mad at not getting gud and did that review, which led IGN to do a video in defense of God Hand.

Independent of the quality of the game, why are these fake covers so abundant? It's like those SNES games with the black K-A ESRB rating, which are fake since that rating got replaced by E before they changed the format to the black letter.

I assume it's not so much that they're fake, but simply images provided to reviewers and retailers. The actual Gun Club cover is pretty much identical to the one I originally posted, minus the black fill on top. I imagine whoever their graphic artist was accidentally bundled an unfinished cover with their promo material. Probably use a template like that when framing the image.

I don't know about shitty e-celeb rama but In cosmic fantasy 1 the text you get when dealing and receiving damage from normal attacks is reversed: when it says "Yu attacks monster for 80 damage" it actually means that the "Monster attacked Yu for 80 damage", same applies for your attacks.
Actual unplayable garbage, you'd knew this if you actually played the collection.

The 5th gen console jump to CDs inspired a PC port boom but that died out by 6th gen. Hell FF7 and 8 got timely PC ports but how long did it take for 9 and 10 to get one?
